FrameMaker

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 am looking for an Online tutor for Framemaker 2019 running on Windows 10I need to write a 50 page User Manual for a PC with custom hardware and softwareI have experience writing 500 page operations manual using MS word many years ago, and hope that Framemaker is a good documentation creation platformI am in the European time Zone, but no problem working with someone in USWill pay upfront via PayPal ahead of each sessionemail me at eurodriversoundtest@gmail.com

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!!

Is the <steps-informal> element still undefined in FM 2019?

I'm not sure if this has to do with our IT company moving us all to a new server, especially since the FM files are local to my machine. However, the last couple of weeks I've noticed that FM asks me if I want to close files without saving them, even if I've only opened them without making changes. When I click Yes, everything closes ok, but the next time I go to open the book or the individual chapters, I get a message that the files are locked. Sure enough, when I check, the .lck files are still there. They weren't closed.This is getting to be a bloody nuisance. I don't know why FM is suddenly asking me if I want to save files I've made no changes to, and I don't know why it isn't clearing the .lck files. I want BOTH of these things to STOP. Does anyone have any ideas?

As of September of 2018, there was suppose to be a fix for FrameMaker Internal Error 15004. Is the fix available and where do I go to download? Thanks.

I want to create a table with red lines; how do I do this? I'm on Frame 2019. I also want to create one box in the table with red lines, which would be similar to the table with red lines.

This is the error message I am getting and I don't even think I can work now as it keeps crashing---can someone help me ASAP pls? I am on deadline:[Message was branched by moderator]

I know how to make individual changes in "marker text" for the Index.Is there a place to see the "Marker Text" for the entire index and make changes there?I am indexing a book that uses quotes from scripture.As an example, I want to change listings from Colossians 3:10-11to Colossians 3 verses 10-11I would appreciate any help.If this is not the correct venue for this question, please disregard.

Dear all,In the good old days of 'large computers' I had an Exit routine which allowed me to terminate a Fortran program and return to the OS without the need to maintain a return chain to the top of the program structure.I'm really missing such a thing in ESTK (or elsewhere in JS). Condition in this script can be entered only if the script has been started in ESTK - not via the menu in FM (menu appears only if document is active). So the situation may not be that dramatically - because a person doing so must be at least (as I am) somewhat familiar with ESTK and know how to proceed. Nevertheless I'm looking out for principle escape function.Throwing an errorfunction IniFMGraph () {var oDoc = app.ActiveDoc;   if (!oDoc.ObjectValid()) {  // may be just the Welcome screen, but no FM document    alert ("IniFMGraph\nNo active document!\nCan not place a diagram.", "FMgraph [DDD]", false);    throw new Error ("Script stopped");  }}opens ESTK at tha

Hallo Ihr Lieben,ich habe folgende Aufgabe (Problem sagt man nicht mehr - hört sich so negativ an)aber Spaß beiseiteEs gibt einige FrameMaker Dokument, die jetzt aus unterschiedlichen Gründen nach Indesign konvertiert werden sollen.Hat jemand da Erfahrung, oder kennt jemand einen (leicht) gangbaren Weg?Freue mich auf Anregungen oder HilfenMike

Hello all,I hope someone from Adobe is monitoring this list, as there is lots of stuff that requires either more work on the ExtendScript coding or on the documentation.I have almost finalized my conversion from unstructured FrameMaker documents with lots of conditional texts to structured FrameMaker, in which attributes take over the role of the conditions. I now want to delete the condition formats but keep the contents. This is possible via the menu: when I delete a condition format, I get a dialog that allows me to keep the content as unconditional text instead of throwing it out. Guess what ? The Delete() method for a CondFmt object does not take any arguments, and the default method is throwing out the content.I can do a TextSelection on everything in the document and apply unconditional formatting to it, but that does not include the text in tables. And it is a hassle, as there should really be a way to tell the Delete() method for CondFmt what to do with the content. The option

I have applied conditional tags to show/hide a certain section within my document. This section includes images as well. However, when I "show" this section, the anchored frame, not the image border, appears in a thick black box, yet this anchored frame was set to invisible when I set the Conditional Tax.

Good Morning,We are using 64-bit FrameMaker 2019 v13.0.5.547 (second update applied).FrameMaker locks up constantly - it just stops and becomes non-responsive. Nothing pops up to say that FrameMaker stopped working, or any other notification. I have to manually shut it down. I thought it was just when I tried to create a .pdf, but most recently it happened when I was scrolling through a .fm document. I looked through the forum and saw a few variations of this, but nothing that offered a solution. If there is one, please point me to that string and I'll close this one.Thank you for any input or guidance you can give.

I have not been using FrameMaker a ton over the past several years.As a result, I forgot the shortcut to refresh the FrameMaker display. (It's ctrl + L.)Anyway, why does FrameMaker 2019 need to be refreshed to display images correctly? My laptop is a Core i7, 16 GB RAM, and has a Quadro discrete graphics card.That said, images load 3647.39% faster in FM 2019 on this laptop than they do in FrameMaker 12, so some good headway has been made. Thanks for that.Sean

I can't find the answer...how do you insert a blank page into a FM book?

FM2019 Update 2 is (finally!) available for manual download, and I've updated my installation, having previously downloaded and installed Update 1. Now that we have the files, I have to advise my colleagues on updating, and I have a question: Is it necessary to install both updates separately/sequentially, or is it sufficient to just install Update 2 (IOW, does Update 2 include all the Update 1 changes)?

Hi, I want to changed font for Arabic language Arial from "Combined Font" fonts, but its not showing in Asian text panel, anyone can please suggest regarding this issue? Or which is font need to apply for Arabic

Hi guys,I hope you can help me with this, I have trouble when saving my documents. I have the new FrameMaker 19 Version (structured) and everything is working well for me. But when my colleague saves a document the location of the schema is written in a place where it shouldn't and the whole document is destroyed. We have the exactly same setup and use the same schema from the same location.I'm out of ideas, why that is happening.Here an example:When I save the document, the xml file looks like this (which is fine)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><?Fm ShowAll False?><Kapitel ID="CEGCIIJF" language="DE"    xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="file:///M:/Vorlagen/FrameMaker/Schema.xsd"    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">...When my colleague saves the document, it looks like this (and it destroyes my document)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><!DOCTYPE Kapitel SYSTEM "file:///M:/Vorlagen/FrameMaker/Schema.xs
