Good Morning, all -

I am trying to build a PDF output that will ultimately be very large (4000 + pages). Every time I build, the process hangs up at "Collecting TOC and Index Data". I have built an HTML5 output using the same content, with no issues, so none of the files seem to be corrupt. I don ...

Just wondering if you'd ever gotten a reply as to if this is possible. I have a similar question as the Accessibility consultant our company hired marked this as an issue since the user is then required to close the menu to see if the content is what he/she is looking for.

Any help would be so ...

Thanks so much, Dave - That's what I was afraid of!

I appreciate the feedback...now, off to adjust some formatting.

Hi All - We are now tasked with getting our output to meet accessibility requirements. One of these is to have table captions. I know that Flare does have a table caption feature. However, the way we have set up table titles (captions) has been to use a p.TableTitle tag. We use auto numbering within ...

Good Morning - I have a PDF output target for which I need PDF bookmarks of the List of Figures, List of Tables, TOC, and First page. The issue I'm having is that I do NOT want these to appear in the PDF table of contents. Is there a way to do this? I have searched all around but can't seem to find ...

Thanks, Dave! Worked like a charm. Love all the things I am learning from this forum.

Good afternoon -

I am trying to include a button that allows users to open up the Project's PDF output file in the HTML5 output.

I've used a javascript in the toolbar skin for a button:

function MAIN() {

window.open("Guide.pdf");
}

However, this doesn't seem to account for any relative ...

Good Morning - I've been reading about/testing how to create a post-build event command that will kick off a build of a second target, but I can't seem to get it to actually work.

What I am looking to do is to be able to build my PDF output target, and have it immediately then build my HTML5 target ...

Thanks so much for responding. I am so surprised there isn't an easier way to do this. Hopefully someone else has had this issue and found an easier work around.

Good Morning -

Is it possible to have the content of a left cell of a row repeat over pages when the content of the right cell spans over 2 pages? It seems like this should be a fairly easy setting, but I'm not sure how to make this work.

We have a table with the first column as Param, and the ...

Thanks, Dave! That's easy enough; it's been a long week - my brain didn't even consider it. haha

Good Morning -

In 95% of our guides, the footer contains a Release Number. However, there are a few guides that do not. In my master template, I have the footer of the pages as

Guide Name, Release Number
Part Number, Revision Number

All are variables. Is there a way to remove the ", Release ...

Worked perfectly! Thank you again for your help.

Good morning - I'm using the most recent version of Flare, but have done conversions with the updates that were working fine. This has happened in three projects now. I've created new projects based on a template each time, though, so maybe the master template's Analyzer folder has something to do ...

Hi All - I am stumped...I've been converting our department's guides from Frame to Flare for a couple of months now, and everything was going smoothly, overall. Suddenly, when I import a document, the conditionalized text in FrameMaker is no longer imported in to Flare. It's not just the conditional ...

So sorry for the delayed reply. Thank you for your help with this! I really appreciate it. I had done all that you suggested already. The issue I had was that all of the x-refs that pointed to the imported Appendix were wrong. FrameMaker had created bookmarks based on the book files before ...

Good Morning -

I am new to the Global Project Linking functionality, and have come across an issue that just doesn't seem right. Is it possible to cross-reference an imported file from the project? Specifically, this is the scenario. Hopefully this is clear.

We have an Appendix A, Parameters ...

Thanks so much for the insight. that worked exactly as I was hoping.

Hi All - I've been spinning my wheels on this, and I can't figure out what I am missing. I have one section of topics that I need to import from another project. Is there a way to define a folder for them to be imported into? They are part of a bigger subset of documents that are all under the same ...

Thank you so much! I knew there had to be a way, and I was just missing something. I appreciate the help.

Hi All -

We are converting our entire documentation set from Frame to Flare. Is there a way to create an import file that contains all the style mappings that are standard in our FrameMaker Manuals to the ones we will be using in our Flare project and some how attach it to our Master Project, or ...

Recently, a customer requested an online, fully searchable repository of all of our company's product documentation. This request triggered the change from FrameMaker over to Flare. We were tasked with finding a hosting software or a customer portal/CMS solution for this project. Since then ...
