FrameMaker

I am publishing a short Framemaker 2017 book to HTML5. All graphics in the book are imported into anchored frames. The anchored frames (and not the imported graphic) have a border applied. In the HTML5 output, only the anchored frames that contained .tif graphics still have a border. The anchored frames that contained other graphic formats (.gif, .jpg, .png) lose their border. Any ideas?

Error: Attribute 'Hidden' is not declared for element 'BitFieldsPostTableDescription'I keep getting this error even after declaring the attribute in the EDD and generating a new dtd file.

I had an email link in my footer with Framemaker 11 which worked when I made a pdf. But they no longer work in Framemaker 2017. How do I get them to work?

I have inherited a few gigabytes of old documents , and a version 9 of in FrameMaker.I am trying to print to PDF.. I've worked on one book so far.The worst: nine times out of 10, the printing process hangs.I saw in a forum that the PDF printer for newer versions of Distiller were incompatible with the FrameMaker 9. I uninstalled Acrobat DC, reinstalled the PDF printer for FrameMaker 9, but no progress.I read also you had to check that Adobe PDF was selected as the PDF printer. Here are the settings on my PC:I see the jobs in the print queue. I tried deleting them an hour ago, they are still there:I also get messages relating to fontsI turned OFF the option:In the consfile.txt I see error messages relating to missing fonts:The "Open Sans ExtraBold" Font is not available.            "Open Sans Bold" will be used in this session.    The "Open Sans ExtraBold" Font is not available.      &nbs

My colleague is using unstructured Frame version 13.0.5.547. He used the option to convert graphics and tables from absolute to relative and exported a book to HTML5 in FrameMaker. The WMF graphics imported by reference don't show up in the HTML file. There are blank spaces in their place. The other graphics/photos are JPEGs and they come in fine.

Greetings FM users. I am trying to create a Case Study for the company I work for. I've never even seen any Case Studies and am wondering:Does Adobe (or perhaps a third-party) provide access to business templates? I'm currently looking for Case Study templates specifically.

I have made a book some time ago and I have now to edit it because of mistypeS, but i lost the original FrameMaker book, and I only have the PDF... I tried your methods but most of the vectorial draws, logo and some paragraphs are not imported and I have a lot of blanks (the pages number is doubled) pages at some places.(I am not so sure that I originally did it with frame maker)

I am not able to update existing books. This includes books that I have previously been able to update (meaning that I don't think it's a corruption of one book file). When I attempt to do updates or book-level application of show/hide conditional text, the application crashes without any meaningful error message, just "Adobe FrameMaker 2015 has stopped working" (screenshot below).System info: Windows 10, 64-bitFM version: 13.0.5.547Stuff I've tried (to no avail):Opening and updating an older book (that I know I was able to update and publish to PDF within the last two weeks)Opening all docs/chapters within the book before updating the bookMoving the book and docs from C drive to another (local) driveMoving the book and docs to a network driveCreating a new book and adding docs/chapters into the book one by oneSaving each file to MIF and then opening them to rebuild the bookRestarting my machineShowing all conditional textCopy and pasting text into entirely new docs/chapter filesI was

I'm trying to save a book file as PDF - it contains a portrait page that are letter size (8.5 x 11), and two landscape pages that are tabloid size (11 x 17).When I try to save as PDF, if I keep the page size as 8.5 x 11 in the PDF settings, the tabloid pages get cut. If I change the PDF settings to 11 x 17, the portrait pages are too big.Is it possible to save the book as PDF with the different page sizes? Or do I have to make two books and then combine the PDFs?Thanks.

We have a custom font set installed on Windows that we use to display icons specific to an application. I'm working with a test file in structured Frame to make sure the output generates as expected. When I print the structured Frame file (.xml file) containing the custom icon font to PDF (using the Adobe PDF printer to create a PostScript file and then the Distiller to generate the PDF), the icons render as expected. (I am using Windows 10 1803, with the latest patch.)When I publish the same file as HTML5 help, the icons don't render. The name of the icon is displayed instead -- for example, "delete-icon" is shown instead of an image of a wastebasket.Matt from Adobe suggested the following:"Your HTML5 issue can be resolved if you post the images in question on your server, then modify the CSS to use them."These aren't "images" per se. They are icons in a custom font set. I need instructions for:Posting the icon font set to the server (I suspect someone on the Dev side will need to do

After extracting a file from 7zip, when opening the file a internal error is displayed with the message Framemaker has detected a serious problem and must quit.

Someone, anyone, please help. My FM is running so slow, just scrolling up or down 1 page takes 15 seconds. I can't get anything done! This started a couple weeks ago, not terrible at first, but progressively getting worse. I also keep getting the "Not responding" message at the top. The only thing I can think of that might be causing this issue is that I signed up for the Windows Insider Program a few weeks ago, to abate the PDF-generation issue. Anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any ideas?This is the Windows version I am running:

Hello, all.I am using FM 2015 in a Win 10 environment.When I save a graphic in SnagIt, I specify 300 dpi and a width of 5 inches. I save it as a .png.When I import that .png into my FM file and select 300 dpi, the width is 2.297 inches.Why is this happening? I can certainly recalculate the values I put into SnagIt when I save the file, but I'd like to understand what's going on. All suggestions gratefully received.--Nancy

