FrameMaker

I have also tried this in FrameMaker 8. But the results were same. I am creating screen shots in Photoshop CS3 and place them into framemaker using Anchored frames. But the border are not applying. In object properties it has been set to 1.0 pt. After producing pdf image looks hanging with no borders. To rectify this I tried manually adding borders to the graphics file (1px) but after importing and producing PDF the border looks uneven. More thicker on left and top borders. Please suggest resolution. Thanks in advance I am using GIF,TIF,PNG changing file format doesnt help

How do I get my custom master pages to display in the the Master Page Usage dialog?

Using the frameMaker 2017 version, we get xml files from other departments, but since upgrading from Fm10, the straight quotes are giving problems.As shown, the quote sits on top of the letter c. We can change them manually, using the typographical quotes, but that cannot be the solution.I've been looking around in the help file, but I didn't find an answer.Someone on the forum who has any suggestions?

I have a couple of appendices that use conrefs. These appear correctly when I open the doc in Frame, but some of them (not all, it is inconsistent) do not appear in the generated PDF file.Is anyone else seeing this with recent versions? Is there a known issue, here?I saw a similar thread thread here, but that was from 2010. It involved Frame 8 and tables. I am using Frame 2017 and the format is just <ul> items in body text.Any advice will be appreciated.–Randy Clark

I have Windows 7, and have been using FrameMaker 2015 as part of the Technical Communication Suite. It is the only application in the suite that I have installed. Suddenly, it will no longer launch and give a message "Unexpectedly Quit".I tried reinstally. No luck.Then I tried uninstalling before reinstalling. No luck.Then I tried uninstalling, reinstalling and restarting. Now the program starts okay.But after I downloaded and installed the update for 2015, FrameMaker again stopped working.After another uninstall/reinstall, it is working, but without the update.Is there a fix for this so that I can run it with the update installed?

I have a book that I am trying to generate Responsive HTML5 output. FM15 crashes every single time no matter what file I use as the source. My book is less than 300 pages and I tried it with a smaller (75 page doc) and it crashes. In fact, generating any output through Publish crashes FM every time.I have a fresh install with all the updates added to it. But everytime I use the Publish feature, FM crashes.Any thoughts?

I have a huge unstructured FM document, which contains a lot of Index markers. These markers exist in different chapters (files) of a book. I've created a variable, which is already applied and used in "body" of all files. However, I cannot find solution of adding such variable to Index markers. Will anybody help?Thank you in advanceKind regardsPavel Noga

Every time I come back to the FrameMaker Developer Center page, I find it frustrating that it is not a link on the main FrameMaker 2017 page Adobe FrameMaker (2017 release)-For XML/DITA Authoring & Publishing.  Instead you have to find your way to the FrameMaker Help resources page which you get to from Adobe FrameMaker Learn & Support.  I know you can bookmark the page and it is a simple URL to remember, but why make it so obscure?

Are there any known problems (with updates, please!) regarding creating a PDF from Framemaker 12 book file on Windows 10? None of the files in the book will save as a PDF -- no error messages; just nothing happens. I was able to create a PDF from a new document (not in the book) with no problem, but when I try Save As PDF to any files in the book, it creates a 0 bytes pdf file.  Has anybody else seen this and/or have a solution? I had a chat session going, and then Chrome kicked me off. . .

Looking for advice/resources/suggestions on how a guy would go about producing an interactive encyclopedia or technical manual ap from framemaker files for all devices.I'm imagining an interactive interface that would organize the sections graphically rather than your standard layout.  For example, for a repair manual all the sections could be organized or housed within a graphic image of the product that would allow the user to touch/click on some part of that product and up would come that section of the manual.Years ago I had done something along this line in Flash, but this strictly for laptop and not all that robust.  Was no where near the volume of material that I'd be looking at now.Was thinking about doing the same thing in Adobe Animate, which is basically HTML5 Flash, loading up Html files produced by Framemaker whenever anyone clicks on them, but wasn't sure if this was the right product for the job.Is there another approach I should be looking at?

