FrameMaker

Hi,Framemaker version: 2019Settings: main font is Arial.Issue: even if we don't use Times New Roman in our project, Frammaker changes the font of some variables to that font. It is a random behaviour apparently.Question: Is it there a way to remove Times New Roman from all the files of my project, like in bulk? Thanks.

I have a Step/Action table that requires embedding an If/Then table into the Action column. The Insert Table command in the Table tab is disabled when my cursor is inside the existing Step/Action table.Where is the functionality hidden?Any insight is much appreciated!Kathy

The Help menu is supposed to provide access to the third-party plug-ins and training courses. I'd swear those items were there when I installed FM2020 yesterday, but they're not appearing now. I do have a bunch of plugins in place, but I don't think any of them affect the Help menu.   Has anyone else seen this or am I an edge case again?

Hello, Me and my team are using FM 2015 and today we experienced a weird issue, - FrameMaker is not opening, none of the projects we are working on can be opened.We do not receive any error message, FM is just trying to load for a very long time but nothing happens next, still trying to load all the time.As far as we know the same issue is experienced with other versions today (2017 and 2019).Does anyone experience the same issue and can provide the solution? Thank you,Mariya

Hi Adobe Support Community!I'm relatively new to Adode FrameMaker and need some assistance with increasing the ordered list levels in a DITA topic from three (3) to six (6).  I haven't had any luck finding the solution on my own.  Of course, I may be looking in the wrong places.Thanks in advance for your support!Regards,Kevin

Hi, do you know how can I control the selection of FM19 32 or 64 when running it with batch scirpt. <ESTK> -run do.jsx I know about this: #target framemaker-14.0   (if you are using FM17)or #target framemaker-15.0   (if you are using FM19) is there a way to control 32 and 64 versions ? Thanks,

Lightweight DITA (LwDITA) is a simplified version of DITA. It consists of a much smaller set of elements, attributes, content models, and features. It is an upcoming standard for creating structured documentation. The latest release of FrameMaker supports LwDITA out-of-the-box. You can directly create a LwDITA map or topic from FrameMaker.   FrameMaker is shipped with a simple LwDITA map and topic template which lets create LwDITA maps and topics with ease. In addition to the authoring templates, out-of-the-box publishing templates help you generate output for your LwDITA map/topics.   To start using the LwDITA application, switch to the LW_DITA_Applications in the DITA Options settings:   After changing the settings, you can create a LwDITA map or topic from the File menu:       For more information, see Working with LwDITA in FrameMaker. See a video on Out-of-the-box LwDITA support.    

Hi Guys, apologies if I am either on the wrong thread or if this question has already been asked.I am trying to import a 3.66MB video file into my frame doc.When I perform file/import/file, and locate the video (housed on one of my local work drives), then click import I get a window saying 'Unknown File Type' and get asked to convert from a long list of file types - but MP4 isn't shown?What do I have to convert to? Any ideas at all. I have been using FrameMaker for years and this ought to be a simple process (and I'm hopeful that it is), so I maybe missing something here?Please advise. Thank you - Barry

Is Adobe ever going to fix the issue of the broken link from Accounts/Plans to download the FrameMaker install files? Currently that link takes you to Creative Cloud, which is not at all useful. I reported this months ago and it's still not fixed.

 oflate am attempting and doing some trial and error with regular expression. and am guessing because of which am getting the attached internal error 15014. Am using FM version 15 / 2019 64bit i suppose.Can anyone guide me through it to avoid these?

Hey guys! I have files created in FM 2017 version. I want to open these in FM 11. I saved them as MIF files and trying to open in FM 11 version but getting the below error. Please let me know if there is any solution. Thanks,Nagraj

Just wondering, because it would be really neat... Is there a way to make a certain paragraph tag to always be connected with a certain condition?FrameMaker 2019 Unstrutured.  

