Subject:Line numbering in FrameMaker or in PDF files? From:Mike McGraw <mmcgraw -at- qualcomm -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Tue, 18 Mar 2003 13:30:54 -0800
One of our engineers would like to have each page of his document
line-numbered, beginning with "1" at the top of each page.
Nobody here has been able to figure out how to add line numbers to pages,
either in the source (FrameMaker; 5.5, 6, 7) document or in the PDF doc
generated from the source file.
One suggestion was to place a narrow frame with a left-justified number
sequence on the underlying master page, but that would seem to work like a
graphic with the numbers independent of formatted paragraphs on the body
pages. We'd like each actual line to have its own number regardless of the
line's format/spacing.
Anyone have a good idea how to accomplish this? Any third-party tools that
will provide line numbers in Frame or PDF files? Any neat tricks we can
play in the MIF or Frame SDK?
Thanks.
