FrameMaker

What Structure (Topic/Concept/Task) should I use if I need to accomplish multi-level numbering as shown below???Chapter Title.....Section1.....     1. xxx     2. xxx          a. xxx          b. xxx               i. xxx              ii. xxx                    1. xxx                    2. xxxAlso, can I add Figure or Table at any level?Thanks.

Not a FrameMaker question, per se, but... I started asking a question as a reply in an existing discussion, and then decided it should probably be its own separate thing. So I selected the text, cut it, canceled my reply, opened a new discussion, and tried to paste my text into the text field.Nothing. Neither hitting <ctrl>-v nor right-clicking and choosing Paste produced any results at all in the forum window. I know the content was there in the paste buffer, because I was able to paste it into an open FM file, but I couldn't paste it here, and ended up retyping it all. Is that the way the forums are supposed to behave, or is it some kind of user error on my part?

I'm working in a new book that I created. The text is in English. There are only maybe 0.3% of the words in German. Inspite of this, the spell check tells me that all words in the vicinity of the single German word are wrong, because they aren't German words. I don't want to spell check in ANY other language. I'm somehow not seeing where I can specify which dictionaries to use in this book to spell check. Only HOW to use them (2 options). I see the ability to turn-off the spell check entirely, but that's undesirable.  I would have expected to be able to control this "feature". I don't want to have to check a bunch of words, because FrameMaker 2019 thinks I'm doing a polygot book.Does anyone know if this is possible?

Just trying to set up FM 2017; while trying to set up EDD rules for my output templates, FrameMaker is crashing constantly.Usually all it takes to cause a crash is trying to scroll through structured view or expanding a collapsed tag or structure item.Sometimes the crash is so bad that I have to restart my computer to get the FM processes to actually stop.I sent all of the crash logs to fmerror@adobe.com but the message bounced. Anything I can do? I'm currently on a 30-day trial so I can get it set up before my boss(es) pony up for licenses. I got FM11 working successfully at my previous company so I really talked it up at this new place. Not making a great first impression here, though...Edit to add: I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling FM2017. I have also noticed that the crashes tend to happen with the referenced sections of EDDs. I can open the modules without too much trouble.

My (2017 release) FrameMaker file contains web fonts (the Font Awesome you can download there: https://fontawesome.com/icons?d=gallery&m=free).When I "Save as PDF" my FrameMaker file, I get an error that says: 'An error occurred when opening thie file. File cannot be found'. No PDF file is produced and if I was replacing an existing pdf file, that pdf file is deleted.When I use the PDF printer, in the options I uncheck option 'Limit to system fonts, do not use document fonts.' (in French Se limiter aux polices système, ne pas utiliser les polices du document.) and the PDF file is produced. But that pdf file contains no links (I have several cross references). So I cannot send that pdf document to my customers.I checked my Acrobat Settings, but I couldn't find any similar font option in the joboptions files.I hope that you can help me produce a PDF file containing both web fonts and hyperlinks! Thanks

I wrote a script that actually works, but I'd like for it to automatically run whenever I save the Framemaker (19) document. It seems like there should be a command for that but I can't find it. Thanks!

New to DITA. Investigating structured framemaker to see if it's something we should pursue at my company.We are on framemaker 2017.I've created a few sample chapters in DITA and have saved these as PDF, which is the main format we'll be targeting.But I'm having trouble wrapping my head around how to export a dita book that mirrors the look and feel of the technical manuals we currently produce in unstructured framemaker. Can someone point me in the direction of resources/tutorials on how I'd go about doing this? 

Adobe Postulates on the FM 2019 product page: “Interactive HTML5 dialogs for plug-ins Make the customer experience richer by using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript to make interactive plug-in dialog boxes.”Now that I need to create a few dialog boxes (panels?), I‘d like to have a look at the requirements, limitations, and resources. Where can I find them?

Seit gestern arbeite ich mit FrameMaker 2019 (32-bit) der neuesten Version (d.h. mit allen Service Releases, die angeboten wurden).Ich habe ständig Programmabstürze beim Versuch, über das Menü "Bearbeiten" > "Voreinstellungen" zu öffnen ebenso wie bei der pdf-Erstellung direkt über das Menü.Außerdem reagieren meine Tasten F8 und F9 nicht mehr, über die ich meine Zeichen- und Absatzformate schnell und einfach zuweisen kann.Ist das ein System-Bug und wir FM 2019 User sind die CrashTest-Dummies oder liegt das ggf. an dem Installationsprozedere?Soll unsere IT-Abteilung das Programm nochmals installieren? Was ist hierbei insbesondere zu beachten? Schöne und ziemlich erboste GrüßeAstrid Imhof

HelloI am trying to change the standard logo of the azure blue html 5 design to a different icon. I can select my png file, but FM will not change it. Logo.png will remain.I am using FM 2019 with latest patches.Any idea?Andreas

I have a project I'm still maintaining in Frame 12, producing CHM files as the output using the Publish command.I find that any thin space in my Frame source is getting rendered as an ordinary space in the Help viewer. Is this a limitation of that old Microsoft HTML Help Viewer not rendering thin spaces properly?  Or is Frame not bothering to write   entities in its HTML output? And if so, how do I make it do that? (I don't see anything obvious in the Publish settings).

