Enterprise authoring and publishing
The content that an organization creates comprises its intellectual property or knowledge base. Enterprise authoring and publishing refers to the organizations processes and tools for creating and managing the content that supports its business activities, such as these: The marketing staff needs easy access to product specications, plans, and reports for existing and older products, so it can consider this information when making decisions about new products The business development staff needs to be able to reuse proposal content The human resources staff needs to reuse policy content when creating a new policy document Key people need fast access to timely, appropriate information to support fast, effective business decision-making The enterprise needs to share internal content across geographically dispersed entities, using different computer hardware, operating systems, and application software Many organizations see creating, managing, and delivering internal information as an administrative task. Each document is created and managed in isolation. Companies that want to maximize the value of the intellectual property locked within those documents, and create a knowledge base from their content, have discovered that by proactively managing their internal content they can dramatically improve its value in supporting the business goals of the organization. In addition, this information needs to be shared with customers and suppliers. Customers, for example, need access to product information so that they can make better, more informed purchasing decisions.
Business challenges in vertical markets
The following sections discuss specic problems in authoring, managing, and publishing information in six key vertical industry markets: Aerospace Automotive/Transportation Government High Tech Manufacturing Financial Each of these vertical markets faces particularly interesting challenges. Together, they represent a broad cross-section of enterprise publishing activities.

Aerospace

Information management and delivery plays a critical supporting role in the aerospace industry. Few industries have products as complex, strict safety and regulatory requirements , and low error tolerance. The extremely long product development cycles and lifespans require correspondingly long documentation cycles. For example, the Boeing 747, still one of the most popular commercial aircraft, was introduced in 1970. The aerospace industry shares many basic information management requirements with manufacturing and any industry with volumes of information to manage. For example, an individual aircrafts ight operation manual is customized for the airline buying the plane, but consists largely of material common to all ight operations manuals for that particular aircraft model and even for that manufacturer. The aerospace industry also has extremely rigorous information management requirements. Because the content supports mission-critical, high-stakes operationsfor example, the manufacture, maintenance, and repair of commercial aircraftit must be thoroughly reviewed for accuracy and all changes must be approved and veried. The industry must securely maintain its document sources, and publish content to customers in nonmodiable formats. In summary, the business challenges facing aerospace include: Integrating information from a diverse array of sources to support manufacturing, operation, and maintenance Managing and printing large amounts of information Maintaining information over very long product lifespans (30 or more years) Distributing new and updated information quickly to meet safety and regulatory requirements

In Section 2, Identifying the Business Challenges, we described (1) the challenges that organizations face in creating, managing, and delivering information; and (2) the benets of properly managing information to improve decision-making, increase customer satisfaction, decrease time to market, and reduce costs. Eight key business activities drive the process: Take advantage of all possible avenues for minimizing costs Reduce the cycle time for delivery of new and updated information to customers and to the eld Decrease the time to market for content while maximizing quality and accuracy Provide on-demand information to those who need it Provide customized or personalized information where appropriate Provide consistent information, regardless of its source Provide a competitive advantage Meet regulatory and accessibility requirements at minimum cost Section 3 suggests high-level, vendor-neutral solutions for re-architecting information infrastructures so businesses can create, manage, and deliver content efciently and effectively. We start by providing a series of questions to examine the current infrastructure and to discuss the building blocks of any information management solution. We then review the solution components of four key usage areas: XML authoring and publishing, server-based publishing, technical documentation, and enterprise authoring and publishing. Finally we apply those usage areas to six vertical markets that represent a broad cross section of enterprise publishing activities: aerospace, automotive/transportation, government, high technology, manufacturing, and nancial services.
Assessing the current infrastructure
An organization can assess the effectiveness of its current information publishing infrastructure by answering some of the following questions: Do content authors have an intuitive, easy-to-use tool for creating valid XML content? Can the organization publish XML content to print, Portable Document Format (PDF), or other formats? Can this be done from the desktop, or does it require complex, expensive add-ons? Can the organization implement server-based solutions to automatically compile, render, and deliver content from XML content repositories, databases, application servers, and Web services? Can the organization establish and maintain a consistent look and feel across all of its documentation? Can the organization create and deliver personalized or customized content to its customers? Can the organization deliver content that is fully accessible to everyone, including people with visual or motion impairments? Can the organization easily create new information products from its existing serverbased information? Can the organization maintain consistency in the information that it creates and delivers?

