Dear Team,Please list the best online links/tools for grammar/sentence correction and proofreading of technical documents.I use Grammarly's, it would be better if i get more online links.thanks

Hi,I am using Framemaker 2019 (p393 build) and the CMS feature to check documents out of AEM. When I connect to AEM (through Framemaker), FM 2019 crashes.  The pop-up is showing error "Adobe FrameMaker 2019 has stopped working"This occurs with both AEM version 6.3 and 6.4. Can someone check? This seems to be a bug in FM 2019. Thanks!Namdev

Are there any tools to import IDML into Framemaker?

I have a collection of documents in PDF that are used to build a library of technical manuals.  I would like to retain the look and feel of these manuals but edit them in FrameMaker.  Is this possible?  If so how do I do it?

Hi,I am trying to use Framemaker 2017 to edit s1000d data modules that were originally created in a different program.  When we use the WYSIWYG view to edit and make pdfs, Framemaker re-structures portions of the document with it's own tags, such as <fm.graphic>, <fm.title>. I'm assuming this is from using the built-in structured applications (such as S1000D_description_401, etc.) to compose the document.However, the xml file is now useless to us, as these "fm" tags cannot be read in our customer's CSDB. Unfortunately we had done significant work on the files before realizing this.Is there an easy way to export a "clean" xml file from Framemaker without the "fm" tags?  Or perhaps to un-apply the structured application?Thanks!MG

Test driving the new version of FM and am happy to see that the colored icons are back. Tried printing to PDF and my white logos turned black in the output. However, saving as PDF works just fine. Any thoughts?

I have an enduser that is having an odd issue with Framemaker. They are trying to print a book to a .PS file, when the opperation is run, it is generating an empty .PS file. This ONLY happens to one file, and that file will work on other systems running the same versions of FrameMaker. Other Books on this system print fine. Also if you print to PDF you get the same results. We have tried to have another user on the same machine log in a the results are the same.Any thought?--Mike

I'm having the same problem. I added several sections to my chapter, but the mini TOC won't update. I tried deleting the TOC and creating a new one. This removed all the formatting. When I tried to add back the paragraph style, it won't let me select part of the TOC, just the whole thing. I want the first and last entry to be different. Is there a way to select just one line of the TOC?

I am using the FM 2017 release and have installed the FDK2017 from the official website.I open Framemaker, click on file-->script-->new script but nothing ever happens. I do not get a error message.I have read these two threads that suggest to install the FDK, which I already have. I have tried reinstalling it to no effect.I have installed FrameMaker 2017 and cannot run scriptshttps://forums.adobe.com/thread/2314153?q=When%20I%20click%20on%20New%20Script%20nothing%20happensI am using Win7 on a 64 Bit system.Do you have any idea how I could solve this problem?thank you in advance

is there a way of getting a paragraph tag to make initial significant letters capitalized?

Hi,I have a few multicolumn tables I created that use my own cell formats called Table Caption, Table Heading, and Table Cell. When I created a table that spanned two pages, the table caption and the table heading did not continue at the top of the second page. This is with Frame 7.2.I checked my manual and it gave no clue as to how to make the table title and headings continue on multiple pages. Well, it did mention the table continuation variable.I then inserted a Format A table (one of the built-in tables) and it worked properly but I did not see any table continuation variable in that table. But the table formats were called TableTitle, CellHeading, and CellBody. When I examined them with the paragraph designer, I cold not see any setting that referred to multipages. This is frustrating.What is it about the built-in table and its formats that are different from the ones I created and why do the built-in table formats automatically continue the title and headings to the next page?Yo

By default, Framemaker opens documents as tabs. With Framemaker 2017 (FM 14.0.3.500), when I drag a document tab out of a tab group into into a floating window, the new window is always opened very small (approx. 300 by 250 pixels), and, making things worse, resizing the window is not possible. Also the commands Fit Window To Page and Fit Window To Text Frame are not functioning, which, in effect, makes the floating window unusable.On the same machine, I do not see this problem with Framemaker 10 or other programs providing similar functionality so I think that this is not a Windows problem but specific to Frame 17. Uninstalling and reinstalling Frame did not resolve the issue.Any ideas on how to fix this annyoing behavior are highly appreciated. Thanks!

I have several conditional text tags in several documents that I use in different books.When I am editing I like to have the conditional text a different colour so I can easily see where it is and if it is applied correctlyBut how can I change the colour of all the text of a tag in all the documents in a book in one go instead of in each document?/jusn

Hello all,FM 2017In order to have a watermark appear on all pages in a book, must I apply the watermark to all master pages (Right, Left, First) for each document?Or is there a way that all master pages can have a watermark by default?Many thanks on advance.regards,Ben

Hello all,Some images are showing up fine in the .pdf (note the very top part of this image is a previous page having an image).  The bottom part (what appears as a blueish box) is actually an image that is not displying properly in the pdf.  I can select this blue box and copy/paste into a word document and the image is shown.  Not sure yet why this is happening to some of the images.Appreciate any advice.regards,Ben

Hi,How to find 5 digits value with comma (10,000) and replace 5 digits with dot (10.000) and space (10 000) using wildcard for framemaker using extendscript ? Please suggests if any ideas.Thank You.

I'm attempting to edit a table title that is continuing from a previous page, but can't figure out how to edit the format of the "(Continued)" text that follows the second table title.  I can't click into the second table title because it's a repeating header from the first table title:First table title:Second table title (next page):I'm guessing it's done in the "Cross-references" pod in FM, but not sure how to do it after messing around with the settings...Anyone have any tips?Thank you!

the Show Condition Indicators was already OFF

We are losing page breaks during file generation (TOC, List of Figures) or adding of index tags in FrameMaker 2015. Suggestions?We always place our tags at the end of the header or term, but that doesn't always make a difference. Those are easier to catch than when the breaks are lost during file generation.

One chapter in a book has tables showing hatch marks.  See below.  Attempted to turn off the conditional text but hatch marks remain.  How can the hatch marks be eliminated?

There must be a way to do this, and maybe I'm just brain dead today...I have heading tags that I would like to be underlined.But I don't want the underline under the text only. I want the underline to go all the way from the left margin to the right margin. Like I show below:This is a heading with the underline extending to the right margin.                                          I remain, Clueless in Tahoe Vista. 🙂

Hi, I just signed up for Adobe Stock as I need some background images for a project I'm working on. I've used Framemaker for many years now.I load image #15166609 onto a Master Page of my document. When I try to create the PDF, it hangs every single time. At first I didn't know why this was occurring and I went thru a painstaking process of eliminating variables until only one was left; image # 15166609.I can't use this image altho other images I've set as background on a Master Page work fine.Anyway know if this is a bug? anamoly? corrupted file?Appreciate any feedback.Thanks,Oscar Salgado

Tried printing today from FM to Xerox WorkCentre  70225, and got an error message saying it was incompatible. Has anyone else seen that?Is it merely some weird one-off with this printer model?Thanks!Amy SharpDCI Int'l
