FrameMaker

Hello,As of today I can't re-dock pods and windows.Please take a look at the video bellow.I can re-dock the graphics toolbar (see at the beginning) but not the main window or the pods. Right click on the main window doesn't open any menu.Anybody has any idea why is this happening?

Using FM2015. I created a Responsive HTML5 help file. I used the standard "Azure_Blue" layout. I replaced the default logo.png file with my company logo. The logo renders quite small. I need to increase the size of the logo and its placement in the header.

FrameMaker 12 - Files already created now do not accept keyboard input. What gives?

I had an issue with Acrobat DC and in trying to resolve it killed my Acrobat XI Pro installation.I tried to reinstall Acrobat XI Pro, but it wouldn't take my TCS 5 serial number.I cannot find the TCS 5 installation to download. It is not in my various Adobe profiles (although I registered it). Can someone point me to the TCS 5 installer, so I can download it and fix my Acrobat issue? Thanks,Sean

In FM 12, I have this book:The Section1 and Section2 files are new to the book. Ever since I added them, both Chapter 1 (ch01.fm) and Chapter 2 (ch02.fm) generate/update as Chapter 1:Subsequent chapters after Chapter 2 are numbered consecutively, but they're all off by 1 (ch03.fm is Chapter 2 ... ch06.fm is Chapter 5).If I remove the section files from the book, the chapter numbers generate correctly. If I move Section 1 before Chapter 1, the chapter numbers generate correctly. So the issue appears to have something to do with inserting Section 1 in between chapters 1 and 2.Chapters 2 and 5 both appear after a section file. The numbering properties are set identically on all tabs in both files. Yet chapter 2 restarts chapter numbering and chapter 5 continues numbering from the chapter before it. Any idea why? I can't figure it out.Thanks,

With RGB setting, I am able to create PDF for a document of 750 pages. But, with CMYK setting the Adobe distiller shows the error as below:%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ct_T3HdrDict ]%%%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%no pdf gets generated. Why does it happen?I am using FM12 and document is of 750 pages. The images are done using framemaker tools only.Please let me know the solutions.

Dear experts,In my scripts I have this snippet:var tLoc2, fRange, j, thisMarker, thisId, thatId;//...for (j = 0; j < markerRange.length; j++)        // loop should not be necessary due to findparms{  var oTextItem = markerRange;  thisMarker = oTextItem.obj;                   // should contain only one marker}  if (!thisMarker.ObjectValid()) {Alert ("IndexNearestMarker does not find a " + sMarkerName + " marker after the cursor location, first marker used");thisMarker =  markerArray[0];}thisId = thisMarker.Unique; Although thisMarker shows all expected properties, and in the document the found marker is already selected, line 8 reports "thisMarker is undefined".Replacing line 8 with thisif (!oTextItem.obj.ObjectValid()) {the sript runs and line 12 does not create a problem at all !What is wrong with the original line 86?

I attempted to open Pro and it tells me I have a problem.  Pro tells me I need to uninstall and reinstall Pro, or get a hold of IT department, or customer service.  The first time we installed Pro the IT department had to install the program so I don't know what the problem is now.

We have an online help system of no more than 100 topics. They were written in Word and put into a homegrown help system.Now we can go to a webhelp output of some kind, and I've shown my manager some DHTML effects like drop-down text.I see that FrameMaker 2015 outputs to HTML5, but I haven't found a way to insert expanding text or drop-down text . . . Is there a way?I briefly thought may be we could do without RH, but that seems so unlikely from a business sense, I must be wrong. What is the relationship between the two tools?Thanks

Hello all,How do I fix this issue? I can create new documents, and locked documents I can open in "view only", but I can't (locked or unlocked) fully open for editing any documents. I have a subscription for the tech suite, so I'm on the newest version of FM. Am I just going to have to uninstall/reinstall?Thanks in advance.

I would like someone to assure me that the following way is the correct one:In the beginning I enable FDK Undo recording with :F_ApiSetInt(FV_SessionId, FV_SessionId, FP_UndoFDKRecording, True);And later on at some point I do:F_ApiUndoStartCheckPoint(docId, ConStringT("Replacements"));// .. replacements ..F_ApiUndoEndCheckPoint(docId);Is this enough?

I have two users that have the same issue with fonts changing when being saved as a PDF and when compiling multiple files into one pdf book.  One of the users has was not able to save or print a file to Adobe DC without the font causing an issue.  He could however Print to Cute PDF without issue, but in doing so, he was then not able to compile that book since one of the files was made with CutePDF. Is there a simple solution that I am missing, where additional fonts need to be installed?  Could this be a single "shared" pdf document that is the cause of the issue?Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.

Whenever I connect to the FrameMaker with the following command in the local machine: F_ApiStartUp(nullptr) it is connected randomly with one of the FM instances running. How can I make it to connect always to the active FrameMaker instance, the one the user uses?