Manufacturers process and manage information from many sources, including suppliers of raw materials, components, and equipment. They generate content internally for process control and business planning. They create outward-facing sales materials, product documentation, and product maintenance information. Much of the information manufacturers receive is still in paper form, and must be rekeyed to create internal and customer documentationan error-prone, time-consuming, and costly process. In addition, paper-based data does not ow through the manufacturing process as components do. Manufacturers need information to ow in and to be repurposed easily for internal or external documentation needs. Solution components An information publishing solution with these major components can meet these business requirements:
Authoring toolThe tool must support content aggregation from a variety of source applications, and the creation of long, complex documents with large amounts of graphical and tabular content. It should be template-based, to enforce consistency in a manufacturers internal and external documentation, to free content authors from formatting tasks, and to support the need for rebranding content contributed by component suppliers. The tool also should support creation of rich XML content across the manufacturing organization, without the need for additional software tools or training. Server-based publishingThe architecture should support publishing parts catalogs and other dataintensive materials directly from a content management system or database repository, which can yield signicant economic and resource benets. Multichannel deliveryBuilt-in multichannel publishing can free manufacturers from the expense and lead-time constraints of paper publishing. Manufacturing organizations that have migrated hard-copy catalogs to Web or CD-ROM distribution have realized signicant benets in cost, resource requirements, and time-to-market for the catalog information. Content managementMany manufacturers need to manage large amounts of content used for diverse purposes and created by a wide variety of applications, and to support change control, reuse, and repurposing of information.

Financial services

Financial services companies distribute large numbers of documents, each containing a high density of raw nancial data that is extremely important for supporting nancial-based decisions. Consumers of this information are often key decision-makers who need time-critical support for determining actions and strategies. For example, the nancial publishing industry directly supports homeowners in choosing a mortgage, investors in choosing stocks, and corporate CEOs in managing their organizations. Solution requirements Financial services organizations have particularly strong requirements for publishing customized and personalized on-demand content in formats that their customers expect. Furthermore, documents published by the nancial services industry frequently must meet legal requirements. This sector requires an infrastructure that supports the creation of accurate, legally valid documents in a predictable and timely manner. Finally, the nancial services industry is experiencing a growing demand for personalized documents. Financial services institutions that can quickly create customized nancial reports and other personalized knowledge products have a competitive advantage over other nancial services institutions. Solution components The optimal information publishing solution for the nancial services sector consists of the following major components: Server-based publishingMuch nancial information is generated, stored, and maintained within application servers or databases. A server-based publishing solution is necessary to publish this information in an automated fashion.

Single-source authoring, multichannel publishing
Even more valuable, however, is the separation of the formatting and layout decisions from the source content. A group of templates tailored to specic output media can be used with exactly the same content. This therefore enables single-source, multichannel publishinga single content source can be rendered into a printed book, an eBook, HTML, and XML, for example, just by applying a template that automatically implements the appropriate styles and technologies for each output format. FrameMaker template-based authoring, a fundamental architectural building block for single-source authoring, is matched by complementary publishing features to enable multichannel publishing: A full range of sophisticated layout and styling options for print and PDF production that can be easily managed and applied via templates Full support of the key PDF features, including automatic bookmark production and automatic hyperlinking of tables of contents, cross-references, and indices (even for multichapter or multile books) Support for tagged PDF, which can make PDF documents accessible to visually impaired users and viewable on handheld devices Powerful HTML publishing capabilities provided by the included WebWorks Standard Edition 7.0 software Publishing capability to PDF eBook format, or to Palm Reader or Microsoft Reader format via WebWorks Standard Edition 7.0
Full support for valid XML authoring and publishing, enabling integration with XML-based applications and publishing to multiple formats via Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) Support for scalable vector graphics (SVG), allowing output of SVG source les to print and PDF, and enabling integration of high-quality vector-based graphics for Web output Anchored graphics and tables that reow graphic content as new templates are applied Conditional text featuremanage multiple document variants in a single le so that users can pick and choose text, graphics, or tables for selected media
Rich feature set (FrameMaker document object model)
Besides text and graphic objects, FrameMaker documents contain elements such as cross-references, tables, markers, and others, while templates contain style and format information, and In addition, many document preferences relate to printing, PDF production, conditional text settings, and user interface appearance settings. The document object model is key to providing users with the rich set of features that FrameMaker supports: Application information Global document information Pages XML elements and attributes Graphic objects Text columns, frames, and ows Paragraphs and paragraph formats Character ranges and character formats Cross-references Running headers and footers Tables Markers Variables Each object on a FrameMaker page can be created, modied, or deleted through the FrameMaker API. This is particularly powerful when integrating FrameMaker with other infrastructure applications such as databases or content management systems. For example, a systems integrator or third-party solution provider can write a FrameMaker API client to automatically extract database content, create appropriate document objects for each item, and publish the result.

