HiWhen I launch Help > Help Topic, a window opens with four gray boxes and Help never opens.Thanks,John

We upgraded to Framemaker 12, now the view element boundaries (as tags) doesn't work. Is there a bug or am I lost?

I had a problem after loading a file created in FrameMaker12 into FrameMaker2015 and tried to flip the document to RTL.On contacting someone in Adobe I was informed that you cannot Flip documents not created in FrameMaker2015.Could some one confirm one way or another because I cannot find any limitation in the documentation.I am a little puzzled because I have found some documents will flip perfectly and others won't!Bob

I have a document with approximately 50 tables in it, some of which I need to add some text and shade some cells etc. The tables which I need to run my script over are identified by a string ( just one word ) found in the second row, first cell of these particular tables. I need to search each table in the document for this string, if the string is present then apply the script, if not present then move to the next table in the document. I've had good read around "getText" but I'm unsure if this the right way to go and still don't know how to apply it. Anybody any ideas how I could achieve this? ThanksChris

The links to recorded webinars/seminars that were working till yesterday (21 July 2015) are landing on an EVENTS page from today that lists events from April 2015 only.In fact, the page for recorded webinars (I have a filtered link) also lands on the EVENTS page:https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/event/index.cfm?event=list&loc=en_us&type=ondemand_seminar&product=FrameMaker&interest=&audience=The links from Adobe blogs, for example, "Did You Miss Framemaker 101 Summer School" also land on the EVENTS page.http://adobe.ly/16LzXQQHas Adobe removed access to all recorded webinars?I am looking for recorded webinars on Framemaker by Bernard Ashwanden, Rick Quattro, Tom Aldous, Barbara Binder, Matthew Sullivan, Russ Ward and, of course, Maxwell Hoffmann.Thanks.

Sometimes my toolbar change like figure above that I cannot use them! If I restart the software, the toolbar will work well.

     Using FM 10, I am having a problem I had several years ago, but do not recall what I did with it.  I have a small book, essentially finished except for indexing.  But when I type, the print is green, not black.  If I delete it, it turns red and cannot be deleted.       Is this a problem with the text file, or with the software itself?  Have I pushed a wrong button somewhere?

(My first hiearchical book in FM11. Win7x64.)I've created a book of two child books.Each child book has:A generated TOC as its first file. Its first paragraph in the primary flow has the paratag dtc-ChapTitle.Content as its second file, with tags such as h1-Head1, h2-Head2, and other paratags.(Side note: that child book design implements the idea of a chapter TOC without using a text inset. That's how this adventure started.)dtc-ChapTitle appears only in the (generated) TOCs of the child books (1's above), not in the content files (2's above).The parent book has two child books and a generated TOC. The generated TOC of the parent book is to include dtc-ChapTitle, h1-Head1, and other paratags.The parent TOC does generate with h1-Head1, and other paratags, but not dtc-ChapTitle.Maybe I don't know how to think about hierarchical books and am clinging to flat-book thinking.Am I being gently nudged toward using the <$chaptertitlename> variable somehow?  Section "cover pages" ?&nb

Working with DITA 1.3 in FrameMaker 2015. Had added several user variables, but after relaunching FrameMaker and loading the XML files, found that the variables had been renamed to fmv1, fmv2, fmv3, etc.Is this because I'm working with the DITA structure?

HelloI think this is more of a product bug than a question. The FrameMaker 2015 interface has really tiny menu items and icons, even when I increase the Windows appearance settings to zoom larger. It doesn't affect FrameMaker. Plus the interface window has holes in it, where I can see right through FrameMaker to other applications behind it. There are strange blanks spaces as well that makes some of it illegible. Here is an example of the top of the window:Also the footer at the bottom is messed up in that you can't read the current Paragraph tag, the zoom level and page numbering:ThanksGerry

I am in the process of rebuilding a failed workstation that had FrameMaker 9 installed.  When I attempt to activate the new installation I get the following error;Excuse the interruption, but...  Our records indicate that this serial number has already been used to set up and activate FrameMaker 9 on two other machines, which is the maximum number allowed.The original workstation is unrecoverable.  How can I get additional activation?

