In our unstructured documents, we have a table (nt Notes Table) we use to insert various notes. We use a paragraph style (ns Notes) to format the note text. We also use diffent paragraph styles to insert an appropriate image, depending on the type of note, e.g.:nti  Notes Table - Important Notes Iconntg Notes Table - General Notes Iconntr Notes Table - Reference Notes Icon, etc.In our EDD, we have a NoteType attribute against our Notes Table Element that identifies the type of note, e.g. Important, General, Reference, etc.In our Conversion Table, we have the following:The conversion correctly converts all the elements. Our problem is that the NoteType attribute isn't assigned correctly. It is always assigning the "General" attribute value, which is the last one in the list.I know it's probably one of those "can't see for looking" mistakes I've made in the conversion table.Asking the EDD gurus 🙂

Hey All--my machine suddenly began to have this issue: I cannot open .book files in FM 2017 (with the latest updates installed), but have no problem opening the .fm files in that book. When I attempt to open a .book file, the program begins to open, then almost immediately stops responding, and then throws an internal error message and has to close. I can't open any .book files, nor can I open a new .book file.And it gets more interesting: I can push the apparently un-openable files to our central repository and my colleague is able to pull and open up the .book files that I cannot.I have yet to contact adobe support as I'm hoping there's a simple fix that I'm missing, but looking up the error codes yielded nothing. So--any ideas? I'm a little stumped.

Hello Guys, Beginner here.Is it possible to have content automatically updated in different documents without using DITA? Crossreference, maybe??  Thank you 😃

Good morning. I must open a +.bk file by PC, that is a backup file of my last Android phone (Galaxy S4). I tried to send it to a new phone, but neither my new phone (Samsung Galaxy S6) neither another phone (Samsung Galaxy S4) can open it. I have got FrameMaker, but I can't open it.. is there a software that open .bk file?? Please, help me, it's important!! Thanks.

I have a chapter heading that is converting to PDF weirdly, but only for one file. The tags used for the headings are identical in both files. The tag used in the generated TOC is identical for both entries.   This is what it looks like in the generated TOC:   This is what it looks like after the PDF output is created.    Why is the word Software so oddly spaced in both entries after conversion to PDF? It's only those two headings that convert so oddly. All the others are spaced correctly.

I created a book with a TOC and have the hyperlink text option selected on the settings but they do not seem to work when I click on the paragraph text or the page number there is no action. Is there something else I need to check?

I am editing the FrontMatter page of the structured "Book" template, which ships with FrameMaker. I want to have a photo on the frontpage and I believe... I have figured out how to be able to insert a graphic and keep the structure valid. Thing is... I want to have the photo behind the text, but I need to have it anchored into the textflow if I want to have it published to HTML5. And I do want my photo on the frontpage of the HTML5 as well.But... when I publish to HTML5 I can not make the text flow on top of the image. I suppose what i want, is to have FrameMaker create a container with a bunch of divs and text on top. I want it to emulate my FM design.Can it be done though, or do I have to create my front page as an unstructured document?...

I have a table that spans over many pages. There is a running table header with the table title, however when I update the title, it does not update across the entirty of the table, only on the first page where the table begins. How can I get this to auto update?

I suddenly get the error message"Output Microsoft HTML Help contains an absolute path for publishing. Change to a relative path to continue."when I try to generate a .chm file from FramaMaker 19.It did work just a week ago, but not today - and I have made just one minor text edit since.Is it the output folder I'm suddenly is supposed to change? Or something else?(I can still publish the same document as pdf.)

I try to purchase 16.0.3 as offered on the product web site I had downloaded the update already and want to use the full version instead of the last beta version. Installation OK, but on lauch I get the message → FrameMaker must quit because you're not signed in. I quit and start FM again → If you’ve made your purchase, please try again. I use "Buy FrameMaker at Adobe.com" on this dialogue. On the website https://www.adobe.com/ch_de/creativecloud/plans.html?plan=individualFrameMaker is not listed at all!

I am publishing ditamaps and bookmaps through Adobe Experience Manager and FrameMaker Publishing Server. I would like to pre-process some of my ditamaps with XSLT. Is that possible? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you.

I am taking my first steps into working with structured documents. Right now I am working with the structured "Book" which comes with FrameMaker. I am uncertain however, as to how I add/change the top level "NoName" and make the entire book structure valid?Can anybody point me in the right direction?...

