FrameMaker

Anyone know why the text in this table is dropping below the bottom of the page? Its crossing over the page# and footer line at the bottom, instead of continuing on to the next page. When I continue entering text it drops below and I can no longer see what I'm typing. I need it to continue on the next page, like a good table should do. Help.Brett

We use FrameMaker for desktop publishing of traditional tech manuals.  We have recently begun transitioning to SVG for illustrations, as we often develop web applications (interactive electronic tech manuals) in parallel, and SVG is fully supported by modern web browsers.  Unfortunately, we've had several issues with SVG in FrameMaker:Inserted SVG images lose styles if SVG <style> node does not include type="text/css" attribute.  According to the W3C spec, the default is "text/css", hence this is extraneous, and therefore some applications omit it.Other applications with SVG support do not seem to have this limitation.We are working around this issue by adding the type attribute to the <style> node prior to insertion in FrameMaker.FrameMaker requests DPI settings when inserting an SVG.  We find this peculiar, since SVG is a vector format.  Our best guess is that some sort of calculation is taking place between width, height, and viewbox attributes.W

Hi All,In the Paragraph Designer, for BulletIndent, when I try to remove the tab stop, it does not delete. When I try to create a new tab stop at 1", it appears for a moment, and then disappears. Is there a fix for this issue? The same thing happens when I try to create a new paragraph tag. The tab stops won't delete/set.

Hi there,I've come across what seems to be unusual behaviour when wrapping part of my structured footnote into a “footnote italics” element and I am hoping that somebody can explain to me what’s going on. The screenshot below shows the final text:And the screenshot below shows the structure of one footnote element:Finally, this third screenshot depicts what happens when I wrap part of the second footnote to a “footnote italics” element:The wrapped element has a character format applied to it as specified by the EDD, but the rest of the text in the footnote element (which uses a 'footnote' paragraph format in the EDD) reverts to body text. Changing the footnote element to a footnote element corrects the formatting (and leaves the subelement in italics), nevertheless I would still like to understanding why it is happening in the first place...Best regards,Adrian

I use structured tables in my documents for information boxes. Recently, I've changed their structure, adding a header row, renaming the element, and using a different format tag. When I change the element in a document, it does so, but doesn't add a header row automatically (though does in part implement the new format tag) -- is there some way to do a global update of all information boxes (so that they include the newly created header row)?Also, just to note the new style information boxes (again which are implemented as structured tables) are different elements to the old style information boxes (to solve some naming consistency issues). I was (perhaps naively) hoping that changing the old element names to the new element names would implement the formatting tags associated with the new elements over the old elements (and insert the header row)...

If I have the 2017 perpetual license (trial) version of FrameMaker, can I successfully share files back and forth with someone who has the subscription license version?Thanks.

Working on a utility to maintain the user dictionary and the site dictionary I discoverd a severe problem with the latter:At the start of FrameMaker the site dictionary is (if old format: converted and) imported to C:\Users\User\AppData\LocalLow\Adobe\Linguistics\UserDictionaries\FMSiteDictionary\all\added.txt. This replaces the previous content. The transfer, however, does not take over hyphenation points. This is independent of format (old, new, with/out header). They are set anew and may create very strange results - just an example:Word in the site dictionary as deined in maker.ini: Gesamt-farb-s\x8at-ti-gungWord in the 'internal' dictionary file : Ge¦s¦a¦mt¦far¦bsätti¦gung (the ¦ depicts the hyphenation code \x02)This makes it impossible to maintain the site dictionary.I have filed this as bug FRMAKER-3201Pleae vote on the bug reort to give it more impact (last button to the right).Klaus Daube

I have a 42" screen That lost its scaling so that now I have insect size menus Icons etc. but huge menu lists, dialogs etc. The whole thing was working perfectly untilsomething fell on my keyboard and reversed the desktop.We had a similar problem with my sisters 40 inch monitor but this was fixed by an adobe support person.  They basically went in and changed some display settings in windows registry.  Now, Adobe simply stopped offering technical support.  I have tried turning off things in windows and changing things there but those solutions don't work for a large screen.  The trick is in the scaling in the registry.  I remember an article that detailed the steps for this fix but I can't locate it on the internet anymore.Does anyone have that information? I am running windows 10 with FrameMaker 12.  When I first opened up FrameMaker 12 on the new huge monitor I was afraid of the scalling problem but it opened up perfectly, weird.

