FrameMaker

I am publishing an app from a FrameMaker 2019 book. The process works ok, but I wonder why it is not possible to zoom on the mobile phone screen when the app is installed?.Would anybody know whether there is a tick box somewhere that I am missing?Best regards - Bjørn

Can some one please give me the link to download Adobe Framemaker 11. Due to some reasons I want to install Framemaker 11

We just switched corporate fonts to Barlow, and I cannot seem to get Barlow Condensed (otf) to be both bold and italic. Right now, it's an either/or situation. Is there any support yet for variable fonts?  With InDesign, I can adjust the skew of the text to get it to work, but the character designer in FM doesnt' have that option. The font works just fine in Office applications. I am on FrameMaker 2019, v 15.0.5.838, but users on other versions of Frame 19 and 17 are having the same issue. Is there a workaround?

I have run into a strange little problem I hadn't encountered before.I created a "Note" table style, based on an old one. It's one row and two columns, with the left column containing an "information" icon.The format looks fine, as long as the note is only one line of text.If it goes to multiple lines, the text starts over on the same line, writing over it. I realize that may not make much sense, so here is an example of what this looks like if I start typing "This is a note" over and over again: The row height appears to be locked. I tried to increase the maximum height at Table > Format > Row Format, but I can't increase the maximum over 14.Help! And thank you!

Sorry this is probably an FAQ by now but I couldn't find it on search.I have FrameMaker 2019 installed and licensed on a laptop and have just taken delivery of the new laptop which is to replace it. I presume the correct process is to install FrameMaker as new on the new laptop and then supply the license details from the old laptop, but I will need to keep the old laptop going (including using FM) for a few days while I slowly get the new one set up and prove that it's safe to switch everything over. Am I going to encounter a problem if I do this or is it as simple as I hope it is?CheersT

Hello CommunityI've generated a standalone TOC from a book file, but, one of the files (an index) isn't showing. I realize that I need to include the Index Paragraph tag when creating the TOC (it wasn't there before), but I don't want to recreate the entire TOC (it requires a lot of manual formatting). Is there a way I can revise/update the Book TOC with the new Index entry withough re-creating a brand new standalone TOC?

This worked last week and does not work now.... The MiniToc from the Frame doc does not appear in the HTML5 help file. It does have a help condition. In the Frame file when I apply the condition it appears, but it does not appear in the Help file that I create. This all worked very well for the last year, but suddenly does not work well today and I cannot work out what could have changed.Does anyone have any idea what I can do? thanks 

I had a little trouble finding where to download updates to an older version of FM, so I thought I'd put the link here. For older versions of FrameMaker:https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/product.jsp?product=22&platform=Windows For older versions of other Adobe apps, change the number in the link. For example, for updates to older versions of Acrobat use "01":https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/product.jsp?product=01&platform=Windows      

I have a problem in transferring diacritics (phonetic symbols) to PDF files. Certain combining diacritics when put under or above regular letters look fine in FM11, but when a PDF ios made, the diacritic has slipped half a letter space to the right. How can I fix this so that the PDF retains the diacritic directly under or above the letter? (Note:this does not refer to the more common kinds, such as French-type accents, for which there are unitary unicode symbols, but other, less common combinations.)

We just changed the clocks ahead one hour, but my laptop did not change the time. I called IT and the IT technician fixed a setting in the BIOS to fix the time on my laptop clock. Now, I am getting a message from Framemaker that I can't use Framemaker. I tried to license Framemaker and got a message that I can't log into my Adobe account and got directed to a website. I was on hold for 30 minutes and would like to solve this using online chat, but can't find chat on the websit. Thanks

Hi,I am using Adobe FrameMaker 12 unstructured.I have an ExtendScript that updates the book with regards to numbers and handles some conditional contents. And as a last step it saves the document as a PDF file.In the FrameMaker 12 application when you select the menu item File|Save As PDF you get the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialogue. In the Bookmarks tab section, you can manipulate which Paragraphs you want to include in PDF generation.Is it possible to manipulate this PDF Bookmarks setup via ExtendScript ?And if so you have any code snippets i can get inspired by?Thank you for the help

Hi! Here's my problem: I have a ditamap which I publish to Responsive HTML5. Now, most of the pages won't be displayed when opening the publishing result. I have been able to go around this problem by simply saving xml files with slightly different names (not changing anything else) and then replacing the old files with the re-named ones. However, this doesn't work when I have xml files which are inlcuded in other ditamaps as well. If I renamed those and replaced the old, then I'd obviously be left with several version of the same page which would add greatily to the updating load. And what's crazy is that these same xml-files aren't missing when I publish the other ditamaps where they are included in. So, what is wrong with this one individual ditamap that refuses to publish pages, that other ditamaps can publish? Thanks for any tips!

