FrameMaker

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

Hi, where is get FM 9 version, I am planing for buy this in India for personal. Hope some send me links with India MRP price. Thanks

HiI am saving a FrameMaker file to PDF and want to search tables in the document for phrases/words that break onto two lines. The table text is set to not hyphenate because most of the command parameters contain hyphens, and I don't want to confuse the reader. However, I can only find the phrase when I search for the part of the phase that is on the first line.  In the attached example, I search for "user subscription charging ty" and find both instances.  If I search for "user subscription charging type", I only find the one instance - the phrase in the second column.  Acrobat seems to add a space when a word breaks onto a second line.I need to be able to search for a specific, complete phrase because many of the command parameters break onto two lines and it's a large document with many similar parameters.Does anyone know if I can correct this behaviour?  (I cross-posted this question to the Adobe troubleshooting forum).ThanksEmmaRunning FrameMaker 2015 version 13

Hello,I've set these, but did not include "Title".  But the setting seems to revert back in between saves...  Furthermore, is there some reason to use one or the other?  I find the font is at least different.Thanks in advanceRegards,Ben

I need to create accessible HTML output through FM 2017 since all our guides are already in FM so we cannot migrate to robohelp or any other HTML editor, because it may take too much time.There are few points that has to be considered while generating accessible output.Structure -  I see an error for the title element which says "Title" is not marked up as a heading but has Font Size (30.0px) significantly larger than that used on most of the page (17.2px). Check if this should be a heading (WCAG2 1.3.1). So how can we make it as heading by default?Language attribute - I can edit the HTML for this. But, if there is some method to implement it within the framemaker, it would be great.Table design - This is the major challenge for me where I need to create scope for each row and column header. The error for this looks like following:

When printing books in Framemaker 2017, I'd like to see the progress.Printing big books (many FM files) can be very time-consuming.I'd like to know which file FM is actually working on.But FM doesn't show the file (name) in progress. Or did I miss something?

Hello, all.I am using FM 2015 in a Windows 10 environment.I am creating a template that has three master pages:First: Contains one text frame ("Top") at the top of the page for document title and type variables, and one large text frame for body text ("Body"), which takes up the remainder of the page. I tagged "Top" as flow B, and did not autoconnect it. "Body" is flow A, and is autoconnected. The First master page looks like this:Left: Standard FrameMaker master page with untagged text frames for header and footer, and "Body" text frameRight: Identical to Left "Top" is intended to be self-contained. I want it to be obvious to any writer using the template for the first time, so they know where to put the title and doc type information.  I tagged it separately as B, and did not autoconnect it. If a document title overflows the "Top" text box, I would expect to see a black line at the bottom of "Top" indicating that my text was too lengthy. Instead, if "Top" overflows, FrameMaker i

In FrameMaker 12, how do you type greater than/less than/greater than or equal to/less than or equal to? For example, how would you type "less than or equal to 3" with symbols instead of words? Right now, my workaround is to create a new equation, pick what I want from the Relations group, and then drag the border of the equation box in until it covers the question mark on the left side of the equation.

Using Fm 14.0.4, when inserting a Go To URL hypertext marker, marker text of message URL https://forums.adobe.com/ works as expected in HTML output, replacing the source page with the destination.However, I can't figure out the marker text needed to return <a href="https://forums.adobe.com/" target="_blank"> in the HTML output.Which is unfortunate, because I tested this in Fm 14.0.0 and was able to use this string message URL https://forums.adobe.com/" target="_blank to give the <a href="https://forums.adobe.com/" target="_blank"> result I'm looking for.Has anyone done this successfully in 14.0.4?EXAMPLES with RESULTSmessage URL https://forums.adobe.com/ target=_blank returns <a href="https://forums.adobe.com/  target=_blank">message URL https://forums.adobe.com/" target="_blank returns <a href="https://forums.adobe.com/" target="_blank">Suggestions for referencing HTML entities in Fm markers greatly appreciated!!!!-Matt

Hi,We have upgraded to Framemaker 2017 from FM 10. It seems that some of the fonts that we had in FM 10 are missing.Myriad Pro LightMyriadPro-CondMyriadPro-SemiboldIs there any way to download these from Adobe?, as our templates are now substituting these fonts with Times New Roman.

