Dear allDrawPolyline is based on the DrawLine function: the segments are drawn as line, then joined by means of FCodes.Next year I will follow Markus' advice and replace the flipping in DrawLine by rotation - but this requires some math - and is less transparent.And yes, i will report these two scripts as bypass in various FM bug reports.#target framemakerMain();function Main(oDoc) { // ==========================================================================var oDoc = app.ActiveDoc, CM = 1857713,           // Constants.FV_Metric_CM not present in ESTK    oFrame, oPoly1, rVertices = [4,1, 3,3, 5.5,3.6, 8,3, 6,2];      // values in cm  oFrame = oDoc.FirstSelectedGraphicInDoc;  if (!oFrame.ObjectValid()) {    alert ("An anchored frame must be selected.");    return;  }  oPoly0  = DrawPolyline(oDoc, oFrame, rVertices, false);  // unsmoothed

The XML schema we are using maps two different elements onto FrameMaker cross-references. One of them is a link to an ID elsewhere in this or another document, and the other is a footnote reference (where e.g. a table has two footnotes, and multiple cells in the table share the same footnote). The two types of cross reference have their own element tags and formats, on loading an XML document the elements are mapped to the correct type of cross-reference via rules, and when a document is saved the cross-references are translated back into link and footnoteref elements with all the appropriate attributes and content. So far so good.In a previous version of FrameMaker I had the software set up so that if a user inserted a link element in the structure view, the "insert cross reference" dialog would automatically pop up, and the element tag and format would be correctly primed for a link; similarly if they inserted a footnote reference element in the structure view, the dialog would appea

When I change the curly double quotation marks in one of the standard cross-reference formats to single curly quotation marks, the opening (left-hand) quotation mark displays as a closing (right-hand) quotation mark. Is there a work-around to enter in the x-reference definition field that will correct this?Thanks for any help.... mike

Win 7, FM 2015 Is it possible to place a graphic on a page with a numbered caption and have it stay in the same place on the same page even if editing before and after is done? Anchored frames don't work because they constantly move around, Graphic frames don't work because the caption is out of the flow and won't update and tables won't work because you have to chose flow to avoid white space.  Is there an answer I am overlooking? I am a novice.

The book shows each chapter with a question mark and says files do not exist.  Trying to edit the existing book in FM17. 

Hi,FM2019, Windows 10, although I've had this problem for other OSs and FM versions. I'm just now trying to fix it. In a file converted from an older version of FM, I get a hash pattern for cell padding, where it did not exist previously:I can't figure out how to make it go away. If anyone can help me, I'll tell Santa Claus that you were good this year. Here is a sample file:http://www.weststreetconsulting.com/misc/temp.fmThanks,Russ

Hi,I am creating a 2019 FM (all patched up) file using CMYK colors for print.In the mix, I have a single PNG with a transparent background. (I know it's RGB only, so will test the color shift). In the Publish pod, if Use Acrobat Distiller is selected, the transparent PNG background becomes white. If Use Distiller is not selected, the PNG's background remains transparent.Sean

Hi, have you ever tried changing the pagination ?doc.PageSide = Constants.FV_BK_START_RIGHT;   seems, doesn't work

I want to get concept-outputclass value with extend script ?

Can I create in FrameMaker such a feature, for an ePub document? Preferably with embedded images (in a single ePub file).Basically I want in my main document a low-res small image that, when pressed, would show the high-res image in a different window. I've tried importing the object but the big image is just the same zoomed low-res image imported in document with a low dpi.Please help!Thank you!

From *my* usability perspective (YMMV), two things bother me about the Publish to PDF pod.1) Source document doesn't switch to the active document. So, I have document AA.fm open and publish it to PDF, but BB.pdf is created from BB.fm, because that's the file in the Source Document field and it must be manually changed, or so it seems.2) Output folder should default to the location of the source document. So, I select AA.fm as my source document and publish it to PDF, but I can't find the file because it published in the BB.fm folder, because I hadn't manually changed that. This annoyance is worse than item 1).3) Having to track a settings file is just bothering me. Best practice advice on this would be appreciated.Cheers,Sean

I'm having a lot of trouble gettig my HTML (FM2017) to display correctly on mobile phones. The content won't resize on a real phone vs. an emuiator. Are there other skins available somewhere?I haven't moved to 2019 because when I create a PDF, my images are black. I can't figure out why this happens.Any help would be appreciated it.Thanks!

