FrameMaker

Hi,Our company provides technical writing services. For this, we used Adobe FrameMaker 9, and recently we upgraded to Adobe FrameMaker 2019. As a requirement of one of our projects, we have to use S1000D. For this, we plan to use the S1000D feature provided in FrameMaker 2019. However, we are not sure that Adobe FrameMaker 2019 support Turkish characters for S1000D tags' values and attribute values (both for authoring and publishing). Unfortunately, there is not any research regarding this issue on the internet.If I am not mistaken, Adobe FrameMaker supports Turkish characters. However, I am not sure about S1000D attribute values.I appreciate your help.

I am trying to modify the ListofFiguresTpl.fm template that I use in my DITA project in order to change the numbering of the figures, appearing in the List of figures part.The reason is that the default numbering, as it is, restarts the figure numbers in each chapter to 1 then adds up the numbers throughout the chapter. However, in the list of figures, appearing in the end of the book, the numbers are accumulating. Consequently for the same figure you get two different numbers in the chapter and in the LOF. So I decided to change the numbering by adding the chapter number first then the figure number within that chapter. I first modified the ChapterOutputTpl.fm using the paragraph designer: f:Figure <$chapnum>.<n+>:\t. This works fine. However when I do the same in the ListofFiguresTpl.fm, the chapter number is always 1.

Hello all,I am roundtripping from stuctured Frame to XML and cannot figure out how to make FM restore my cross-reference targets.My edd shows the <xref> element as this:Element (CrossReference): xref     Attribute List          1.     Name: XrefTarget     IDReference     OptionalThe DTD was generated by Frame from the EDD, and shows the following definition for <xref>:<!ELEMENT    xref       EMPTY > <!ATTLIST     xref       XrefTarget  IDREF     #IMPLIED                      format    CDATA     #IMPLIED                

When publishing to PDF or using the Save as PDF option in FM 2019, all images suddenly have (unwanted) borders around them. When opening the same document in FF 2017 and saving as PDF, the same images don't have any borders. None of the graphic settings have changed between the two documents. I also can't find any settings that puts borders around images. Or is this yet another thing that's broken on FM 2019?

Hi All, I have tried to use ScriptUI to make progress bars for my scripts, but they are not very useful because of "(Not responding)" in the title bar for long operations. Any other options for reliable progress bars for scripts? Thank you very much. -Rick

Using DITA and FM 2019, group titles for Korean index entries are defined by the below image.Order: Symbols > Numerics > Alphabet > Hangle character (initial consonant). Can I produce only two groups, which one group includes symbols, numerics and English Alphabet entires, and the other group includes Hangle character entries in Hangle initial consonant order (ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ ... ㅎ)?

We have several documents (Framemaker books with several chapters and attachments) that use existing templates with specific paragraph tags, character tags, master pages, cross-refencing, table formats, etc. Our company is considering changing all these items using new templates.  How difficult is this and how in the world would we go about doing so? I'm thinking this will be too time consuming to warrant the change.  

I noticed a new issue that started today. When I start Frame 2019, the Welcome Screen pops up then is replaced by a large graphic of what appears be the Resources section of the welcome screen? I've heard maybe a Microsoft update may be causing this? Thanks!

I am working on converting unstructured to structured. I have encountered many hurdles, but the latest has to do with a series of footnotes.I have a situation where I have a series of footnotes all pointing to the same footnote. In this case, they all are pointing to footnote b at the foot of a table.Following the instructions in the FrameMaker Help, I created the original footnote and then did "use-by-reference" footnotes for the rest of the series.My original footnote entry looks like this:<fn id="incomplete">For incomplete tasks, the values for incomplete targets are set equal to the mean value of all completed targets.</fn>.Each subsequent entry looks like this:<xref href="#r_tasks_trail_making/incomplete" type="fn"/>Where r_tasks_trail_making is the ID of the current topic.Just like the example in the FrameMaker Help. Unfortunately, unlike the example in the Help, my result looks like this:The footnote text is repeated in situ in the subsequent locations instead

Ich habe meinem Rechner ein Upgrade von Windows 7 auf Windows 10 verpasst, nun verlangt Adobe Framemaker 8 nach einer Aktivierung.Die Deaktivierung auf dem alten System funktionierte nicht mehr, auch die angegebenen Telefonnummern für eine telefonische Aktivierung sind ungültig.Die Adobe-Online Hilfe (Chat) liess mich 2 Mal je fast 2 Stunden ohne Ergebnis hängen, weshalb ich es jetzt im Forum versuche.Upgrade ist keine Option, da erstens für 1 bis 2 Bücher pro Jahr zu teuer, zudem können neue Framemaker ab FMV10 keine FM8-Dateien öffnen.Was kann ich tun?

Hi All,I have added Trademark (TM) and Registered (R) symbols in the Variable.I have also added Suberscript in front of the TM & R symbol to make them appear superscripted text. However, on the body page, it appears as a regular inline text rather than Superscript.I like to print them as a Superscript, any response will be appreciated. Thank you.

