FrameMaker

Is there a source document for the list of FrameMaker structured elements?   fm.mov   fm.icy  fm.description (attachStoreShipPartCodeRef)  etc.  Most are self-explanatory, but I like to understand the context in which they are used, which data modules, etc.  Is there a source document somewhere?

I have been trying to use Save-as PDF from the File menu in FrameMaker 2019 but the File\Publish settings seem to be overriding the folder selection I make in Save-as PDF. My PDF are being saved to a different folder that I set up during Save-as. I am creating PDFs for a number of different .book files want each one saved into the folder that contains the l.fm and .book file.  I never had this issue with Previous version of FrameMaker.Is this a BUG or been reported by anyone else?

I have FrameMaker 11 and need to upgrade to FM 15.  The download page is asking for a serial number which is available from my account but I have long since forgotten my password and no longer use the associated email address.  How can I get the SN so I can purchase an upgrade?

Hello everyone!Please help me understand what I need to do if I want ... tables of the same type in my XML document keep different column widths.1) I use FM 2017 and have a book with XML files, so I use a DTD and EDD files to design my document.2) I added to  EDD a new type of table and updated DTD. 3) As a result, I can add this new table in a document, but I cannot save widths of columns. If I close the document and reopen it, the widths of columns have default settings which I set in structure template for Table format. I cannot predict what column widths I will need for future tables, so I would like to be able to adjust the width of the columns for each individual table and save these settings after closing the document. How can I do it? Is it possible?

Using FrameMaker 2017Step 1.  From FILE->NEW->BOOKStep 2. Using the STRUCTURE pulldown menu, validate the .bookError: Element ValidationElement: NoName is undefined.From the Structural Development Ref pg 178/262  I have to add RootElement as highest element.Modified the Element Definitions Document to create a RootElement as highest element.Now it tells me I need to edit the "Conversion Table"?What is the easiest solution to this?

Hello,I'm pretty sure that my question is related to Master pages. I'm trying to set things up so that my back cover appears on the right page and a blank page appears on the left. Currently, I'b getting the opposite, my back cover on the left side and followed by a blank page on the right side.I've been playing with master page usage and also tried creating a Custom Master page but so far, nothing changes my layout. Thank you in advance.

How can I 1 A4 print on more pages?

My team just updated to FM 2019 Version 15 and now the "Symbols" button in the toolbar does not work for any of us. It is grayed out. The pull-down from "Insert" works, but we want the button to be functional to insert symbols. How do we turn this on?

Hi,I am trying to copy and paste from one FrameMaker file to another, but when I do, the resulting text is blue (it's black in the source document). When I try to apply a style to it, it remains blue.Any ideas on what is causing this to happen?

Some time ago, I managed to arrange things so that when I print to Acrobat from FrameMaker, the resulting PDF gets created with the Navigation Tab defaulting to "Bookmarks Panel and Page" on the Initial View Tab of the document properties. I love this. It saves me the time of going to the file properties and changing the Initial View setting each and every time.My problem is that now I can't remember or figure out how I did it. Here are some things I can tell you (all of which lead me to believe that it's a setting somewhere in the specific FM file(s)):When I set it up, I was using FM 12 and Acrobat (XI maybe?) on a different computer from the one I am using now. I am now using FM(2015 edition) and Acrobat DC.It only works when printing from FM (not from Word or any other program).It works when printing book files and individual files.It seems to only work with my existing files. If  I create a new file "from scratch" it doesn't work (I almost always create new files either by sav

I am using FM 2017 and have found that when I print documents containing graphics, the print time is sometimes unusually long.  Most of our graphics are referenced PDFs, and none are particularly large (i.e.. most are under 1MB). Currently I am trying to print (to PDF) 6 pages of a manual section, containing about 5 graphics, each of which are under 100KB.   The print job has been running for about 30 minutes. Is there an adjustment or update that would address this?

