FrameMaker

I recently moved from FrameMaker 11 to FrameMaker 2017. One of my forms of output is PDF.When generating a PDF from a Ditamap in FM11, PDF bookmarks work perfectly, each pointing to the correct place in the document. In FM2017, however, the bookmarks all point to the same named destination, so all of the bookmarks go to the first page.Was there a change in FM2017 that might have caused this issue? Is there something I may have overlooked when adapting my templates and EDDs from FM11 to FM2017?

Hi Friends,          I need to copy all the texts from pdf and paste into framemaker without lossing formats using script.     Is this possible or not.      Please help me..

Issue: I do have big problems, creating Registration Marks in FM 2017.This is my current procedure for creating Registration Marks (I rely on Matt's book.):Create a new blank document. Check the paper size: Format > Page layout > Format. My document size is A4 (21 x 29,7 cm). Fine.Open the print setup dialog: File > Print Setup. Check the paper size again: A4. Fine.Click Properties to open the Adobe PDF Document Properties dialog. Navigate to the Layout tab. Click Advanced. Check the paper size again: A4. Fine.Click OK (3x). The Print Setup is finished.Open the print dialog: File > Print. Click Normal for the Registration Marks type.Open the PDF Setup in the print dialog. Navigate to the Settings tab. Click again Normal for the Registration Marks type. To preserve extra space for the Registration Marks, set the Page Size to 24 x 33 cm. Click Set.Back in the print dialog, uncheck Print to File. Click Print.FM pops up a message in German: 'Registermarken passen nicht auf das

If I use folders in my book to organize content and then generate the book as HTML5, there are too many levels in the sidebar TOC. I have a folder named Administration with a single file named Install and Configure. When I generate HTML5, it creates a top level folder Administration, a second level folder Install and Configure, then the hyperlink to the actual page is listed. Administration>Install and Configure>Install and Configure. Three clicks to get to a single page. If I remove the folders, then the content is generated correctly Install and Configure>Initial configuration.Two clicks to get to the page. OK, for smaller books that might be doable, but large command references which are alphabetized and contain hundreds of files, not doable. This is FM2017.

I need to inverse footnote reference numbers and punctuation. Does anyone know how to identify the footnote reference with Regex? InDesign uses ~F, but that's not working in FrameMaker.~Barb

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;  &
