And, thank you for offering a quick web session. It is appreciated. At some point, I'll likely look for training options in 2026, but right now I'm just trying to plow through the task I was hired for.

No, you're absolutely right that I'm new, but I think we're talking the same thing. What I was suggesting is that it is impossible to "duplicate" the h2 tag, give it a new name and then use the settings you define above and have the border extend to the margins. I'm thinking it's an attribute baked into HTML5 and thus, cannot be duplicated by a tag with a different name. Perhaps, I could test calling it h7 and see if that works. But calling the new, duplicated tag h2-blue does not work -- even with those attributes assigned. At least it didn't for me. Now I concede I did not enter the attibutes with the HTML editor, I used the interface. But, just the same it didn't function unless I edited the original h2 heading. It actually solves another problem (happy accident) by automatically populating the index on the right column with my major headings (bookmarks).

It looks like the only way to accomplish it is to utilize one of the default "heading" tags. Trying to "copy" the h2 setting only creates a style and a style, apparently, cannot have a border or background that extends to the paragraph width. I had to adapt and overcome. I created a new tag for the items utilizing the h2 tag and then used the h2 tag to create the visual look I was after. That is what worked for me.

For the most part, that IS where I've been editing the .css. I haven't been double clicking the tag from the right hand panel, but I've been editing the .css from the assets list in the project. But, like I said I do need to move on. In the meantime, I do have what I hope is a quick/easy question for you. I notice on your site there are a number of h2 topics where you build a border around the text that extends the width of the page. For the life of me, I can not get the border/background to reach to container extents. I've tried setting the width to 100% and I've tried a fixed setting of 1000px in an effort to get it to expand. But, it still sizes to the text. I know I can cheat and build a 1 column/1 line table - but that's messy and extra html. How do you get yours to size correctly?

Honestly, I've given up for now. I simply rebuilt the page in another blank Topic. I can't afford to spend too much time falling behind. As I have time, I may go back and attempt your suggestion(s). Thank you for all your help and hand holding.

I may have worked it out. I deleted the existing .css and created a new copy from the default.css file. I then recreated the h2-blue tag from the default h2 tag. I'll see wehre that gets me over the next few hours.

Hmmm.... okay. So copying the file into the new project still exhibits the problem. Amending the h2-blue to h2 resolves the problem. What in this .css setting could be the cause of the problem -- or is the .css file simply corrupt and deleting and recreating the .css would resolve it. I've attached a copy of the settings for that tag. I apologize it is a photo, but I work for a government agency and cannot send image files outside of the bldg (even if they are as inocuous as a .css entry). First, thank you for all your help so far... we are definitely narrowing it down. But, what is your suggestion to fix the issue?

I applied the default.css with a similar result. I'm not sure what you mean, exactly, with the second half of your suggestion. Create a new project, copy the default.css to the old project assets folder? Sorry, if that's a silly question, but I'm new to Robohelp and this is my first project. I love using it... except for this glitch...

Had a very strange problem start today. On the project I'm currently creating I have started to have empty paragraphs show up on both the visual and code view... and, they KEEP MULTIPLYING every time I change views from one to the other. In the code, they look like this: " <h2-blue class="Heading"><span style="line-height:1;"><span id="" style="color: rgb(0, 39, 118);line-height: 1">FTIS Menu</span></span></h2-blue> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><span data-conref="assets/snippets/I_FTIS_Menu_S.hts"> </span><span style="line-height:1;"></span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> <h2-blue class="Heading">Taxpayer Information</h2-blue>" I mean there's nothing that I'm aware of that would cause this. I am inserting snippets after the headings, but there is nothing in those that would cause this, and in fact, there are places where there is only a heading and no snippet and it still inserts them. At one point, the bottom of the page had over 3,000 empty paragraph tags. Has anyone else run into this problem before? I'm at wits end. I don't see ANYTHING in the code that would do this. I've removed the "<p> <br /> </p>" tags as I did see a random reference to that as a possible issue. I'm also using a single style sheet and changed all the snippets to utilize the same style as the document to avoid a cascading issue. HELP! I'm using Robohelp version 2022.6.34 on a Windows 10 box.