Frame Developers Kit (FDK)
The Frame Developers Kit (FDK) (available from www.adobe.com) provides tools for developers to enhance the functionality of FrameMaker products. The principal components of the FDK include the FrameMaker Application Program Interface (API), Frame Development Environment (FDE), and the Structured API. FrameMaker API The FrameMaker API completely exposes FrameMaker softwares functionality and document model, and provides a mechanism for automating FrameMaker and integrating it with other applications. It supports creation of C-language programs, called FDK clients, that can take control of a FrameMaker product session and communicate interactively with the user. With the API, a client can do anything an interactive user can do, and more. The API gives a client direct access to the text and graphic objects in documents. It includes a set of header les, libraries, and makeles for each supported platform. These and other types of clients can be created with the FrameMaker API: Automated publishing from databases and application servers Content management utilities Filters to exchange les between FrameMaker products and other desktop publishing applications Grammar checkers Bibliography utilities Voice-control utilities Document-reporting utilities Version-control systems for documents Table utilities, such as sorting and totaling Frame Development Environment (FDE) The Frame Development Environment (FDE) helps programmers to write clients that are portable to all platforms supported by FrameMaker products. The FDE includes header les and libraries for each supported platform, and provides platform-independent alternatives to I/O, string, and memory allocation schemes. It also provides a variety of utility functions, such as MIF writing functions. Developers always should use the FDE when developing multiplatform FrameMaker API clients. Structured API The FrameMaker Structured API provides control over the import and export of XML and SGML documents to and from FrameMaker in Structured mode. With the Structured API, FrameMaker clients
Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 Solutions Guide 4-7
can parse XML and SGML documents and associate XML and SGML elements with the FrameMaker applications document objects for automatic rendering and publishing. Developers should build database publishing applications with the Structured API when the database or other contentgenerating application presents content as XML and SGML mark-up.
Integration of FrameMaker via Document Object Model and FDK

Accessible documents

FrameMaker users easily can create documents accessible in many ways to visually impaired people. Through the FrameMaker template-based single-source multichannel publishing support, largeprint editions and a tagged PDF that can be reowed for a variety of reading devices can be output. Conditional tags can be used, for example, to swap a low-contrast image in a document for a highcontrast image in large-print versions of the document, or even to replace the image altogether with a text description for visually impaired users. Authors can provide alternative text tags for graphics output to PDF and the Web. Documents can be output as raw text for input to accessibility tools that require ASCII text les.