Are there any good, readily available (free to use/download) resources for creating EDDs specifically and Structured templates generally? I'm looking for something much more in-depth than the "Create an EDD" topic in the Help files, but the Structure Application Developer Reference doc focuses more on the application development side and doesn't seem to go into much detail on EDDs. For example, in trying to set up general rules, I can't find information on what wildcards are available, their format or use, how parentheses are used to group items, etc. I also don't see much on how to set up formatting rules.Thanks!JMW

Hi thereA very wierd issue about conditional text.I have this example text: three paragraphs and the second one with very big font size and marked as conditional text.I hide the condicional text and FM 2019 inserts a conditional marker with the size of the previous paragraph!!.As you can see, there is a lot of room among the three paragraphs.Is there a workaround for this?Thnaks a lot for your time

../ExtendScript Toolkit.exe" -run exampleScript.jsxDoes anybody know how can I disable this ? or is there any good way to run the extendscript in non interactive mode.

Does anybody know how to update ?

Hi allI'm using FrameMaker 2017 all patched up (14.0.3). I import an png image (a screen shot at 96 dpi) and I select 150 dpi in the "Imported Graphic Scaling" dialog. However, this doesn't seem to work: the image is scaled to 1.04% of its original size and the dpi is "unknown" in the Object Properties dialog panel pod thing even though I didn't scale the image by dragging one of its corners.Has anyone else seen this bug?Cheers

Does anybody know how can I add a space in the end of the table cell with extendscript.I have object of the cell and want to get the text/string and add a space in the end.

I am migrating a structured Frame application from FrameMaker 8 to FrameMaker 2019. Several months ago I did a trial migration to Frame 2017 and the open-edit-save roundtrip for a single document worked fine. Now I am doing the job for real with Frame 2019 (times move on).Unfortunately when I attempt to open my sample XML document for editing the pre-processor stylesheet generates an error. This ran without problems in Frame 2017 (and of course the stylesheet runs perfectly outside of Frame).The pre-processor stylesheet is XSL 1.0 so could run in any XSL processor; the post-processor stylesheet is XSL 2.0 so requires Saxon. Hence in my structured apps document definitions I have includedTemplate:          $STRUCTDIR\xml\helpcenter\app\template.fmRead/write rules:  $STRUCTDIR\xml\helpcenter\app\rulesXSLT Preferences:  Preprocessing:    Stylesheet:     $STRUCTDIR\xml\helpcenter\app\hcxml2fm.xsl&nbsp

This was working as expected in FM8 from whence my application is migrating. In FM2019 certain images are being scaled without notification.Our XML contains img elements which have a number of attributes: srcpath, height, width, dpi, optional caption. Because of the caption, when an XML document is opened in Frame a pre-processor stylesheet wraps images in a wrapper element which is given the caption, while the other attributes remain on the img element.Our read-write rules file containselement "img"{  is fm graphic element;  writer facet default specify size in pt;  attribute "src" is fm property file;  fm property import by reference or copy value is "ref";  fm property alignment value is "acenter";  fm property position value is "below";  fm property horizontal offset value is "0pt";  fm property vertical offset value is "0pt";  attribute "height" is fm property height;  attribute "width" is fm property width;  attribute "dpi" i

Trying to get updates for FrameMaker 15.0.2, when I launch the Set-up.exe file the dialog window image doesn't allow me to enter a response. It appears as follows and I cannot resize the window to gain access to the contents of the window in order to click on whatever response is buried there.The same issue when using the Help/updates...

I'm a bit deep in the weeds here, and not entirely sure I'm going about this the right way.Overall Goal: Be able to use XML/Structured Framemaker to generate Word versions of current publications directly from Framemaker, rather than Framemaker -> PDF -> Word. Problem: I'm trying to import elements from an EDD generated from the NISO STS v1.0 tag library. The EDD, which i generated from the corresponding DTD, is 200+ pages long, and Framemaker (2015 and 2019) both crash every time I try to import elements from the EDD into a fresh document. I assume this is a memory issue, but I have no idea how to proceed. Maybe there's an easier way to accomplish the overall goal (stated above)?Setup:Running Windows 7 Pro, SP1 (64-bit)Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4570 CPU @3.20 GHz8MB RAMFramemaker 2015 (13.0.5.547)(also tried it in a trial of FM2019)I've posted the framelog from my my recent crash (using Framemaker 2015) below.=== Header Begin ===Internal Error: 13054, 5134708, 5135002, 8277901FrameMa

I'm revising our current 2018 book with 2019 revisions.  I did a save as and the chapter numbers are showing as the path and file name of the 2018 book.  can I rename the chapters and/or save the source file in a different location? Do I need to create a new book using the 2018 chapters and then revise that book?  Pain in the butt!!
