FrameMaker

I have a customer spec that requires a particular paragraph (Warning and Caution) to be fully justified. I input the text as needed, and apply the Justify command (hitting the button). The first line does not fully justify to the right, and the last line stays left aligned. All other lines are justified correctly, and look nice.Any suggestions for the first/last lines?I am using FM 11 that has been patched to 11.0.2.384.

Everything says use AAMEE but it's an .exe, not an .msi so no worky.  shouldn't be this hard.  why isn't it an .msi to begin with.  sigh.  any help is appreciated.

Dear all,Once again it seams that I "put the cart before the horse" to do the following:- In the current document i have a text selection and want to re-apply the pgf format from the catalogue to the current pgf.- Taking the properties from the catalogue and applying to the current pgf does nothing. function ReApplyPgfFormat (oDoc, tRange) {// oDoc        current document// tRange      current text range  var currPgf = tRange.beg.obj;  var pgfFormat = currPgf.Name;                   // most likely Footnote, but not guaranteed  var pgfFmt = oDoc.GetNamedPgfFmt(pgfFormat);      var pgfProps = pgfFmt.GetProps();               // from catalogue  currPgf.SetProps(pgfProps);          &nb

How do I assign the license to one of our employees?

It's been a long week already, and my brain has turned to mush – I thought I had once managed to set up this sort of report, but just at the moment I can't remember how. The context is a .book with many referenced graphics; each graphic has a caption, which I can identify by specifying a paragraph style.Any reminders on how to achieve this would be welcome, as would (I suppose!) confirmation that I'm just fantasising :-}

(FM12 with .isf exported from RH11)The output log of FM12 multi-channel publishing (to WebHelp) includes may Warning references to this file: inset_0.fmv.The messages are of this form:Warning: "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\TPUBTMP\C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\TPUBTMP\H\ch_AddrBkMg\inset_0.fmv" cannot be copied to" C:\SVN\branches\d_o\zFM\H-WebHelp\C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp\TPUBTMP\H\ch_AddrBkMg\inset_0.fmv". reason: source does not exist.No file with a name of the form inset_?, with any extension, exists in my content base.What does this result mean?Best regards,

HiI am currently evaluating TCS5/ FM12 as an upgrade from TCS4/ FM11. In TCS 4, I could create an ISF file that contains my FM-RH style mapping and use that file in FM to publish the WebHelp. Now in FM12, I don't see the option to assign the ISF file. Instead, I need to start all over, first pull up the CSS file that contains the custom styles I added in RH, and then create a STS file which stores my style mapping. Is there any other way out? I have about 70+ styles, mapping and testing them again would be a crazy task!Thanks in advance.Sreekanth

The case (DITA 1.2):Paragraph A contains an image with a relative href path to an image.Paragraph A is reused (conref) in another Paragraph B in a topic located on another hierarchic position in the folder structure.Previous result (FM12):The image displays correctly, both if you open the topic containing Paragraph A or the topic containing Paragraph B.New result (FM2015):The image only displays correctly when opening the topic containing Paragraph A. When opening the topic containing Paragraph B, the image does not display. Evidently FM2015 expects a path that is correct relative to the referencing topic, not the referenced topic.It seems to me the previous (FM12) handling is correct. The DITA standard states:2.4.2.4 Processing xrefs and conrefs within a conref..."When the address is a direct URI reference of any form other than a same-topic fragment identifier, processors MUST resolve it relative to the source document that contains the original URI reference."This spec only mentions

After moving from FM12 to FM2015 the scaling of images is lost. The images in the XML files contain width/height attributes, but when opening in FM2015 these are evidently not read, the image is displayed distorted and when saving the new XML file contains no width/height attributes any more.I suppose the r/w rules are the answer but cannot locale the relevant file. I copied the entire DITA_1.2 folder to the new program directory. It contains all the EDDs, templates and also the rules files. Everything else works fine (formatting etc.) just the image scaling doesn't. Is there another rules file hidden somewhere in the file structure?Robert

We are in the process of migrating from PTC's Arbortext authoring tool to Adobe's Technical Communication Suite.  We have thousands of structured DITA content files currently stored in our company's standard repository, IBM Content Manager. We need to connect FrameMaker to IBM Content Manager, but we haven't been able to figure out how.  We've tried numerous times to contact our Adobe rep, but we get no response.Does anyone have experience with connecting FrameMaker to a CMS such as IBM Content Manager?  What is the process we need to follow?Thank you.