The FrameMaker platform provides a powerful business architecture for enterprise authoring and publishing. Just by deploying FrameMaker 7.0, an organization can dramatically improve its capabilities for creating, managing, and delivering the internal content that drives any business. Content creation Because FrameMaker software is template-driven, content authors can create consistently structured documents without worrying about formatting details. FrameMaker also can also incorporate content from a variety of sources, including Microsoft Word and many popular graphics formats. If XML content is required, authors can use FrameMaker in Structured mode. Workows can be exible and metadata can be used to identify content for reuse throughout the organization. FrameMaker softwares multiple-platform compatibility is especially important for enterprise deployment. It makes content creation easy across organizational and geographic boundaries, even when content comes from multiple sources and is published to multiple formats. Content management Especially for large volumes of content, version-control issues, source management, document management, and security are critical. Automated workow can also provide additional efciencies in larger organizations. Content management issues in the enterprise are similar to those in technical documentation (see page 4-17). Content publishing and distribution Using FrameMaker, an organization can publish in the most appropriate format for any user or scenario. FrameMaker can create print, PDF, XML, HTML, SGML, and online help documents. Generating richly formatted printed or PDF documents from XML is not a trivial task. Many popular XML editors provide no capability for generating PDF or print documents, or require additional expense. FrameMaker and FrameMaker Server provide an XML authoring environment combined with a professional print rendering engine. FrameMaker can format XML documents based on the XML structure via the FrameMaker EDD, while and render it XML document through the FrameMaker API. FrameMaker 7.0 for Windows and Macintosh includes Acrobat Distiller 5.0, which generates PDF 1.4 and distills documents from within FrameMaker. PDF generation is supported on the Solaris, HP, and
AIX platforms. PDF les can be tagged, facilitating high-quality viewing on next-generation PDF applications as well as improved accessibility to visually impaired readers.
Information from a variety of sources flow into FrameMaker template
FrameMaker document objects cross-references, variables, book management, XML metadata
Corporate knowledge management, multichannel publishing
Enterprise content management
FrameMaker as an enterprise tool for content creation, management, and delivery Vertical market focus: Manufacturing Manufacturing has particularly pervasive needs for information management and reuse. Using FrameMaker 7.0 software, documentation that accompanies supplier-provided raw materials and components can be quickly integrated into the manufacturing organizations publishing template, distributed internally in a variety of formats, and reused in outside-facing materials for sales and marketing, technical support, and documentation for customerswithout manually formatting any information. The entire transformation can be accomplished by applying document templates with unique formatting rules. Further efciencies are possible. If suppliers, manufacturers, and buyers agree upon a standard set of tag names in their FrameMaker templates, each with formatting characteristics unique to the individual organization, documents can be converted to different page layouts simply by using the organizations own template. FrameMaker softwares XML capabilities enable manufacturers to provide documentation that conforms to an XML DTD that could be repurposed as needed for internal and external documentation. This information could be controlled by the supply-chain management system, so that a product always would be accompanied by product information in XML, and both product and information would be managed and tracked throughout the manufacturing process.

Migration tasks

Migration to FrameMaker typically is motivated by business drivers outlined in Section 2 of this Guide. Their severity and urgency determine the scope of the migration. To execute any migration strategy, the organization must work through ve sequential steps: evaluate needs, specify requirements, design and implement architecture, migrate legacy content, and train and deploy users.

Evaluate needs

Understand the workgroup or enterprises need to migrate. Consider the forces driving the migration. Assess how the current tools capabilities meet and fail to meet current and future requirements. Evaluate whether any requirements should be changed.

Specify requirements

These are set at the busines level. Return on investment is the key motivator in this step. Specify the baseline functionality, performance, and stability requirements. In an enterprisewide deployment, consider the different requirements of individual users, workgroups, and the enterprise as a whole. Requirement considerations typically include toolset, workow, delivery mode, content management, application integration, competitive strategies, production efciencies, quality control, and regulatory and compliance issues. An example business driver might be: deliver high-quality, personalized content to customers on demand. The potential solution: A server-based publishing system, with FrameMaker 7.0 Server as the on-demand rendering engine for delivering PDF documents via HTTP over the Web.
Design and implement the architecture
Deploy FrameMaker, FrameMaker Server, databases, content management, and delivery. Include not only tool considerations, but also application integration, workow, and testing. Also include design of authoring templates, and selection or creation of DTD and EDD for XML publishing. This step generally comprises four stages: Architecture design Design the architecture to address high-level business requirements (see Section 4, The Adobe Solution for example architectures). Determine whether the information architecture will be templatebased (unstructured) or XML-based (structured). If template-based, the possibility of migrating to an XML-based solution in the future must still be open. Component design and selection Specication of the individual architecture components is driven by the organizations current IT infrastructure (the enterprise database), and the strategies chosen for addressing the business requirements. Component implementation Designing and implementing the individual components of the architecture includes these stages: Supporting integration of components (for example, creating Frame Developers Kit, or FDK clients to integrate FrameMaker with application servers for server-based publishing) Information modeling, including database schema and XML DTD design to support authoring and delivery requirements. With FrameMaker, the user or designer creates an XML application that associates templates, an XML DTD, read/write mapping rules, and optional processing plug-ins. Creating authoring and publishing templates. For an unstructured solution, this is valuable and necessary, so that a future migration to XML can leverage the templates designed now.

