Hi all, Im trying to change the menu of Arbortext. I am able to see changes in the instance.acl with my dtd files, but can't get the menu to change upon startup (no file loaded). My acl is located in custom/init   function load_menu(){ menu_add -before .File.#15 "Publish PDF and Release Print License" -cmd { compose_pdf(); license_release("PrintPublishing");} } add_hook("menuloadhook", "load_menu");    I also have an environment variable APTCUSTOM created with a pointer to a mapped drive containing the same code. I also tried the simple_init.js to see if it was an issue with acl, but same result (nothing).   Application.alert("Hello from JavaScript");   

Hi, I want to ensure the print publishing (print composer) floating license is released after publishing to PDF. I have implemented using an instance.acl file to add a menu item called "release print license" using the command license_release(PrintPublishing)   menu_add -before .File.Publish.#7 "Release Print License" -cmd {license_release(PrintPublishing)}    But I am stuck on how I should go about bringing up the publish pdf dialog box, putting in all the arguments, THEN releasing the print composer license. Or perhaps, the release_license is triggered by the end of the build process.

We are using Isodraw 7.4.2.0.   When placing assemblies onto our predefined template in Isodraw, we usually have part the illustration hanging off the hatched area. Do you crop it, mask it, or leave it? If you leave it, how does it look in Editor and pdf output? We export to CGM and find anything hanging over the hatch area also shows up in editor and the pdf. We have changed the different vdc extent options when exporting but it does not change  the editor view or pdf unless we change the isoconvert vdc extent setting to 1 instead of 0.  

Hello team, I use .cgm files created in IsoDraw. These graphics contain vector elements and text.When I publish the file containing these .cgm graphics, they appear in raster format and the text becomes unsearchable.Are there any settings I need to change to fix this? Thanks and regardsPavan

Hi, ptc Community. I have an XML document in a CMS repository.Is there a way to set a prefix to the filename of the PDF pubblicated locally by ArborText via File->Publish->PDF?I have some document attributes, as language and version, that I would like to set automatically to be inserted in the name without changing it manually each time a PDF is published in that way. Thanks in advance.

Hi All, I'd want to seek for assistance if anyone knows why when I drag and drop the sgm file into arbortext, xml codes appear instead of text/tags. This is a Ukrainian language.

In an XML data module opened in Arbortext Editor, when scroll down to a graphic part, it triggers an error “Can not find or start IsoView Server. Error -1”. Does anyone know why? When I changed the view to Creo, the graphic shows up, but Arbortext Editor won’t recognize any hotspots from the graphic, thus I don’t want to use Creo View.

 Thanks for looking.  🙂 I have a laptop running a fresh install of Arbortext 8.2.2.1.  As in, freshly installed this morning.  I also have a desktop running Arbortext 8.1.2.0. The new install of 8.2.2.1 will not render .eps files.  It will render SVG files, but not .eps. View Graphics is checked. Arbortext 8.2.2.1 does not report the graphics as missing if I do a completeness check. If I double-click an eps file icon in Arbortext, it opens the .eps file in Adobe Illustrator.    I copied the file set with .eps art over to my desktop, running 8.1.2.0,  which renders the .eps files just fine.  I tried a couple of other file sets using .eps art with 8.2.2.1, and it does not render .eps files from any of those publications.  Is 8.2.2.1 specifically broken?  Or am I missing a setting somewhere? Thanks in advance,  Dan

Hi, Next to the PDF export from Arbortext Styler we want to export HTML manuals.We succeeded to publish HTML manuals. Per manual a folder structure with some CSS files, graphics and a lot of HTML files (one HTML file per topic created in Arbortext). Also the navigation tree at the left side of each HTML page is working fine. Linking from one HTML page to another is also working fine.But, we are missing a search feature that search in all HTML files of the manual. How do we best implement such a search feature? Kind regards,Johan Van DyckeDocumentation Barco

Hi, I am having the exact same issue going from Editor v7 on one computer, to 8.2 on another computer. It gave me error A15014 and couldnt  blah blah blah "-//arbortext//DTD XSL fo-result//EN" "xsl-fo.dtd". I checked the file structures and they look the same. So I am at a loss at what to do. So I updated arbortext  (via tools>preference>catalog path) to the xsl-fo folder (referenced in the catalog file in Arbortext Editor 8.2/doctypes) Now I am getting error A15000 Unable to load document type due to errors parsing DTD"C:\program files\PTC\Arbortext Editor 8.2\doctypes\xsl-fo.dtd" Anyway, all this to say, I think the catalog file is pointing to the right xsl-fo.dtd but not sure why its not being picked up. Update 1I removed the direct path to the xsl-fo dtd file to resolve A15000.I also shuffled around the order of the paths for the catalog. There are 3 normal ones that come with the installation. I copied the file paths from the old computer to the

We have tables drafted in Excel 2016 that have line breaks within cells. When we paste these tables into Arbortext Editor (v8.1.1) the breaks are not retained. Is it possible to preserve line breaks when pasting a table from Excel? Thanks in advance.
