FrameMaker

Hi, I'm using FM 13.03 and I'm trying to get the 2nd level number in a Heading2 tag to reset to 1 so that I get:1.  Heading 11.1  Heading 2Text & pictures2. Heading 12.1 Heading 2Text & picturesMy current tags are:Heading 1 = H:<n+ >Heading 2 = H:<n>.<n+>And they give me1. Heading 11.1 Heading 2Text & pictures2. Heading 12.2 Heading 2Text & picturesIs there a way to restart the 2nd number in the Heading 2 to be 1 when it follows a Heading 1 tag, e.g. in the above example it would be 2.1?

Nach Rechneraustausch möchte ich Framemaker 12 instatllieren habe aber den Key für die Version 11 (Update) nicht mehr

Hello all,May be I am missing something very basic here. But I am confused on the procedure of importing an image into FM by copying into document.Whenever I am importing an image, a pop-up window prompting for graphic scaling is shown. My first doubt is to choose which option in this?After reading through some of the posts, I started to keep the DPI 72 DPI and always used to keep the scaling in obeject properties 100%. But, at first, I didnt realize that the DPI and scaling are interdependent. So, after closing the FM file, when I re-open this, the scaling and the DPI were changed automatically!! Dont know how and why??? Is this any internal mechanism by which FM is auto adjusting itself the object properties or is it a bug?But, if I import the image by reference, the DPI setting window won't appear at all. So, is this setting automatic when it comes to image import by reference?I am not even sure whether I am following correct procedure here... Any help/ link to any other posts where

HiMeine Kollegin in ich Arbeiten mit FrameMaker 2015 (vorher FrameMaker 10). In der alten Version konnten wir Schnittmarken einstellen und diese Einstellung finden wir jetzt nicht mehr. Kann uns jemand helfen?

An equation that has a fraction inside of square brackets fails to render properly when I create a PDF.Here is the MathML code:<math>   <mrow>      <mo>[</mo>      <mfrac>         <mrow>            <mn>1</mn>         </mrow>         <mrow>            <mn>2</mn>         </mrow>      </mfrac>      <mo>]</mo>   </mrow></math>It looks as it should in the MathFlow editor and Frame WYSIWYG editor, like this:But when it is saved as a PDF it looks like this:By the way, if I use the same code but use paren

In Framemaker 12, I suddenly have lost the ability to use the "Paste Special" option. I see the option in the Edit menu, but when I try to use it, nothing happens. Regular paste seems to work fine, but I use Paste Special all the time! Any ideas on how to fix this annoying situation? Thanks!

Dear friends,Collecting variables in the order of their creation works fine for me:function GetVarsInDoc (oDoc, aDocVars) { //=== Fill the doc variables array with all found vars in Doc ======var oTR, oVar, sVarName, sValue;  aDocVars.length = 0;                            // clear array for new build up  oVar = oDoc.FirstVarInDoc;                      // the variable in the text  while (oVar.ObjectValid()) {    sVarName = oVar.VarFmt.Name;                  // name of the variable    sValue   = oVar.VarFmt.Fmt;                 &n

I have placed a table and now I need to place a png image right next to it that will extend beyond the master page text boundary. can you advise on how best to do this?see the images below for reference...this is what I currently have...this is what I need...

When I print a framemaker document to pdf the option in pdf Setup > Bookmarks > Bookmarks expanded through level will not allow me to select "none" or "default" etc. I can only select the number that is showing.

Open the PDF Setup: Format > Document > PDF Setup.Select the Settings tab.Now you can select/deselect the option Generate PDF for review only.Someone out there, to explain me this function? In simple words please. Thank you.

Starting with FM 2015, in the PDF Setup one can change the color mode of the PDF (RGB or CMYK):Open the PDF Setup dialog: Format > Document > PDF Setup. (It must be this dialog. Opening the PDF Setup dialog in the print dialog doesn't show the color mode option!)Select the Settings tab.Choose the color mode (RGB or CMYK).The RGB mode is recommended for RTL languages.My questions:Where is the link between the color mode and the language direction?I've learned, print vendors need a CMYK-PDF to realize a 100% true color matching on a four color machine. Isn't it true anymore?

