FrameMaker

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 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?

I am publishing large manuals with responsive html setting. Is there a way to determine how the entries show up in the table of contents? If I publish a smaller section of the manual then 2nd level entries show up as blowouts under the chapter name, but if I publish the entire manual then the 2nd level headings do not show up at all. I would like them to show up as blowouts in the toc, but I need to publish the manual as a whole in order to keep the cross references. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi. I am using a C# desktop application. I have a C++\CLI wrapper that is connected with a native C++ library which is a custom FDK asynchronous client. In the C# application I use task parallelism (multi threading). Whenever I use the FDK client through C++\CLI wrapper from the main thread the FM API calls return data succesfully. However, when I use the FDK client from other thread (new Task) I get back no results. Is FDK multithreaded safe? Any help would be appreciated.

Every time I select the <ol>  element the list number is always 1 no matter how many times I select it. However at the sub step level it is incremental (a, b, c...)

What I like to do:Using FrameMaker 2015 to run Book Compare between the current version of doc vs. previous version of doc, to produce individual CMP files.When I try file by file comparison, the first file I use after starting the application can create CMP, but the second file fails with internal error.  Until I restart my computer, reopening application will continue with the internal error, and cannot create CMP at all.What I know:It is currently now working, and Adobe is aware of this bug.  Reported last year, still not received any update on this fix.I opened FM2015 MIF in FrameMaker 11 and ran individual file compare, which did not create issues.But creating one by one takes too much time.  I really need a better solution....Any thought?
