Adobe Experience Manager Guides

I am working on an Adobe Guides set-up project and I have not been able to find any documentation about how to import an MS Word document and have it be ingested and converted to a working DITA file with Adobe Guides. Is there any documentation posted about this? It is touted as a feature of the application, but there does not appear to be any information about it, nor does it "just work" with the platform. Thank you for any insight! 

Hello Team , I have a requirement to create new "News Articles" (News Pages with only Images & Text assembled via 2/3 layouts) on AEM.  The content would be provided by the marketing team in Word. Currently the content Authors copy paste the data from word to create the pages.Is there a way to do the above activity programmatically ?  Currently we have AEM managed service 6.5 Document based Edge Is DITA the only way to achieve this ? If yes do we have any documentation for a step-by-step guide to implement the above functionality.ThanksHarish

Hello, Good Day!I am looking for a public website which uses a AEM Dynamic Media with 3d Assets to test its effectiveness over the site. (My client is considering the use of AEM Dynamic Media for 3d Assets and I want to study it)Does anyone knows any site which has the same implementation? If yes please let me know. I understand the information may be confidential so I am looking for the public sites only. I have checked few of the sites which uses AEM and might be using the AEM Dynamic Media with 3D assets, i listed them below.But I did not found anything useful.https://www.lockheedmartin.com/https://www.hp.com/https://www.ford.com/https://www.gm.com/https://www.rockwellautomation.com/

Is there a way to change the Translation Status of objects in AEM Guides?If we send something out for translation, and the quote is rejected, how can we change the Translation Status of all assets back to either "out of sync" or "missing copy"?I canceled the Translation Project, but that hasn't changed the status of the objects. Do I just need to wait longer/overnight? Or does canceling the Project not affect the translation status? Versions: AEM Guides (UUID) 4.3.1.390 On-Prem Installation (Jan 15 2024)AEM 6.5.19 (Service Pack 19) On-Prem Installation (Jan 15 2024)

 Whenever I try to add an email link to a topic in the Guides Web Editor, I get a "FAILED TO SAVE FILE" error. Below is my code. This code comes straight from the Guides Web Editor Toolbar "Insert email link" button. I've check the docs also and the code appears to be correct. Any ideas why Guides will not save this? <xref href="mailto:PM@faa.gov" scope="external">PM@faa.gov</xref> 

Hello! I've run into an issue with links in Nitro PDF reader from Native PDF AEM output. When I have two links on the same line, like www.google.com and www.amazon.com, Nitro PDF seems to treat the entire line as the same link "block" and both URLs end up the same. In the case above, clicking on the Amazon link would take the user to Google. I'm not having this issue in Adobe Acrobat. This issue also does not occur when I output from DITA OT. Is this related to the way Native PDF parses links on output? Are there any options for a fix from the AEM side? We are on the current version of on-prem AEM and Guides. I believe the PDF readers are up-to-date, as well. Thanks for your help!Josh

We make updates to our PDF plugins to support new languages or fix formatting issues. We test these changes locally before deploying the update to our instances. I would prefer to run the local tests using the data command, as this is the supported option for the DITA-OT. Is it possible to configure the DITA Profile in Guides to do the same? Thanks!

Does anyone know of a way where we can either set up AEM or use external software to help us do the following A way to document when a page's content has been last changed (beyond just a typo fix). Perhaps the author could leave notes in a log what they changed.Send reminders to certain people we define at defined intervals telling them to review the content on a page. This would help us ensure it is still accurate and compliant. thanks

Using Guides 4.01 non UUID with both FM as an editor and the Guides interface. When inserting xrefs using FM (insert <xref> element), an outputclass is assigned automatically to the xref, which dynamically links that xref to its point of reference. (In this case, a table note. As a result, these xrefs are automatically numbered to the corresponding table note.) Is there a way to create xrefs in Guides to dynamically number like this (so when using xrefs in table footnotes, the number it’s referencing is automatically applied)? This seems to work in FM but not Guides (Guides does not assign the outputclass that FM does). Example xref as constructed in FM: <xref outputclass="fm:Figure with Number" href=#concept_xxx/xxx"/>

AEM 6.5.21 (on-prem)AEM Guides v4.6 (on-prem, UUID) GlossariesWhen including glossaries and glossary entries in topics, the glossaries do generate correctly and the glossary entry links generate in the Native PDF Publishing PDF correctly, but the glossSurfaceForm and glossAcronym do not. With multiple uses of a glossary entry in a topic, the title element is the link instead of only the first instance using the title and the following instances using the acronym. This is true with both Native PDF Publishing and the AEM Sites outputs. Is this by design? Or will the glossSurfaceForm and glossAcronym eventually work as DITA intends them to work?

I have three translation Projects in "Committed for Translation" and not flowing into our TMS for translation. Now that I have confirmed the language mapping is correct (it wasn't), is there a way to push these files from "committed for translation" to "in process" without having to create entirely new translation Projects? I can create new Projects, but that would also create problems with all the "in progress" files (knowing which ones are shared between documents and which ones were sent out in the first batch and need to be re-sent). AEM 6.5.21 (on-prem installation (21 Dec 2024)AEM Guides v4.6 (UUID, on-prem installation (21 Dec 2024)GlobalLink AEMP Connector: 6.4.3GlobalLink AEMC Connector: 2.6.0

Hi,I am currently exploring the AEM Guides feature.Regarding task creation, I understand that there is an out-of-the-box (OOTB) workflow that sends a notification to the reviewer once the review task is created.However, I need help with the reverse process. Is there any documentation about a workflow or process that notifies the author/owner via email and the bell notification icon within the AEM server once a reviewer submits all their comments? Thanks!

Hi Team, I am trying to work with the relationship tables(Reltable) in the DITAMAP's. The related links functionality works fine for me and I am able to see the relationship nodes are being generated in the website for all the references which are created as part of the DITAMAP, also able to see them in the "Related Information" section on the actual topic page. I have a few questions on the information created in the DITAMAP:I observed that if there is a concept, topics and task relationships, the related content is automatically generated and shows as related content in the AEM pages, but if I use only topics, then I have to make the custom references using the "reltable" mappings. is there a way we can set those relations by default if they are in the hierarchy?I am able to see the relationship information in XML Editor and as well as in the DITAMAP dashboard topics editor, but I am not able to see the proper values in the topics view mode. Is this an issue in the tool or

Hi,   I have created DITA topics as well as DITA map for 100+ articles.I created different folder for each language and under each language folder i am having nearly 10-15 DITA topics as well as DITA maps. Take the example of below structure.   But whenever I am adding article5 topic path as xref  in article1 topic then after AEM site generation it is creating article 5 page under mySite/ca/article1 along with article1 page. So basically whenever i am adding any DITA article path in any page as xref it is creating page for those also.   Anyone knows how we can restrict DITA from generating site page for the xref links ?