Hallo,ich möchte ein größeres Dokument im strukturierten FM teilen. Dies bedeutet, dass die Ebenen 1 und 2 nur im ersten Teil vorhanden sind. Leider fängt jetzt die Ebenen 3 im zweiten Dokument wieder mit der Zählweise für Ebene 1 (einstellig) an. Wie kann ich diese Nummerierung so anpassen, dass im zweiten Dokument die Nummerierung weiter zählt?Im Voraus herzlichen Dank

I am having a problem with FrameMaker 2020 and notifications in ExtendScript. If I have this code in my startup folder:   Notification (Constants.FA_Note_PrePublishDitamap, true); Notification (Constants.FA_Note_PostPublishDitamap, true); function Notify (note, object, sparam, iparam) { switch (note) { case Constants.FA_Note_PrePublishDitamap: alert ("1. In FA_Note_PrePublishDitamap event."); break; case Constants.FA_Note_PostPublishDitamap: alert ("2. In FA_Note_PostPublishDitamap event."); break; } } I save a ditamap as a FrameMaker book with components, both events are triggered and I see the alerts. However, when I save the ditamap from ExtendScript, the events are not triggered. This is the code I am using to save the ditamap: function saveMapAsFmBook (map, ditaval) { var params, returnParams, i, saveName, book; saveName = map.Name.replace (/\.[^\.]+$/, ".book"); params =

I need to extract the text and equations from a Framemaker file. The export to RTF option convert the equations into picture. Can I get math type equations?

Hi, is there a way to automate spelling checker with ExtendScript ?   Thanks.

https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FRMAKER-10835 Right now I am working with some big book files and they are pretty unstable with crashes on and off.It IS possible to delete all lck files using Windows Explorer, but I would really like the Open and Reset dialogue to be more versatile and allow to open ALL crashed files with one click.

I have a book with many document and lots of hyperlink between the documents.While I'm on framemaker those links are working perfectly (Ctrl-Alt-click opens the proper document) but when I save as PDF, the links seems to exist but are not working anymore.The links are only between the same book.It seems to be the same issue as Hyperlinks in FrameMaker 8 File don't work consistently when PDF'd , but the solutions proposed are not working for me.I am using FM 13.0.2.433Any help will be very appreciated.Ryan

I use a lot of images of software UI in my documents. They are typically from MS Paint, saved as png files and imported by reference into Frame. The output png files generated when the html files are created do not have the same coloring as the source image files. I have not seen any errors in logs. I have tried generating rhtml5 output (which is what I need) and basic html and the results are the same. The images come out perfect in the PDF. I've attached two example images, one with correct coloring and one with incorrect coloring.

Hi, Licensed Windows 10 Home X64Notebook MSI i5-8300H @2.30 GHzRAM: 16 GoAdobe Creative Cloud yearly subscriptionAdobe FrameMaker 2019 yearly subscription Facts: Due to some errors received from InDesign (Database error) I had to re-install entire Adobe suite and FrameMaker 2019. To uninstall them, I used CC Cleaner Tool offered by Adobe. I selected to clean/uninstall ALL. Issue: 1. I cannot find a vaslid installer for Adobe FrameMaker 2019. I looked over Adobe Help webpage and I downloaded GM X64. When I tried to install it returned an error: Please update your OS or browser. WOW. Two days ago I worked on the same computer with the same settings and OS and FrameMaker 2019 worked fine. Now, it does not recognize the OS. 2. I restarted my computer, I checked to be logged on to CreativeCloud, I downloaded again the installer recommended by Adobe. I started it and this time it returned error 183. As I searched database I found an answer that stated

  Friends an experts, The problem is related to the ScriptUI implementation. There seems to be a difference between the ID implementation and the FM implementation. I have a window wPalM with 3 tabs in the tabbed panel tp: wPalM.tp.tAny wPalM.tp.tIndx wPalM.tp.tIndxV In each of these tabs there is an edit field and other controls. When pressing a button on the top level (wPalM) i want to know on which edit-field I will operate (wPalM...eMarkerContens). In the famous “SriptUI for Dummies” Peter Kahrel suggests to use tpanel.selection = 1 for the second tab. But I can not find that this property is a numeric index. It is [object panel]. I can not find how to know the currently active tab. Neither .visible, nor .active is helpful. The only useful information is in wPalM.tp.selection.text - but this depends on the language of the interface and is really clumsy: if (wPalM.tp.selection.text == KLD_M.UItxt.wPalM.@tptAnytitle.toString() ) { ...} if (wPalM.tp.selection.text ==

I have tried to move an old project from the ESTK into VSCode. While it's generally more difficult to set-up a project, once it is working I think that VSCode is a real improvement on the ESTK. However, I need to debug a script that includes other scripts. In the ESTK I can use #include script_name.jsxThis gives a couple of errors for each use in VSCode:     Private identifiers are not allowed outside class bodies.';' expected.What am I missing? Hopefully it's an easy one to fix, I've not found any reference to private identifiers in my JavaScript or ExtendScript documentation.Ian

Hi, I am using Frame maker 2019 and lately I am unable to open any of the FM files on my machine, any insights on this will be much helpful. Thanks,Manohar.

I am importing PDF pages into FrameMaker. I want to do some scaling in ExtendScript, but I can't see where the Scaling % that is shown in the interface is exposed to ExtendScript. I see these properties in the FDK documents: #define FP_OriginalHeight 2381 /*R/O Metric*/#define FP_OriginalWidth 2382 /*R/O Metric*/#define FP_OriginalDpi 2397 /*R/O Int*/ but the equivalent OriginalHeight, OriginalWidth, etc. properties don't appear to be exposed to ExtendScript.