Creating FrameMaker conversion tables to convert legacy unstructured content to structured content.
Component deployment Scheduling component deployment, including time for testing and modication (see Migration strategies on page 5-3).
Migrate the legacy content
Legacy content can be one of the most important and resource-intensive factors in a migration process. The time required to convert a document depends on many factors, including the complexity of the document, its length, and the skill of the people performing the work. Inventorying legacy content A pre-migration content inventory examines the current information assets and helps the organization to make appropriate decisions about the migration strategy. How legacy content is treated depends on a number of factors, including these: Location of legacy contentWhere does the organizations content reside (that is, its location in the organizations le system, content management system, or database)? Format of legacy contentDoes the legacy content exist in its original application format? Is the original application still available and supported? Does FrameMaker recognize the original application format? If not, does the original application save in a more widely readable le format? Some legacy content may be available only in a presentation format that cannot be easily edited and updated. These formats include hard copy (paper), TIFF images, and older versions of PDF that do not support saving as other formats. In this case, the organization should consider the services of third-party companies that specialize in migrating legacy content to current application formats. Consistency of legacy contentIf the legacy content exists in the original application format, was a common set of templates and/or styles used to create the content? Is the content consistently styletagged? FrameMaker will generally recognize style tags in legacy application formats and convert those tags to FrameMaker paragraph and character styles. Condition of graphicsIf the legacy content includes graphics, are the original graphic les available? Is the original application that was used to create the graphics available? Many word-processing programs destroy the integrity of imported graphic images by modifying the graphic le format for the convenience of the word-processing program. When migrating legacy graphics, return to the original graphics le format, upgrade that format as necessary to a current format, and import the updated graphics into the FrameMaker documents by reference. This solution retains the integrity of the original graphics le, allows further updates to each graphic (if necessary), and minimizes the size of the FrameMaker source les for better application performance and robustness. Relevance of legacy contentIs the legacy content important for deployment of the new publishing solution? Will the new system focus primarily on delivering new content? If only a subset of the legacy content is required going forward, is it easy to identify that subset?

Post-conversion clean-up Virtually every conversion will require clean-up in FrameMaker. Repetitive tasks in FrameMaker can frequently be automated by a scripting language for FrameMaker called FrameScript, available from Finite Matters Ltd. (www.framescript.com). Post-conversion clean-up may be required in the following areas: Untagged or rogue tagged textWhere formatting is missing or was misapplied, FrameMaker styles can be applied in batch mode using the global update options in FrameMaker, or individually. GraphicsImported graphics can be reimported into FrameMaker. However, graphics drawn in Interleaf/Quicksilver can be problematic. One technique is to export the legacy graphic as an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) or PostScript (PS) le. Acrobat Distiller can turn EPS and PS les into Acrobat PDF les, which then can be edited by Adobe Illustrator software. Unlike bitmaps such as TIFF les, PDF les are vectors with smooth lines and text that can be edited easily. The Filtrix conversion lters from Blueberry also can be useful. TablesAd hoc use of ruling, shading and cell straddles (merging) can fool converters, which prefer regular patterns. Table Cleaner, a FrameScript from Carmen Publishing, removes custom ruling and shading and performs other useful functions. For more information, see www.frameexpert.com. Special symbols and equationsReinstate the symbol characters that had been replaced by special character sequences during legacy clean-up to avoid exporting isues. Many lter applications do not support equations. FrameMaker includes an equation editor for re-creating equations in documents.
Train users and deploy the solution
If hands-on training is desired, choose a training provider and appropriate training classes. Deploy templates and DTD/EDD to authors. Receive and incorporate feedback. Although an investment in training usually offers a rapid return on investment when increased productivity and improved business processes are considered, training can be a signicant line item in a migration budget. By intelligently planning the organizations needs and timetable, the benets of investing in training can be maximized. A scaled training deployment is effective for many organizations. Begin by selecting a group of key people who have proven their ability to quickly learn new tools and processes, and who can support others during the migration process. Train this group early in the migration process, with advancedlevel courses that will allow them to fully support the migration process. As the new publishing system is deployed, train more users, with courses appropriately targeted. For example, content authors who are not supporting template and DTD design functions do not need to be trained on those functions.