HiI have a book, now I need to create a report  of all headings including numberings, text and their locations. It should look like a TOC but in an external text file.How to achieve that?Thanks

Hello scripting friends,There is no method to apply master pages for the Doc object, but I know it can be done, as I have done this before. But I cannot find the script anymore to figure out how that worked. Does anyone have the FCode or CallClient info to do this ?Thanks in advance4everjang

FrameMaker 2017 Creating new DMLIn the section for cmlContentfor element dmEntry.... attributes dmEntryType = n, c, or nwhat do they stand for?

Hello sir, My name is Finn Aune. I am a Norwegian, but I live in Thailand. I have used Framemaker for almost 2 decades. Today I purchased an upgrade from 2015+(or older) to 2019 release. I then downloaded and installed it on my laptop and initiated the licence number. All went fine. I then wanted to install the program on my personal desk top computer, which is the one I use for my daily work. When entering I was asked for the licence number. After entering the new licence number, I was told that the licence number was valid, but that I had to enter the licence number from my old product. I did so, from my verson 12. But nothing happens after that. Seems that this number will not be accepted. I paid a high price for the product (THB 25.295,-), from Adobe Store team (Singapore), which is my region. There were only two options when buying: Upgrade or full price. The price for upgrade was higher than I have seen in other advertisements, but I wanted to buy it anyway. How can you help me?

Hi,FrameMaker 2019, v15.0.1.430, installed with several previous versions.The File > Script > New Script command does nothing. I can run a script with File > Script > Run. If I launch the IDE with FM2015 and switch the target to FM2019, again I can run a script. Any ideas why I can't launch the toolkit with FM2019?Thanks,Russ

Hi,I am trying to convert words in a paragraph to use superscript, but when I select the Superscript check box, all the test gets changed.What should I be doing to achieve this?Thanks for any help.Cheers,Elizabeth

Yesterday I visit the Adobe Tech Comm Day and this morning I installed FM 2019. It looks great but I found a missing function:In an existing document I selected a graphic to change it with “File, Insert, File”. In all previous FM-versions the current graphic name is shown in the input field “File name”. In the 2019-version this field is empty. Why?

Hello.I recently inherited a library of FM books and I am using FM 2017; it is the first time I am using FM on a regular, in-depth basis.In one of the books, Table of Contents does not appear in the header on the table of contents pages, even though the Running H/F 10 variable appears in the header for the master pages used on these pages. When I manually define the Running H/F 10 variable as Table of Contents, that text appears fine in the header.Before I changed it, the Running H/F 10 variable definition was:<Default ¶ Font><$paratext[TOC_Title,AppendixHeadingRepeat,AppendixHeading 1,Heading 1]>Which I believe is consistent with the other books.As the Running H/F 10 variable is not used anywhere else, manually defining the variable with static text is an acceptable workaround with no negative consequences, as far as I can tell. Nonetheless, I am curious as to why this is happening and how to resolve it.Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm evaluating FM2019.The file C:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\Structure\entfmts which is opened by FM when opening XML/DITA files contains the missing font Zapf Dingbat and an error is shown on the console.Why isn't Adobe removing this font or at least install it with FM?This font don't come with Windows 10.Related thread:default fonts in structured interface

I'm evaluating multiple versions of FM.When I want to assign an app to a file type (e.g. .fm), Windows will show me all 3 version of installed FM for file type .fm but display the same app name.This is very confusing to say the least...Since I couldn't find a place to specify a bug, I've used this forum.Below is a screenshot for showing how Windows 10 RS3 displays FM2015, FM2017, FM2019 (x64) when I request to change the default for file type .fm.
