FrameMaker

In 2018 I developed a script which contains this regex: var re_TmpVarName = new RegExp("(#zz)?\d+\-\d+\-\d+T\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+Z"); to find variables named for example #zz2016-11-10T09:46:52.136ZNow it turns out that (even in FM-15) the \d is no more working. I need to replace it by [0-9]: main (); function main () { var sName = "#zz2016-11-10T09:46:52.136Z"; //varr re_TmpVarName = new RegExp("(#zz)?\d+\-\d+\-\d+T\d+:\d+:\d+\.\d+Z"); var re_TmpVarName = new RegExp("(#zz)?[0-9]+\-[0-9]+\-[0-9]+T[0-9]+:[0-9]+:[0-9]+\.[0-9]+Z"); var aa = re_TmpVarName.test(sName); $.writeln (aa); // should be true } What is going on here?

Hi community. I am trying to find empty pages in doc. Here is the sample part to count the pages in doc, but I also need to check if page is empty or not.var doc = app.ActiveDoc; var bodyPage = doc.FirstBodyPageInDoc; var counter = 0; while (bodyPage.ObjectValid()) { counter++; bodyPage = bodyPage.PageNext; } Console('number of pages is ' + counter);The GetText() function is not working on BodyPage object. I also can not find a way to get TextRange of BodyPage in order to use GetTextForRange() property.Do you know any way to check if page is empty or not?Thanks.

Hear from our featured speaker, Cheryl McKinnon, Principal Analyst at Forrester, as she explains this report and highlights the coming disruption they expect to see over the next few years in the very first phase of the classic content lifecycle: content authoring. Chad Dybdahl, Solution Consultant at Adobe, will explore how a structured content management approach via component content management systems (CCMS) can go a long way in spearheading this disruption.

Hello everyone, What does "Composite | Newer | Older" mean in the summary of changes of document comparison?  Thanks

In previous versions of FM, the HTML5 output was created and the navigation was based on the TOC file setup. FM 2020 does not appear to be following this pattern. It is including a paragraph tag that I specifically assigned to exclude (and that does NOT appear in the TOC). And it is nesting everything incorrectly. Does anyone know how to control what appears in the navigation and nesting of files within that navigation?

Hello,i used to have FM 2017 on my win7 PC and printing PDFs just fine, but after i changed my Windows to 10 suddenly is printing PDFs very slow, even when i export PS file also it take too much time, besides the FrameMaker is like (not responding) till the PDF exported. Any suggestion?     

Need some guidance here:Any time I try to open a Book file with FM2019, the program hard crashes. Even trying to create a New Book will crash FM. Opening a Book file from a different folder has the same effect: Frame 'thinks' about it for a minute or so, then 'trips over its feet and falls on its face'. This behavior just started a week ago; a removal and reinstall didn't help. I do have one hard-and-fast restriction: I cannot share Book files as they are proprietary.  I'm running out of hair to pull out; any help is much appreciated. Thanks to any and all who can help.

Hi, I'm having an issue to find were I can replace/import images from the reference page into the body pages. The images I would like to replace are the "Danger", "Attention" and "Warning" images below. The images I would like to replace with are located in the reference page:If I look in the Insets panel I can see that the images have been "imported by Copy" under referance file - what does that mean? The three images are .wmf format. How do I manage to replace the images in the body page with the images from the reference page?  Thanks in advance!

This may be outside the purview of anyone's expertise, but can anyone help with the process associated with uploading the HTML5 files to SharePoint for purposes of posting a book online? Do you upload all of the files that get created when you publish to this output, or is there a select file (or files) you need to upload?

Hello Guys, We are working to have a change control in our documents. I know that when I compare two versions of documents FM generates a detailed summary of the changes. Right now, this summary will be a great help for me to feed the change control table I have created, however, the company I work for is looking for something more automated. They wish to have all these changes automatically filled in the change control table such as the one below.Version 2.0Version 3.0ChangeAuthorDatePage No.Page No.11Replaced: “company ” With: “Company ”   Is it possible somehow?I was wondering if there is a way to customize the Summary of Changes content?  Do you guys have any suggestions to help us on this matter?  Thank you for your support.Daniela   

OK,       If anyone has used the Equations pod and can provide insight in how to solve this problem, I would be forever grateful. Here's the story:       I have a very equation dense manual that I am producing in Framemaker 2019 for all the text, imported graphics, etc. I have a sub-contractor who is working in an equation editor to define and develop all the necessary equations. These equations are organized in a Word document. I take a screen capture of the full equation and import it into an anchored frame in my document. I am doing it this way because each equation must be used in two separate manuals (the manual that I am currently writing and a manual that consists of only the equations - nothing more). As a result, after I take a screen capture and store the capture in a central location, I can import the equation into each document. If the equation must be edited/updated, then the equation is updated in the Word document, I retake the screen captur

The Updates command is greyed out on my FrameMaker 2020 installation. Why? How do I get updates?

