FrameMaker

I'm trying to set the column widths of a table in framemaker by importing the width from an attribute in the imported xml file. But it doesn't work...This is from my read/write rules:element "ITEM-CELL-LIST"{is fm table cell element;attribute "width" is fm property column width;fm property column width value is "2cm";}The last line that specifies the width to 2cm seems to be accepted as I can save the EDD as DTD without errors, but it has no effect on the actual widths of the table created.The line above it doesn't work at all. When I try to save the EDD, I get the following error: "Invalid property specified for the element (ITEM-CELL-LIST)."I've tried every way I can think of, but nothing seems to work The only way I've been able to actually set the widths is by creating a table in the master template page and resizing the columns. That carries over to the imported xml.

When opening a 17.0.5 document, text insets set for auto update are not updating. This led me to find a crasher when using the Edit > Update References feature   Anyone able to successfully update insets upon opening of file?   Posted to tracker at  https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FRMAKER-15132  

Hi Framemaker experts!I'm trying to add two "run into paragraph" anchored frames to my text, one on the right, and one on the left.  However, when I do so, there is a giant gap between the paragraphs. Is there any way to fix this? Thank you,Wendy

I have  a book with an extensive index which is being published as html5. The index works fine in HTML5, but I get no highlight of the chosen index words when I click them in the published output. Making it pretty cumbersome to figure out where exactly the source of the index word actually is on the page. Is there a solution for this? FrameMaker Version: 17.0.5.725

I would like to write a script to take the uppercase WORDS in a table and change them to capitalize each word.Question is:  is this hard to do? And where does one go to find out how to do this?ChatGPT scripts are not working for me.Thank you,Vicki

I have a structured document I am creating through XML in FrameMaker. After struggling immensely with getting the appropriate master pages applied to each page (including a blank page between "chapters," I am now finding that the pdf output when publishing does not match what I am seeing in FrameMaker. I have an FM book with a FrontMatter.fm file that contains title page information (2 pages), a List of Markers that is the Table of Contents (2 pages), and then the main document with all of the content imported from XML. When I look at the FrameMaker .fm file for the main document, all of the appropriate header pages are applied (through the EDD with context labels, not manually applied). However, when I publish the document to pdf about 1/2 of the way through the document the output starts to differ from what I have on FrameMaker. This appears to be causing my master pages to be about 2 pages off through the rest of the book. I was able to track down the first page that is cl

I want to publish a single DITA topic in PDF format with a book title and TOC. I am selecting the book title and TOC from Publish > Change Settings > Edit Options, but FrameMaker is not publishing the DITA topic with the selected book title and TOC. Could you please suggest how I can achieve this?

Hello,I have a problem with Frame Maker. I can open the files .fm, but I cannot open the file .book. So I cannot refresh the TOC and the LEP and I cannot create the PDF because I only have the section separetely, I do not have the book. In the corresponding the book is created but when I open it, I does not appear.Could you help me with that? Thank you all!

A co-worker had the Adobe FrameMaker 11 version 11.0.0.380 re-installed and is receiving the following message:Any suggestions as to how to resolve this will be appreciated. Thanks.

This just started happening across several different projects: Using the Publish routine, everything proceeds normally to the every end. Then the routine hangs with two progress bars show and gives a message "mapping tags to marked content." The only way out of this mess is to kill FM in the task manager. Conversely, the "Print Book to PDF" routine works fine.  I've never been clear on what the differences between these two routines are supposed to be, and the PDFs produced by the Print Book routine seem fine. What does the Publish routine offer that the Print Book to PDF routine doesn't? In other words, should I care about this? Thanks in advance,Bill  

I have combed through these community pages and there does not seem to be an answer to this question. I have several documents that have blank pages at the end of them. The first thing I tried was Format/Document/Delete Pages. The window pops up with the page numbers I want to delete, and I hit "Ok." Voila! Page gone. But the minute I save it, page comes right back. Then I thought I'd resolved the problem by using Format/Page Layout/Pagination and the selecting "Delete Blank Pages" from the dropdown menu in the window. This seemed to solve the problem, BUT....When I published the book, guess what? Blank pages return, in all their glory. I have played around with Book properties and there is absolutely NOTHING that allows me to delete empty pages at the book level. I have to assume this is a bug, or FrameMaker is just that un-user friendly. Adobe, please fix your bugs. With what you charge for a subscription, these sorts of problems should not be happening. I'm embar

I am publishing a large book to HTML5.  I have this issue that some of the images become too small when published as HTML5. Text becomes difficult or impossible to read. I CAN scale the images in the FM document before publishing, but it is a tiresome and error prone process. Is it possible, somehow, to have FM scale certain images automatically during publishing?

I am working on a script for someone using FrameMaker 12. When were Object Styles added to FrameMaker? Were they on FrameMaker 12? Thanks in advance.

Downloaded new version, FrameMaker 2022, Version: 17.0.5.725. We use product interface FrameMaker, and my Save As for book or a single file is grayed out. I uninstalled and reinstalled.  No joy still missing.  

Has anyone noticed the Auto Save Every x Minutes check box in Preferences not staying selected in FrameMaker 2022? Yesterday, FrameMaker crashed and none of my changes were saved. The Auto Save check box was not selected, which I thought was strange because I was pretty sure I had it set to save every 5 minutes. I selected the Auto Save check box and set it for 5 minutes. I worked the rest of the day with the file automatically saving as expected. I was working in the same file today when FrameMaker closed without warning. None of my changes were saved, and when I checked Auto Save, it was deselected again.

I would like to insert these, subscripted, characters in a glossary marker:   I would expect that there are numbers in unicode which will do this - but how do I find them?      

こんにちはいつもお世話になっております連続投稿すみません。DTP業務で、日本語.fmデータ → XML → 翻訳ツール → XML → 英語.fmデータの工程で英文マニュアルを作成しています。その際にTable困ったことがあって、ここに投稿させていただきました。困りごとと言うのは添付ファイルのように日本語はテキスト数が少ないが、英文に翻訳されるとテキスト数が多くなり、Table内のテキストが行送りされてしまいます。取引先に納品する際に、何百ページあるものをすべて目で確認して、行送りされている箇所があれば、表の列幅を広がて単語が行送りされないようにしています。（何十時間もかかっています）そこでお聞きしたいのですが、行送りされたものを強調表示させる既存機能はないでしょうかよろしくお願いします

Hi All, This is what my Figure-1column element looks like in the EDD: Element (Container): Figure-1column   General rule: Graphic, Figure-title*   Automatic insertions      Automatically insert child: Figure-title   Text format rules      In all contexts.         Numbering properties            No autonumber format.         Default font properties            Size: 3pt         Pagination properties            Keep with previous: Yes   Banner Text: Banner Text But when I import the EDD, there's no banner text in my Figure-1column elements. I did make sure to make sure that element banner text is checked in the View menu. What am I doing wrong?

Greetings, everyone:I am trying to insert a registered trademark symbol in my Framemaker 2019 document, and it's not working.According to the help, the combination is Ctrl+q Shift+9, but this isn't working. All I get is an e character from the Ctrl+q.I'm using Arial font.Please help! Thank you!

I have FrameMaker 2019. I'm using custom fonts which are installed on the computer. When I select a custom font in the Paragraph Designer and apply it to a paragraph, the text changes to random characters. So something like the word "Characteristics" becomes "B12YGN/32Rtul4N." I copied the errant text into Notepad and it still says "Characteristics" but that's not what is displaying in FrameMaker. Any ideas?