TOC hyperlinks for 1,000-page manual do not work or are not clickable even if I performed the following:Enabled Create hypertext links checkbox in Setup a Table of Contents window before clicking update TOC.Added the tags that should have TOC links (Head 1, Chapter Name and Number).Tried adding in the Reference Page of the TOC page: openObjectId<$relfilename>:<$ObjectType>:<$ObjectId> I also tried generating another document with 50 pages and the TOC hyperlinks do not work even if the same steps were performed. Is there anyone who could help me as TOC links should be clickable to comply with WCAG 2.0?

I have a table of 80+ pages with header row. so when i select a cell and CTRL+A or Triple click the cell, the entire table get selected including header row.  I couldn't unselect or deselect the row once it is selected.I have to manualy scroll through all the pages to select all the rows except header. Is there a way to unselect or deselect row in table after selection?

Hey gang,I've got a document that requires me to place mathematical symbols in text.  Some of these symbols don't have a Unicode component, e.g., the letter "V" with a vector arrow (→) over it. In Word, for example, you would type a letter, add the four-character Unicode and press ALT+X, or use the "Insert Symbol" dialog box.  This doesn't seem to exist in Frame.  Am I overlooking something?TL;DR: Is there a way to combine diacritical marks in Frame to replicate this, or am I stuck using the Equation Editor?Regards,-terry-FrameMaker 11Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have almost 3000 pages of sturctured Frame 10 docs that I need to convert to a new approach of using DITA.  Have anyone done this without using IXGen - merely using what Frame 10 has to offer?  IF so - any tricks you can provide?

Getting a document reviewed is an integral part of the document creation process. Generating a PDF and creating a shared review is a very common workflow adopted by many organizations across the world. You can easily create a Review PDF directly from FrameMaker and share it with your reviewers.   If you are a subscription user of Adobe Technical Communication Suite, then creating Review PDFs is made even more simpler now. The latest release of FrameMaker integrates with Adobe Document Cloud. You can create a Review PDF, host it in your Document Cloud account, and share it with your internal or external Subject Matter Experts for review. They just need to have their credentials to be able to access the PDF under review from Adobe's Document Cloud.   Once the review is complete, you can import the review comments directly into the source document. That’s not all, the new Review panel gives you an one unified view of all comments received on your document. You can also accept, r

I have previously successfully packaged various updates of FrameMaker 2019 including Update 5 and installed FrameMaker from the package. With the X64 version of Update 6 , CCP does not list the X64 version of Update 6 after choosing Add Offline Media, choosing Update 6 (after unziping the download), then clicking Extract, followed by Done. The X32 version of Update 6 is listed however. I have inserted below screen shots showing the following:CCP before the sequence mentioned previously to include Update 6. CCP showing the extract screen.CCP after the extract showing only the X32 version of Update 6.CCP showing the X64 version of Update 6 available after following the same sequence as in steps 1-3 except with the unzipped X64 Update 5 download. Update 6 is not yet available at FrameMaker for Windows - UPDATES/PROGRAMS  Maybe this is significant? TIA Jon

Windows 10 systemFramemaker 2019 Release 15.0.5.838 (where I saw this first happen today)Framemaker 2019 Release Version 15.0.6.956 (checked for updates, found this one, applied, problem still occurs) Problem: The 'clone case' option in Find/Change is not working properly when the text being found is in all-caps. In the sequence of screenshots below, I did three 'find' operations for different words.Both the 'find' and 'change' values were entered in lower case.'Clone Case' was selected. I've highlighted the conversions that are wrong, or may be wrong (I'm not sure what the behaviour is supposed to be for those that I did in ransom-note-case :-)) But the first one highlighted in each case (ALLCAPS) is definitely converting incorrectly (alllower).Am I misinterpreting this, or is this a known issue, or should I register it as a bug? Thanks! Example:   

I just installed Framemaker update V15.0.5.838, now all of sudden welcome window is proper size but the Book window is so small I can't read it.First time this has happened.  I am using Windows 10 latest version and all updates.  Computer is an HP ZBook 17 G4.    Every other program is proper size ... would appreciate any help .. I simply can't read the window to work with the book.  THANKS
