Sorry David,I just passed on what I was told by Arbortext tech support. I had a case about a PDF problem and they wanted me to try PDF Direct instead of Acrobat. When I couldn't make it work, the tech delved into what I had licensed. He told me that PDF Direct was only built into Styler and I would need to buy a Styler license (or a PE server) to use it.I thought I was passing a fact, but now it sounds like something changed since the PDF case was worked (by the way, my case was caused by some missing registry entries for Acrobat).I guarantee that if I remove acrobat distiller that the Compose-->PDF selection will be greyed out even though I have a print composer license installed. On June 12th 2014, the company issued a new laptop for me, but didn't transfer the Acrobat software from the old one and I couldn't composer PDFs. It may be because I use version 5.3m040, but the Arbortext tech didn't mention versions as a factor; just whether there was a Styler (or server) license or not

Webtop is migrated from 6.7 sp1 to webtop 6.7 sp2.Arbortext version used is 6.0 M020 in both.In webtop 6.7 sp1,opened a xml document in Arbortext Editor.Connected to Documentum via AE and could insert components.Whereas in 6.7 sp2,even after connecting to Documentum through AE,while hitting enter to insert a component,it is asking for the documentum connection again.Why it is asking for the connection again,when it is already connected.What is the solution to this behaviour?

Hello,There seems to be a problem with the document map window when inserting an element using the Quicktag menu.Using just the sample 28001C.sgm document from the Arbortext distribution with the following snippet of structure:<para0><title>Definition of terms</title><subpara1 id="attname.def"><title>Attribute name</title><para>Thename of an attribute as assigned in the attribute definition listdeclaration of a DTD.</para></subpara1><subpara1 id="border.def"><title>Border</title><para>Graphic thatappears along page boundaries. </para></subpara1><subpara1 id="charfill.def"><title>Character fill</title><para>Therepeated use of a character (possibly the space character), or stringof characters, to occupy space within running text, for example, leaderdots.</para></subpara1></para0> In the Docmap, if I right click after the last </subpara1> before </pa

I ask because this configuration is not officially supported by PTC. Just wondering if anyone has done it and if you had any trouble since that is the configuration we are wanting to run this year before we transition to 6.1 next year.

Hello,I'm new to PTC, though I've worked as a content management professional on similar platforms. For a customer requirement I need to activate a feature on Arbortext editor.Here is my question:How can I upload Arbortext outputs that are authored from an ootb dita template as "Dynamic Document" to windchill server? I need this functions for reusable/ referable manners of Arbortext Editor. Can you show me the simpliest/ basic way to activate this feature?I use Arbortext 6.1 M20 and Winchill 10.2 M20.Thanks,Andaç

I have an XSLT script which will convert our XML into a PE ready version. It converts into a ​, which has, in the past/for years, allowed the composition to honor that to be the preferred word breaking point. At some point this stopped working, however, but I'm not sure when.Is this the preferred method to get discretionary hyphens to output using PE?<xsl:template match="processing-instruction('Pub')[.='_hyphen-point']"> <xsl:text>​</xsl:text></xsl:template>Kristian Van TassellLMD ToolsSiemens Industry SectorSiemens Product Lifecycle Management Software Inc.5939 Rice Creek ParkwayShoreview, MN 55126 United StatesTel. :+1 (651) 855-6194Fax :+1 (651) 855-6280- <-%20>www.siemens.com/plm

Thanks, Ed. We are using the FOSI. I've attached the code for the chapter. This is the code that is working fine in 5.4 but not in 6.1.

After I drag the CP folder into the Arbortext Editor application folder, I see the "Change" Menu as well as Change Page Help menus in Arbortext. However when I go to "create basic document" in the Change menu I receive an error message. Do I need to run a license manager? Do I drag some license info somewhere?

Did anyone have an issue with PDF Bookmarks being truncated? It seems to max out around 63 characters or so. (FOSI, AE version 5.4)

HEADS UP! Mail Headers have been changed! I do not think they are back tothe way they were before (but I could be wrong). I replied to Caroline'semail yesterday, but did not pay attention to the headers and accidentallysent the reply JUST to her.Now the default reply-to is the sender, not the list. Frankly, I prefer thereply-to, on mailing lists, to be to the list, although I do like to beable to discern and reply-to the original sender only/instead becausesometimes should just be off-list. By defaulting to reply-to originalsender, we are going to see a lot of helpful information not shared withthe group until we all remember to change the reply-to to be to or at leastinclude the list.So, if you get a reply off-list that would benefit the group (immediatelyor in the future), take the time to reply-to the entire list (unless youthink maybe the sender intended it to be private) sharing helpfulinformation.On the other hand, we are less likely to see the accidental note to thelist that a r

We are currently using Editor 5.4 M170 and are testing Editor 6.1 M010. We're seeing problems with vertical alignment in nearly all footers of our document DTD/FOSIs. Does anyone know of any setting or option in 6.1 that might be causing this? Or better yet, a method of fixing it that would be better than having to tinker with every page layout. Any help would be much appreciated. Below are screen shots from 5.4 and 6.1 of the same document's Recto/Verso footers.