I need to apply a character tag to specific words within a specific paragraph tag throughout a document. For example, if a paragraph is tagged CaptionFigure, the words "Figure F1" (using regix -- (?:Figure) ((F)(\d+)) ) should be made bold. Can someone please help me with a script for this? Thanks! 

I am having issues with FrameMaker not recognizing installed fonts. I am currently running Adobe FrameMaker 2017. I there are five fonts that show as unavailable however the fonts have been properly installed on my computer. Any guidance? I can provide screenshots. 

Dear allIt  happened yesterday in the morning and was fixed in the evening.Today in the morning the same useless huge part of the Welcome screen:When I start Frame 2019, the Welcome Screen pops up then is replaced by a large graphic of what appears be the Resources section of the welcome screenWhat the heck is going on here?See also https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker/welcome-screen-on-start-up-framemaker-2019/m-p/11125651 andhttps://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker/welcome-screen-on-start-up-framemaker-2019/m-p/11235052

Only one file is needed fr the pdf, the other is in a different folder.Admittedly it was an unwise thing to do, but it happens.

Hello Group!I would like to create a Paragraph Tag that will insert a special charater as an Autonumber Format?As an emaple, U\2776 displays the ❶. Is there a way to use the <n+> Building Block to auto increase the number without have to type each Unicode separately?  What would be the code, if any to to accomplish this or am I overthinking it! Thank you! Sam

I am using the Current Date (Long) variable in my bookTitleTpl.fm template. However, the $monthname is always in English. Is there a way to have it in other languages as well. I can of course manually create it, but then it won't be following the current month.

So this has been covered before but i dont see any fix for the source files in Framemaker 2019? I have gone into File/File Info in Framemaker and cleared all the fields inc, Title. Completely blank. I click Set, update book and save all files etc. But, no luck. Title in PDF still displays "Template v4.12" that was locked in when the template was first created I'm guesing. Any ideas to fix? Its rather annoying. I dont want to keep editing the File/Properties/Description/Title in Acrobat.Boohooo.Martin

I'm using structured FrameMaker for DITA authoring. For PDF generation, I save the ditamap to a composite FM file and include it in an FM book. I generate TOC and index as I do for unstructured FM. The thing is, as recommended by DITA best practices, I put indexterms in the prolog, which is conditionalized in FM and should be hidden in the generated PDF. But if prolog is hidden, indexterms are hidden as well and no indexterm is included in the generated index!So how should I deal with indexterms? Include them in the body will work of course, but that is against most DITA best practices. Thank you!BTW, I use FrameMaker 10.

We have been asked to deliver our user documentation in a second language. Until now I've been producing our user documention all by myself (aka the editor). I have 1500+ pages in FM19, including hundreds of routine headers, tables and images, published as pdf and responsive HTML5. The documentation is updated for each product release (new functions, added error codes etc.) which happens many times each year. If I hand over the documentation files to a translator today, my original files will have many updates before the translator is finished, so the translated documentation will be out of date even before published. Ideally, I'd like to have one common set of files too keep the structure together. With two sets of files, one for each language, they will diverge over time. In addition, I don't feel confident in handing over the control to a hired translator. On the other hand, I don't want the huge work to copy and paste all translated text back to my FM files.&nbs

With the basic search command (with regular expression checked), I could able to find the instances where there is period followed by any word or number by the expression \.\w And with the expression \.\u I could able to find period followed by an upper case letter (preferred) without space in between.But in the replace window if I give \.\s\u it doesn't work. It replaces the capital letter with the letter 'u'.I suppose if I write a extendscript it may work. OrIs there a way to add the expression \.\u for the auto spell check to find, thus a red squiggle will appear on these instances? 

Hi there,when I'm publishing (FrameMaker 2019, 15.0.5.838) a html5 help from an fm-book, the produced css-file always lists both the "old fm-formats" (which I changed/allocated in the sts-file) and the new formats for web publishing.So that there are always many duplicates (errors in the css), see example.If I clean up the tags and re-import the (cleaned) css file into the sts, save the sts --> the next publishing export will again have the duplicates!Where/how can I force the sts-file to only use my cleaned, imported css and not to publish the old (imported fm-)styles together with the new styles (allocated in the sts)? Example with duplicate styles:p.FM_Text {margin-left:14.173pt;margin-right:0.000pt;text-align:left;text-indent:0.000pt;margin-top:0.000pt;margin-bottom:4.000pt;word-spacing:0.250em;font-family:"Rotis Sans Serif W1G";font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;font-size:11.0pt;color:black;background-color:none;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0.00em;margin:0pt 0pt 1

Hi, I have created an online-Book with RoboHelp 10 and Framemaker 11 (TCS 4)which doesn't work correctly with new MS-Edge Browser (2020). Some funcitions aren't working. So the navigation snd search-function don't appear.Has someone an answer why its like this? Perhaps because MS-Edge Browser demand HTML5?In Windows and Firefox there isn't this problem. If I use in Edge the option: another Tools/ 'the 'Sites in Explorer Mode' than it works again.Has someone an idea?