The Mini TOC's does not link in the HTML5 output. They are hyperlinked successfuly in the PDF output however. Any thoughts?I've shared some screenshots below of the other settings mentioned in other threads, so that you can see that hopefully these are correct.I can not see anything in the output settings that would impact this.Thanks for your help.

Two questions:1. Using the Indigo Theme on the HTML5 output, is there a way to change the titles on the chapter/file tiles? Currently ours displays the chapter numbers followed by the title of the chapter. I would like it to just have the title only. 2. Can we change the icons that display on these tiles? Currently it shows the same book icon for all chapters. I would like to have a unique icon for each chapter. Thanks!

Opening a custom dialog (*.dre) in either FrameMaker 2019 or 2020, making changes, and then saving results in the dialog being sized much larger than it appears in the actual dre file. For example, opening FDK2019\samples\dialog\dialog.dre, making a change, and then saving, changes the dialog definition header as follows: beforedialog DIALOG LOADONCALL MOVEABLE DISCARDABLE 0, 0, 216, 154 afterdialog DIALOG LOADONCALL MOVEABLE DISCARDABLE -1, -1, 541, 386 The controls on the dialog are resized and moved and the font is changed from 8 "Tahoma" to 9 "Segoe UI". If you run a dialog (Esc d t) in 2019 or 2020 before any changes, it is displayed resized. So it looks like 2019/2020 are applying some scaling when saving/running a dre. Has anyone else come across this and got a work around? For the time being, I can edit the *.dlg file directly, so I can ensure the size of the dialog is correct. I will create a bug report when I have a bit of time.&nb

Env Windows 10 1909, FM 2019 15.0.5.838 (x64) My client has a process, coded in c++, to add line numbers to a structured document. I know... why! The line number has to be outside of the text frame, so it could not be a element, and the inbuilt line numbering was not customisable. The line numbers are required for legislative review. Another customer uses a similar process for the same reason. another process removes the line numbers. Recently after this process was run, sometimes the line numbers would not stick, that is not be there when the document was saved, and worse, other changes would also not stick. To cut to the chase (this has taken me many hours), the symptom is that after the process to add or remove line numbers was performed, when clicking the X to close the document, FrameMaker displayed a Save File dialog, even although the document had been saved by the code. Saving manually via File->Save also made no difference.After clicking Save FrameMaker showe

HI All,I'm running FM2020 on a Windows 10 system.My 4-page file (a brochure) includes some text (Fonts: kelson/assistant/etc) and graphics with transparencies.Due to this latest FM version, I can finally, easily create a matching PDF with the transparent graphics coming out nicely on a colored background.Now my problem is that I can either get all the graphics right or all the text right, but apparently, not both.I use the "Publish" to PDF option or the Save as PDF option - each time with a different pre-defined or edited joboption:     *   When I use the Standard job option (or variation thereof) - the text comes out fine, but the graphic transparencies are lost and I get a white background.  *   When I use the High Quality Print job option - the figures come out fine, but the text (some of the bulleted lines with "Assistant" text come out squished or even misplaced - it's very weird.How do I combine both of these into a single job option?

Hello Guys, Any chance to do this in FM?  

I have a really strange situation. I have an ExtendScript that works on all but one document. They all have the same template, same tags, same layout, etc. I'm using unstructured FM 2019 in Windows 10 on a PC. Has anyone run into something like this before? Is there something in FM that I should be looking for that would cause this? I don't see anything different, there shouldn't be anything different, but evidently there is. It's very frustrating.

Can you confirm that it is true what I experience:var comp = $.getenv ("PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER"); $.writeln (comp)Produces on my machine: Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3, GenuineIntelThis statement$.setenv ("Anything", "12345");however does not create an entry in the environment variables, which you can test with the command set in a Windows console.I know for shure that the setenv script function worked in Windows 7. I had used it to communicate between an ExtendScript and an AHK script.

Is there a good tutorial for beginners of ExtendScript on FrameMaker. I was assigned to write some code and I'm really nervous because I have no experience with scripting. I have little experience in C++ and javascript. How can I go about learning how to code fairly quickly? Thank you so much. 

Hello guys, Do I always have to create a different format for the first number (1) and letter (a) different from the seconds?Ex: a:\t(<a=1>)\t      I have created this one to have (a)a:\t(<a+>)\t        I have created this one to have (b) When I have to update the style I need to change both, I was wondering if there is an automatic way so I can update them at once? Thank you 🙂
