Hi,I am new to Adobe Framemaker scripting. So could anyone help me with this,Consider that we have an FM document and this file imported some other FM/MIF files.When I am traversing through all the elements in the FM document, how can I identify the element is in the main file or in referenced file.Thanks in advance.

Hi there, Ref: Structured FrameMaker I was asked to put the ditamap name in the header of my published document (for an internal customer, this a work instruction name). I opened the structured output template ChapterOutputTpl_WI_0104.fm and renamed it to ChapterOutputTpl_WI_test.fm.I tried 2 approaches:Entered a variable <filename short>Entered a fixed number in the header that is the work instruction name and my ditamap nameMy ditamap is as shown below.When I published, I got the following headers:On the title page:    On the Caution page- why is not the layout on the title page,  I don’t know   On the Step_1_test file   On the Step_2_test file – why the layout is not as this for Step_1_test file and doesn’t have file name, I have not idea.   The fixed number shown as item 2 was shown everywhere.However, I would like to have the ditamap name in the header, so when I change the file name and the

Hello,In my FM document (master page), at the top, I have put a title, but after print, I have noticed that this title was cut by the printer.  In the FM master pages, how to make appear the printer zone limit, in order I could put my title below the printer zone limit (ie : inside the printer zone) ? 

I was working on a Conditional text script for a client and realized that conditions can now be applied to table columns as well as table rows. Here is some code where you can see the table Column properties. Put your cursor in a table and run the code. #target framemaker var doc, tbl, col; doc = app.ActiveDoc; tbl = doc.SelectedTbl; col = tbl.FirstColumnInTbl; alert (col); alert (col.reflect.properties.sort ().join ("\r"));

Helle gurus,Can you please provide a redirect for the javascript codes required to sort the rows of the table below in descending order according to the date and start time, that is, from old to new?I wrote the code but it was not successful. First table is binding one. Second one can be used for sorting one or first one. var tableRows = xfa.resolveNodes(“FormServiceRequestConfirmation.bdyMain1.frmTimeEntries.tblTimeEntries1.Row1[*]”);// Convert rows to an array for sortingvar rowsArray = [];for (var i = 0; i < tableRows.length; i++) {rowsArray.push(tableRows.item(i));}// Sort array by colDaterowsArray.sort(function (a, b) {var dateA = new Date(a.colDate.rawValue); // Parsing colDate as a datevar dateB = new Date(b.colDate.rawValue);// Compare dates (ascending order)if (dateA < dateB) return -1;if (dateA > dateB) return 1;returns 0;});// Reorder the table by sorted rowsfor (var j = 0; j < rowsArray.length; j++) {// Copy sorted row values back to table rowsvar sortedRow

Hi, I need help with regards to the figure numbering in FrameMaker. I have preexisting styles for figures and I started using the figure style on the first document, but when I use the same figure style in the proceeding documents, the number restarts. Is there a way I can set the figure number to continue from the previous document in the book? Thank you.

Update #2: Problem solved. I expected to find it in a dropdown menu of a dropdown menu, but it was in the main dropdown menu. Not sure why it disappeared, but I found it again. Thanks all.Update: I fixed the "Find" menu problem. It was under the "Edit" menu. But the Object Format menu is totally MIA.HELP! Suddenly for NO REASON that I can discern (I have NOT messed with my menus AT ALL) The Object Format menu is completely gone from my menus on the right, and there is no option for it in the toolbars or panels menus.Nor is it under the "Graphics" menu: Behold. They no longer exist. This is really messing me up. I need those menus. There is an "Object Properties" menu, but it doesn't do what I need to do. I want to edit the actual object, not create an object style. This doesn't let me adjust the size by percentage or edit an object in any way, it only lets me create a style.I don't want to create a style. I want to format an individual object, and that menu disappered. F

Hi there,we got a new standard to comply with. The layout looks like I achieved that with a change in the Structured FM template, in Column Layout with Room for Side Heads checked and width of 40 mm. I also managed to have the images fit in the 125 mm working area of the layout.I have problem adjusting the tables, and this is a problem because one of my documents have a lot of tables. It looks as shown below.I tried a lot of changes:1. in my structural FM template ChapterOutputTpl, I used Resize Table and the Table Designer (as per https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker-discussions/framemaker-dita-tables/m-p/10953831 ), and the table looks correct. I made sure that the updated template is imported in the DITA Template, in Publish Settings and saved before publishing.2.  To avoid the width not getting stored on saving and reopening, as per https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker-discussions/framemaker-dita-tables/m-p/10953831, I also made change t

HiI have FrameMaker 2022 17.0.5.725 installed on my laptop and use it to maintain a structured application which requires XSL transformations on XML load and save. I have a modified maker.ini file which specifies a different path for the SAXON XSL processor rather than the one which us delivered with FrameMaker. Everything is working fine in my environment.This week I have been inducting a colleague into the FrameMaker world so that they can take over some of the responsibilities for the application. We've installed the identical version of FM, correctly specified the Saxon path for their environment, and gone through loading, editing and saving a number of our documents. So far as we can tell the inputs and outputs are identical, but when their FM runs the import or export XSL transform, their FM console echoes the following line hundreds or thousands of times:There are two autorec.dll libraries, one is in "Program Files\Adobe\Adobe FrameMaker 2022\Legacy32" and the other is in "

I want to use clikable images in structured FM (DITA). In other words, I want to use an image as a clickable button. Click the image and you arrive at the target content. I can easily do this in other DITA authoring tools but can't figure it out in FM (I'm new). I'm familar enough with DITA to know I have to create a content ID and then create and xref to reference it. I can create xrefs in FM to the content IDs I want to link to. I just can't figure out the image part of it. In other tools I can insert an image within an xref element, and voila, the image becomes clickable. I must be going about it the wrong way in FrameMaker.

