FrameMaker

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.

Intermittently when I open the cross-reference pod to insert a cross-reference within a book, Framemaker crashes. Are there any patch updates that I am missing?Details are as follows:OS: Windows 7FrameMaker Version: 11.0.1.382Please help!Thank you!

Since I installed the latest FrameMaker 2015 update (13.0.5.547), I have had a problem in that when I update an entire book, the master pages apply seemingly at random within each book. Note that we have different Master Page templates for the front matter, chapters, index, and glossary.Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a workaround?--Laura

Hi,FM10 calls some notifications when Find/Change dialog is closing.But in FM12 there are no notifications called.Has somebody any idea how to handle this?

Is there a known way for Frame to handle HTML/XML character references ('>' and that sort of escape sequence)?

I am updating a medium-sized document. I need to correct the size of a drawing placed on a graphic. After changing about 10 instances, FrameMaker locks up. It shows garbage characters and locks. Sometimes I'm able to save my updates before I end the task, sometimes not. Due to this happening, I've frequently been saving, but saving the document does not prevent the locking.A similar issue had been happening in Frame 2015 and the previous level. I had hoped that it had gotten fixed - but maybe it hadn't been reported?

Hi everyone,First, I should say thanks for all the posts. It has definitely helped a newbie like me.I'm trying to import formats from another file. When set to import from the doc itself, it works great. I just can't figure out how to reference another file. Here is what I have (that's not working) :-}function ImportFormats(doc) {    var FormatFlags = Constants.FF_UFF_PGF | Constants.FF_UFF_FONT | Constants.FF_UFF_PAGE |           Constants.FF_UFF_TABLE | Constants.FF_UFF_COLOR | Constants.FF_UFF_REFPAGE | Constants.FF_UFF_REMOVE_EXCEPTIONS;        var FactsFile =File("C:\pg000_facts_table.fm");  doc.SimpleImportFormats (FactsFile, FormatFlags);    }\Thanks again!
