FrameMaker

Is there a definitive list of which versions of the Tech Comms Suite are compatible with Windows 10?I'm currently running TCS 4 on one machine and TCS 2 on another (both Windows 7, currently). It seems every other bit of essential software I own is now compatible with the exception of TCS... but I can't upgrade to TCS 2015 at the moment on both (it may happen ... I keep nudging) as the decision is up to my clients, not me. As an aside - I went to a training course with TCS4 on a laptop that had been upgraded to Windows 10, and for the short amount of time I used it there, it seemed fine...Any guidance appreciated.Alison

I have several problems using the background color of a paragraph box in FrameMaker 12.1. Sometimes, but not always, when a paragraph continues from the bottom of the first column to the top of the second, the color stops about 3/4", more or less, from the bottom margin. The last three or four lines are on a white background.2. If I color the background of two or more sequential paragraph boxes a thin uncolored line separates them. This is most obvious when I feather the columns, since the spaces between paragraphs may increase.3. If I set a line above or below a paragraph, marking it off, the color does not reach all the way to the line.4.When I place a figure in an anchored frame, and the frame is set to be placed at the top of the column, it is likely to appear in the middle of a paragraph that continues from one column to the next. If that paragraph box is assigned a background color, the color also appears as a sort of frame around the figure and as a background to the caption.I w

Using FrameMaker2015, I created a DITA 1.2 topic and create a document but whenever I generate a pdf file from DITA-OT output, the headings always comes with underline like this:How to ignore those underlines? I tried all that I can in master page view, but couldn't ignore it. By the way, If I only save the doc in pdf mode, then underlines disappear. Please help by giving any clue. Thanks a lot in advance!!MehjabinAny answer from anyone?

Is there any way to mitigate SVG files becoming corrupted in FrameMaker 2015?

I recently had to restore my computer from a backup and now it thinks that my TCS4 is a Trial version. I attempted to put the serial # for my license using the "License this Product" option, but it says it was invalid. My IT Support team decided to uninstall 4, reinstall 3 and try to add 4 back, but when I get to the Serial Number fields, it says my serial number is INVALID. Anyone know what to do here?

I have a file open in Structured FrameMaker 13 and the cursor in position to insert a Trademark symbol. Selecting the menu options (none of which are "grey'd out") File > Utilities > Character Palette... , no subsequent window or palette seems to open or become available in the menu bar. Does anyone know what I am apparently missing?

I'm using my HP ZBook running FrameMaker 12. I've set my monitor to default. FrameMaker does not display all dialog boxes completely. Most of the pods are complete, but some are missing buttons completely or only showing partial buttons. When the buttons are missing, sometimes you can use the Enter key for OK, sometimes not. Attached is an examples of what I see.

Hi all,I am using FrameMaker 10 and am new to it.Figured out how to center text in a cell using the paragraph designer but it will not save.This is an already existing table that someone else put together.any help appreciated.Thanks,Myko

How do you change the list of colors in the Color drop-list in the Custom Ruling and Shading dialog box?

Hi all, I am new to FrameMaker 10. I am trying to edit an existing table. want to center text in a cell and nothing i try in table designer has worked. any help appreciated. thanks

Help!!!I'm trying to automate finding text in a FM11 file and tagging it with a specific para tag. Once it's tagged, I want to be able to search for the same string again and delete it. The search will include wildcards. I'm moving Word files over and bringing them in with manual numbering of paragraphs. So, when they come in, they have "2.3.4.5" in front of the paragraphs for instance. I want to search for all numbers at beginning of paragraphs, tag all those with the appropriate para format (from a catalog) and then delete the manual numbering.Right now we do this manually, by using Find/Replace and using wildcard search strings to find (such as "\P[1-9]*.*.*.*[0-9]", which will find all para numbering with 4 digits at the beginning of a para), and then using the Change By Pasting option to paste in a para tag from the catalog. Then we rerun the same search and delete the text, leaving only the para tag formatted numbering. It works great, but errors can arise if the search string in

Our team just upgraded to FrameMaker 2015 (from FrameMaker 12). We're running into some issues where we lose italic formatting in existing files and templates, and/or the "Emphasis" character tag that we use to apply italic formatting does not work correctly.For example, when I open our existing template in FrameMaker 2015, the "Emphasis" character tag is still defined correctly – it shows the "Italic" property in the "Angle" field. But, when I select a word or phrase and apply the "Emphasis" style, the text does not get italicized. Frame shows that the "Emphasis" tag has been applied, but the text is still roman (i.e., not italicized).When I change the "Angle" property from "Italic" to "Kursiv" that seems to resolve the issue, but I'm not sure why.We are also seeing inconsistent issues of italic formatting getting dropped altogether in existing files, or getting dropped just from cross-references, etc.Are there any known issues with italic formatting in FrameMaker 2015? Or anything we

Hi all,I need to know how to center text in a table cell.I tried with paragraph designer and it worked but when I opened the xml again it did not save the centering.sorry i didn't say "horizontal" centering in my first post.any help appreciated.