Ex:  Get lists of families of a SessionUIntT i, j; F_StringsT families, weights, variations, angles; F_FontsT perms;/* Get lists of families, variations, weights, and angles. */ families = F_ApiGetStrings(0, FV_SessionId, FP_FontFamilyNames);weights = F_ApiGetStrings(0, FV_SessionId, FP_FontWeightNames);variations = F_ApiGetStrings(0, FV_SessionId, FP_FontVariationNames);angles = F_ApiGetStrings(0, FV_SessionId, FP_FontAngleNames);But i change SessionID by DocID, It can't resturn values.I want get list font using in a document.How can get list fonts of document in FrameMaker by FDK?

  We are using FrameMaker 12 version 12.0.4.445. I first print to a postscript file and afterwards create a pdf file using Adobe distiller. We use the Helvetica World font in the document. As we print out the pdf file on a printer using Adobe Reader XI version 11.0.6, some text is missing.  Any and all assistance will be great on this.

Is there a User Log (history) available in FrameMaker v.11... Also, is there a `Compare`capability in Frame.

I use Frame v. 11 I've had 2 instances of text mysteriously 'disappearing' from my document: once the letter 'a' was globally removed, the 2nd time the word 'installation'. I didn't do these deletions - anyone have any experience with this?

     I just typed this question, then it disappeared, so I do not know if it got submitted.  Here it is again.     Am using FM 10 with a small book.  I had had a problem with marked text  not appearing in the index,which got solved.  Now I have the opposite problem.  The entries appear in the index, but there are no markers in the text.  I can find the words in the text only by going backwards from the entries in the index.      So how do I get the markers to reappear in the text?  Everything works except that the markers do not appear.  I can enter a new entry OK, but the word has no marker on it.  Makes it very difficult to edit the entries.Earle...embus@theroadtoemmaus.org562-242-4926Message was edited by: Earle Fox

I did what was suggested here. I added a TOC Master page. I tried to run the TOC again and got the exact same Book Error Report: No master page applied because one or more master pages do not exist. I must be missing something but I cannot figure out what it is. I went back and checked in a previous book to see if there were Master pages for TOC, LOF, and LOT. There were no Master pages for any of these documents.I know I must be missing something but cannot figure out what it is. Please help if you can. ThanksWhen I try to create a TOC, LOF, & LOT for my book, the dialog says that it cannot complete because one or more master pages do not exist. I know they exist cause I assigned them to documents within the book. And they are visible when I view them. What's going on?37 ViewsTags:TranslateAverage User Rating: No ratings (0 ratings)Average User RatingNo ratings(0 ratings)1.

Now that we can publish content as WebHelp and HTML5 output in FrameMaker 2015, can we still link FM files in RH (in 2015)? I'm trying to publish my content as WebHelp using FrameMaker 2015 and I don't have a lot of control/options on the output as much as I do using RoboHelp. Is it better to do the FM to RH integration? If so, then does TCS 2015 allow linking FM files in RH?Please advice.

Is there a way to connect FrameMaker 11 to Subversion (and TortoiseSVN).  I see that it has Documentum and SharePoint as options, however, we are using Subversion for version control.  I also see the potential of not needing to download all of the linked graphics locally if we have the means to connect with Subversion.

Greetings all,When I generate an index, about half of the markers do not appear in the index.  I have tried every trick I can, but nothing changes.  I have used FM for years and this has never happened before.  It would seem either the book file must be corrupt or the software is.  Someone suggested that the problem was having used another kind of marker just before putting in index markers might have confused the software.  But I have tried over and over without using any other marker types, so that is not the problem.Any ideas???    The book is finished and publisher is waiting.  Just needs an index.

Can you assign a custom Master Page to stay with a page. I'll assign aMaster Page through Format > Page Layout > Master Page Usage but whenpages are added/deleted afterwards, the custom formatting shifts to adjacentpages. I have to go back and manually adjust the Master Page usage assignments.I use Frame 12 on Windows 7

Hi,at the moment we are setting up HTML5 outputs containing manuals for our software. Everything works fine thus far, however we are missing an option to download the output as a PDF file as we would like our users to be able to do so.Is there a hidden (or to me unknown) option, to simply copy&paste the link for the PDF file within FrameMaker and have that option included?Thanks in advance! I appreciate your help.Julian

In a recent webinar, Kapil Verma mentioned FrameMaker 2015's ability to handle ligatures, but he only touched on the subject very briefly and in the context of a demo of right-to-left languages in an Arabic font. Arabic glyphs are completely foreign to my eye, so I couldn't see any change and the discussion was too brief. So did I hear right that FrameMaker 2015 can handle ligatures?
