FrameMaker

Hi All, I've got an extendscript app that has worked fine for years in FM 2017,  but it's stopped working.It gets as far as cutting the table>SelectElement(doc, para);var textRange = new TextRange;textRange.beg.obj = textRange.end.obj = para;textRange.beg.offset = 0;textRange.end.offset = Constants.FV_OBJ_END_OFFSET;doc.TextSelection = textRange;textRange = doc.TextSelection;var pgf = doc.TextSelection.beg.obj;var start = pgf.Start;SelectElement(doc, table);doc.Cut(0);This works fine. But then this next bit is no longer working. var importParams = GetImportDefaultParams();i=GetPropIndex(importParams,Constants.FS_ImportAsType);importParams[i].propVal.ival=Constants.FV_TYPE_XML;i=GetPropIndex(importParams,Constants.FS_FileIsXmlDoc);importParams[i].propVal.ival=Constants.FV_DoOK;i=GetPropIndex(importParams,Constants.FS_AlertUserAboutFailure);importParams[i].propVal.ival=0;i=GetPropIndex(importParams,Constants.FS_DontNotifyAPIClients);importParams[i].propVal.ival=1;i=GetP

This might be a silly question, but our process requires us to copy text from one Frame file and paste it into another, replacing existing text that may contain an index marker. Is there a way or best practice we aren't aware of to copy/paste over the existing text but still retain the marker?

I am getting this messag frequently, 'font information for your system has changed' . How can I fix this?  

FM 17.0.4.628. I have a MS Word document that I'm converting to a structured FM document (via a convervion table). The conversion works as expected with the text converted to the correct Elements/Structure, e.g.: In my EDD,  I have Novelisation as a Table Element that matches the structure above: However, the original text is not in a table. When I use the Convert to Text function to convert the Novelisation element into a table with the following settings:I get this result:All the elements inside the original NTCell Elements have been unwrapped and are now just NTCell elements. Is this by design, am I missing something or am I doing something wrong?

The hyperlinks in one file that specify named destinations in another file don't work in Responsive HTML5 output. The hyperlinks that specify named destinations within the current document work as expected in Responsive HTML5 output. Whether the Hypertext command is Specify Named Destination (e.g., newlink Env.fm:ql_environments) or Open Document (e.g., openlink Env.fm:ql_environments), the hyperlinks test successfully in the Frame documents using the CTRL +ALT CLICK operation. In the HTML5 output, links within the current document and links to another Frame document use the same Character format. I am running the latest Frame on a Mac Studio running in Parallels Desktop with the latest version of Windows 11. Any help is appreciated. 

Dear all, I have a problem with FrameMaker 2022 and I was wondering if anyone could help me. I use docbook XML and have a problem with opening xml files correctly. When I try opening an xml file with FrameMaker 2022, it opens the "Save Book" window and tries to get me to save the xml document as a book. How can I get it to open xml files properly? I have opened, edited and saved the said xml files with FrameMaker 2020 succesfully, but now that I want to take FrameMaker 2022 into use, I can't. I have activated Structured FrameMaker interface in Preferences. I'm probably just missing something. Should I copy the structured application files somewhere in the new FrameMaker installation? I tried comparing the old installation (FM 2020) with the new (FM 2022), but I couldn't find any differences. I obviously can't set the Structured application in the FrameMaker from Structure > Set Structured Application... since I cannot open any xml files to begin with. S

I have cross-posted to the Adobe Acrobat forum as well. Hello, This is post is going to be cross-posted to the Framemakers forum as well but I thought that I would try here first. I am Windows 11, 64 bit and have Framemaker 2019 installed and updated to date for the last version available. I have Adobe Acrobat Pro 2020 also installed and updated to the latest version available. I have the Roboto Font Family installed in C:\Windows\Fonts. I have confirmed that all the fonts are properly installed. They are the Open Type fonts available from Google that I received from a client (and they from Google) and these are the exact same fonts that are available from https://fonts.adobe.com/fonts/roboto. (In fact, there is even the disclaimer for these fonts on the Adobe site that they are from Google.) In Framemaker, when I am setting up my template and creating the necessary paragraph tags, all the installed Roboto font families are available on the Font tab in the Paragraph

Text in the converted PDF files is "scruntched" up weird places (there does not seem to be a pattern to the scruntching - sometimes a whole line; sometimes a few words.I cannot tell why.Some points for consideration:- I am using Framemaker v 17.0.4.628. The files were authored using Framemaker 2019.- The files I have use Open Sans font in their different variations- I am converting the files  by Save as PDF from the book file.HELP. I am in urgent need of a solution.   