I saved a Frame 10 book file as a pdf and the bookmarks did not generate properly.The secondary bookmarks are not nested under the primary bookmarks. For example, the bookmarks for heading 1 and heading 2 Frame file content do not display "indented" under the Chapter Title bookmarks.Michele

Hi all,i'm wondering if it is possible to make a code can change all numbers on file to Arabic numbers like (0123) and another one can change all digits to Hindi like (٠١٢٣)Thanks in advance

I have had licensed copies of Framemaker for many years and followed by the Technical Communications Suite.  I still use the Acrobat Pro component but none of the others.  Can thee be individually uninstalled by using the Windows Programs window?My system is Windows 7 x64.Thank you

Due to a machine upgrade I have had to install Framemaker 2015 as it was the only download I could find for FM.It seems that the only option that I have for saving files at a different version is to FM 12 but I work with a client that runs FM11.  Is there a way to save from FM 2015 to FM 11 format or is there a download for FM 12 that I can use to re-install at FM 12?Cheers,Mark

Dear friends,While it is quite simple to find the next marker with oDoc.NextMarkerInDoc the sequence of the found markers is not that what the user sees in the document: you get the markers in the sequence they were inserted into the document (which may be quite random). To get the same sequence as using the Find dialogue, I need ...But again my knowledge is to low - see lines 91 or 92:#target framemaker  /*  Navigate markers and get themDocument in charge is E:\_DDDprojects\FM-calc\FM-testfiles\NavigateMarkers.fm Which contains both #calc and Author markersIt turns out that the sequence of marker.NextMarkerInDoc is that of creating the markers.For the first and last marker the simple method is OK (since absolute postions).For next and previous the find method must be used.*/var oDoc = app.ActiveDoc, oCurrentMarker;if (!oDoc.ObjectValid ()) {  alert ("There is no active document.");} else {oCurrentMarker =  GetMarker (oDoc, "#calc", "first");    

Hi!I am using ExtendScript to save .fm file as .mif. It works well but there is one issue: filename.fm.lck file is not removed when I close the document.The code sample (without error handling etc.) is below.var doc = OpenDoc(FileName);var importDoc = OpenDoc(ImportFileName);var res = doc.SimpleImportFormats(importDoc, Constants.FF_UFF_COND);var saveParams = GetSaveDefaultParams();var i = GetPropIndex(saveParams, Constants.FS_FileType);saveParams.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveFmtInterchange;i = GetPropIndex(saveParams, Constants.FS_SaveMode);saveParams.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_ModeSaveAs;i = GetPropIndex(saveParams, Constants.FS_AutoBackupOnSave);saveParams.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveNoAutoBackup;var saveName = doc.Name.replace(/\.[^\.\\]+$/,".mif");var retParamsp = new PropVals();doc.Save(saveName, saveParams, retParamsp);doc.Close(Constants.FE_DocModified);importDoc.Close(Constants.FE_DocModified);where OpenDoc() is a simple wrapper on Open() with open params configured to

Has anyone experienced this problem?Installed FM 12 on new Windows 10 PC. Toolbars, Status bar are corrupted

FM 11 to FM 2015. Skipped 12. FDK 11 included debug versions of libs, FDK 2015 does not. Unable to build debug apiclients unless you have workaround for lnk2038 problem. Can we get debug libs for 2015?

I am switching to FrameMaker 2015 and one part of the work process is .mif files parsing. So, when I save file as MIF 7.0 and as MIF 2015 there are some differences including character sets. For example, “ (left double quotation mark) is presented as \xd2, and ” (right double quotation mark) is presented as \xd3 in MIF 7.0 and “ (e2 80 9c) and ” (e2 80 9d) in MIF 2015. And others, like ... (three dots) and … (one symbol e2 80 a6).I have already modified the parser but maybe the right approach is to specify FrameMaker to use standart set - on opening FM or on saving MIF. I use extend script, so I my abilities are greater than using FM's open and save menus but I did not find suitable options or separate functions.Thanks

Using Frame 12 and Acrobat DC 2015. When Saving as PDF, my last two books ( a chapter and Index) do not show up as bookmarks in the PDF. They're fine in the TOC. Using same pargraph style (chapter.name) in all books for chapter title. TOC seems to have something invisible where the bookmarks should be - note the continuation of the line at the bottom.      If I add bookmark manually for Index, and drag it to the bottom, it's more obvious that there's something there. I can work around it by adding the two bookmarks just below the last one, but it still leaves a tail at the end. And I have to remember to add them each time I save. Any ideas? - Thanks in advance.

I have just submitted bug #4140392 on a crash updating a book with unresolved external cross-references.I was trying to test the self-consistency message that people have reported with the new update. The book I started to test is structured and has numerous unresolved xrefs. FM crashed while performing the update. I tried again turning off the option to update xrefs during the update. FM still crashed.I then created an unstructured book with one file. The file contains three pgfs, each containing an xref to a file I then renamed so that the xrefs were unresolved. I updated this new book and FM crashed. When I converted the xrefs to text, the update completed (and there was no self-consistency message).          --Lynne

I had Framemaker 10 installed on my previous computer and apart from requiring a FM10 Licensing Updater solution, had no problems with it. For several weeks, my computer was acting up so I got myself a new computer. I deactivated Framemaker 10 on the old computer and then proceeded to install it on my new computer. I kept Framemaker 9 on my old computer and brought it over to my new computer without any problems. Now it is not accepting the serial number of the Framemaker 9 application when it did before. Has anyone experienced this problem and found solutions?
