Is Acrobat Pro DC compatible with Frame 11? I'm in an office with a number of Frame 11 licenses. Sys Admin just updated our Acrobat to Pro DC and we're having persistent problems with both applications.

Can anybody help? This has been happening for the past two days whenever I try to update a book. It seemed to crash when encountering a cross-reference, which I deleted, but it still thinks it is there and continues to crash. I sent the log file to fmerror@adobe.com, and I also found something in this forum that sounded similar, but there were no specific instructions on how to fix it -- something to do with structured versus unstructured? I am on Windows 7 Pro. Thanks!

Dear friends and experts,Until now I always had at least one document open before I started my script. Now I first started the script (File > Scripts > Catalog > scriptname > Run) just after FM start. The effect described also happened in the past during debugging and I attributed it to forgetting to unregister etc. But now I just 'work' with the script.The following happens randomly after having open one or more documents.As soon as I want to open a panel (via shortcut or from the menu) the script reportsError Message      : Unable to create WindowScript, Line#   : E:\_DDDprojects\FM-calc\FMcalc\FMcalc_dialogC.jsx,  14The referenced script line is this or similar:  wPalC  = new Window("palette", goTxt.wPalC, undefined);Each test is a separate start of FM, then starting the script, then opening the first document.Test 1:  One document open; error after first invocation of panelTest 2:  5 documents open; after each

I am using a trial version of FrameMaker 2017. I find that the cursor and other keys do not work. Is this a limitation of the trial version? The document is ok when loaded to FrameMaker 2015.

For a work in Adobe FrameMaker I have to use some characters out different code pages of a font. (z.B. Griechisch and Cyrillic).

Can anyone please help meSystem:Windows 7Adobe FrameMaker 2015Aktiv Grotesk (Font)

FRAMEMAKER 2017, UnstructuredI need to pick up the value of a previous paragraph tag and put it on the following page, along with some symbols and text. I would like to set this up as a paragraph tag, if possible.For example, top of page 1 has the title "TITLE A". On page 2, I need to place "< TITLE A continued >" (using downward triangle symbols in place of the angled brackets I've shown here). Then, say page 5 has a title of "TITLE B", on page 6, I need to insert "< TITLE B continued >" - preferably with one or two clicks which will automatically change A to B and insert the symbols. Please see attached example. Any help would be appreciated as doing it manually with a cross reference is prone to error. Thank you.

I don't see it in my preferences. Anyone else see it in 14.0.0.361?

When (if ever) might FrameMaker make it into part of Creative Cloud? It would be soooo nice to use it as part of that subscription. And add-on subscription maybe?

I'm trying to plan for the best way to single source or reuse our content. Most of our content is different but we have login instructions for our applications that are the same for all apps. That's the easy part. We can write those instructions in a separate document and use it when we build the books for each app or use a text inset. But we also have applications where a unique transaction ID is selected when logging in. How do we write common instructions for all these apps where only the transaction ID is different? I was thinking we could use a variable in a text inset, but it seems like each name-value pair is unique and I can't define a list of values for the Trans ID. We would need to maintain many separate variables? We could create an inset leaving the transaction ID blank, then convert it to text and change the transaction ID, but we want to single-source our content in case the login steps change--not just reuse it.

Hi All,Given a selected element anywhere in a document:var doc = app.ActiveDoc;var element = doc.ElementSelection.beg.child;I can touch every element in the tree using a function like this:var elements = getElements (element, /^xref$/, []);function getElements (element, nameRegex, elements) {    if (element.ElementDef.ObjectValid ()) {        if (nameRegex.test (element.ElementDef.Name)) {            elements.push (element);        }    }    var element2 = element.FirstChildElement;    while (element2.ObjectValid ()) {        elements = getElements (element2, nameRegex, elements);        element2 = element2.NextSiblingElement;    }    return elements;}This particular function traverses the selected element

I need dashed lines in a table, so I have inserted them using the graphics tool and drawing dashed lines where I want them.  They look fine in FrameMaker, but when I print a PDF version, the dashes have tiny downward "hooks" at the beginning of each dash.  How can I prevent this?

I have created an ExtendScript which is used to install structured application definitions the first time that a script is run. Here's what it does:Opens a copy of a structapps.fm file that contains the required XML application definitions.Creates a backup of the local structapps file.Opens the local structapps file.Delete any XML applications with names that match the new XML apps.Copies the new XML apps into the local structapps file.Reads the structapps file using fmDispatcher, saves and closes the files.This all works very well up to a point. Where I have a problem is with the insertion point for the copied XML applications. I want to insert them directly after the <Version> element.I can do that when there are other following <XMLApplication> elements. However if there are no following elements it inserts the copied elements before the <Version> element which is invalid. Here's the code:function copyXApps(localStrappDoc, sourceStrappDoc){    var c

We are a group of authors creating and updating user manuals in Framemaker, but working across to sites.All necessary files are located on one server and for authors in that location, there are no performance issue.  Authors located on the different server experience serious file lags and delays working with books.Does anyone have a suggestion to overcome this problem - to give improved Framemaker performance for all?Thanks

No further details than what was stated in the question.

I would like to setup automatic comparison between documents in TortoiseSVN, but I would need some way to do it from the command line.The TortoiseSVN settings window looks like this for other file types and I would need some way to specify to document paths and file to open them with. Does the FrameMaker.exe provide any command line parameters?

I just upgraded from 2015 to 2017 FM - and the lowest 3rd of my welcome screen is always missing.I did a complete uninstall/reinstall and it didn't seem to fix the issue.All other features seem to work as expected - it just looks ridiculous and I can't use the shortcuts from that portion of the welcome screen...Anyone know what's going on here or how to fix it?

I am trying to create a cross-reference to the title of a different chapter in the same book. Instead of the text of the chapter title as a link, I get this bit of text:<<$paratext>”Here are the settings in the Cross-Reference panel.If I click Go to Source, I am linked to the correct page. I don't know why I don't get the correct text, though.
