FrameMaker

I'm using FM2015 to generate PDF's for a 350 page user guide. All images (about 100) are Illustrator files linked by reference.I have to use "Save Book As..." to generate PDFs since we use CMYK colors and "Print" only generates RGB.The distiller settings for images are Bicubic downsampling to ZIP, 100 ppi (any smaller and the image quality is unacceptable).Resolution for the rest of the doc is 100 ppi.Fonts are set to embed all (which I have to set for the different fonts to render correctly).The resulting file size is 18MBytes. The similar format from InDesign (used before FrameMaker) was 5MBytes.I have tried saving the PDF as postscript and then regenerating PDF, which makes the file smaller, but removes the links from the TOC, Index, etc.Does anyone know how I can get the file size down without sacrificing functionality in the final PDF?Thanks in advance

Several of my TOC files have hypertext links that stop after only a few characters. Is there any way to correct this?For example Hypertext in Bold:TOCChapter 1 ........... 1-1Chapter 2 ............ 2-1Chapter 3 ........... 3-1   A. Sub-Chap ... 3-3

I'm using FrameMaker 10. My PDF TOC links aren't working. When I go the TOC.fm page and click on the chapter pages, I receive an error message "Cannot find the file named C:\Users\Username\Documents.... Make sure file exists."  I tried replacing my TOC.fm  file from another book with a working TOC, that didn't work. Any ideas?

FM 2017 allows the insertion of 26 different hypertext commands: Insert > Hypertext.Some questions belonging to two commands:Message ClientThe text field of the Hypertext pod shows: message Why not "message openfile filename" as in previous FM versions?Multimedia Object LinkThe text field of the Hypertext pod shows: command value Why not "multimedia objectId type command value" as in previous FM versions?

Hi all,We're on FrameMaker 2015 on both Windows 7 and Windows 10, and use FrameScript to perform various tasks, among them writing to the console when something fails. This all has been working fine for two years. We use the structured interface.We have recently had to reinstall FrameMaker due to multiple crashing issues. With this new install, the FrameMaker console (a text file located at C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\13\consfile.txt) is always empty. It used to always populate on FrameMaker launch  with various messages, for example:Unable to find the structured application 'DITA_1.2_reference'. Please check the settings in ditafm.ini. Also, ensure that the correct structapp file is being used.Unable to find the structured application 'DITA_1.2_glossentry'. Please check the settings in ditafm.ini. Also, ensure that the correct structapp file is being used.Unable to find the structured application 'DITA_1.2_glossgroup'. Please check the settings in ditafm.in

"Package" feature does not include Insets or Fonts folders is it does in other Adobe applications. Is there a cure for this?TIA

Hello,if i want to create a PDF, sometimes the error message "Unknown exception in the EnumerateFontFamily-Routine. Restart the computer" comes.I can't find anything useful on the web. Does anyone know this message?Best regardsJohannes

Hi Adobe Customer Care,I reported to you about the issue that tracked changes cannot be accepted properly. I made changes with FM Track Text Edits enabled. After accepting all changes, I found some parts I had deleted with change tracked were not deleted after all changes were accepted:Version with changes tracked:  Version with changes accepted:The deleted parts could be accepted properly only when I selected a small scope, for example, the paragraph. You asked me to upgrade my FM to the latest version. I did that but the problem persisted.You asked me to copy the content to a new file. I copied content with changes tracked to a new file where Track Text Edits was disabled. It seemed that the problem disappeared. The texts above showed a final version and looked ok in the new file.However, tracked changes jumped out of the version that looked final unexpectedly from time to time.Track Text Edits is very useful for showing updates and document reviews. I hope that the bugs can be

Hello,I am working with DITA in FrameMaker 2017, I have a question concerning the use of a stepsection element in a task topic.I am trying to use the stepsection element nested in a steps-unordered element to introduce an unordered list. But the result is not what I expect to be.My structure view looks like this : taskbody     steps-unordered          stepsection               p          step          stepBut as a result, the paragraph is bulleted and is considered as the first element of the list. The same stepsection nested in a steps element works fine since I am able to add a simple paragraph above the steps to introduce the procedure. My structure looks like this : taskbody     steps          ste

How do I prevent the chapter number of a file in my book from appearing in my running header? I can't figure out how to delete it from the master pages, and it seems like the Chapter Number variable isn't being used. What I really want is to be able to change the word "Chapter" to "Appendix" for just this one file in the book.

