FrameMaker

Guten Tag, mein Problem ist Folgendes:Ich importiere eine Grafik in einen verankerten Rahmen. Wenn die Grafik kleiner ist, als der verankerte Rahmen, muss ich die Grafik immer manuell auf die richtige Größe ziehen.Gibt es eine Einstellung oder einen Shortcut, der den Rahmeninhalt (also die Grafik) automatisch auf die Größe des verankerten Rahmens anpasst?Vielen Dank für die Hilfe.Viele Grüße,Torsten

In FM 2017 (14.0.3.500), I can't find the new Resize Table Columns dialog? It's not in Table>Resize All Table Columns.

I am trying to create a link from Framemaker to a pdf document. I would like to go to specific pages rather than just the first page of a document. Is anyone aware of a way to do this? Thanks for the help.

Prior to FM 2017, we could open the Edit Variable dialog box, and it had two options: could either edit the existing variable, or use the edit to create a new variable (~ make from).That feature seems to have been removed. The only method I see for creating new ones is the Add button , Creating variables that have similar definitions is now quite TEDIOUS.Did I miss something? Is it hiding somewhere? (Already poked around FM and Google searched, and did a brief search through the answer database here.)

A workaround is to put in a nonbreaking space but that might affect line breaks in an unwanted way.

With our custom structured application in FrameMaker 2017, insertion of an inline element, in this case a //defterm, followed by the entry of text, should result in the text being italicized.  However it does not.  If the //defterm element is selected, and then in the Element pod, changed to a //defterm, the text is italicized.  Alternatively if the text is entered, selected, and then //defterm chosen in the element pod, the text is italicized as expected. The italicization in the EDD is provided by a Font Properties element (PropertiesFont).  It looks to me like the EDD rules are being applied correctly if I look in the Show Element Context pod.  However FrameMaker is not applying the Angle for the PropertiesFont. This image () shows the text where the italicization should occur but does not, and this image () shows the correct italicization.I have tried to recreate the problem using the sample Business structured application by using a PropertiesFont to chang

I'm making a table for a wiring diagram that requires table cells to be color coded. Using unstructured FrameMaker, is it possible to fill an entire cell with color?I figured I'd change the font color to white to offset the color.

Hi everyone, We're upgrading to new hardware and FrameMaker 2017 and are seeing a few display issues. Our environment is as follows:Microsoft Surface Pro (the latest 2017 one) plugged into Microsoft Surface DockWindows 10Dual 4k monitors - 3840 x 2160 resolution, 200% DPI scalingFrameMaker 2017 Version 14.0.2.425In the Structure View, if you start typing on a line that already has text, multiple letters start jumbling over each other:Clicking somewhere else and clicking back on the line fixes it. Some window’s text is really tiny and remain unaffected when increasing Windows DPI scaling, such as this Insert symbol window:Also notice the FrameMaker icon next to File is really small. These issues are resolved if I do the following:Right click FrameMaker.exe and go to PropertiesClick on Compatibility tabCheck ‘Override high DPI scaling behaviour’ and select ‘System’ from the drop down. Click Ok. However, although this resolves the above issues, fonts everywhere are terrible quality. They

Creating the TOC and List of Figures for a book takes 30 mins PER generation, no mater the number of documents. Why is this so slow?? (FM 2017)

Hello, I am having an issue when converting my FM 2017 documents to responsive HTML5. Pictures are displayed center-aligned in the middle of the topic, instaed of being left-aligned. I found out that this is associated with conditional text tags. If the text has some conditional text, it shows the issues for pictures that are in that paragraph.I am using FM 2017. I see the issues in old documents (FM 12) and new documents as well. The common factor seems to be the conditional text.Thanks in advance,Fabrizio

This note is an FYI to describe the solution to a Frame12 error I encountered.On launching Frame12 by double clicking on a .fm file, the response was "Internal Error 12044 21794484, 21794778, 24739173".  A search of the web turned up no information on this error.After discussion with Adobe Technical support, the conclusion was that there was a corrupted preferences file.  The solution was to delete the following three folders:C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\12C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\LinguisticsC:\Users\[username]\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\LinguisticsDeleting these three folders appears to have solved the problem.These folders are all rebuilt automatically when Frame is launched.  The support person tells me that I lose nothing by deleting them and allowing Frame to rebuild them.-Paul

Hi,Need to know any sbcriptions plans for print & publishing products Or any plans involving print & publishing products with Illustrations Productsplease reply at the earliest 

Who can explain this absurdity?When I publish an HTML Help file, some pages show an image of text where an anchored frame ought to be.I have seen this error on different pages in the output file, and the only way I can correct it is to convert the text inset to text (which means I have lost the benefit of the text inset).

Adobe Framemaker Bookmap has an icon at the top of the bookmap to "Switch To Document View".   When you click on that button, it switches the bookmap to a document format.  The only problem is there is no button to take you back to the tree view.  I have had to shut the file down and re-open it in order to get my bookmap back.  Since the "Switch To Document View" is at the top of the tree, with other options, I have accidently pressed it several times.I don't know why Framemaker creates these black holes in the user interface.  Can anyone tell me how you switch back to tree view after you go into the Document View?Thanks!

The table variables are buggy, depending on the zoom, i.e. the table continuation:Zoom: 100 % (Cursor at the end of the table title text, placed directly after the table continuation variable)Zoom: 80% (Cursor at the start of the table title text)Zoom: 80% (Cursor at the end of the table title text)Without the table continuation variable, the cursor is at the intended place - whatever the zoom may be.Is this bug in the English FM version, too?

In the last 20 years, FM has undergone lots of revisions.Every FM user knows the shortcut to refresh the screen: Ctrl+l (small L).Why is there still the need for this shortcut?No automation possible?

In some portrait-oriented chapters, I am about to make long and wide tables that are multiple pages in length. I'd prefer to have them be landscape-oriented.I found a forum reply that says once a table is rotated, it cannot be edited. Is that always the case? Years ago, I thought there was an easy way to do this in FM 6, but then I didn't use FM for several years, and am now trying to work my way back into FM, using version 12, a very different animal.Do I have to create all of the tables squished into portrait orientation, and then only rotate them just before I have to create PDF output files? That would be a nightmare, because these will be tables that require fairly regular editing.Thanks,Michele

Hello,I'm cleaning out a bunch of old paragraph formats in a book, and then I'm adding in new formats. I did the first document in the book by hand so that it has exactly the formats I want. Several of the formats have new names, as well as new settings.Now I'm copying the new formats to the other documents in the book. However, if I simply copy them, this does not remove the old ones from the other documents. So instead, I'm removing all the old formats first (even ones that have been preserved in the new set of formats), and then copying the new ones from the document I changed by hand.Here's the problem: there are nearly 100 formats in the old format list. I can't find a way to do one "remove all formats" operation, so I have to click "delete" for each format. There are 22 documents in this book. That is a lot of mouse clicks. The upper joints of the fingers I use for the mouse are already developing arthritis from too many mouse clicks! In this age of repetitive stress injuries, wh

I would like to know if there is a way to use framemaker as a command to generate an output such as a pdf file without opening the framemaker UI.For example, I have already created a book file using framemaker.Now, a part of an overall product release, I would like to be able to execute the framemaker command to "process" the book file and generate the desired output such as a pdf file as specified in the form of a command option.Is this doable?Any feedback would be appreciated.

HelloI can't import svg files in fm document when svg files are located on my computer (I have a message saying that the filter can't finish the conversion), but I can import the same svg files when they are located on a network. I don't understand why... .I use Version 14.0.0.361 (2017 release) of Framemaker.I don't know if it's connected to my problem, but I have 2 different ID : one for the Adobe creative suite and another for the technical suite.Anybody can help me?Thanks

Scenario: We have a team member updating a FM document for product A Release 1. We have another team member updating the a copy of the same document for product B Release 2. The FM document is a common configurations document to both product A and B.Product A releases before product B. The first version of the FM document will go for product A Release 1. To ready the document for product B Release 2, I want to merge content from my copy into this.Question: A simple copy and paste would address this. But is there another smarter way to merge content from 1 .fm file into another?

Why do I get an error message stating that FrameMaker can't open the .tps file when I try to make a PDF from a .fm file. It worked originally.

Fellow Forum Members,Does FrameMaker offer a S1000D specification publishing solution that includes a Common Source Data Base (CSDB)? And outputs an Interactive Electronic Technical Publication (IETP) as well as a PDF?  Any info will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance
