Re: Insert PDF file in Arbortext map

$

So what you are saying is you would like to insert all pages of an external PDF to form the chapter of your publication? I think by default the closest you can get to that is to place one page from a PDF as an image. With some fiddling you could create a customisation to loop through all pages of the PDF and place them but that is not "out of the box".

 

I like this idea though, and it would certainly be useful in many scenarios. You could promote this as a "product enhancement" through PTC Support?

At the XML level, the ways of reusing data are either via "entities" or "Xinclude". Data reuse can also occur at the screen or print level (FOSI or APP stylesheets). Arbortext also supports special DITA features such as "conref" which allows you to reuse content. So there are many different strategies, and it depends on your publishing environment as to which one works best.

CMSSessionPutFile & CMSSessionPostPutFile events

$

Hi all,

 

I'd like to get the local path of a file (a graphic entity) added to the CMS. The Java technical documentation states that CMSSessionPutFile / CMSSessionPostPutFile events are here for that. According to the code above, these events are properly raised but the localPath variable is always empty :

 

Application.addEventListener("CMSSessionPutFile", new EventListener() {


  @Override

  public void handleEvent(Event evt) {

    Application.print("CMSSessionPutFile\n");

 

    CMSSessionFileEvent event = (CMSSessionFileEvent) evt;

    EventTarget currentTarget = event.getCurrentTarget();

    EventTarget target = event.getTarget();

    short errorCode = event.getErrorCode();

    String errorMessage = event.getErrorMessage();

    String folderLogicalId = event.getFolderLogicalId();

    String localPath = event.getLocalPath();

    String logicalId = event.getLogicalId();

    String notation = event.getNotation();

    String objectName = event.getObjectName();

    String result = event.getResult();

 

    Application.print(errorCode + "_" + errorMessage + "_" + folderLogicalId + "_" + localPath + "_" + logicalId + "_" + notation + "_" + objectName + "_" + result + "\n");

  }

 

}, true);


Application.addEventListener("CMSSessionPostPutFile", new EventListener() {

 

  @Override

  public void handleEvent(Event evt) {

    Application.print("CMSSessionPostPutFile\n");

 

    CMSSessionFileEvent event = (CMSSessionFileEvent) evt;

    EventTarget currentTarget = event.getCurrentTarget();

    EventTarget target = event.getTarget();

    short errorCode = event.getErrorCode();

    String errorMessage = event.getErrorMessage();

    String folderLogicalId = event.getFolderLogicalId();

    String localPath = event.getLocalPath();

    String logicalId = event.getLogicalId();

    String notation = event.getNotation();

    String objectName = event.getObjectName();

    String result = event.getResult();

 

    Application.print(errorCode + "_" + errorMessage + "_" + folderLogicalId + "_" + localPath + "_" + logicalId + "_" + notation + "_" + objectName + "_" + result + "\n");

  }

 

}, true);

 

You'll find attached all variable values for both events.

My question is: how is the localPath variable completed?

 

Thanks for your time.

Re: Table Input Throughout A Document

Hi Suzanne,

 

I think that's along the lines of what we are looking for...

 

We're trying to setup the document where once we enter data into the first table, the rest of the tables in the document inherit that same data. So essentially, when we enter data into the first table, all of the other tables have that same data entered at the same time. That way, we only have to enter the data once and all the other tables will automatically update.

 

Thank you for helping us out, we really appreciate it!

Hi Gareth,

 

The stylesheet we use is the FOSI and I think I've seen "conref" as a possible feature for us to use. I'll have to look into the "entities" and "Xinclude" to see if/how those can be used on our end.

 

Thank you for helping us out, we really appreciate it!

Thanks Gareth,

 

i have read profiling feature and i don't find topic about "language". Just about profil.

How can i control publishing by testing the xml:lang attribute value?

Hi Tag,

 

It is not clear what you mean by "inherit the same data."

 

Do you want the entire table to be output elsewhere? If so, assuming the table to repeated can be identified, what will specify where the repeated table should be output?

 

Or do you want the contents of particular table cells to be output in another table? If so, how will such cells be identified, and what will indicate where they should be output?

As of 4/08/2016 the Debug Messages window appears when (1) inserting new illustrations and (2) refreshing my document.

Have you reviewed Arbortext Styler's translation features for gentext material? See Arbortext Editor's Help Center topic "Generated Text Overview", "Maintaining Translations of Generated Text" and "Managing Translation Units"?

Did you get your licensing issue resolved?

If not, perhaps you should open a case with PTC's Technical Support Group.

Please let us know how you resolved this issue.

Thanks John,

 

It seems as if I have M040 installed already. Here are the versions on my computer:

Version 7.0.F000

Build number R70F000-1188

Technical Information Application 6.1 M040 (Build R70F000-1122)

 

do you or some other user know if there is a Major, patch, or Maintenance release available?

 

Thank you, Mike

The profiling feature allows you to filter published content according to a specified "profile". So for example you can identify attributes and values that are to be used for filtering. For languages, this could work that you set a profiling value of "en", and all elements with xml:lang not "en" will be removed before publishing. This approach would allow you to produce an single-language PDF from content that is authored in multiple language variants.

Hi  Gareth,

 

Profiling feature work well with all attributes (like 'importance' or 'audience') but with xml:lang... not :-(

Perhaps this is one for PTC Support then, as profiling is the feature you have to use to configure your document content for publishing. I'd be interested to learn why xml:lang in particular is disallowed for profiling.

Re: Debug Message window

Thanks to Brent Kelly for resolving this case. The reason:

The issue is caused by your FOSI. The problem is that:

 

• Arbortext's FOSI implementation does not allow for time-dependent variables that are modified in the pagedesc to be modified during flowtext processing.

• The FOSI engine warns users about illegal use of time-dependent variables".

 

Unfortunately the document is not written by one person (me) who is familiar with DTDs and FOSIs. I will have to repair the XML tags in the document before this Debug Message disappears.

Importing word into structured text and html.

I have several word documents with the typical content (text, tables, figures). My goal would be to automagically convert these word documents into structured text, which could then be formatted into html. How can i import a word document into arbortext (do i need a separate import/export tool or something like that)? I have a trial license and i only see the arbortext editors in my start menu, no import tool.

How to change keydef name in a keydef list?

$

0

I am trying to make changes to the keydef list. Specifically, I am trying to change the name of an existing keydef. When I make the change in the navtitle I can check the file back into Windchill. When I try to make a change to the href or the topicmeta conref I get an error when I try to check in the file.keydef_rename_error.jpg

 

Note: I had to rename the folder and the object in Windchill. So I need the keydef to recognize that both have changed, not just the object name.

 

Thanks
