There are several adapters included with Cumulus that allow you to access a catalog and choose an image from it to import or open it from another application. Adapters are provided for Adobe Photoshop, QuarkXPress, Aldus PageMaker, FrameMaker 4, FrameBuilder 4, Adobe Illustrator and RagTime. Canto and other software developers are working on additional adapters.
This is an Addition for Aldus PageMaker 4.2 and 5.0. This addition is used to import an image file into a PageMaker document using a Cumulus database.
Installation
1. Copy the file “Cumulus.add” into the folder “Additions” in your “Aldus” folder, which can be located either in the System Folder or in the same folder as your PageMaker application.
2. Start PageMaker.
3. If the Addition is installed correctly you will see a menu item called “Cumulus…” in the “Additions” submenu of the “Option” menu.
Note
This Addition supports Helios EtherShare OPI: Before importing the chosen image file the adapter looks for the corresponding layout file. If such a file exists this layout file is imported instead of the original file.
How to Use
1. Choose “Cumulus…” from the “Additions” submenu.
The adapter first looks for a running version of Cumulus or Cumulus Client. If none of them is running it searches all mounted volumes for Cumulus or Cumulus Client and launches the first found. Cumulus or Cumulus Client is brought to the front. If no catalog is open, Cumulus prompts you to open or share a catalog. After that Cumulus shows one of these dialogs:
2. Select a record and click the OK button.
3. The corresponding image file will be placed as if it was imported manually.
This PageMaker Addition supports Helios EtherShare OPI v1.0 - v1.2. Before importing the chosen image file the module looks for the corresponding layout file. If such a file exists this layout file is imported instead of the original file.
