Structured FM: cross referenced images and their captions not being on the same page

Hi there,

 

As per the technical writing established practices, the caption of a figure and a figure must be on the same page.Figure_with_caption.JPGexpand image

After publishing in Adobe FM, We have a customer’s complain about cross referenced images and their captions not being on the same page. I am running Structured FM ver 17.04.628.

I have assembled a pdf file showing this not happening after using crossreferenced images – see Test_crossref_2.pdf, Chapter 2 (attached).

The file with the detailed explanation is attached – see file Captions_dont_go_on the same Page_as images.pdf.

 I have all files compressed in a .7z file but this format of file is not supported. Xml files are also not supported. Upon request, I will send all missing files in an email. The list of the files needed is shown  below.screen-capture of my directory.JPGexpand image

 

I was wondering if someone run in a similar situation, and if yes, what was the solution.

 

Thanks a lot,

 

Zornitza Doneva,

Toronto, Canada

In Unstructured FM, I would say it has something to do with the paragraphs that the anchored frames are attached to - something with their "keep with" settings?

The /Pagination\ properties need to be checked for:
⇧ the preceding paragraph
⊥ the para with the frame anchor 
🗏 the caption para
⇩ the following para

Check Start and both Keeps.

Thanks! I am not aware of Pagination properties in Structured Framemaker but will try to look for that in the page template for Structured Framemaker.

Thanks!

I use Structured Framemaker and this problem is applicable only for crossreferenced images - when the conkeyref element is used (see below). <p..> </p> stands for paragraph in Structured FM.

<fig id="ip_connectivity_figure">
<title>Save
Configuration to TFTP</title>
</fig>
<p conkeyref="qg-graphics/save_TFTP"></p>

 

The problem does't exist for images which are not crossreferenced (probably similar to anchored frames in Structured FM).
