FrameMaker

Hi everyone,We are using the Adobe Framemaker R4i Workspace plug-in for S1000D, but we cannot use 4.1 functions of the S1000D.Do we have the possibility to access S1000D 4.1 functions (PDF Output, PM, Applicability, CIR) using Framemaker, without using Binder?Thank you for your assistance...

Hi all. I have a portion of text on one page in a book that will change. I need to leave the existing text in place while indicating to the reviewers that the section needs to be updated. What is the best way to do that, i.e., perhaps with a transparent "Needs Updating" watermark that I place over the text section? Cheers -- John

Hello,We have a defect tracking system.I can copy the columns and rows of text and paste it get the information into a text editor such as notepad (in an orderly fashion) etc.I’d like to copy and paste this information into the rows and columns of a table in a FrameMaker doc, but see no obvious option to achieve this. I don’t want to import a file like a Word document because I want to apply the FrameMaker paragraph and character settings. Is there a way to do this?Or am I doomed to enter each row of information manually into FrameMaker?I’m working with FrameMaker 2019. Kind regards,Fred Gerke

Hi...New to this forum. In a previous life I used Framemaker a great deal for my job with Cisco. As a result, I have dozens and dozens of Framemaker files that I can still open, edit, and resave. I have Framemaker 7 on my Windows 7 laptop but I cannot create (Save as) PDF from my Framemaker (.fm) files; am told a print file is not available. Does anyone have suggestions to help me solve this problem? Am open to subscribing to some version of Adobe Acrobat to get this done, but am not sure if the current AA version will open my older Framemaker (.fm) files.Thank you in advance... Michael

I'm using tables to contain graphics and their captions. For documents with multiple outputs where the graphics differ between versions, I use multiple rows and condition the row the graphic is in for the output.   Unlike rows with text in them, rows that contain a single cell with a graphic aren't showing the barred outline indicating that the row has a condition applied.   I don't recall if this is the expected behavior.   Windows 10 Pro FrameMaker 16.0.1.817

Hi all. I need to import or paste several examples of XML code into a FM book, but I need it to maintain it's format when brought into FM. Is there a way to make that happen? I've attached an example from a previous edition of this chapter. Cheers and thx -- John   

Dear friends, I need your sharp eyes!I have two - IMHO identical - functions to set up a dialogue with list box. One works, one presents the listbox empty...What is wrong here?  // Test_DebugMenu.jsx ====== UTF-8 ======================================== var KLD_Z = KLD_Z || {}; // global script object KLD_Z.ThisWorks = function () { // ======================================== var asColours = ["black", "blue", "brown", "green", "mauve", "red", "violet", "white"], wPalC; wPalC = new Window("dialog", "Colours in this document", undefined); wPalC.g1 = wPalC.add ("group", undefined, undefined); wPalC.g1.lis1 = wPalC.g1.add ("listbox", undefined, asColours); wPalC.g1.lis1.preferredSize.width = 200; wPalC.g1.lis1.preferredSize.height = 100; wPalC.show();} //--- end ThisWorks -------------------------------------- KLD_Z.DebugMenu = function () { //=== Invoke individul menu items ========= var aMenuItems, wDlgD; aMenuItems = ["Fgr_OpenHelpFil

Hi everybody, I've found a few posts claiming that FM2017 and FM2019 have images issues that FM2015 did not have.My collegues and I are facing the issues likewise. Opening an XML file with images defined either by "scale" or e.g. by "width", some images will be "mis-sized".Consider this <fig> node:<fig><figspace/><image href="../PathToImage/Image.png" placement="break" scale="24.00" /> <title>Title of the Image</title></fig>The image may be scaled by 24%, but not always.I tried to pinpoint the issue by inserting this node several time a row.<fig><figspace/><image href="../PathToImage/Image.png" placement="break" scale="24.00" /> <title>First Insertion</title></fig> <fig><figspace/><image href="../PathToImage/Image.png" placement="break" scale="24.00" /> <title>Second Insertion</title></fig> No difference between the two nodes, yet, the value for scale in t

Hi all, I have a FM publishing server 2015 running on MS2012 R2.A strange behaviour started occuring a few weeks ago: Framemaker does not open ditamaps anymore.It freezes or crashes. After starting FM anew, it is proposed to restore the previous session, but fails and freezes again.This behaviour does not occur when opening xml files.I found out that deleting the maker.ini of the user solves the problem. But only for 2 or 3 days...The first value of RMViewLeftDocked seems to cause the issue, it changes over time.A fresh maker.ini has RMViewLeftDocked=360, 1071, and FM crashes when the value reaches RMViewLeftDocked=30, 1071.The server runs every night printing over 400 documents. We work with structured FM.How do I stop the value from changing? How do I prevent FM to crash when the value is 30? Regards,Fabian

I'll preface this by saying I don't us FrameMaker but I am trying to develop a workflow for my team who will be using FrameMaker. I can not figure out how the Sharepoint Online Repository Manager works.  My workflow is as such (also shown in video:Link to video explaning steps below.  Yes I know personal details are visible.1.  Connect to Sharepoint Online2.  Checkout .book file3.  Make changes to a fm file in the book4.  Save the .fm file5.  Checkin the .book file When I goto open the file - the text I added is not there.  What am I doing wrong?  I can't seem to find any documentation about this feature anywhere online.Thanks!

