Hello,I am working on setting up XML docs to compose SVG graphics through PE (5.4 M100, on Win2008 x64)).  Prior to this, we were using bi-level TIFF images.I can get documents to publish with SVG images if it's just one or two per doc, but any more than that causes the "Java Heap Error".Anyone have experience with this problem?  I tried setting APTJVMARGS to bump the java memory space, but PE started throwing errors about one of the built-in Windchill adapters no being able to create the JVM, so I backed that off.  Doing a set javavmargs or javamemory causes the same problem.I had set graphicapptransform=svg:png; in the init directory, but that doesn't seem to help.Short of upgrading to PE 6 to get an x64 build going (not a quick option for me), does anyone have any other recommendations?

Fellow Forum Members,Is it possible in Arbortext Editor 6.1 to use the Print Compose feature for the task of printing 150 separate XML files into a single PDF in a batch mode process? The idea I have is to code a XML file that will list all of the XML files in the order I want and here is where I need help. How can I direct the Print Compose tool to print all of the XML files in a batch mode by using such a XML list file?  Any opinion on how I can accomplish this will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

Hey folks,I have a situation where I'm referencing an attribute value from the root node in a block that is getting formatted into a table with gentext. The problem is I lose the attribute value because XPaths do not work in gentext very well.Consider the sample XML...<root attr="foo"><block><p> The value is <placeholder target="attr"/>.</p></block></root>I have an XPath/Attribute set on placeholder to get the value of "attr" from the root node. The stylesheet is formatting <block> into a table. When these combine, I lose the value of attr in placeholder.I've seen this done before, but can't remember how it is done. Appreciate any tips.Thanks,-Jeff

Hi,I have created a FOSI that produces a sorted numerical index for parts data. Right now, the final output is formatted with algroups and boxing. This kind of works but I would like to instead output the final index in tabular format like a gentable. I'm just not sure where to introduce the tabmat markup.If I wrap the pseudo elements that save my index.app, I can get the tabular markup in the preliminary index but then I get no final index at all. Not good.If I try adding the table markup to the final index pseudo elements, I get errors about unbalanced tags - I think because nothing I put in the <ixfinal> element seems to take effect, but I don't know where else to put the <tabmat> wrapper markup. I tried creating a new <_final> pseudo element but that didn't have any effect either.Has anyone done this before? anyone have any hints how I can get this to work?Thanks,KM

I'm trying to create a macro that will select a fill by an RGB value (R:252, G:249, B:206). So far I haven't been able to get this to work, can anyone help? Please & Thanks

I just installed Arbortext Editor 6.1 on a new Windows 7 machine. When I open my XML document, I get the Schema/DTD not found error [A15015]. I browse for the DTD file and associate it with my XML document. When I close the XML file, Arbortext does not remember the association, and I have to again browse for the DTD and associate it each time I open the document.This happens whenever I close and reopen the XML document. How can I change my Editor 6.1 settings so that my XML documents will remember the association? It is currently looking for the DTD in the same root directory in which the XML document is housed, however I keep my DTD in the custom/doctypes folder in the PTC directory in Program Files. I have checked my file location preferences and the correct file path to the DTD is listed there. In a desperate attempt, I opened my XML document in notepad and manually entered the file path for the DTD, but I do not want to have to do this for ~2000 files. Any ideas how to make the DTD

Fellow Forum Members,I downloaded from the S1000D official specification website a S1000D Bike data set for Issue 4.1 zip file.  Here is the download link:  Pages - S1000DDownloads  I hope someone familiar with the PTC Arbortext CSDB S1000D suite of tools can help me with installing this XML files pertaining to a fictional product (bicycle)  into the PTC CSDB so that I may correctly output a PDF of this technical manual from the PTC Publisher Module. The stylesheets for this fictional bicycle are coded in XSL-FO and this seems to be posing a serious problem. Both the PTC CSDB and the Publisher module don't seem to be compatible with XSL-FO stylesheets. .  What do I need to do to make these XSL-FO stylesheets work?Lastly, through my testing is these XSL-FO stylesheets I learned they work nicely within Arbortext Editor.  However, this does not help me because Arbortext Editor does not enable one to build a manual like one is able to using the PTC Publisher m

Hello Everyone,We are working with Arbortext Styler 5.4 M070 and S1000D 4.0 and 4.1 specifications.  We have two issues.The first being that of paragraph numbering.If the paras are nest more than 3 levels, the para numbering ends up looking something like this1.1.11.1.1?.1.1.1No amount of coding corrects the issue.  We have tried everything we know to do.  so I am hoping someone out here has run into this issue and can help us figure this out.  It makes it very difficult for our authors to keep track of the paragraph numbering when it will not display correctly.The second issue we have is with footnotes in tables number continously from one table to the next instead of restarting in the next table. When I opened the stylesheet for S1000D Schema, and found the element footnote, It say that the information is not table related.  Styler help number 5126 says that in order for the renumbering to restart the footnot has to be in the context of a table.  Yet whe

Hello everyone.. experts and enthusiasts,Ok, so I'm creating a new menu and adding a new functionality in my Arbortext Editor, however, before I execute my tasks, some other stuff needs to be executed, specifically one other task, which belongs to another option provided in a different menu, what I'm trying to do is, to call that specific option since my acl script; does anybody knows if there is a way to achieve this? There's an available acl command to have access to the other feature? the reason why I'm not calling directly another script is because I don't have control of the other functionality, it was made by another team and I don't have direct access to their code or scripts.As always I appreciate so much your time and support.Paulette Zorrilla