I'm having problems with external xrefs while importing xml files into FrameMaker 11. My internal xrefs are working correctly. I would like to create this link to the external xml file within the same folder. I have edited my structapps file to use xml for xref. Any help would be appreciated.My xml is: <english><xref refbook=”filename”/></english> My read/write rules is: element "xref" {                attribute "refbook" is fm attribute "linkend";               attribute "refbook" is fm property cross-reference id;                       attribute "format" is fm property cross-reference format;} 

I have a text frame on top of a graphic for a Cover page as above.As soon as I try and enter text in the frame, the line background goes white, as below.The only way round it is to click on the graphic and select Send to Back.However, it doesn't seem to remember the setting. If I enter text in the text frame again, the same thing happens. I've tried everything to try to get this to stop but I can't fathom it out. Anyone any ideas? I'm on FM 11 if that makes any difference?CheersMark

With DITA 1.3 now released, can 1.3 replace 1.2 in Framemaker 12? If so, does anyone know how?

Can't install Framemaker 2015 trial because of the error 'The Akamai Download Manager has encountered a fatal error: Access denied.'

Hello all,Does anyone know how/where I can get a subscription or a serial for Frame 11? I have an FM 2015 subscription already, but plenty of my clients still use FM11. I had the trial version but it's expired. The 'Buy Now' link on FM11's splash screen just leads to a 404 page, and the 'License this software' button asks me for a serial, which I don't have. Support Chat is currently closed (surprise!)

Hello. I wonder if there is option or plugin in Framemaker 13, which allow to locate xml element in WYSIWIG view according of XPath search in XML view(or is there Xpath search in WYSIWIG view).

Hi,it seem that muse and photoshop are not launching anymore, when I try to open muse they tell me that " muse can not open because of a problem" and photoshop just doesn't do anything all !

I have problem with Adobe Framemaker. When I save .xml (dita 1.2) file to .html I get different looking document. If I save it in PDF format the structure of the document is the same.In framemaker:In HTML (losing the offset):How can I have the same output in HTML format. Do I have to use Robohelp?

I've been using InDesign for the past year, and forgot how to change the display setting in FM to display graphics in the highest quality (so I can see them, not blurry pixels).In InDesign, the setting is View --> Display Performance --> High Quality DisplayCan anyone help me remember how to do the same thing in FM?P.S. These are vector eps graphics, they are not actually blurry raster images.Thanks

Hello, I apparently forgot how to use FM. How in the world can I insert a new page in a document?Thank you very much.

Hello. Is there a way to create custom XML element(and customized list of attributes) in FrameMaker in a way, which the framemaker will open the xml file and validate it successfuly. For example I want to have xml element <table10> with attributes class,id,pr etc, but when I use the new feature since version 11 called "XML View" and modify the code - after a while the new element staies, but the attributes dissaper and in Structured view the element "table10" is in red. After save and open - message for validation fail apper, but the file opens and again table10 is in red. I mean is there way to learn Adobe FrameMaker for the existance of my own elements and their attributes? I am using Structured FrameMaker and do not have experience over Unstructured and XML Author.

My FM 11 crashes when I switch to structured mode. I have kept my old maker.ini file which restores me back into the unstructured mode. But, I can't get to the structured mode after I set the preferences to framemaker structured. What do I need to do? Thank you for your help.

Where can I find the instructions for the correct usage of these commands - I haven't found anything in the Help pdf.I have used them and they do produce the required effect however they insert a printable "?" at the point of insertion making the result unusable.The only time it does not display a "?" is when used before a "<" or a "("

Hallo Miteinander,ich habe vor einigen Jahren in Framemaker die Möglichkeit gehabt, viele Bilder aus einem bestehenden DOkument an einen neuen Ablageort verschieben zu können. (Auswahl Quellordner der Bilder und Zieltordner der Bilder; danach wurden diese Bilder in dem neu angegebenen Zielordner abgespeichert.Ich weiss nun nicht, ob dies ein Plugin war oder eine Serienmässige Funktion von Framemaker ist.WIe bekomme ich dass hin? Wenn nicht, wie heist dieses Plugin.GrüsseJochen