In the body text of one document I refer to a figure on the same page, using language something like this:  See Figure 10 below.However, I don't want to enter the figure number in the body text because the actual number might change in the future.  So it makes sense to use a variable for the number.  Normally I'd use a cross reference for this, but that would make the variable a clickable link.  Since the image is on the same page, I don't need (or want) the variable to be clickable.  I just want the number to update automagically.Is there a way to accomplish this in Frame?Thanks!

I upgraded to a new windows 10 laptop. I have Framemaker 13 installed. When I attempt to navigate within a document, the program freezes and can be unresponsive for 20 minutes or more. There is almost no CPU usage when it is not responding, though my laptop fan goes into high gear when FrameMaker freezes. It is basically unusable and I am at a standstill. FrameMaker worked fine on my older 6 year old laptop.I've tried hiding graphics, renaming the preferences folder, installed all updates. Please give me some ideas.

I am trying to publish a structured FM file using the Basic HTML output. I keep getting the following error:"Output Basic HTML contains and absolute path for publishing. Change to a relative path to continue."I have tried publishing it to my desktop, to my hard drive, to a network folder with no change.Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,I have got a structured FM file which is exported from dita topic and has exactly the same structure as of dita-topic. When I query (FrameMaker 2017 & 2019.)IntT isXmlWellFormed = F_ApiGetInt(FV_SessionId, document_Id, FP_XmlWellFormed);I expect to get zero but I got 2 (FV_XML_WELLFORMED_NO).As per my understanding of the FDK documentation* '0' means it's a FM file and * FV_XML_WELLFORMED_YES/FV_XML_WELLFORMED_NO mean it's a xml file.Is it a bug with FrameMaker or am I missing anything here?Thanks,Paresh

I'm attempting to update my book and save as PDFs.When attempting to Update a book or "Save as PDF" I get the error messages below:When Saving as PDF:When Updating Book:I get an error report, but also the windows prompt error, and FM randomly creates separate TOC/LOF/LOT files unstructured.  This just started happening, I have no idea what causes this.  I've tried updating Framemaker, restarting, and googling this issue, but no information is found. I am working with Adobe Framemaker 2015, version 13.0.5.547. If anyone is familiar with this issue, help would be greatly appreciated as this prevents me from getting any work done.  Thank you!

I am using FM2019, can someone tell me how to use Cross-References so they would work in DITA Topics and DITA Map.As we know that normal FM cross-references do not work in DITA.I have two topic files, each file has one cross-reference which points to an image (inside Figure element).DITA MAP (of two Topic Files) output in PDF: Figures are updated but cross-references are not updated and not working. 1

I am unable to either print a FrameMaker 2017 book or save as PDF. Can I get some help? URGENT!

Hi,* My Alert preferences show all messages* This is a standalone file (not in a Book)* My Reference Page defines my Heading1MTOC and Heading2MTOC the same (tab stop setting of 4.7R):<image001.png>    But in the Body View, even after clicking Update MiniTOC, it doesn’t display correctly:        The MiniTOC displays correctly when I slightly move the right-justified tab stop any amount in either direction. (I thought there was an extra tab character, but there isn't; I also experimented with adding 1 more tab stop closer to the left):    <image003.png>    But when I click the Save button, that tab stop change is lost and the MiniTOC reverts to the earlier screenshot. Please let me know if you have any ideas what I’m doing wrong or what I need to adjust to make my MiniTOC display properly. Thanks,GuyP.S.  I now have a 2nd file with the same issue, and in the MiniTOC, the tab symbols appear to the

I have Framemaker 15, which was working fine so long. I run it via VMWare.When I do a File-Save as PDF and give a file name and click ok, it seems that it is creating a pdf file but then I cant find it anywhere. I dont get any error while creating it.In the File explorer I do see that file in the Recent files list. When I try to open it, I get an error that the file does not exist.Its weird. But has anyone come across such an error?

Hi! I noticed a new section in the ini file from the last time I updated FM 2019. I would love to use it to include a revision history page in my generated books.

Do I get any upgrades if I buy Framemaker 2019 for $999?

HiI was checking my answer to another question in this forum about table properties when I discovered that my recollection of how certain properties worked was faulty. This has revealed an omission in our EDD which I'd like to rectify, but the reference guide hasn't got enough detail to help me.Our table schema allows for cell align and valign attributes to be specified at any level (th, tb, tf, tr, td) and inherited by descendant elements. Thus the text alignment of a table cell will be governed by the cell's align attribute/property, if that is omitted then it will use the row's align property, if that is omitted it will use the th/tb/tf align property, and so forth.The reference guide notes that the align and valign attributes are automatically translated by Framemaker without needing to be specified in read/write rules, but it also notes that when tables are displayed in the document view the cells are not aligned automatically; "you must write format rules to use these attributes

How do I modify NoName to make is WDMS_1261728_003?It will not allow me to edit From the Structure View --Can I modify it From the Elements Tab..?
