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

I want to subscribe monthly (purchase option) framemaker.It is possible in www.adobe.com (US) but there is no subscribe option in korea (www.adobe.com/kr)How can i do this?

After upgrading to Windows Version 1803, OS Build 17134.1, I was unable to print postscript as a PDF file using FrameMaker 2015 (File > Print). Please help me.

Hi,I tried searching this out and did not come across anything. If I create two small pages, let's say the first page is Warranty information and can be used across 20 product lines. I create a new page about Testing Information, this can be used across 5 product lines. When I place these pages into a book format and print, how to I get them to flow onto one PDF page?Should I add the first 1/4 page to the book then import the second 1/2 page? I am using FrameMaker 2017 unstructured template. Thanks,Justin

Hello,Above is a screenshot of my TOC file. I'd like the "Chapter 1" line to be a little farther away from the "Table of Contents" line above it. However, when I click in front of "Chapter 1" and hit Enter, it breaks the hyperlink. Is there another way to do this? Below is a screenshot of one of the master pages, in case it helps.

Technical Communications Suite 2.0 correctly shows up on my Registered Products page along with its serial number. However, the computer that TCS2.0 was installed on is defunct. (I do have the readable HDD from that machine, which contains the installed TCS2.0.) The original installation CD has been lost. This 2.0 version of TCS includes Photoshop, which I need to install on the new machine. Everything else I need is in TCS4, which is already installed on the new machine, but Photoshop was included only in TCS2.0—hence my need to recover it. There is a web page that covers this situation ("Download product versions 2015 release, 5, 4, 3.5, 3, 2.5"), but it appears to cover TCS2.5 and above, not TCS2.0.I can see two paths forward in this case, and I don't know how to do either of them:(1) Find out how to do the download/reinstall procedure outlined in the above-referenced web page for TCS2.0 (includes Photoshop).(2) Port the installed TCS4 (or just Photoshop if possible) from the old de

I'm hoping someone can help.I'm working on a project, and they would like the first paragraph of a single text quote left un-indented, but the second paragraph to have "normal" indentation.I haven't been able to find a way to do this, as changing indentations with the ruler/other workarounds seem to only affect the top/first paragraph in the quote. Thanks

I'm building a multi-document book -- a manual for a piece of equipment -- and I just discovered that I need to add a few more sections in one of the documents to explain a few more procedures.My document is left to right on the pages.  I know I'll have to redo the TOC, but I'm OK with that.I need to add a 2-page spread in a few places to add these procedures and corresponding images.  I cannot for the life of me here figure out how to add two pages in the middle of my document to do this, I'm going to have to do it a few times for the few procedures extra I need to add.  I tried carriage-returning to give myself some space, but I have anchored frames with images and details all over the place and that didn't work.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

How can I import and activate a .gif  file into FrameMaker 10?

Is it possible to generate an XPS file from FrameMaker, which also contains Bookmarks?Printing to 'MS XPS document Writer' does result in an XPS without Bookmarks.In MS-Word you can use Export to XPS and select Options, Buttons; this result in Bookmarks in the XPS-file.Gert Zwart, Technisch Consult Zwart

This is the second time I have signed up for a subscription to The Technical Publication suite. Both times, I cannot access my serial number. It does not show up in the serial number column under my products. Where is it? Why is it so hard to get my product installed?

(Using Framemaker 13.0.5.547 on Windows 10. Checked if any Frame updates are pending -- none are listed.)Win10 insisted on loading an update today and when it did, I encountered the issue where Print Book won't work when I choose the Adobe PDF printer. Annoying, but I can live (for now) with saving the Book as a pdf.However... I just tried to Publish the book to html5. This was working the last time I tried it (a month ago).Now... when I publish to html5, images are not being published:- if they have any annotations using tools from the Graphics Toolbar (e.g. lines and text lines).- if they are .ai files- Note - These were the first two types of images that I found aren't publishing - I haven't checked other image possibilities yet.[edit: Changing the Publish Settings (the .sts file) - Image Settings makes a bit of a difference. I de-selected 'Use Distiller to Generate Image' and republished. Non-vector image formats (e.g. .png, .jpg) generate (with or without annotations), but at redu

When we do HTML5 from FrameMaker, the hypertext links don't work. When we do Frame to PDF and then from PDF to HTML5, the hypertext links work. Is this something that is covered in the training or how do we get the hypertext links to work?

My company is new to outputting this way, and we own both options, so we are trying to figure out which is better for us. What are the differences in formatting options?

I have a bunch of color images in my FM document.  Is there a way to easily make them grayscale, so they will display on-screen and in hardcopy in grayscale?  I don't want to have to do it in the process of printing or PDFing the document. Thanks!

(Win10 + FrameMaker 2017 14.0.0.361)Following on from my publishing issues earlier yesterday, I decided to see if using Frame2017 would yield a better result.It .... didn't.Now when I publish the book to html5, I get prompted to view the output. Click the option and the browser opens and... displays the following message in italics and nothing else: "There is no topic layout page in this screen layout"I've googled in vain trying to figure this out.I made sure:- my selected Settings file is correct.- the Settings file is using the correct .slz file in Manage Layout on the Publish Settings 'General' tab.- the Settings file has imported the correct CSS file in Manage CSS on the Publish Settings 'Style Mapping' tab.Has anybody seen this happen before or know what step I'm missing?Thanks!

Is there a way to save the paragraph/character format tag I create in one FrameMaker 2017 book so that I can use them in other documents and books as well?

I have been printing to PDF forever, Yesterday, I needed to print a page out on my home printer. Now I'm getting an error message   "Cannot print because the selected default printer is not compatible with FrameMaker. (Cannot query escape 768.)Adobe PDF is selected as default printer both in FM and for Windows.Restarted FM; restarted computer; reinstalled FM and latest patch. Still same error message.I have docs that I need to get out today and I cannot seem to fix the issue.Thanks,

Dear community,What bothers me is the page numbering in the toolbar of the PDF Reader. In my documents, the TOC is Roman numbering and the rest is Arabic numbering, however the toolbar does not display iii (3 of 900) nor 1 (20 of 900) for the first page of the first chapter. Instead it displays 3 (3 of 900) and 20 (20 of 900) although "Use logical page number" is checked in the preferences.The documents I publish are made from a *.book with several components:First component: Title page with copyrightNext component: Table of contentFollowing components: The chapters and an indexI suppose I have to set some sort of properties somehow somewhere in here:book.PDFPageHeight = 297 * 185771;book.PDFPageWidth  = 210 * 185771;var comp = book.FirstComponentInBook;while(comp.ObjectValid()) {    var openParams = GetOpenDefaultParams ();    var i = GetPropIndex(openParams, Constants.FS_UpdateXRefs);    openParams.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoOK;&nb

When placing .svg in FrameMaker 2017 they appear bad and they print bad. Is there a setting FrameMaker that needs to be set to handle .svg. The fonts are loaded?thank you

I have been trying to add consistent indentation to my headings in TOC as seen below. H1 headings are a topic and H2 heading are the subtopics. The image below is a Microsoft Word document.The same I need to mimic in Adobe FrameMaker but it just isn't happening. Here's what I end up with:I have tried adding tabs and editing the reference page, but the H2 heading ends up at the right side or either looks horrendous. Can someone help me with this?
