Adobe framemaker 6.0 User Manual

ADOBE FRAMEMAKER 6.0

In version 5, the FDX, FDY, and FDW statements, which specify the horizontal kern value, the vertical kern 
value, and the spread of characters, now measure in terms of the percentage of an em.

In previous versions, the FDX and FDY statements specified values in points. When reading MIF files from 
previous versions, a FrameMaker product in version 5 will convert points into the percentage of an em. 
Previous versions of FrameMaker products generate error messages when reading FDX and FDY state-
ments specifying percentages, since these products expect the kerning value in points.

In version 5, tables can be aligned along the inside or outside edge (in relation to the binding of a book) of 
a text column or text frame. As a result of this change, the TblAlignment statement now supports the 
additional keywords Inside and Outside.

In addition, the existing TblTitleContent statement is now contained in the new TblTitle statement.

For more information about the MIF syntax for tables, see “Tbl statement” on page 88.

In version 5, the DAcrobatBookmarksIncludeTagNames statement has been added under the Document 
statement to support the conversion of paragraph tags to bookmarks in Adobe Acrobat. By default, this 
statement is set to No.

Another new statement, DGenerateAcrobatInfo, sets print options to the required states for generating 
Acrobat information. By default, this statement is set to Yes.

For Macintosh publishers, the new DLinkBoundariesOn statement specifies whether or not the bound-
aries of the publisher are visible.

For View Only documents, the default value of the DViewOnlySelect statement has changed from Yes to 
UserOnly. 

For text insets, the following statement has been renamed: 

In version 5, the MIF statements describing interline spacing and padding, which appeared under the 
Document statement in previous versions, have been replaced by corresponding statements under the 
TextFlow statement:
