Dear all,I have a problem at exporting my FrameMaker book to HTML5. I work with structured FrameMaker (Version 2015). The export works well and the result is as expected. But only the table of content not. Either I can expand folders which are named like the files in the books. In there I can choose the chapters with level 2 headings. Or in some other cases I can expand the level 2 headings. In there I can choose the chapters with heading level 1 and 3. I wonder, where FrameMaker gets the selection and structure of the index for the HTML export.Thanks in advance for your help!Matthias

During development of my script I do not use the (established FM-)menu to invoke its functions, but normally test via ESTK.Of course I expected the same beahviour in using Notify whether I start the script via ESTK or directly out of FM.The very first thing the script (during development) is the presentation of a small dialog which lets me choose the function to be tested:Dialogue C, Dialogue S, Dialogue DS. The dialogues contain selection lists which are filled from items from the current document (e.g. the list of vaiables of type #calc). When Switching the document, a Notify function is (should be) invoked to refresh the content of the dialgue according to the current document.All works correctly if I start the script via File > Script > Run or from the Catalogue > Favourites:invoke Dialogue Cvariables are OK from documentSwitch documentNotify is invoked (alert)Variables are updated from document But this does not work correctly when starting from ESTK:invoke Dialogue Cvari

I am using a font called Horsham in Framemaker 12 on Windows 10. It came with 8 different weights but no italic. I had thought that I would be able to apply the Italic Angle in the paragraph or character designer as needed, but it's not available (only "Regular" is in the dropdown). I can apply italic to this font in other programs, like MS Word, and there are other fonts on my computer that don't indicate having italic variations in the Fonts folder, on which I CAN apply Italics.Is there any thing that I can do to make that font Italic in Framemaker 12 when I need to?

Steps to reproduce:1. Open any FrameMaker 2015 document2. Edit document3. Save document4. REopen document.5. Changes not saved.Especially annoying when doing import graphics, old one stays even after putting in new one.Current work around -edit document twice then save. Could the backup file be the problem? Is Frame creating more than one backupfile and therefore the backup must update first before the primary?

Dear friends!I do not remmber what I have done some days ago - global arrays are no more updated. I have cut it down to this mechanism:var arrayOfObjects = [];             // global ArrayUpdateA (arrayOfObjects);            // array is NOT updated$.writeln ("1) arraOfObjects = \n" + arrayOfObjects);UpdateB (arrayOfObjects);            // array is NOT updated either$.writeln ("2) arraOfObjects = \n" + arrayOfObjects);function UpdateA (gArray, someotherStuff) {var locObject = new Object();    locObject.Name = "A";    locObject.Item = "Something";    gArray = [locObject, locObject, locObject];$.writeln ("A) gArray = " + gArray);}function UpdateB (gArray, someotherStuff) {var locObject = new Object();    locObject.Name = "A";    locObject.Item = "So

Hello, we already had this Problem with the Framemaker 12 and we upgrade to 2015 because we thought, the problem is fixed. If we create new conditions as a conditional text and then formats and assigns, FrameMaker crashes. The problem occurs in existing documents where already conditions assigned.I already create a Bugbase and sent this Problem to fmerror@adobe.com but I did not get a response. Can somebody help me?Thank youZsanett

I created a template with Heading3 instead of Head3 - same properties just different name. I deleted all of the paragraph formats, imported the new template, updated the headers. Head3 remains persistent in the document. I cannot clear the check box for NextParagraph so that there is no required next paragraph. It just will not remove itself from the document period. I have tried removing it from the catalog and it does delete the format. But there it is still in the document. Any thoughts?

hii'm relativliy new to Framemaker 11. but i need to change the layout and add more titles.I allready added the new title to the edd. but some how the elements are not updated atomataclly.so i startet to open each element and adding the new format manualy to its variable, but that will take me probably a other week of work, because there are so many ;-(.it would be awsome if it would be possible to update all variables with the same name in each element at once.im looking forward to your answers.best regardsbeat

When I print a book from FM 13 (File > Print Book > Printer: Adobe PDF), the resulting PDF always defaults to opening at page 5. I can adjust the PDF File Properties to correct this after it prints, but I suspect there is a default setting I am missing. When I use Adobe PDF as the "printer" from programs other than FM, the resulting PDFs correctly open at page 1.I have already set the following from inside FM: File > Print Book > Printer: Adobe PDF > Generate Acrobat Data > PDF Setup > Open PDF Document on Page 1

Looking for these two fonts. Frame is being picky. ThanksThe "TimesNewRomanPSMT" Font is not available.  "Times New Roman" will be used in this session.The "TimesNewRomanPS-BoldMT Bold" Font is not available.  "Times New Roman Bold" will be used in this session.

Hello All,          I am having some issue while creating PDF from FrameMaker book. It is creating only a TPS file, but not PDF. I tried the trouble shooting options from adobe site. But nothing worked.I opened all the documents in the book before trying to create the pdf.This issue started after I tried updating TOC. That time I got the error "Show/Hide setting for is inconsistent in <filename>:.To solve that issue I followed the below steps for each of the documents in the book:On the 'Special' menu, clicked 'Conditional Text'.In the 'Conditional Text' dialog box, clicked 'Show/Hide'.In the 'Show/Hide Conditional Text' dialog box, made the condition tag same for all the filesThe errors disappeared but after that I am not able to generate PDF file.Please help me on this issue.

