If I click on the Save icon, it doesn't save. It only saves if I exit the document and asks if I want to save.

Hello, I have used change bars in FrameMaker so that reviewers can more easily find the changes made to a document. Sometimes the changes are rendered in the PDF, but sometimes not. Can someone explain to me: what the possible reasons are for this? what can I do about it? A big thanks in advance!Kind regards, Fred Gerke

I have a 400 page document that has around 2 tables per page.On the majority of these tables there is a footnote to explain what xxxxx means.Someone has changed the text fromxxxxx = The blah blah toxxxxx=The blah blahwithout the spaces.I want to get the spaces back - but if I do Find and Change it replaces the text where the footnote reference is on the table, and not the text in the actual footnote.Any ideas if there is any way to get around this.TIA

After working without a problem for over eight hours on files in the same directory, I receive the following message when I try to save a file: FrameMaker can't create a new file for writing

Why is FM crashing when I try to access the Preferences?I am trying to change the Spelling features and cannot access them.If I open the Spelling pod > Options, FM also crashes.I get the following message:

Using FrameMaker 2017 Structured Application S1000D_description_401 HOW do you enter the fm.title so that it is "Figure 1 (Sheet 1 of 10"?

I opened my documents and got a warning message, "Document named Chapter 2.fm uses unavailable fonts.  To reformat the document using available fonts, click ok." This same document now produces a .pdf file with white boxes instead of equals signs in my equations.  It also changes a few other symbols to white boxes.  I am not sure if these two things are linked but I would like help getting rid of the white boxes and getting my equations back to normal. 

It's horrible, the download never ends!it pauses alone, it resumes from scratch it never ends!Is there another way to download FrameMaker than the Akamai Downloader channel?

I clicked Edit Settings for Responsive HTML5. I opened the Edit Layout button and changed Show Glossary to false. However, when I publish the help, the glossary tab still displays. How do I remove the glossary tab? I am using FrameMaker 2015 on Windows 7.Thanks,Chris

Hello fellows,I've imported an SLZ file through the FM Publisher HTML5 Settings dialog and I set the following to False:Show IndexShow GlossaryShow FilterShow Search Results in...When I compile the HTML5, the layout still includes all these elements. I can't figure out why the layout settings are ignored by the publisher. Any ideas? I did the same in Robohelp, and the settings are treated as expected. I guess there is some nasty bug in the publisher. Thanks in advance!

I’ve been using structured (DITA1.2) FM11 w RH10 about five years with no issues until mid Dec where it crashed for one of 3 versions. The largest ditamap crashed, FM runs out of memory or generates No Topics. Nearly 900 Topics. All elements are valid. I took the entire ditamap and published each section at a time hoping to find the breaking point but each section publishes successfully. When I comment out one section, section X, the entire help except for section X generates. When I comment out everything except for section X, section X generates  help. Have I reached a file size limit? Are my settings off, could I have clicked a controlor flipped a flag somewhere?I had TCS2017 on the shelf, and I upgraded and it will generate the help in section but not the entire file. Adobe Support suspects a file in the ditamap is corrupt but that can’t be the case because all of the files work when I publish the files in smaller sections. The same files are in the user guides, and those gene

I am applying a new template to an already established template that has a catalog of paragraph tags. Is there a way to map the existing tags to the new paragraph tags in the new template after I've applied it to the document?

Hi all,I suppose something in the read/write rules has changed, but before digging into the issue I thought I'd ask the forum.We have migrated from FM2015 to 2017 and now images in paragraphs display very small. As you can see in the screenshot, this image is about 50pt wide but the size properties are ignored. Manual resizing is lost when the file is saved. Any ideas?

Having a thorny issue in FrameMaker 12 (unStructured). My F9 key to bring up the Paragraph Format pop-up no longer works. Indeed, my keyboard stopped working in Frame entirely. I've tried making sure the CAPSLOCK key is off, the F-lock key is in the right state, the document is not locked, rebooted, uninstalled / reinstalled Frame. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

In previous versions of FrameMaker, when you configure bookmarks in the PDF Setup dialog on the Print dialog, using Adobe PDF as the printer, it remembers the bookmarks the next time you print. Frame 9 seems to forget the bookmark settings. Or am I missing something that I now have to do in Frame 9?

When I produce PDF with Framemaker, the paragraph text in PDF are cut off by lines. Because when I copy paragraphs from produced PDF and pasted those paragraphs in Notepad, paragraph text lines are cut off.Is there a solution for this?I remember that with Indesign, I can chect "Create tagged PDF" to prevent paragraph text in produced PDF being cut off.

This is not a behavior that happens when I create a brand new FM 2017 document but in a legacy UNSTRUCTURED FM document that was created years ago probably with TCS 5. I'm currently using FM 2017 on a Windows 10 PC.When I import (via File>Import>File) the same Illustrator AI image by inserting my cursor in different parts of the document (i.e., when the image is anchored in different paragraph styles) I get images of different sizes.I'm pretty sure this behavior is somehow linked to the way different para styles are configured in my document but since there are not image-related variables/settings in Para Designer, I have no idea why this is happening and what I need to do to import AI images at their original (or fitting-in-column) sizes.Please see the images attached for your convenience. All suggestions are welcomed. Thank you in advance. UgurI can generate the same behavior in another location within the same document:

Hello fellows,I have a strange issue with figure captions defined in Framemaker as having a line under the caption ("Frame Below Pgf" property) . This line is retrieved from a frame on the reference page. The caption is set to appear above the figure. In the Publisher, the figure caption style is set to "Use Source Style". When I convert FM to HTML5, the figure caption is turned into <p class="FigureTitle">. The problem is that in the HTML output the figure caption is "split" into 2 <p> - the caption text itself, then comes the figure and then comes another <p class="FigureTitle"> that only contains the line itself (turned into a jpg). I can't figure out how to avoid splitting <p class="FigureTitle"> into two and keep the line below the caption itself. Unfortunately, the caption cannot be mapped to a corresponding HTML tag in the Publisher as there is no relevant tag in the Pgf mapper. Any ideas?Thanks! 

I've just upgraded from FM12 to FM 2017 with intent to utlize some of the new HTML publishing features. I have been publishing content from DITA source to HTML5 from FM12 successfully for some time now.In FM 2017, I have a very basic DITA Bookmap with only 2 short topics as a simple test setup. Every time I try to publish anything to HTML5 or simple HTML, FM has a hard crash and generates no output.I tried these same files on my other machine that hasn't been upgraded yet and they publish just fine.Any idea why FM2017 is crashing every time (100% without fail) I click Publish? Is there some step I'm missing in FM2017? This is a brand new, clean installation and all available updates have been installed.Thank you in advance for your help!