The fig element in my dita topic looks like this:After I create an FM file from my ditamap, it looks like this:Why does the title change name and its position? Do I have any control over this? Thanks in advance.

FM 2017: the Table Designer will not change the background cell color in the header row. I can change it with the Custom Ruling and Shading but I want to change the Header background color for all of the tables in the document.

Seems like a crazy omission! Why is there not the ability to do a Find/Replace a variable with a variable? There is the ability to run Finds for a particular variable name (although you have to type in the variable name - why not have a drop-down list of all the currently defined variables so you can select the variable you want to search for?), but there is no option to replace a found variable with another (different) variable. In my particular case, a predecessor created variables that included product version numbers in the variable name. When a new version of the product came out, a new variable, with the new product version in the name, was created and applied to each occurrence of the variable for the previous version. That, of course, completely negates the purpose of variables! I'm trying to genericize these variables so there is one Product Version variable to deal with. However, having created the generic variable(s), there is no way in FrameMaker to Find the old variables a

It makes it easier to organize and track my variables.

I'd like to delete and rename a conditional tag simultaneously.An FM file contains two condition tags: Pro (for experts) and Light (for beginners).Now, the beginners have turned into experts, and I don't need the tag Light anymore.The information (formerly tagged Light) should now be tagged Pro, too.Is there an easy way to turn any Light tag into a Pro tag?Did I miss something in the Show/Hide Conditional Text pod or the Conditional Tags pod?Is there an easy alternative without converting to/working with a MIF file (and maybe damaging it)?

Is it possible to execute an Fcode through a Hypertext command? I want to be able to click on a Hypertext link in FrameMaker and have it execute an Fcode. I see this in the FDK Reference on page 800: FV_HypertextFcodeInvalid: Invalid FCode in the hypertext command. But I can't figure out the syntax for doing executing an Fcode in a Hypertext marker. Thanks in advance.

Hiya everybody, I'm pretty new to FrameMaker 2017 (and FrameMaker in general) and I have a small problem I'm trying to work out.I'm editing a manual made by someone else, and I have an illustration that has several "call-out" numbers on it referring to components of the widget referred to with this manual.  What I'm trying to do is to add a cross-reference from each of these text line callouts to the particular section of the book that would allow the reader to click on the number of the component in the PDF and get linked to that section of the manual.  No matter what I try, I cannot get a cross-reference to attach to the text line.What's the best course of action here?

In the Show/Hide Conditional Text pod the option Show if all Conditions Applied is a BETA option?Create a new file.Open the Conditional Tags pod.Create some condition tags, e.g. "Cond1" and "Cond2".Open the Show/Hide Conditional Text pod.Select Show as per Condition.Select the option Show if all Conditions Applied.Click Apply.Only the text tagged with every condition tag shows. So far - so good.Now the miracle happens. Save, close, and reopen the file.Check the Show/Hide Conditional Text pod.Show as per Condition is deactivated and Show as per Expression is activated. But not by me!And there is an automatically generated new expression called FM_Default Expression: "Cond1"AND"Cond2".(Btw: There is still an expression called Default Expression: "Cond1"OR"Cond2".)I can't find an explanation of this behavior - not in the FM PDF help, and not in the internet.Is Show if all Conditions Applied a BETA function? Will it be deleted in future FM versions?What's the difference between FM_Default

Hi, I have installed Framemaker 2017 but to my surprise it got installed in German instead of English. How can I change that?Thanks in advance for help,CMB

I have resized a photo in Photoshop down from 34" x 34" 72 dpi to the size I need 146 pt x 146 pt 300 dpi, and saved it as a PSD format to import into Frame 2015. When I import it into Frame, it is reducing it to 24%, even though the Width and Height show 146 pt x 146 pt, dpi shows 300.I have had this issue before and I have not been able to figure out why it does this.Hopefully someone has had this same issue and knows how to fix it.Thanks