Can't save any images as a jpeg format. I tried everything I read on YouTube and on this website and couldn't figure it out 

Hi All, I pasted from a PDF document into Frame. There are many paragraph markers where I would like to put a space and join the 2 paragaraphs.Is there a way to do this globally without replacing the paragraph markers that are supposed to be there?Any help appreciated

This might be a silly question but I can't seem to find the right words to search for the answer. What kind of file is the blue "M"?  

I am running FrameMaker Version: 17.0.0.226 on Win11 and a really annoying problem has appeared. The PDF printer instance keeps disappearing and provokes this message: Each time I reinstall Acrobat from the installation package, but half an hour later it is gone again. What happens and where it goes to, I can´t figure out. Any suggestions?... Best regards Bjørn

Hi there, As per the technical writing established practices, the caption of a figure and a figure must be on the same page.After publishing in Adobe FM, We have a customer’s complain about cross referenced images and their captions not being on the same page. I am running Structured FM ver 17.04.628.I have assembled a pdf file showing this not happening after using crossreferenced images – see Test_crossref_2.pdf, Chapter 2 (attached). The file with the detailed explanation is attached – see file Captions_dont_go_on the same Page_as images.pdf. I have all files compressed in a .7z file but this format of file is not supported. Xml files are also not supported. Upon request, I will send all missing files in an email. The list of the files needed is shown  below. I was wondering if someone run in a similar situation, and if yes, what was the solution. Thanks a lot, Zornitza Doneva,Toronto, Canada

This should be simple, but it doesn't seem to be ... I needed to add a O-Slash and a Delta Character in my FrameMaker Document. I found https://www.daube.ch/docu/fm-documentation/FM/fm08-Character_Sets.pdf and Ctrl-Q/ works great for the O-Slash. For the Delta, it says I should be able to use the left Alt Key and 0394 on the numpad, but that gives me a capital S with a triangle above it. Or I should be able to do it with Alt 2206, but that gives me "Pts". Or - https://www.ascii-code.com/ISO-8859-7/196 - Says I should be able to do it with Alt-196, but that gives me a long dash. Alt-0196 gives me a Capital A.I was able to get it by clicking (FM 15), Insert>Equations (brings up the equations palette), selecting New Small Equation from the drop-down, clicking in the box, clicking the Delta Symbol, enlarging the font to be close (12-pt seems to match 10-pnt), and selecting shrink-wrap Equation from the drop-down. It works, but I would prefer havin

So, the rest of my TOC is correct except for these two entries. I included a screenshot of the TOC lines with the header numbering and the page number as well as where it is in the book and the heading number that applies there with the page number from that page. I am trying to fix the last image with the green highlights. The TOC is saying the heading is only 7.3 instead of 7.3.1.1.1 and that the page number is 26 instead of 7.3-26. I asked the senior TW at my job and they were not sure what the issue was. Anyone have any info how to help with this?  

Hello,I know how to make a TOC in FrameMaker unstructured. But when FM creates the TOC, there is no Hyperlink for each line in the TOC. How to make a TOC that could automatically add the hyperlinks for each line ? My goal is that when someone click on by example "chapter 1" in the TOC, it goes directly on "chapter 1"  inside FM file, and also inside the exported PDF.

Hi,   Today FrameMaker crashed, when I wanted to open a file. When i sent the dmp and meta.txt file and and the FrameMaker file to fmerror@adobe.com, I got a message back that the address fmerror was not found at adobe.com. Is this e-mail address fmerror@adobe.com permanently closed? Should we now send all these files to tcssup@adobe.com?   By the way, after a restart I could open my file without any problems.   Best regards, Winfried

So, I inherited a file that basically has a List of Pages and List of Tables on the first page.   You can see here that there is a chapter title, a section listing the sections, and a section listing the tables within that section.The person who had this file before me had this section set up as a text inset, but now it doesn't seem to be working. I originally started out by making a mini-TOC to replace the section, but then I realized you can't have two mini-TOC's in the same file.  I know you can create a List of Pages and List of Tables, but those create stand alone files and won't appear at the top of the first page as before.  Is there an easy way to rectify this? Thanks.

Hello, I am using framemaker 12. Can I put 2 separate page number counters on one page? One of them will be used as the normal book page number, the other will be used as the relevant section page number. Can you help me with this?

I'm looping through the paragraphs in a document, checking for a paragraph name, then I want to check if each new line (other than the first) starts with a specified character, if it does then I'll do other stuff, but I'm feeling dense and can't figure out how to get the first character based on what I have below.    var doc = app.ActiveDoc; var pgf = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf; while(pgf.ObjectValid() === 1) { if (pgf.Name === 'SomePgf') { var textList = pgf.GetText(Constants.FTI_LineBegin); for (var i = 1; i < textList.length; i++) { // how do i get the first character of what is in the text item? } } pgf = pgf.NextPgfInFlow; }    I greatly appreciate any help.