I am trying to add a notation to the CSDB and for some reason once I go through the Entity Options in the CSDB and try to add it, that notation is not showing up. I dont know what I am doing wrong but I really need some help with this if anyone can help out. I am trying to add PNG to the list so we can add those entities to our data modules.Thanks,Jamie Starling

Hi,I've got a customization in one environment that manages bookmarksautomatically. I've cloned this environment serially several times withoutincident. Now, I'm having a problem in the latest clone that I'm thoroughlystumped by. Hopefully in the morning all will be clear to me, however, ifI'm still in a fog, I'm hoping someone has stumbled across this before andcan wake me up.In my slightly older environment that works, I can issue this command withthe cursor in a title:insert_tag "_bookmark"And is inserted. This is the behavior I expect and havebeen getting for oh so long.In my new environment, no processing instruction is inserted and the errorin my subject line is displayed.Anyone see the obvious? I don't.P.S. I used <title> just as an example. The _bookmark won't insertanywhere. For what it's worth, both my last (working) and current (notworking) environment are in 6.0 m090.-- Paul Nagai

Hello Community,I am working on a new revision of a document that has change mark up tags. How do I remove them globally instead of one at a time?

How everybody!There's a way to test whether a page is odd or even? I need to do different actions depending of the page's type.

Hello,I have a three column table built using Arbortext Table Model for it to be displayed to the user in a new window using ACL.I'm assuming the Arbortext Table Model is still supported with recent versions of AE ?ThanksAndy

We use WordML documents extensively here in our office and our running into some issues copy-pasting into the new AT 6.1 version.When copy-pasting bold/italic text (WordML), we get this error window complaining that it goes against our schema and its an "Invalid Paste Structure":This wasn't an issue when we were on the older 5.3 a week earlier. Is there a preference I can change to where this window won't pop up?

Hi developers,When I am coding <xrerf> for a different topic title, by default topic name is adding instead of target element content in arbortext editor. How I can replace that with target element content?Thanks & regardsRoopesh Navath

I am bumping up against an error from Arbortext 5.4 M100 "[A12177] Out of virtual memory space", recommending I increase my paging file size, and abruptly closing when I try to open a particularly large document (this is a document made of chapter file entities, which are themselves a chapter tag and several file entities). The doc is about 10Mb (flattened), and my PC has 4Gb RAMIf I reduce the number of chapter file entities by half in the main document, and then add them back in manually, this works, but then throws the same error when trying to compose.I have my windows 7 paging file settings at initially 4Gb, max of 8GB. I have an APTJAVAVMARGS=1024Mb and set javavmmemory=1024.I am running out of ideas of how to even troubleshoot this, and I really need to try and compose the whole document for hyperlink preservations.Thanks!Jason A.

I suppose it's some sort of privacy thing, but the Adepters posts used to always include the individual email address of the sender. Now they don't. I didn't notice when this stopped, so it may have happened quite some time ago.It any case, it would be useful if the Adepters posts would go back to displaying this data. I understand that if lawyers have gotten involved in this, that any change of this nature would most likely be prohibited, if not take thousands of years.On the off chance that maybe it's a setting I could change, does anyone know anything about this?

I'm just doing a little macro to create a layer, add items to it, then move it down below the standard layer so that standard layer items appear on top of the new layer items.I know I can select the layer manually in the layer window and move it up and down, but I can't see a way to do the same thing within a macro, so my new layer stays at the top - have I missed something or is this another thing you can't do with macros?

Another problem we're encountering is an error message in regards to our dates. Whenever we open our document or change attributes with it, we see the following error message: I've entered our dates in several different ways (05202014, 20140520, etc.) but it keeps generating this message. Additionally, if I enter the date with slashes or hyphens (05/20/2014, 05-20-2014) it says that it is an invalid format and will not fill in the required attribute field at all. If anyone has seen or solved this problem please let me know. Thanks!

I'm currently running into issues installing a floating-license for Styler 6.1Our goal is to put this floating-license on a server. I'm having difficulty following the instructions here though to request one: https://www.ptc.com/appserver/cs/view/solution.jsp?n=CS34725&source=portalrecommended.On the request license page, which values do I need to put in for PTC Host Id and Host Name? Do I need to put the server address or Host ID for the field "PTC HOST ID"? Then what do I need for Host Name?Also, is there any software I need to install on the VM to get the licensing to work? I know the older 5.4 had Arbortext Licensing Administrator.
