FrameMaker

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?

Dear experts,I'm down in the object store and have found a marker. I want that the user sees in the document, what I have found.The problem is: how to come from an object to a TextSelection and TextLocation? All I have found goes the other way round.currentMarker = GetFirstMarker (doc, "#calc"); // this does its jobdoc.TextSelecton = currentMarker;              // no error, no effect doc.ScrollToText(...);                         // requires TextLocationI have studied more than one diagram of the DOM but still don't see through the fog.Klaus

We're moving from a history of utilizing patternstream and the normal Framemaker desktop edition in a way that would make the existing server software pale by comparison - but we discovered our setup might have been outside the license agreement, so we scuttled that mechanism in "favor" of purchasing the server edition.   Since then we've had multiple problems with sparse technical support.  In desperation I'll list the problems here on the outside chance that some kind soul might have some advice.Architecture:OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 StandardHardware: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @ 2.93 GHz (Virtual Box)Framemaker Publishing Server Version: 12.0.1Issues:1.

When I insert a change tag a paragraph is inserted into the document along with the change tag. How do I prevent this form happening?

Sometimes cells in a table will be blacked-out. It looks like it's doing some sort of inverted highlighting.Sometimes the content can be copied and pasted, other times it says the clipboard is empty.Not sure what the cause is. It's happened with tables imported (Copy into document + import map) from Word. But I've also noticed it with tables made from scratch in FM.Anyone know what's causing this?

Hello Folks,I am trying to install Frame Maker 7.2 version on Windows 7 Professional Edition. It shows error that the Application is not supported by my OS. However, I also tried with FM 11 and that's working fine. But I have few corrupted files that are in FM 7.2 version which I need to access. With FM 11 that's not happening, don't know the reason. Screenshot added for explanation. I have the licensed copy for both the versions of FM. But only FM 7.2 is not getting installed on my Windows 7 Pro.Someone please help me to resolve this situation or please recommend if I have to make some changes in Windows Settings.Regards,Vishal

Will Framemaker 10 run on Windows 10?

Hi, I'm having a problem with Frame 2015 with embedded XLS tables and PDF output.I'm working with a new customer who had been using v11 with simple unstructured documents and embedded XLS tables.  We have now both purchased Framemaker 2015 so I can work on their documents.The problem I have is when I open the V11 docs in 2015 it loses the link to the XLS source.  The tables display OK but when tying to open the source data I get: "Cannot locate the source of the link" even though the path looks correct.  At this point if I save as PDF the output is OK.So I can re-insert the tables using "Edit - Paste Special - Embed Microsoft Office Excel 2003 Worksheet" and it displays correctly on screen.  However when I then save as PDF (as desired by the customer) the table becomes a large black box.  If I print normally the output is OK its only when saving as PDF.I've also tried printing to Adobe PDF with the same result, tables appear as black boxes.  Any ideas on a

FM-13.0.2.433: I encounter the same problem as it was reported in january.

I am using FDK C++ and get TextItems with FTI_String from the active document. But the text from the text items contains some characters that do not appear in the actual text. For example \b. What is this character and how can I get only the plain text without any FrameMaker metadata characters.

I have a rather complicated dialogue and want to use the step-by-step walk-through to check variables etc.As soon as I press a button in the dialogue the related code in the callback routine is run - no chance for step-by-step operation:Set a breakpoint at the beginning of the callback routineHave a breakpoint close to the end of the dialogue-setup codeTip-toe further (F11) until dialog is presentedClick buttonI now expect the execution halts at the brakpoint within the callback routine, but this is not done.I know, that i'm in this routine, because an alert is performed if present.But after the alert theres is no chance to use stepping (F11).Is this as designed?To illustrate: this is the dialgueand this is the callback routine for the button ==> (next)I have set a breakpoint at line 2 which is not used at all.win.p0.g3.btnNext.onClick = function () {      goCurrentMarker= GetMarker (oDoc, sMarkerName, "next", goCurrentMarker) ;     &nbsp

I have Adobe Tech Comm Suite 4 that I deactivated and am installing on a new computer running Windows 7 Enterprise. None of the setup processes (setup.exe and PDapp.exe) are running in task manager - I viewed processes from all users. It tells me to download Adobe Support Advisor, which is no longer supported. Now What???

I have done so much work and this is my last method to implement.I want to get from the current active doc the current paragraph and replace all occurances of a string inside that paragraph with another string.Say for example I have the following paragraph in a document:"This is a sentence that. This is another sentence. This is also another sentence. The sentence."If the user opens the document containing the paragraph and goes to that paragraph by clicking in any place in it,, I want to replace e.g.g "another sentence" with "some sentence".But only in the current active paragraph in the active document.I have found some code with F_ApiFind and F_ApiGetTextRange to get the current text selection but I cannot think a way to do it.Message was edited by: Efstathios Chatzikyriakidis

Dear friends,I want to support a dialog with a Help button which shall open a pdf at a specific location, either defined by page number or (better) by Named Destination. var helpFile = File($.fileName.replace (/\.jsx(?:bin)?$/i , ".pdf"));OpenPDF (helpFile, "FMcalccalculations"); // named dest = M8.newlink.FMcalccalculations function OpenPDF (fileName, destination) {  if (fileName.exists) {    fileName.execute("nameddest=M8.newlink." + destination);  }} This just opens the pdf at the first page.How can I pass parameters - not knowing which pgm will open the pdf (depends on the user's installation)?I have seen (IMHO) a crunch using an intermediate VBscript, but I have not yet tested this approach. As far as I understand this would require a VSscript for every destination in the pdf.Any ideas are wolcome.Klaus

I tried using the Mini TOC feature in FrameMaker 2015 but the mini TOCs in the chapter files don't update themselves when I do an update/generate on the book. Are they supposed to? The only way I found to get them to update was to right-click on each one individually choose the Update Mini TOC option.

I am downloading Adobe Framemaker with the Akamai Download Manager and in the end I click "Install now" but there is no response aftter clicking. I checked many times and in another PC as well but the result was same. Can some one help me?

I want to get the current paragraph where the insertion point is.How can I do this in FDK?

I am opening a document by using:F_ObjHandleT docId = F_ApiOpen(componentName, &script, &returnp);I also have set the following property to the script:IntT i = F_ApiGetPropIndex(&script, FS_MakeVisible);script.val.propVal.u.ival = False;I have an FDK client which scans all opened books and for each one I get all components.I open all documents from each book (and later on flows, etc) in order to extract all text items from the documents.Since I have FS_MakeVisible to False the FDK client does it transparently and the user is not aware of it.However, when some documents are already open then whenever I try to open these the program switches to these (however do not open it again) and the user looses his focus on the active document.Is there any way to check if a document by its name is already open or set some setting to not switch to it after is opened?
