FrameMaker

In F12, table header cells with cross-references do not link in continuing table headers when saved as a PDF. The links only work in the table's initial header. Any solutions?

I am getting unwanted shadows around grapics when printing. No matter what format of image I paste into a graphics or anchored frame, when I print it out there are hazy shadows around each part of the image particularly for flow chart type images. I am using Frame 2015. Thanks for any advice.

Hi,FrameMaker color conversion issue has been discussed at large. I have read through many discussions, but could not find a fix. If this has been discussed already, kindly help me find the correct thread.We use unstructured FrameMaker (version 9). We generate a PDF output from FrameMaker and an online help (OLH) using WebWorks ePublisher Express.Due to rebranding, we had to change the heading colors used in our guides.I created custom colors in the Color Definitions dialog by entering RGB values and used them.Result:In the PDF output, colors are correct.In the OLH, colors look similar but not the same. Color values change.1. Although I chose the color model to be RGB in the Color Definitions dialog, when FrameMaker (FM) is relaunched, it had changed to CMYK (may be because FM saves colors as CMYK?)2. In the Color Defintions dialog, I input the CMYK equivalent of the required color instead. This, corrects the color in the OLH but the colors in PDF are wrong.3. I tried to set "GetLibrar

I am running FrameMaker 2017. I have a book with an index. The index contains index words in two levels, like:Monkey     Gibbon     Chimpanze     GorillaWhen i convert the book to HTML5 using FrameMakers publish feature, I get a nice html5 file.The html5 version of the index I am able to filter the words (keywords) in the index. But only first level keywords - like "Monkey" in my example. The keywords like "Gibbon", "Chimpanze" are not filtered.My questions are: Why are these second level keywords not filtered and - is there a way to include them in the filtering besides making them firstleve keywords?

We have two licenses of FM 2012, we want to upgrade to 2017 latest version - how much does it cost? or Can we upgrade our licences?

Dear all,I would like to know how and why the following lines appear from time to time in xml files:<!-- Begin Document Specific Declarations --><?Fm Validation Off?><!-- End Document Specific Declarations -->I couldn't reproduce the behavior. My colleagues and I all have FM15 and we use presumably the same configuration.We are sharing the files:only 1 workstation generates theses annoying (from a scripting POV) declarations. But only from time to time.when files containing the declarations are processed on other workstations, the declarations are removed upon saving.Where do I have to look to find the reason for the declarations generation? How do I suppress the declarations?RegardsPS: a similar question: Suppress FM comments in Doctype declaration

Hi all,we need to convert a large amount of cross references to plain text. Are you aware of a script that can do this, or do you have any recommendations? The xrefs partially reference the titles of the target chapters, but partially they also contain a manually written link text.

A colleague wants to include a URL after a level 2 heading, on the same line – to save space on the page – but not in the ToC."Easy!" I thought, and started setting up a run-in heading … but it didn't do what I'd hoped for, because I'm already using the 'across all columns and sideheads' option: as soon as I select 'run-in', the heading skips neatly inside the main column. Any tips for how to achieve the desired layout will be welcome.layout without run-inrequired layoutContent untouched by human hand, at least since colleague copy/pasted it from various websites. Leading not yet adjusted.

Was kann ich tun. Ich habe das Programm bereits mehrfach installiert - ohne Ergebnis.

Trying to create a script to determine if a page is blank.Been thinking on scrolling through the BodyPage collection but not sure how to link that to the actual flow.Any ideas I can start with?Thanks.

This is what I get when try to save as PDF.  There are no obvious instructions in fm for supporting save as PDF.

And it keeps dropping / changing files! Help

FM 12.0, alas, and not as often as it used to be … but I thought I had most of the usual keyboard shortcuts in muscle memory, and now I seem to have lost some: top of file / bottom of file? esc, b, f is still there to make the insertion point catch up with the display :-}Hints and tips welcome!

It seems that the Align Objects toolbox, which as of the 2015 version was a dockable pod, has as of the 2017 revision become a non-modal window that can no longer be docked. Given that the related Distribute Objects toolbox is a pod, I think that this has to be a simple oversight. Does that seem correct? If so, how do I go about filing a bug report?

I just upgraded from FrameMaker 12 to Framemaker 2017. In FM 2017, when I open the Format > Paragraphs menu, only some paragraph formats are displayed, as shown in the image below. If I want to choose a format that is not shown I must use the arrow to navigate the formats. In FM12, paragraph formats were displayed in columns so that one could see all paragraph formats at once. I find this very frustrating at the moment, as this is very inefficient. How can I revert back to the previous behaviour?

I take lots of screen captures and paste them into FrameMaker. The screen captures are small files, not very memory intensive. I never had a problem when using FrameMaker 2015 or previous versions. Now that I'm using FrameMaker 2017, it seems to be corrupting the Windows 7 clipboard. It works to paste sometimes and sometimes not. When it stops working it pastes the previous item copied instead of the most recent one. Sometimes I can get paste to work again by closing and reopening FrameMaker 2017 and sometimes I have to reboot the computer to make it work. I tracked the problem down to FrameMaker because I'm able to paste into other applications without an issue.Any way to get FrameMaker 2017 to consistently work correctly with copy/paste?

I've got an Arabic Right-to-Left document in which everything is working correctly except for a few paragraph styles with hanging indents. The paragraph alignment setting of these paragraphs is Justified. The right indent and first-line indent are working correctly on the right side so that the bullet point or Arabic Indic number appears correctly in the hanging area on the right. However, the first line of these paragraphs also exhibits a first-line indent on the left side, which is not supposed to happen. The remaining lines in the paragraphs are correctly justified (straight) on the left side with no indent. Have I found a bug?

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?

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)