Has Adobe discontinued support for the ESTK Object Model Viewer (OVM)?  I've searched the forum and tried various workarounds, but the Object Model Viewer (F1) remains grayed out in ESTK.  I am able to use the Data Browser, but it doesn't provide functionality of the OMV.  If discontinued, is there a workaround a person can use.

Adobe has a page where you can sign up for a free trial vesion of FrameMaker. I completed the form on that page, and got the download, and installed it.However, when I start the app, it presents a dialog box as follows: Clicking the "Start free trial" button opens a page to start a free trial of Adobe Creative Cloud, which is something I already have, and does not include FrameMaker.  So I am confused about how to actually start the free trial. Closing the dialog box exits the application.  I got a confirmation email saying "Welcome to your Adobe FrameMaker Trial." It gives an email address for queries, but no one has responded to an email I sent asking how to start the free trial. It seems like the free trial enrollment system is broken.

Como formatar texto de um elemento do Framemaker 22?

Hello I am trying to create an ExtendScript that takes contents from a FrameMaker document and write it to the Console in the first instance:This is my attempt:var doc = app.ActiveDoc; var firstPgf = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;floop(firstPgf);function floop(Pgf){while(Pgf){var pgfText = Pgf.GetText(Constants.FTI_String);Pgf=doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.NextPgf;for(var i=0; i<pgfText.length;i++){$.writeln(pgfText[i]);}$.writeln(pgfText);}}------The output I get is:[object TextItem]Result: undefined[object TextItem][object TextItem][object TextItem][object TextItem][object TextItem][object TextItem],[object TextItem],[object TextItem],[object TextItem],[object TextItem]Result: undefinedThe object instances returned seem to be empty or not read at all.Can you advise?Thanks 

Does anyone know where I can find definitive instructions for setting up framemaker in sharepoint?  Is there a step-by-step video on it?   I'm afraid that if we do it, the way we have our artwork and illustrations (one all-inclsuive folder at the same level as the projects) would require a lot of reconnecting links.  Maybe.  Don't know.  There doesn't seem to be any detailed info, anywhere. Thanks in advance!

Our company is about to implement Sharepoint as a CMS and I am waiting for an upgrade of my Frame version from 2017 to 2022.  Some changes to our methodology are occuring with the shared drive we were using on the network drive soon to be unavailable.So now I think we need to push forward with this integration. Before, with the network drive and me as the only writer, I didn't think it would be necessary. We will be taking on another writer, but will never be working on the same books.I need some info:1.) How are graphics handled? Currently, I have a graphics subfolder under the project folder. The graphics folder typically has a subfolder for Visio and PPT source docs. Do I just upload the entire graphics folder - using the same basic structure - as a subfolder within the project folder. Then I assume that graphics that were imported by reference will need to be redirected to the new location on Sharepoint. Any details on how that works would be helpful. when you import by r

Some of my templates have a lot of paragraph styles. While I try to make the easy to access, it is sometimes useful to use a customised view on the paragraph catalog like this: The customised view seems to be document specific, though. Meaning, that the next document I open will not have the same customised list of paragraph styles. Much like View Options which are also document specific. Is there a way to export these customised palette settings from one document to another? I suppose they must reside somewhere in the document?...

Hallo zusammen.Wir haben folgendes Problem: Wenn wir eine ältere FrameMaker Datei umwandeln in MIF (2022), um es übersetzen zu lassen, kommt es im Übersetzungsprogramm so an:Die Ausgangsdatei sieht im FM so aus:Ich habe schon probiert alles in eine andere Schriftgröße oder Fett hin und zurück zu formatieren, das bringt nix.Wie kann man diese "unsichtbaren" Infos raus löschen, hat da jemand eine Idee?

Hallo zusammen. Ich habe ein ganz einfache Frage, denk ich mal.Mit welcher Tastenkombination mach man dieses Sonderzeichen?Es sorgt dafür, das ein Teil des Textes Link- und der andere Rechtbündig ist mit Punten in der Mitte.  Dankeschön!

Hello, I'm trying to create text in the paragraph designer with a background color. I'm utilizing the numbering properties and it would beS:\t<n=1>\tIt almost works, but the tabs don't have the colored background and spacing doesn't work since it isn't consistent with the size of the spacing. Looking for any other work arounds or suggestions. The goal is to have a colored box background with equal spacing for each number in the center of the background square.

Hello all We've been having this problem for a while now and sadly, this entry did not really help.We're using FrameMaker 17.0.4 on Windows 11 Enterprise. The regular text is in Univers Pro Next but there are a few Greek symbols. These used to be in the Symbol font but we've replaced them with Noto Serif. These don't display properly in the PDF which we export through the regular publish function, not via Distiller. The fonts are locally installed and the display in FrameMaker is correct. However, the PDF displays Noto Serif Light with a slight contour (0.0857mm says PitStop). If I "bolden" it with the Acrobat edit functionality and then "unbolden" it, the font looks correct. Even stranger: Noto Serif Bold is exported as Noto Serif Extra Condensed Bold in the PDF. They are not displayed at all if Extra Bold Condensed is not installed on the system. I could not find anything regarding this font in the maker.ini but I might've missed something. I'm pretty sure th