Dear Experts. I am having a FM Doucment which contain lot of tables in it. All of these tables were imported from a MS Word file. After importing I resized the column and rows using the below codes but I am seeing few issues in the tables. Please guide me to solve this problem.Script is executing perfectly but I am seeing few problems in the table. Please see the image's below.1.  In Few tables I am seeing that space between the letters is not unique. 2. Some other tables the column size is too small.With RegardsAghil.M

I have been having this problem with Frame 8 as well as in 9. When I generate my PDF, my bookmarks are not all where they should be. The will not always appear in the order of the pages, and they will be listed under other headings. An example would be, if I had 3 top level tags and each one had 5 things listed under them, When I generate, I might get 6 bookmarks under the first, 4 under the second, and 5 under the third, instead of five under each one.I have done everything I can think of, and cannot come up with a reason why it is doing this? Any ideas? I can always send a section to someone so they can actually see what I am talking about. At this point, I am not 100% sure if it is Frame or Acrobat, but I am leaning towards Frame.Thanks

Is it possible to print flyer of that size with a few pages. I want to print it and I also want to read it on the computer, so the program or the printer should order it by itslef.

Well I guess I have something to add to the list of things to test for next time we upgrade Framemaker.....We manage much of our content using text insets.  We upgraded from Frame 12, where (and in every other version prior to that we've used text insets) you could go to File > Import and it would also list other open Framemaker files for an easy import into the main document.  Either my eyes are missing it, or is that feature gone?  That was always a huge timesaver in not having to go through as much of our network structure to easily import another Framemaker file as a text inset.Is there a reason this was removed?  Is there a chance we can get it back???

I am using Font Awesome for displaying images in the content and only placeholder appear when Mobile App is generated. It works fine in HTML5.

FM17 seems to go into a constant state of not responding when opening, closing, or manipulating files. I just selected a group of files to open and it decided to open files that I did not select. Please do an update soon as the software is unusable in its current state. It takes waaaaaay too long (5 min or longer) to open or close a group of more than 5 files. And I agree with Jim Wiley, the interface is too small, doesn't scale properly on my laptop no matter what resolution I make the screen or using the Windows 10 troubleshooting wizard for compatibility.

I cannot validate my PhoneGap Account with my Adobe User ID from Framemaker 2015 > Mobile App generation Dialog. Logging in to Phonegap directly via Internet Browser with my Adobe ID works fine.

I'm using FrameMaker 10. My book contains 4 chapters.  When I save as PDF, all of the sudden the Bookmarks thatshould be under Chapter 2 are now showing under Chapter 1. I've searched for help however can't figure it out. I've seensuggestions to fix the Paragraph tags, or via "PDF Setup" to fix the "Include Paragraphs/Don't Include", or fix the MasterPages. I'm nervous about those changes since the other Chapters are working fine.

I have a lot of imported graphics that appear normal in FrameMaker 12, but when I open the document in FrameMaker 15 they turn pink! The Facets in the object propertiessay FrameVector and GIF.

Hi,I am returning to FrameMaker after many years of using a different tool, and have a question about MIF.  We are going to start using git to do software and documentation versioning.  I am well acquainted with git and think that it is a very powerful tool.  But the power comes when you are saving text files. You can then to diffs and merging and all that great stuff.  So I loose a lot of git functionality if I save my documents in fm format.So I'm wondering if I could just save all the documents in MIF and never use fm.  Are there any gotchas here?  Any reason why this would not be a good idea?Thanks for any insight you have!

Is there a way to create a variable, or paragraph format for a figure caption that displays sheet X of X?  I need something to work similar to the Table Sheet variable.

Hello, I've gotten my responsive HTML output just about how how need it, but when I go to search, the results display the file name (no extension), not the topic name. Is there somewhere in the settings that I can tell it to display <$paratext>?Using nonstructured FM 2017Thanks

Hi All,I want to use Smart Paste to copy and paste a small snippet of XML content to my FrameMaker document. Is there a tutorial or some documentation available on the Smart Paste feature? I can look at the DITA Smart Paste stylesheets, but they are large and hard to decode. A small example that I can adapt to my use would be great. Thank you very much.Rick

Hi, we want to publish FM documents to "Responsive HMTL5", but struggle with the wrong display of special German charcters (like ä,ö,ü) when displaying the result in various web-browsers.What settings for encoding are recommened to obtain flawless result. Thank you.

I am trying to update my color definitions in Framemaker 11, but I can't get my color pallet to display my new custom colors in the graphics toolbar. I've gotten this to work before. I followed the exact steps outlined here: http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2012/10/managing-color-libraries-in-framemake.htmlAnd while I'm at it, it would be nice to clean up the color choices available from the graphics bar - is there a way to do that?Thanks for any tips!Cheers

I have FrameMaker 11 on Win10. The index marker "T" symbols no longer show in my documents. View Text Symbols only toggles the paragraph symbols on and off. The index markers used to display but now they don't. Any ideas?

I want to know if there are any known issues with running Frame 2017 on a Win 10 OS? I am having issues w/generating an accurate PDF which is my main deliverable. The writers I work with are on Win7.
