FrameMaker

Thanks. That takes care of that.But I'm having trouble changing the stroke and fill color for the rectangle. I want no fill and white stroke. But I don't see any option for None or No Fill.

We are looking for someone to come in to our offices in Montreal and help our documentation team transition to using FrameMaker. We will mostly be working from templates, so nothing too in depth needed. Ideally training would last 2-3 days.  We are happy to pay for expertise but we do not want the added expenses of flights/hotels, so really looking for someone local.We would also consider doing an instructor-led online training.All suggestions and recommendations appreciated.  Thank you.

I'm using FrameMaker 2017 unstructured. I simply want to draw a rectangle, but every time I do, this dialog appears:I don't want to create a Hotspot, I just want a simple rectangle, so I click Cancel, but then the rectangle disappears and deletes itself.How can I draw a plain old simple rectangle like I used to in prior versions of FrameMaker?

Is there a way to have the tables centered in HTML5 output? I have tried various settings and ways. I have gotten nowhere. PDF they come out perfect. Thanks

Hi all,We've had this ongoing problem where some cross-references work just fine in FM, but don't work in the PDF export (you can click them just like an x-ref, but they don't go anywhere). It seemingly does it at random, and it doesn't matter if you delete the x-ref and redo it, it always doesn't work for certain links.Any thoughts?Thanks,John

Using FM15, and every time I click the mouse to perform an action, FM seemingly hangs for anywhere between 30-45 seconds. Which is an eternity since I move quickly. Are there any specific settings I need to address to assist with buffering. I have 16GB RAM.

I need to convert .fm to .png file.Please let me know how to do it?

Hello,I have been looking for an answer to this question but haven't found it, yet.I want the page numbering for my document to start on the second page.Thanks for any help.Cheers,Elizabeth

Happy Friday!This is a simple problem, but for some reason it's still beating me.  I am not a FrameMaker Samurai yet, more like a brown belt, if that helps!Here's the scenario:I have 70+ Figure Titles with images right above them throughout the document, and in my Appendix section, I created a neat little Figure Reference table with the Figure Titles (Figure X-Y) in one column, and the description in the other column.  What I want to happen is for the user to click on a figure Title and be transported into the document where the title is placed at the bottom of the page, allowing the image to be viewed.  What's happening now that I don't know how to fix is that the target shows up at the top of the page when you click the link to it, so the image is on the next page above, out of sight.What setting am I missing here?  Happy Friday everyone!

I have a document (well, many documents) that includes print-quality images.When publishing to html5, the images are downsampled into jpgs (that's fine), but the quality is not as good as when I create my own lower-res JPGs of the images.So... where I have an anchored frame with a high-res image, I put it in a 'print only' conditional tag, make a copy on the next line and put the low-res image into *that* frame with an 'html only' conditional tag.Some of these frames are in indented paragraphs, some are not. I want the frames to follow the indentation level. I found that I needed to set the frame to be 'At Insertion Point' (if I used 'Below Current Line', I had to use specify alignment (left / right/ closest to binding/ farthest from binding), which are not appropriate).However, when I mark the paragraph (with the frame) as conditional ('html only') and publish, the image *right justifies* on the web page instead of left justifying at the indentation point (e.g. on a non-indented parag

How do I change the format off all paragraphs in a document with specific characters without effecting the rest of the paragraphs above or below the targeted paragraphs? Frame 11.If I paste Bullet format I get this extra paragraph:

I have some documents in FrameMaker 2017 and I am experimenting with publishing them as html5/app. They contain tables though, and the tables do not resize dynamically to screen like the text does, when I do the conversion. This makes publishing to both print and html5 awkward because the tables look narrow in print but ok on the phone/tablet. Have I misunderstood something basic here?Bjørn

I've updated FrameMaker 2015 and found an error when I tried to print a pdf (not able to update book). FrameMaker cannot generate PDF after Windows 10 April update (1803) Pictures below.

Hi all...I am facing difficulty in finding the "New Format" in Commands Pod in Paragraph Designer. It was easy to save my custom formats and apply the same in all my docs in FM 2015 Version. I updated to FM 2017 and I am finding it difficult to find the "New Format" in Commands. I recently updated to 2017 version. Also, I am not able to move the graphics tools horizontaly.  Please help.Thank in advanceBharath[Moved from the Forum Comments forum (which is for issues with these forums themselves) to a product-specific support forum - moderator]

I am having trouble using an SVG in a document.  FrameMaker seems to mess up part of the SVG when I import it.  Below is a picture of the SVG in FrameMaker and in Chrome.  It displays correctly in Chrome.  Any help or advice to make this work would be much appreciated.  Thanks,Peter

FrameMaker doesn't use "#" as a variable number of characters in the search. What can I use?Thanks in advance.Rog.

Element menu enhancementsA lot of new commands have been added in the Element menu to help you work more efficiently andeasily with structured elements. In addition, a shortcut key is assigned to all of these commands tohelp you perform tasks quickly. A list of commands in the Element menu along with their shortcutkeys is given in the following table: ...Either this doesn't work the way I want it to. Or I don't work the way Adobe wants me to. I place the cursor at an insertion point in the middle of an element (in this example before est😞I select the command Element > Ausblendung von Element und Gleichrangigen umschalten (in the english version it is called Toggle Element Collapse All Siblings). This is what happens:In one of Matt's books, the command is explained: Select element containing the insertion point. That's what I wanted to do and what FM has done. So, Matt is right, Adobe is wrong.The shortcuts are irritating, too: Adobe FM help: Esc E X (works), Matt's book: Esc

Dear expertsWith FM-14 (2017) I have discovered the following:Any of the 4 backups ($HOME\backup_2017.0.1, …2, …3, …4) contains only the following items:sub-idrectory in backup-dircontentsfminit\configui\, workspaces\, structure.fm ➔ no dllstructure\sgml\, xml\, samplesStructapps.fm, structapps.fmTemplatesWithAdobeFonts\structre\CQPreference.xmlAlthough fminit does not contain any backed up dlls, dlls have been exchanged in the process of updating. For example, fmres.dll:builddatesize3612017-01-182'842'7524062017-04-102'842'7524252017-06-142'843'7845002017-11-192'844'6645112018-03-082'836'992Now my questions (to Adobe) are:Where is the installation (update) log located?How can an update be undone with such a rudimentary backup?How are the dlls of a previous build reconstructed, if not available in the backup?Does an FM-update place information also elsewhere (then the backups)?Some insight into these mysteries are welcome!

Optional attributes may have default values, required attributes may not. Why not?

Hello everybody,I copied and pasted highlighted text from Word into Framemaker 2017 (the US version) and it shows up highlighted in Frame, just as it was in Word.Now I want to remove the highlight, but I don't know how.Who can (and is willing) to tell me the solution.Thanks in advance for your help.Carl from Holland.

I saw a few other posts on this. Seems like two column text frames do not flow well with HTML5. I want my HTML5 output to flow like my PDF. I am okay with the two column layout going into 1 column with the HTML5 output, but why is the Caution body text going above the text frame in HTML5? I do not see any text frame options under the HTML5 settings to try and correct this. HTML5 output is the left. PDF is the right.

Is there a way to find and replace \p\p with a paragraph type with an anchored frame attached? FrameMaker 11 unstructured mode.Thanks to all in advance.Rog.

Hi All,I wonder if a FM scripting solution could be developed to update text insets in a FM template file.The scripting solution must have similar functions as those of "Import text flow by reference" FM command and be able to check Master page name. If some conditions are obeyed, header or footer of each page must be updated.What are the scripting functions to use if available?All ideas ans suggestions are welcomed.Thanks.JM