Hi--I want to attach text to change bars to show when a change was made to my document; i.e. I want to add the text "17" next to the change bar to show the change was made in 2017. There are already change bars in the document with "14" next to them to show the change was made in 2014 edition (shown in image below). Thanks! --Andy

Hi, All.I've been trying to fix my EDD for days and cannot get it to work correctly. I'm working in Structured Framemaker  12.0.4.445 and will be publishing in PDF.My goal is to format all of my procedure steps through the EDD as opposed to pointing to paragraph formats. Here is what I'm trying to accomplish:1.2.     a.     b.          1.          2.Instead, I am getting this:1.2.     a.     a.          1.          1.It seems like I have tried everything! I'm sure it's a really simple fix, but I can't figure it out. Also, I can't change or add any elements without written permission from God, so I have to work with what I have. Below is the step portion of my EDD.Thank you for you help!!_______________________________________

Hello,I am currently working on a template, with 10 FM files - working with FM 11 on Windows 7. From file 8 to 10 there is a bug where the autonumbering does not work and resets to 1. When I remove files 6 and 7, the autonumbering works again for files 8 to 10. Of course I have been through the right-click document > numbering routine, and set my page numbering preferences to "Continue numbering from previous page in book". I have even checked the volume/chapter numbering properties.I also re-created a new book, but the same thing happens.Could anyone advise me please ?Thanks in advance.

Dear all,A script to read an entry from an ini file fails although the file exists and can be opened with any editor - also the entry exists.I have used this routine in other circumstances without this problem - coming back (after a detour to another script language) I do not understand...Line 23 opens the file (or has it a problem?) - how to diagnose the problem?The While is skipped and the error message is issued.// FM-dict.jsx#target framemakervar appdata    = app.UserSettingsDir;             // %appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\<version>var FMdictDir  = appdata.replace (/Adobe.*/ , "D+DD\\FM-dict");$.writeln (dddDir)var iniFile    = FMdictDir + "\\FM-dict.ini";$.writeln (iniFile) // C:\Users\Klaus\AppData\Roaming\D+DD\FM-dict\FM-dict.inivar currentPrj = GetIniValue (iniFile, "currentPrj")var currentDir = GetIniValue (iniFile, "currentDir")$.writeln (currentPrj + " = " + currentDir)function

I have a book with a whopping 948Kb of .fm files and a couple of full-page .eps graphics (diagrams). It normally distills to around 1.8Mb of .pdf, but I've not been able to distill it today. I suspect that the problem is, not enough space on the network drive where the source files live. How can I get a reasonable estimate of how much space I'll need to distill this/a book? so that I can start arm-wrestling with corporate support to be allowed enough-and-a-bit.Thanks in advance for any help. FM12, in case this makes any difference.

I’m trying to create a template that can be used across the board for our unstructured operation and parts manuals (FrameMaker 11, Windows 7). Currently, the look of all the manuals is nearly the same, but the setups have been done by various authors, such that some page layouts use variables while other use hard text, and not all the same variables/paragraph tags/etc. are used, or in the same manner. Additionally, the use of conditional text is deeply ingrained in all the manuals. It's a mess that I'm trying to correct.I’ve been working on (slowly but surely) trying to get uniformity in the all the manuals, not just for good publishing practices, but also so that I can apply scripts that will react the same across the board.My latest challenge is trying to create a footer that reflects the model of equipment. Currently, this is done by having a string of all the current models in a product line in the master page footer, each tagged as conditional text. The book’s TOC controls the sho

A brand-new anxious question from colleagues, after they discovered that a .pdf someone else has produced had the language property set to French while the text was visibly in English; it seems a screen reader offered some quite distressing noises …I've opened .pdfs from two pretty well equivalent .book files (FM12) and checked Properties > Advanced: one of them was already set to English, the other had no language setting at all. My question, then, is "what's the easiest way, OOB and without plugins, to make sure a .pdf is created with English as the language property".Thanks in advance! in all the few languages I could say that in :-}

I've been using FrameMaker for years (currently using the 2017 subscription version), but this is my first foray into generating HTML output. I am so far out of my depth with this, that I'm not even sure what to ask exactly, but here's my best shot:I was hired to make some updates to a dictionary of terms for PDF and HTML output. I inherited the files in FM 9 and converted them to FM 2017 with no obvious errors. To generate the HTML output, I just clicked through File > Publish > Basic HTML. When I viewed the output it looked good to me and looked and behaved pretty much like the current version on my client's website.But I've now been asked to change some things in the HTML output: For these files, could you please change the following:<p dir="ltr" class="FM_Dictionary_Term"><a name="HT_aaa"></a>AAA</p>Change all p tags with the class=”FM_Dictionary_Term”  <p dir="ltr" class="FM_Dictionary_Term"> to <h3>Remove all a tags with the name=”HT