Hallo zusammen,schon immer müssen wir FrameMaker-Benutzer (Version 12) in unserer Abteilung jedes Mal manuell diesen Haken entfernen, wenn wir etwas ausdrucken wollen:Weiß jemand, ob es dazu irgendwo eine Einstellung zu setzen gibt? Im Menü "Bearbeiten" > "Voreinstellungen..." ist dazu leider nichts zu finden.Vielen Dank schonmal und freundliche Grüße,Peter

I have a 25 x 19.5" size document, and I'm attempting to scale down the width to 10" (to 10 x 19.5"), but every time I do, I receive the "Resulting columns would be too narrow" error below:I'm sure I need to adjust column layout settings, but I don't know what I need to do to get the desired result.  The document is two pages, with page 2 being the backside of page 1:Anyone know how to fix this?Thank you!

Hi Scripters, I want to offer some advice to those seeking scripting help. First of all, this forum isn't too busy, but there are some extremely helpful people on here. If you follow this advice, it will make it easier for willing people to help you.One of the most important things you can do when solving a scripting problem is to isolate the problem to the smallest possible unit. For example, if you are solving a problem with tables, don't post code that processes all of the tables in the document. Isolate the code so it just works on the selected table. Or, if you are trying to apply a condition format to paragraphs, don't post all of the code for processing all of the components in a book. Instead, isolate your code to work on a single, selected paragraph. When code is isolated to small units like this, it makes it easier to test and troubleshoot. And when it doesn't work, it makes it easier for other people to stage things on their computers so they can see what is wrong.In general

The following shortcuts do not work:Ctrl + F5 (Show/Hide conditional text)Ctrl + F7 (Select same condition tags)Ctrl + F8 (Select same character format)Ctrl + F10 (Select paragraph)Shift + F2 (Go to previous view)Alt + F5 (Anchored frame)Alt + F6 (Toggle between document windows)Alt + F7 (Copy conditional text settings)Alt + F8 (Copy character format)Alt + F9 (Copy paragraph format)Alt + F10 (Copy table column width)Were they deleted in FM 2017?

Hi,I have a FrameMaker document that is displaying our company logo that is located on the master page, on one page only, 21, it has the text around it so it looks like it's been anchored. I've tried deleting it and re-adding it but it doesn't work.Any ideas anyone? Is this a known bug? I'm using FM version 10.Thank you.

The cross reference is displayed twice in Published Responsive HTML output. Even though the content is coming properly when you generate a PDF. When i Checked the attributes of the cross reference the ID is coming twice, however i am not able to remove the ID. When i remove one ID, save and close the document. On opening the document again, the ID comes back.Please refer to attached screenshots for clarity. Thanks in Advance!!!3rd point in below image has a screenshot from published output.

I have a few questions about scaling a JPEG (or other raster file) in FrameMaker.One of the other technical writers at my company, who joined our company recently, thought that the sizes of our PDFs were pretty large. He thinks that this may have something to do with the size of the JPEGs in our FrameMaker files. When we started looking at JPEGs in FrameMaker files that I created last year, I became confused.Here's what I am seeing. Let’s suppose that I want to import a JPEG that is 5 x 2.5” at 300 ppi. I set the W x H x ppi in Photoshop and crop the JPEG.I create a 5 x 2.5” anchored frame in FrameMaker. Then I choose to import the JPEG by reference into FrameMaker.When FrameMaker imports the JPEG, a window appears to ask about scaling. I choose to scale the graphic at 300 dpi (I'm a little confused about why this isn't ppi, but that's perhaps a tangent).I assume that the JPEG should be 5 x 2.5” in the document. In essence, I don’t want the dimensions or resolution to change when I imp

I'm working on a catalog in FrameMaker. I'm placing a searchable PDF into my document but when I file>print that content is no longer searchable. What is the correct way to import and export so that stays searchable the entire time?[Title abbreviated by moderator]

Posting this again as I marked the original as assumed ansered when in fact it is not.Hi, I wonder if anyone can help,I have a company logo on my master page that is displying randomly on just one body page. I can't edit it in the body page becuase obviously it is a master page item. Has anyone ever seen this or have any suggestions as to how to get around this? I've tried deleting it and the surrounding text but just the text gets deleted and the logo remains. I am using Framemaker version 10, structured. I looked in the structure view and I can't see the offending logo.Any help would be most appreciated,Thanks,Clare[Branched to new thread by moderator]

I have some documents in czech in FrameMaker 12. When I print to pdf the documents converts all right, but when using "save as pdf" all arial fonts are replaced with Times New Roman and the entire process seems to use a lot of time and computer memory. The Save as PDF always have been buggy, but some of my customers apparently seems to need this feature. How does one troubleshoot the strange behaviour of font replacement ?Best regardsBjørn