Greetings!I have users that run FrameMaker 12 and periodically the application crashes and produces an error log and associated internal error codes. Can we get a translation of the error codes so we can diagnose the issues? And if not the entire list can we get the most common ones? After reviewing the error logs of multiple computers I have noticed patterns in the error codes. Two of the most common codes are 12024 and 12004. I did some digging and it appears that 12004 is related to network connectivity internal error 12004, 4454010, 7384245. But I would really like to know what 12024 means as well.And at the moment I can't send the error logs to Adobe for security reasons (which is why i would really like to know what the codes mean). sample of error codes:Internal Error: 12004, 25561187, 22045852, 21992571Internal Error: 12024, 202174421, 19514319, 19518941Thanks for your help!

Hi everybody,I wrote an application using the FDK that simply opens a book, saves it as pdf (using API call F_ApiSave and FS_FileType=FV_SaveFmtPdf). Everything works like a charme but the page size. The book contains several A4 documents but the final PDF is created using the US Letter format resulting in a too short page.If I export manually the book (using Framemaker interactively) the resulting PDF contains A4 sized pages.I already tried to set the Adobe PDF printer default settings via the Control Panel (I set A4 as default page size).Hopefully someone can point me out to a solution.Thanks

FrameMaker 2015 trial installation: Installer stops, saying it cannot initialize and pointing me to the Adobe Support Advisor, a tool which discontinued apparently. I get the error message in my language (German) irrespective of which language trial version I downloaded. My Win7Pro computer already had FM8 installed, but this one now requires me to register again, which fails.

I received the email and clicked Download and Install, but it is not clear what I should click on to get install TCS 2015?

To insert a graphic, Alt F I F no longer seems to work, nor does Esc F I F.What is the keyboard shortcut to insert a graphic into a FrameMaker 2015 frame? Thanks!

I have two of these separated by paragraph symbols - they are messing up my book - how can I get rid of one of them - help !

For a reason I'll explain below, each graphic frame in our thousands of pages of FrameMaker documents has within it a text frame containing only a marker. We no longer need the markers. I can quickly search for and delete the markers, but this leaves empty text frames. Is there an easy way to get rid of these empty frames? If not, is there a not-easy way, like creating a script?I don't think that the frames, or the markers, for that matter, will cause any problems in the documents, but they will be mysterious artifacts for writers who join our organization going forward, and it can complicate working with callouts to have empty text boxes in the same graphic frame.The reason we have the markers and frames was that Webworks ePublisher didn't recognize borders on graphics without them. Webworks suggested using markers to get the borders, and we've been using them for probably five years. Now we're able to get the same effect by modifying our ePublisher stationery, so we don't need the ma

I have a book consisting of a list of documents with one main frame. I would love to know how many books my book contains. I do know FrameMaker 12 has in File -> Tools -> Document Report a facility to count the number of words in that document. My book has 50 documents and it's tedious to do this by hand.Is there a script out there that would do that? Baring that, any starting script that I could actually take and use? I already know how to iterate on each document in a book, what I would need to know is the function I could call to count the number of words in that document and I think I could do the rest.Thanks for any suggestion or help in this matter,Egan.

Hello.  Encountered FrameMaker 13 Internal Error Code that drops me out of the program.  What is this error and how do I correct it?13004, 3928708, 3929203, 4046620Thanks & Best Regards,Desperate in Silicon Valley

When I or one of my colleagues attempted to run the updater for FrameMaker 2015 Update 2, the installer stopped and displayed the following message: "There was an error installing this update. Please quit and try again later. Error Code: U44M1I210"The problem seems to be related to permissions. An Adobe support record (Error U44M1I210 when installing Adobe Creative Cloud or Creative Suite 6 updates) suggests creating a new user with administrator permissions. Although I and the colleague who experienced this problem were already logged in as administrators, in my colleague's case, someone from IT created a new user with (the same) administrator permissions, which solved the problem.Another record (Error U44M1I216 when updating applications) suggested deleting the following folder:[DriveLetter]:\Users\[UserName]\AppData\Local\Adobe\AAMUpdater\1.0I did this and was then able to successfully run the updater. This seems like a preferable solution, because it doesn't require having IT creat