I am new to Framemaker, but I have read the framemaker help.pdf, searched the web and these forums, and I can't see what I am doing wrong.I am trying to create a book using structured authoring. My ditamap currently looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE bookmap PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA BookMap//EN" "bookmap/dtd/bookmap.dtd" []><bookmap    xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"><booktitle><mainbooktitle>Practical PRoject Management</mainbooktitle></booktitle><chapter href="Introduction.xml" type="concept"></chapter><chapter href="Chapter1.xml" type="concept"><topicref href="ch1_quote.xml" type="topic"></topicref><topicref href="ch1_setkas_story.xml" type="topic"></topicref></chapter></bookmap>I open 'Chapter1.xml' in the editor and I want to do what all the tutorials on master pages do, which is give it a unique layout. 

Hello!(Disclaimer: I'm pretty new to FrameMaker)I've set up an Appendix and the numbering is working:But in the TOC, things aren't working correctly:Two problems:1) I'd like the page numbers to say A-1, A-2, B-1, B-2 etc.2) The numbering isn't working for the headingsFor reference, here are the TOC Paragraph styles:     Just in case you need them, here are the content styles:    Thanks!Elo

Hello; Frame 2019, Windows 10 EnterpriseWhen I print or save to PDF, all of the images have consisitent borders. Most often the borders are on the left, top and right but missing from the bottom. It does not seem to mater what the settings are in Object properties, (color or size) or the Graphics pen tool.  Even if the source file, typically jpg has a 1 point border. We use templates from another department, but I tried using a default Frame template as well as DITA topics and still I get the same results when I save as or print oto PDF. It must be some PDF output settings?Thanks 

I am generating the PDF by setting up a PS file. The settings are all in place but the output PDF doesn't have the hyperlinks to topics in TOC in the PDF file.

Client does not want the word "Connection" to wrap to the left margin as seen above. he wants any word wraps to be indented. Did it manually to show what I need: Paragraph Designer:This is TOC file's Reference page:  

When I import images and apply a 1pt or 2pt border from Object Properties, there is no border on the image.  Am I missing something?

If I want to add a full color photo or graphic as a FrameMaker cover page, how would I do that without any top or side borders?  I would assume there is also no anchor involved.  Would it be done from the masterpages? Thanks!

Hi all!I am a newbie to this support community so I hope that I am posting in the right place.My problem is that I have two very similar guides that I used conditional tags to hide some of the information that is not relevant to one of the guides. When I create a pdf of that guide there are large spaces between paragraphs. The "first" guide I created has all the text in is perfect. It is the second guide that only has some of the text where there seems to be a formatting problem.  Any suggestions?Thanks,Lyn 

The Word Count utility counts all words in the document. Is there a way to count the number of characters or words in a piece of selected text?

Hi all,I want to make some small changes in S1000D tables (for instance Require Condition in the procedural module) in Adobe Frame Maker 2019, S1000D. I changed ".edd", ".tpl", ".rwr".  But when I want to save a procedural module, I got various errors. I want to know which files do the validation when saving any data module? As a simple action, I tried to change the size of the column of the "fm.reqCondGroup" table in .rwr. file but I couldn't see the changes' effect. Do I miss anything here? element "fm.reqCondGroup" {is fm table element;fm property columns value is "1";fm property column widths value is "170mm";  I changed this valuefm property table format value is "S1000Dwide";} What is strange for me is that in FM when you want to create a "fm.reqCondGroup" the default value of columns is 3, however it is defined as "1" in .rwr file. So, I thought maybe another file is responsible for the validation.It will save me lots of effort and time if you have any i

Hello,I not very experienced with Framemaker, therefore I have following problem:We have a PDF file, where the picture looks like this: But once I open it in Framemaker 12, I have the picture like this:Any idea why?Thank youDanilo

A client has a mandatory font, Roboto, that I must use to produce their manual suite. I have downloaded and installed these fonts in C:\Windows\Fonts, and I have made sure to activate this font in my Adobe Fonts account. (From the Adobe site: Roboto is available via an open source license. You're free to use it with your Adobe Fonts account just as you would any other font in the Adobe Fonts library.). I am using FM2019 to produce the documents. As this is not a font that some users might have on their systems, I want to embed the fonts in any PDF that I produce for this suite, but when I go to set a job options file w/ these specific fonts embedded, the fonts are NOT listed in the available fonts list. I cannot find anything about Roboto having/not having the correct marks for being embedded, so for now, I have resorted to Pre-Flighting the PDF after production: (If you have Adobe Acrobat XI Professional (not Standard) you can embed fonts available on your system using Preflight

Has anyone else noticed that when they use the Ctrl-Z to undo the last change, it instead undoes EVERY change made in its history? It doesn't happen every time, but it happens often enough that it is really messing with my workflow.   Windows 10 Pro FM 2020, up to date