FrameMaker core capabilities
FrameMaker and FrameMaker Server 7.0 extend basic word-processing and page-layout desktop capabilities with richly structured authoring, collaboration, reuse, information management, and delivery features. The program tightly integrates structured authoring, book management, XML, PDF, WebDAV and a C-based API. This combination makes FrameMaker a solid platform for workgroups with the widest range of contributors (writers, editors, illustrators, engineers, business analysts, and others), content types (including Microsoft Word, Excel, XML, SGML, PDF), and information products(catalogs, manuals, newsletters, reference guides, training materials, marketing guides, standard operating procedures, and many more). FrameMaker software can be scaled to create one- or two-page documents, and is robust and reliable with documents comprising thousands of pages. The user interface is WYSIWYG and the basic features take only minutes to learn, yet FrameMaker software is rich enough to provide content creators with all the tools and controls they need. A single copy of FrameMaker includes a self-contained set of capabilities for single-source authoring and multichannel publishing. The product can be deployed on thousands of desktops, used in a collaborative environment, be customized via the Frame Developers Kit (FDK), and integrated into a complex infrastructure that includes desktop clients, servers, repositories and Web-based systems.

New FrameMaker features

For enterprises and workgroups alike, the new features of FrameMaker 7.0 and FrameMaker Server provide a robust and exible toolset for XML authoring and sophisticated multichannel publishing across many platforms and viewing devices.
XML authoring and publishing power
Create and edit valid XML with easeFrameMaker can open, edit, and save XML documents. Use FrameMaker to easily create an XML application that denes templates, namespaces, mapping rules, and character encodings. FrameMaker automatically picks the correct Document Type Denition (DTD), templates, and settings when opening and/or saving XML documents. Create structured content in an intuitive WYSIWYG interfaceThe FrameMaker interface includes context-sensitive guided editing using the Element Catalog and the Structure View window. Navigate the structure of documents and quickly identify valid elements in the Element Catalog. Find and correct validity errors interactively and in real time as they are displayed in the Structure View window. Change the authoring mode to t different needsThe power of structured authoring is standard in FrameMaker software. Switch between Structured and Unstructured modes through the Preferences dialog box at any time. Create valid XML that conforms to a chosen DTD with guided editing in Structured mode, or create well-formed XML in Unstructured mode. Dene the structure of XML contentImport the XML DTD into FrameMaker softwares Element Denition Document (EDD) to maintain and edit the structure rules in FrameMaker. Enhance the EDD with context-based formatting rules, as easy to create as FrameMaker templates. Dene read-write rules to automatically map XML elements to headings, lists, tables, graphics, footnotes, cross-references, and index markers.

Open, edit, and save XML les and DTDsFrameMaker softwares XML parser examines each XML document to verify that it is well-formed and to validate its structure and content against a chosen DTD. After authoring and tagging is complete, easily save valid XML les for future editing with FrameMaker or for further processing by other XML applications, such as Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT). Work with namespaces, CSS, and UnicodeUse namespaces to provide a label prex for XML element names when combining content from multiple sources. Automatically generate Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) style denitions for use with a broad variety of media. Take advantage of FrameMaker softwares ability to automatically map Unicode (UTF-8/UTF-16) characters in XML les to the appropriate characters for printing. Use industry-standard structured applicationsFrameMaker 7.0 ships with three sample applications for structured authoring: DocBook 4.1, xDocBook 4.1.2, and XHTML. DocBook 4.1 and xDocBook 4.1.2 conform fully to the industry-standard DocBook (SGML) and xDocBook (XML) DTDs for technical documentation. The XHTML sample application conforms to the DTD for the next generation of HTMLthe XHTML version 1.0 transition DTD, a redenition of HTML in XML syntax.
Maximum PDF publishing integration