Hi All,We are currently switching from Unstructured to Structured Framemaker. I am using both Adobe Framemaker 7.1 and FM10. I am using the structured tools in the FM7.1 where we need to create a separate application for each XML file with its own DTD, Template etc.,. I created around 25 xml files and created a book with all the XML files in FM10.Each XML file has their own template i.e. an FM file(ex. Title page.fm). I have set the numbering in the differently in each template. For example: Section 1 - Page 1001       Section 2 - Page 2001       Section 3 - Page 3001When I print these sections individually there is no problem in page numbering. But when I combine it into a book and print the whole as a book page nos are changed.For example: Section 1 - Page 1       Section 2 - Page 1       Section 3 - Page 1Can anyone suggest any solution for this?. I changes to

Greetings,I've recently started using Dropbox and I've noticed that every one of my autosave files when using FM gets saved and stored in Dropbox. None of them get deleted. A document I just finished working now has 31 autosave files stored in Dropbox. I know I could turn off the autosave feature in FM, but it is really handy in the rare instances that I forget to save myself. Is there any other resolution? It seems FM and Dropbox are not playing together well in this area. Also, the autosave files that FM creates do not fall within the standard scheme of file names that Dropbox automatically ignores.Any solutions or ideas would be welcome!Adam

I am completely new to structured authoring and trying to evaluate FM with regards to how it can help me with xml authoring that will be based on a given xml schema. As a starting point, I am trying to create an xdocbook sample as a single xml file (with <book> as the top element) having a very basic structure(a basic bookinfo, preface and some chapters with sections).When trying to use the template provided by FM (File--> New Document--> XML_Templates--> xDocBook.xml) I cannot create a working sample since I keep getting internal errors and the application crashes. I have updated FM to Version 14.0.4.511 (please note that I am using a trial FM version) but the only difference is with the error codes returned. It seems that the crashes occur when FM tries to convert (for some reason) the xml to the equivalent FM counterparts.Is there a working sample or even better a tutorial available that could help me in this situation?Thank you very much in advance.

I am using unstructured FrameMaker 15 on Windows 10. I am getting this error. I tried opening all the documents in the book and saving them. I tried unchecking "Remember Missing Font Names" in Preferences and unchecking the "File contains unavailable fonts" alert in Preferences.

Dear,With FrameMaker 12 we are preparing on line documentation.When we import an image (example FM_Before; dimension 650x175; Bit depth = 24) then in the Imported Graphics Scaling screen, we have to select a dpi setting.Whatever value that is selected, the HTML5 generated has always a low quality (with 300 dpi > 223x71; Bit depth = 24 or with 72 dpi > 882x249;  Bit depth = 24).Is there a possibility to keep the original quality & sharpness in the output.Beforein HTML folder 300 dpiIn HTML folder at 72 dpi

Hello all,Looking at the reference page for a FM document (created by my predecessor) I see two mapping tables called "Headings Table":andI also see this table and wonder why it is there (I would expect to see this table if the document I were viewing was an appendix but it's not, it is a normal chapter in the book):Is there anything odd/wrong with this picture or is something just odd/wrong with me?Many thanks in advanceBen

Good day everyone. My company uses unstructured FM 11. A co-worker of mine is unable to right click and copy table cells. He can highlight text in the cell, and right click and copy. But when he selects the entire cell, and right clicks, the option to copy is greyed out. The keyboard commands of Ctrl C and V work fine. It happens in all FM file he opens. However, when he swaps to Structured FM, the option returns. I have opened the same files, and everything works fine for me in both unstructured and structured. Has anyone encountered such an issue?

We use a custom font to insert UI icons into our Frame source files. When I use "Save as PDF" to create the PDF output files, the icons do not show. I see blank spaces where the icons should be. Creating PDF documents from Frame with the Adobe PDF printer and Distiller worked fine before Windows 10/1803.Environment:-MS Windows 10, v1803-Frame 2017-Custom truetype font for icons (.ttf)-Embed all fonts-Use document fonts-Custom font shows in the Font Pod properlyI tried explicitly embedding the font. That had no effect. Subsetting the font did not help either. Adobe PDF/Distiller approach broke with Windows 10/1803. I am looking for a way to get my icons to show in the PDF file without rolling my system back to Windows 1709 (or is that 1708?). Everything is fine in Frame. Just the conversion to PDF is missing my icons. As usual--deadlines loom....

Hi,I have an unordered list which now has underlines. I have tried everything I can think of to remove the underlines from the list, but that has not happened.  The only other option I can think of is to try and recreate the list, but unless I can remove the underline from the font setting, it probably won't help. How can I clear the underline check box from the List Paragraph style in the Paragraph Designer? Thanks for any help.Cheers,Elizabeth

I would have posted this as a comment in the Frame 2017 cannot print to PDF or PS or Printer as of April 6, 2018 thread if it was not locked.I am running Windows 10 Version 1709 OS Build 16299.579.Any attempt to create a PDF with “Convert CMYK Colors to RGB” selected, results in PostScript error: “Error: typecheck; OffendingCommand: findfont; Stack: /Font (Courier) /courier” Clearing the “Convert CMYK Colors to RGB” check box results in a PDF, but with unacceptable color shifts (described as “very washed out” by posters in the other thread).I cannot install the fix released by Microsoft on July 24—KB4340917 (OS Build 17134.191—because my company restricts updates via WSUS. I tried downloading and installing the standalone package but got: “The update is not applicable to your computer.” Not surprising because I’m not on Windows 10 version 1803. Because I can’t install the update that fixes the problem, I’m hoping I can uninstall the update that introduced the problem.My question: Does