Kann ich mit der Version 2017 auch Dateien für FrameMaker 10 abspeichern?

I have some files, created in FrameMaker 11 that my company wants translated into two other languages.  The translation company uses FrameMaker but cannot open these files, or MIF files in either version 7 or version 11 format.  Is there something that needs to be done to prepare these files for a FrameMaker instance that uses another native language?

Hi,I am new to Framemaker.I created a ditamap, and publish as a HTML5 output.but there was no TOC in the navigation bar.How to fix the problem?

I am running FrameMaker 2017 on Windows 10. Since I upgraded to Windows 10, I've noticed (sometimes) as I'm closing book files, the files close, but it (the book file) is still displayed in my FrameMaker window.This can be resolved by closing and re-opening FrameMaker. But why should I have to do that?

I want to apply a character format (italic, blue) to all fm-xref elements in a composite fm doc generated from dita files. I can't apply text formatting in the EDD to the fm-xref element. (I can apply it to the xref element, but this doesn't affect my fm doc.)How do I solve this?Thanks!

Dear all,A while ago (2017-01-23) I issued bug report FRMAKER-2240​Although all my scripts include the directive #target framemaker, and it is my habit to first open FM and then ESTK to start a script, the script runs into an error, because ESTK does not look at the directive. It tries to execute the script in ExtendScript Toolkit CC.The bug report is stil "To track" - imho a lazy excuse. Please vote if you have the same problem with this as I have.Klaus

I am using FrameMaker 2017 with the latest updates on a Windows 10 machine. Randomly when I try to open Object Properties it locks up FrameMaker requiring Task Manager to end the process. I try to constantly save so that I don't lose too much work, but invariably when I forget to save before opening Object Properties is when it decides to crash. Is there a workaround or a fix for this or do we have to live with this unbelievable inconvenience?

Dear experts,To be able to navigate to any variable in the document (used on any page type) I first collect all information about the variables. The arry elements are built by the prototype function (is this the correct term?) function oVariable (sName, sContents, oVar, bUsed, bSystem, oTr, sPageType, iPageNr, sPageName) {   this.Name     =  sName;                         // Name of variable  this.Contents =  sContents;                     // Contents of variable  this.VarObj   =  oVar;                          // Var object in document  this.VarUsed  =  bUsed;  &

I'm evaluating FrameMaker 2017 via Trial Version. We're currently on v11. The goal is to use the HTML 5 output to replace or add in conjunction with our PDF output for a large process manual. I can process and complete a small book contain 5 files, but when I try to run anything more, it locks up at the "post processing..." step. I found the working temp folder and it appears to convert all images and Framemaker files, but the job will not complete even when left running overnight. There is plenty of RAM and hard drive space available on the pc while it is running. Is there a limitation to the number of files that can be processed in the trial version? If not, are there settings that I can change to help it finish?Thanks,JH

I seem to be digging deep into areas of FrameMaker's ExtendScript Object Model that don't get much attention.In an EDD it is possible to define the auto-insertions that happen when you add a new element to a structured document. The auto insertions can be InsertChild or InsertNestedChild. I need to handle these insertions dynamically according to element context. Unfortunately this seems to be impossible with ExtendScript. In an ElementDef there are two relevant properties AlsoInsert and AlsoInserts. The first is an array of Stings and the second a Typed Val. It is not clear how these should work together to match the possibilities of the EDD structure. Has anyone made this work? I had a look at the FDK documentation but it's not very helpful.The FDK and ExtendScript documents seem to be giving different information which is unhelpful. The FDK reference does not include a definition for an equivalent to AlsoInserts. Any ideas greatefully received.Ian

Hello,In Framemaker 2017, how do I convert a document where two Paragraphs appear as one PDF Bookmark? In a document created with a table structure, we require the Paragraphs in column 1 and 2 to appear as one bookmark in PDF (i.e. Item # and Item Name).