I'm facing issues when I replace images inside a table and save it. We're currently using FM 2019 with DITA 1.2 for documentation Issue Scenario :Fig tag is removed along with the image tag and new tag is placed which automatically prompts for the href. Once the file path is provided for the href, the image along with the frame is inserted.This was working properly in FM 2015 but once we migrated to 2019 and followed the same process, the image inside the frame gets offset everytime we save and reopen the file Kindly advice  

When start Framemaker,  it always generate a mistake that "can not find mfc120u.dll" , how to adress it?

What does the FP_UseFMConsoleForErrorLog session property do? It is used in some legacy code I need to work with and it seems that it is causing a crash under some conditions when it is turned on. It is not documented anywhere as far as I can tell. I can make some guesses from the name but I thought I would ask. Thanks.

Using ALT Code 234 I am unable to print symbol for Ohm in FrameMaker. Able to print other codes like Registered mark, copyright, etc. Want to know if there is any problem with the Adobe FM software or anything else.

Hi, I am a beginner in FM (after InDesign), and I've got a problem.I'm making 2 column documents with title information going across the page. I have an article with a deceased author whom I'm to mark with a dagger footnote in the bottom of the page, placed in one column, not in the wide string. The authors' names are followed with straddled strings of their affiliations and some other. What should I do to get the footnote in the required format?Appreciate any advice

Hi Scripters, I know from Russ Ward's samples how to delete an attribute value. But how do I delete the attribute itself from the element? The attribute is undefined in the document's EDD, that is, it shows as red in the structure view. FrameScript has a command for deleting an "undefined" attribute from an element, but I don't see a way to do this in ExtendScript. Any help will be appreciated. -RickI see that the FDK has an F_ApiDeleteUndefinedAttribute() function, but I don't see an equivalent in ExtendScript.

I'm trying to save a fm file to pdf and it keeps crashing and I get the "internal error 15044" before framemaker crashes. When I scroll to the page the pdf conversion crashes on 29-30/104, framemaker crashes as well. There is an imported file on the page but it crashes before I can see what it is. I recently installed 2019 and had been working on 2017. I believe there were issues with this particular frame when converting to pdf in 2017 but it didn't crash when loading. Any guidance?

This may be an obvious question, but I can't find a way to do it........When we make changes to a document we use change bars to show where the changes have been made. Of course on the next revision, these have to be removed to add new ones for the new revision.When I select all and click off Change Bar in the Character Designer, it removes all but the ones in the tables. I have looked around, but can't find anything that removes them all. Also, sometimes even selecting the table cells, it doesn't remove them until I have hunted around in the table to see where the bar is. This is quite a process for some manuals.Can I remove ALL change bars in a document? Thanks,ls

Hello,  I have documentation for my code that I maintain in Doxygen (general description + API reference). Our documentation team working with FrameMaker so I generate an XML output for them which were imported to FrameMaker using some template file which I do not fully understand. We reached good maturity and it works well except I cannot generate internal references with a custom naming. i.e. with the XML input below :<ref refid="group__ip__class_1gaad23d5c191f1ede03638140cb21ca31f" kindref="member">actions</ref>I would expect that link text will be action, but currently, action just attached as a text after the link with link text taken from element referenced by refid. I have found many ways to control a text of link text here, but all of them as far as I understand working with target link text and do not provide a way for the custom text from the ref element. I can modify my XML in a way it's needed and can manipulate templ

Hi, I have a document where all body text is in Arial 9. I was trying to find all occurrences of a word and change it to something else. But as I pressed Change, the font switched to Arial 12. Very annoying, Why does it do that and how can I prevent it? I am using Framemaker 12 I think.

How do you change the color of the background of the topic (the entire topic, to all the margins, not just the text) and the TOC? I've had to extract the .sts file to do some customizations, so I can do that again if that's needed here. I just don't know what needs to be done.

Dear all,In a script I try to add a menu item to an existing context menu:menuLocation = app.GetNamedMenu (!TextContextMenu); oCmd.cmdDoc = menuLocation.DefineAndAddCommand (1, "ETB_InsertSymbol", "Insert special symbol [ETB]", ""); It is not a problem to do so in the menu.cfg file - but in the script it fails with error messageTextContextMenu is undefinedNote, that the ! has gone here.It seems that scripts can't add to context menus.What's Your opinion here?