FM15 started messing up for me. It wants to refresh slowly line by line and before it is refreshed, it starts over & over & over. It can take up to 30 minutes to refresh a page. If I save, copy, cut, page up/dn, etc. it starts all over. I rebooted my computer once but nothing changed.

Hi,I've been using Frame forever, and I've had version 12 (12.0.4.445) for a long while.  When I first enter "\x15" in a variable, everything works correctly.  When I click Update in the variable dialog box, "\x15" is replaced by "\+" in the variable definition and, in the body text, the hyphen is there and it is non-breaking.  Everything looks good.But, if I click Update a second time, the hyphen is replace by "+" in the body text.  No hyphen.  The variable definition still appears as "\+".  Why is it suddenly treating "\+" as a literal plus symbol in text and how do I make it stop?Thanks,--Jeff Gansberg

I cannot figure out why FM is omitting a specific file from the HTML5 output... I just got a new work computer, and this wasn't happening on the old one (using the same .sts file). Any idea how to ensure all files are being added to the output?

Friends, Romans, Countrymen!Lend me your ears! [Shakespeare: Julius Cesar]During testing a script wich has a notification It is necessary to uninstall it every time before it is run again (after some modification). Doing this via the script catalog is at least time consuming.If I do not do this, then old code may be executed and the Data Browser shows items which are no more in the script...I even have to start FM and the ESTK again and again during the tests. In the Notify function it is also not possible,to set a breakpointto use $.writeln.The only feedback functions are alert, Alert and Console. It is, however, possible to set a breakpoint in a called function. Since some of them are called from the Notify function I need to place several...I have tried to place the unregistering code at the Cancel button of the dialogue the functions of which I'm testing:wPalDS.g1.Cancel.onClick = function () {  wPalDS.close();  Notification (Constants.FA_Note_PostActiveDocChange, false);

What does Internal Error: 11024, 21101821, 21093447, 19354980 mean and how do I fix it? Frame has crashed 7 times so far today - makes it difficult to get work done.

All of a sudden, some people on our team cannot generate TOCs in FrameMaker 2015, while others still can. We could all generate TOCs without a problem until this week (at least, this week is when we noticed the issue). Are there any known issues with the 3.1 update that was released in April (I believe)?When we select Add >> Create Standalone TOC, FrameMaker creates a TOC file and adds it to the book, but the file is completely blank. When we try updating the TOC file, nothing happens. When we try to create/update TOCs with other books and templates, same thing.Other folks are able to create/update TOCs with these same files. We haven't been able to determine what the difference is that's causing the issue.Those of us with the problem all seem to have FrameMaker 2015 version 13.0.3.495 installed. But at least one person who has that same version installed can create/update TOCs. (We're all on Windows 7, 64-bit.)Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,jason nich

I am the IT responsible at our company and we have 2 Framemaker subscriptions that 2 of our users have and use. I have asked the support a couple of times if we can either pay per year or even better have the invoices emailed directly to our erp system.The support could not help me with this and i cant describe the irritation of the users who have to be alert and forward the email every month so it gets paid and now during vacation time.........How hard can it be to send an invoice for a year or change the invoice email address?Very frustrated admin.

As soon as I insert a table I get  the following error. Thanks  for your help.

I was using the publish to APS feature in FM 2015 and it seems to be fine with small books (<10 files) or a small chapter file<10 pages. I have set the paragraph format Heading2 to break up the chapter into smaller chunks, but now FM just crashes continually. I tried other output options and all of them now crash FM. I liked publishing to APS because it generated a nice individual HTML file. FM is getting too frustrating to use as an authoring tool. Nothing seems to work as advertised except basic functionality.

I made updates to my manual, saved the book and now my TOC displays as red text with lines through the text (like marked changes).  The TOC has duplicated with this red text/lines 8 times (its now 34 pages) and the bottom of the page shows the normal TOC. I can't figure out how to fix this. Can anyone assist?

Hi all,the cross references in a set of FM documents were lost in the translation process so the sources and the published PDFs contain plain text parts such as "see chapter 4.6.2.1". I imagine that theoretically a script could search for such text snippets and the automatically link them to the corresponding headings - does anybody know a solution for this? Robert

Dear Experts,How can I extract the string "=?utf-8?B?LDvGhsLCBGcmybYk?=" between the coding markers?Currently, I am able with the help of code likestartText = activeDoc.Find(startText.beg, findParams);to find the exact start and exact end of the string and I have created the TextRange Base64Text.With the instruction activeDoc.TextSelection = Base64Text; I can highlight the text in my document.I have tried further with Base64Item = activeDoc.GetTextForRange(Base64Text,Constants.FTI_String);Base64String = Base64Item.toString();But still I am not able to see the string in the object browser of the Toolkit.Note that I don't use the method GetText because the string is only a part of the paragraph.Thank you for advices.

It has happened three times on my computer, and twice on my co-workers since we've upgraded from FM9 two months ago.  We are not experiencing any crashing or freezing at all.  Sometimes we are not even actively working in Frame.  It's just open, and when we return, the pods will all just be completely gone, causing us to have to reset all of them from scratch.