Adobe FrameMaker Character Sets (Windows and UNIX). 4 FrameMaker 8 character sets. 4 Support for FrameMaker 7.x character sets. 5
Adobe FrameMaker Character Sets (Windows and UNIX)
This document describes support for the Unicode character sets in Adobe FrameMaker 7.x and Adobe FrameMaker 8.
FrameMaker 8 character sets
FrameMaker 8 supports the Unicode Character Set and uses the UTF-8 encoding to provide Unicode support. For information about Unicode character sets, see www.unicode.org. When working with a FrameMaker document on the Windows platform, you can insert characters in different languages by using the Input Method Editor (IME) of the relevant language. To insert a specific character you can use the Windows Character Map utility (Select Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map). On the UNIX platform, you can enter characters in different languages by using the Language bar displayed at the bottom of the FrameMaker document window. For more information about Unicode support in FrameMaker 8, see help.adobe.com/en_US/FrameMaker/8.0/help.html?content=Chap3-Unicode-Support_05.html. If a character glyph is not available for the selected font, FrameMaker displays a question mark (?) in its place. However, because FrameMaker preserves the original code point, the glyph is displayed when you apply the correct font. Important: To type characters in the Symbol or Dingbats font, select the desired font, and type the content. Because some special characters can no longer be represented by their character names in MIF 8 documents, you must enter the UTF-8 code points of such characters. For more information, see the FrameMaker MIF Reference Guide or the FDK Programmers Guide. FrameMaker uses code points below \x20 (referred to as control codes) for internal purpose. Control codes specify how the surrounding text is formatted.
Inserting the Euro Community currency symbol
You can insert the European Community currency (Euro) symbol in FrameMaker 8 documents using the relevant IME. To open a document across multiple versions of FrameMaker, or in other, non-Unicode applications, you can use one of the following font families: Adobe Euro Monospace, Adobe Euro Sans, Adobe Euro Serif, or a Unicode font. On Windows, the Adobe Type 1 Euro Sans, Adobe Euro Serif, and Adobe Euro Monospace font families are placed in a self-extracting executable file. To install these fonts, double-click the Eurofont.exe file located in the FrameMaker installation folder. Unzip the font files to a separate folder, and then install the unzipped fonts by opening the Control Panel and selecting > Fonts > File > Install New Fonts. On UNIX, the Adobe Type 1 Euro Sans, Adobe Euro Serif, and Adobe Euro Monospace font families are installed automatically when FrameMaker 8 is installed.

FrameMaker 7.x Windows character sets
Standard character set All keyboard shortcuts are supported in FrameMaker 8 Symbol and Dingbats character set Keyboard shortcuts with a Hex code below 127 are supported in FrameMaker 8. Keyboard shortcuts with a Hex code above 127 are not supported in FrameMaker 8.
Note: For more information, see Standard character set on page 7 and Symbol and Dingbats character set on page 14.
FrameMaker 7.x UNIX character sets
Note: For more information, see Standard character set on page 22 and Symbol and Dingbats character set on page 29.

Using key sequences

Many characters are generated by a key sequence. This key sequence often uses the Control, Esc, or Meta key. This document uses the following conventions for key sequences:

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 8 6

Example Control+q
Action Holding down Control while pressing the lowercase letter q
Control+q Shift+a Holding down Control while pressing the letter q, then releasing both keys, and then hold down Shift while pressing the letter a Esc ~ Shift+a Press and release Esc, then press and release ~ (tilde), then hold down Shift while pressing the letter a (In UNIX, you can also use Control+r instead of Esc)
On the Windows platform, you can also type a character in a document by using its ANSI number as described below:
1 Press the Num Lock to activate the numeric keypad. 2 Hold down the Alt key while typing the ANSI number (including the leading zero) using the keys on the numeric keypad.
For example, to enter the questiondown character () using its ANSI number, hold down Alt while typing 0191 from the numeric keypad, and then release Alt. Be sure to include the leading zero.
The Windows character sets
The Windows character set is based on the ANSI character set, and includes some additional characters not in the ANSI set. The tables in this section list the supported character sets, and the unsupported keyboard shortcuts in FrameMaker 7.x and FrameMaker 8 for Windows.
Standard character set for special hyphens, spaces, returns, and undisplayed characters
The following table lists the special hyphens, spaces, returns, and undisplayed characters supported in FrameMaker 7.x and FrameMaker 8:
