I followed instructions from another thread to import elements from my EDD to a template, but it didn't work. Only one of the elements from the EDD shows up.I opened both the template and the EDD, then used File > Import > Element Definitions to bring the element definitions into the template file.The "chapter" element is the only element I see.I'm using FrameMaker 10. Not sure what I'm missing in this process.

Hi.I used Adobe Creative Cloud Packager to create an installation for deployment (SCCM) on Windows 10 x64. However, it fails to install. It looks like most of the files are getting installed into the installation folder, but then an error occurs, and the install rolls back.The error message in PDApp.log:09/14/17 10:11:48:087 | [FATAL] |  | ASU | DeploymentManager | DeploymentManager |  |  | 2276 | The return code from the Adobe Installer Process is (7).Stopping the installation process.09/14/17 10:11:48:087 | [ERROR] |  | ASU | DeploymentManager | DeploymentManager |  |  | 2276 | Media Failed (FM14.0)I've downloaded the media multiple times, choosing both x64 & 32 bit, modifying download options (leaving all as default), but no joy.The computer I use to test has Adobe Reader 17.09.20044 installed, but no other Adobe products.I've searched but not found any answer to my problem - the error message is hardly helpful

I'm an editor of an industry journal, and got corrections back from an author. He wanted the numbering of footnotes changed. I've attached a screenshot below; he wants the "17" changed to a "15" but I'm not sure how to do that. I'm hoping I can do this and the numbering is automatically changed for all subsequent footnotes.By the way, I work primarily in Word, so appreciate any FM help. Thanks!--Andy

Hi all,As mentioned, I am fairly new to the structured FM. I  have a table in my content. The table was formatted correctly; however, when I apply the structure to my document, I am getting the following error. Please see the attached image. What should be fixed here and how to go about fixing it. If anyone can walk me through fixing the error, I'd highly appreciate it.

Using Framemaker 2017 - can you active a Character Tag upon "X" like you can with nested styles in InDesign?

Can anyone tell me why one of my team members is getting this error. (Internal Error 14004, 14470178, 17032391, 17028791.  FrameMaker detected a serious problem and must quit.  This is after saving the file book.  Also, this is an older file we're working with, which FrameMaker 2017 should still work with older files.ThanksKerry

FM is crashing when I am population a list of items in a scrolling list display. I think it is due to the number of items, around 1000 or more lines and it crashes, otherwise it works fine.Is there a hard limit on the number of items displayed? Can it be overridden or is there an alternative similar display method?

Hi all,I recently started using the Structured FrameMaker. One thing that has been confusing is that how do I address/resolve the messages that EDD file log shows. What am I doing wrong and how should I go about fixing the issues. Any help, tips, or suggestions are highly appreciated. Thanks,Ahsan

I have a document that was initially on version 7 and am now working in 2017.  I need to modify all of the TASK and Subtasks in the document from exp. "TASK 20-07-00-99F-873-A" to "TASK V20-07-00-99F-873-A" and also modify xref tags the same way.  In Version 7 it would allow me to just modify the TASK text but now I am not able to highlight or modify the TASK.For the xref it allows me to highlight but I cannot make any changes. Below is an example of what I am working on:If I attempt to select the TASK it highlights the whole TASK document:

When i run the Spelling Checker in FrameMaker 11 document, it checks the body of text, but will not catch misspelled words in my tables.  Is there a switch somewhere that is not checked?

This should be simple, but I am wracking my brains trying to figure this out.I simply want to take a text range and remove any character format override (CTRL-I or CTRL-O) and remove the override. I am thinking I need to create a special PropVal variable, but I am trying to figure out how to do this properly.Thanks,Marc

I have Framemaker 12. I have a variable and I want to apply a conditional tag to some of the text to show/hide. Can this be done? I'm very new to using Conditional tags. Thanks

I had someone from Adobe call a user and ask about their Trial of Framemaker 2017. The Adobe rep was able to tell them how many Frame documents were open at the time of the call.  What can Adobe see when we are using their products?

I have a licensed version of Adobe TCS 2017. I noticed that for some reason Adobe CC keeps crashing resulting in the system freezing.Is Adobe CC required when working with RH, FM, Presenter, Captivate? can we uninstall Adobe CC and still work normally with Adobe TCS?

In responsive HTML5 output of Framemaker 2017, I can implement one glossary. I would like to implement two glossaries (one for abbreviations and one for terminology). Is that possible?

Hello,My company has a shared license* of TCS 2017 and starting yesterday one of my coworkers is having a problem with her license. Apparently, she ended up in trial mode somehow and her trial expired yesterday. She tried to add the license key to her account and TCS still showed up as a trial with 0 days left. She then reinstalled TCS completely, but it still won't take her license key (no error, but after the license key step, the installer simply asks her to log in again and enter the license key again, etc). No one else in the office has the same problem.If I need to contact support - how? As far as I understand, you can't simply send an email, you need to be logged in and have the product added to your account. Given that it's a company license, I doubt my boss will allow me to add it to my personal account... does he need to do it? Or is there a different procedure for this?* I am not sure if "shared license" is the correct term, but we basically have one key used by the entire d

I have somewhat limited vision which is especially bad with my high def monitor (2560x1440). Consequently, I set the size default in Windows (Change the size of text, apss and other items in Display Customization) to 125%. When I do this, FrameMaker does not properly draw toolbars or the status bar items on the bottom of the screen (like Zoom). Functionality works but you can wind up hitting the wrong buttom (like remove file instead of Update Book !). Document pages render fine.Anyone have a solution to this problem? Setting Windows back to 100% makes it a lot harder for me to see.This is not the only Adobe app that behaves badly but it is the worst of the ones I use regularly.Thanks for help

I have just filed bug FRMAKER-3497 pertaining to sorting a table by rows. It seems that regardless of which column I select in the Sort Table dialog box, FM 2017 always sorts by column 1. There's a test file included with the bug report which includes the following table:512425331244153  Sorting the table in ascending order by any of the three columns produces the same result, reversing the original order of rows.--Lynne

Hi, I want to fetch all Aframes information in an active doc whose layout has three columns for each page.I wrote the code below:#target framemaker  var doc = app.ActiveDoc;if (doc.ObjectValid() == true) {    var page = doc.FirstBodyPageInDoc;    while (page.ObjectValid()) {        var graFrame = page.PageFrame.FirstGraphicInFrame;        while (graFrame.ObjectValid()) {            var subcol = graFrame.FirstSubCol;            while (subcol.ObjectValid()) {                var aFrame = subcol.FirstAFrame;                while (aFrame.ObjectValid()) {             &n

Hello FM Community!Hopefully you guys could provide me with some much needed advice.We're looking at purchasing a new office PC, which would primarily be used as a dedicated PDF printing machine as the processes have been slowing down other applications on our current desktops (which are fairly lacking on processing power). I was aiming to custom build to get the most for the money, but I wanted to know whether a graphics card has much impact on DTP tasks and printing speed, or whether it's purely down to the processor & RAM. Currently our PC's are pushing out a fairly large manual at 6+ hours.. But after printing the same manual in a couple of other environments, we got the following resultsEnvironment 1 (office pc):           AMD A8-7600 Radeon R7, 10 Compute Cores 4C+6G @ 3.10GHz - 8gb RAM =  around 6 hours printing timeEnvironment 2 (laptop):             &nbsp
