8.2. DFdiscover barcoding plug-in for FrameMaker® installation [PK02]
Installation and proper operation of the DFdiscover Barcode plug-in requires:
FrameMaker 10 or greater,
Windows 8/10
| Note |
|---|---|
Installation must be performed on the local drive of each machine that is running FrameMaker®, or on the shared drive if FrameMaker® was installed on a shared drive. |
The plug-in is distributed as barcodet.dll, a
Windows DLL.
The file can be found on www.dfnetresearch.com in
software releases support website.
The DLL must be copied to the
fminit directory below the
FrameMaker® product installation directory.
Use the same name for the copied file.
For example:
C:\copy "barcodet.dll" "C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker\fminit\barcodet.dll"
The FrameMaker® installation directory, typically
C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker
or C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\13\
(where 13 is the version number),
contains a product.ini file, typically maker.ini or
imaker.ini or fmsgml.ini,
depending upon the FrameMaker® version.
The [APIClients] section of this file lists the clients
to load when FrameMaker® starts.
Each client description is on a separate line and cannot contain line breaks.
A default FrameMaker® installation will already have an
[APIClients] section that ends with:
Mailer=Standard, Send Mail API Client, fminit\mailer.dll WordCount=DocReport,Count the number of words in the document, fminit\wordcnt.dll BookUtils=Standard, Book Utilities, fminit\bookutils.dll
Edit the maker.ini file with a text editor, locate the
[APIClients] section of the file, and add the following
text on a new line at the end of the section:
DFdiscover=Standard, DFdiscover Barcode Tool, fminit\barcodet.dll, all
Save and exit the maker.ini file.
Configuration is complete.
This procedure needs to be repeated on each computer that will use FrameMaker® to create CRFs for DFdiscover studies.