I know. That's why we've been holding out. With a January 2017 release of the 2017 version, it suggests the 2018 release is imminent. Yet, I can't find any reference anywhere to it. Adobe has better security than the White House I would think if it goes too far beyond July, it would become FM2019... but... Just looking for someone "in-the-know" to give the "jump" or "wait" sign. Given your status, I think we'll wait just a bit. Thanks.

Jeff, I have been told by the sales representative at Adobe that no such formal program exists for Framemaker. If they release the new version one day after I buy, perhaps, but if as little as one month goes by, it is a full cost upgrade to the next version. It's hard enough to convince management to upgrade once. Having to do it twice in a matter of a couple months would be nearly impossible. We deal with very large, complex documents that contain dozens of photographs and drawings. The 64 bit version would be a huge benefit, but we don't want to ignore the advances from 2015 to 2017 either. 2015 is a pretty "kludgey" version. It is not a great environment for handling graphics. So, we are between the proverbial rock and a hard place. Do we jump now and pray nothing new it imminent, or do we keep holding out and fighting with FM2015? I keep hoping against hope someone from Adobe can provide just a bit of guidance. Jeremy

Stefan, I know that you guys are reticent to let the cat out of the bag early, but I'm going to ask anyway. We currently own two licenses for Framemaker 2015. We have been reluctant to upgrade to the 2017 version for fear that the 2018 version's release is imminent. If you were me, would you pull the trigger now, or hold out just a bit longer?

I tried the script you included and added the "app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");" statement. Unfortunately, the added statement is the only portion of the script that seems to function. The saved document still has all the form fields live. I added the script as a "Mouse Down"/"Run Javascript" function. This is the contents of the script verbatim: function flattenFields() { if (app.viewerType=="Reader") { for (var i=0 ; i<this.numFields ; i++) { var f = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i)) ; if (f==null) continue; f.readonly = true; } } else { this.flattenPages(); } } app.execMenuItem("SaveAs"); Did I miss something?

Can you describe the process to "flatten" a file and could it also be worked into a script that would flatten the file and then call a "save as" function? Our users are notoriously lazy and so, I'm trying to make it as bullet proof as possible. The original of the questionnaire (5 pgs) will be set to "read only" so the goal is to save a file that as you say is "flat" but, contains all of the respondent information. I'm happy to attach a link to the file if that would be useful. Thanks again, Jeremy

You folks were so quick answering my previous question... you know what they say, "No good deed goes unpunished". So here's my question, I don't think it's a difficult one, but it involves Java script for which I have zero experience. I have a form that I would like to have the users submit as a PDF that is static. My thinking is that this is most easily accomplished as a Print to PDF function. I can add a button and assign <File><Print>, but that's as deep as that command works. I don't want to just use <File><Save as PDF> since I want to remove the form functionality and save the entered data. I'm guessing I need to assign a java script to the button. Anyone have something pre-coded that they can slide my way? Thank you in advance. Jeremy Cleveland, Ohio

I'm trying to conditionally fill in a date in a PDF form. I have located a script that automatically enters today's date in the form, but I want to make the automatic date populate the field ONLY if the field is blank. In other words, if a date already exists in the field, I'd like Acrobat to not replace the date with today's date. This is the script I'm currently using: event.value = util.printd("m/d/yyyy", new Date()); Can someone help me out here? Thank you. Noob Cleveland, Ohio Thank you in advance.

Any idea where might be a good resource to investigate the kind of scripting you are referring to? Maybe someplace with examples I could review? Thanks in advance.

That almost works. Perhaps some more explanation is in order. Right now the text field shows about 8 lines of 10 point text. Some descriptions might run 16 or 20 lines. Using Auto font size creates a printout that is virtually unreadable. Is there any way to have the TEXT BOX expand in size to accommodate the additional text upon printing? It wouldn't matter if it created additional pages, or if the text broke across the page lines.

I have a report form that has several text fields that scroll vertically to enter data. Upon printing, only the visible portion of the field prints. How can I get the printout to expand the field so that all data shows?
