FrameMaker

Dear friends and experts,It seems obvious that with my new project I have opened the box of Pandora...Palettes stay open even when setting a new cursor location, hence I use this for my dialogue.But the user can also switch to another document while the palette is open.Currently I have a button Refresh and the user is urged to use it after switching to another document. The function behind is to analyse the newly entered document and define global variables, update the dialogue.How could I detect the switch of the document ? I have not found something like onDocumentChange.(In the current script a check for changed document name is in the btnRefresh.onClick function to avoid irrelevant work).Thank You for any ideas.Klaus

Am I right with my observations?Ordinary (not named) callback functions are all listed as (for example) onClick() in the Functions pane of ESTK. In addition local variables in these functions are not listed in the Data Browser. Hence IMHO debugging is not possible.So I tried the method with named callback functions which avoids both drawbacks:Unnamed callback functionsNamed callback functionsmyDlg.btn2.onClick = function() {  $.bp(true);  aLocal = "gugus";  if (this.text == 'Disable Him') {    this.text = 'Enable Him';    myDlg.btn1.enabled = false;  } else {    this.text = 'Disable Him';    myDlg.btn1.enabled = true;  }}myDlg.btn2.onClick = ActButton2;// ...function ActButton2 () {$.bp (true);  var aLocal = "gugus";  if (this.text == 'Disable Him') {    this.text = 'Enable Him';    myDlg.btn1.enabled = false;  } else {    this.text = 'Disable

I opened my FrameMaker 12 book, and then used Open all files in book. The table of contents is included in the open files, but does not show up in the book (and is left out of my PDF). I cannot Add the toc file, because it says it is already in the book. I could delete and regenerate, but I've done this a several times and I would like to solve the issue. I don't understand why the table of contents (file reference) disappeared from the book, although the file is open and obviously associated with the book.

Is it possible to buy a licence for version 11?

The third update to FM2015 was released today. This will bring your version up to v.13.0.3.494For more details see the Techcomm blog at: FrameMaker (2015 release) – Update 3 released – TechComm Central by Adobe

FM11. DITA 1.2. I am processing translated XML files that I recently received from the translator. Some of them open just fine, but when I save them, or reopen them after saving I get this message:XML Parser Messages (Document Instance)Error at file C:\foo.xml, line 22, char 77, Message: Colons are not allowed in this name when namespaces are enabledParse error at line 22, char 75: Not well-formed (invalid token)Parsing aborted.The problem is here:<dita xmlns:ditaarch = "http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"><?Fm: BoolCondExpr"" State 0?>See that colon in <?Fm: "BoolCondExpr"" State 0?> ? That's what's tripping me up. It's not in the file when I opened it originally, and the file opened just fine. I see this on save and then the file won't open.Now I have to open the file in a text editor and get the colon out, before FM will open it again. This happens every time I open the file.Where is this coming from???  It seems to happen only with the files I get

We have structured documents and we make a crossrefences to elements inside document.We know how to create reference to element using its ID.But we want also to make a reference to text part of elements.See highlighted parts in picture below:But this text part has no ID attribute. So how can we make a crossreference to this part of element?Thanks for any info.

Hi together,Is it possible to save FM2015 documents in MIF 9, 10 or 11?Für den Export in unsere Übersetzungssoftware ist es erforderlich, Dokumente in diese Formate abzuspeichern. Leider bietet FM2015 das nicht an. Wie kann das gelöst werden?Danke und viele Grüßethanks and Kind regardsMartin

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
