Hi,does anybody know a script that resizes all images in a document (e.g. to a given dpi)?It would be even better if the resizing action could be confined to images in anchored frames that are placed in certain paragraph formats, but anything would help.

(FM12 on Win7x64)Anyone else noticing unexpected overrides on object styles?Object styles "govern" each text frame on my master pages.After content editing on Body pages for several days, I returned to the master pages and noticed overrides on every text frame that has an object style applied.Any ideas?Related question: how do I clear an object style from an object, so the object properties do not change and the style is not applied to the object?Best regards,

Have just tried adding the degree symbol to the Symbols menu. The label appeared but when I tried to use it 'x' was inserted instead of the degree symbol. Suspect the definition (<Definition \xB0>) is incorrect. Have tried changing the cmds definition to something that does work  (plusminus <Definition \xB1>)  and all seems okay with that.I am using FM9.0p196 on Windows 7.Tried searching the forum for this topic but have been having trouble getting any results for even the simplest search criteria!CheersStu

I have the Technical Communications program. Is there a new release for Captivate and RoboHelp? Is there a free upgrade?

Does anyone know where the setting is to remove the page number that appears after the Appendix heading in the TOC?? As shown below, I'd like not to have the page number generated when the TOC is created. Thank you!

Hi all,I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to add a prefix every time there's a line break within a certain element. I'm importing XML into FM with a structure that looks something like this:<note>     <elem1>Some text here.     <elem2>Some text here;that contains a line break.     <elem3>More text here.</note>I have specified in the read/write rules that each sub-element should preserve line breaks. I have also specified in the EDD that each sub-element should have the prefix "-".So when importing into FM, the text currently looks like this:Notes:- Some text here.- Some text here;that contains a line break.- More text here.However, what I'd like it to look like is this...Notes:- Some text here.- Some text here;- that contains a line break.- More text here.Does anyone know if this is possible to accomplish within FM? Maybe by using the read/write rules? I'm pretty new to FM so any help is gr

I have a book with 9 chapters. In each chapter are numbered headings (1; 1.1; 1.2; 2; 2.1; 2.1.1; etc). I cannot get the numbers to incremment from one chapter to the next. In every chapter, they begin again with 1. I've tried to change it in chapter-level Numbering Properties and the book-level Number Properties, and they still refuse to incremment. Page numbers will incremment across chapters though - that one worked. What am I missing?

How do I install Acrobat Distiller Version 5.05 or higher

I have a subscription to FrameMaker 12. It was installed on my home and work computer. I no longer work for this employer and I uninstalled the program from my work computer. Is there any way my former employer can still access the program?

FrameMaker v11 crashes when scrolling within a file using a mouse wheel or Lenovo trackpoint. I have encountered this problem in multiple versions of FrameMaker. It does not crash if I use the scrollbar within the window. Is this just a known problem that has never been corrected, or is there a fix?

I have manuals I create that are based on other manuals and so I often copy whole folders, rename files and start there. This creates a problem with extra graphics in my Linked graphics folder when I'm done with a book. There are many that I've taken out of the book but they remain in the folder. When it comes to getting translations made I end up having a huge graphics folder to send along and I like to delete all the unused graphics. Is there a way to create a list of the graphics actually in the manual so I can quickly find them in my graphics folder and delete them?Thanks for any insights.Jon

Sorry, sometimes ago I asked something similar, but I can't finde the topic...Anyway: from Version 8, the command "Save as" doesn't work properly, especially saving from a format to another.Until version 7 it worked, now (from version 😎 it seems to work as a "Save a copy".For example,  if I have a .mif file, and save it as .fm file, changing only file extension (Goofy.mif --> Goofy.fm), my open file still remains the same .mif file (Goofy.mif), while a .fm copy, called Goofy.fm is saved  properly. So, if I want to work on my new file I have to close the mif file, and then reopen the .fm file.It seems a bug to me, because if I save (not export, or save a copy) a file, in any programs, with a different name, I expect that my open file will change name (as it did until version 7 of FM).

I installed the Frame demo version and the UI is tiny. I mean miniscule and unreadable. Is this normal? and how do I change the interface view to a readable size?

Using FM 10, how do I turn a long document (150 pages) into a book?Earle

Hi.I'm creating a Table of Contents in Japanese but my formatting is not coming out as is set in my Reference Page. I've done TOCs in many foreign languages so I'm pretty confident my settings are correct. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the Japanese language / font? Does FrameMaker 12 support Hyojuno language? I've tried to fake my way through it by manually changing the font size / weight to what they're supposed to be, but then the font changes to question marks (even when only changing the font size). I've included some pics below. Anyone have any thoughts on what's going on? Thanks.This is what it looks like now with the incorrect formatting in the Head 1s. They need to be the same size as the Head 2, but bold. The leader lines are also missing.Here's a look at the Paragraph Designer for my Reference Page. The Language is set to English because I don't have Hyojungo as an option. And here's my tab stops on my Reference Page that should be creating the leader lines.TIA

Dear Adobe,We are using Adobe FM 11 and 8 in our organization, can you confirm we can use it on the same laptop?or it has to be on separate machine?ThanksJameel

I am creating documents with numbered headings (i.e. 1; 2; 2.1; 2.1.1; 2.1.2; 2.2; etc). I set up the heading numbering system using the Numbering tab in the Paragraph Designer. Whenever I try to insert a numbered list into the document, however, the heading numbers re-sequence after the list, and they do so in no logically discernible order. Has anyone else seen this issue before?

I'm having trouble adding an 11x17 master page. Advice?

Using the XML Author portion of Framemaker 12 (code view) and validating to a Navy IETM DTD. Occassionally when I open the xml file in Framemaker and add another element such as a para, when I type the closing > of the para opening tag Framemaker does not automatically insert the ending tag (</para>) and states "the element 'para' has invalid child element 'para'. If I manually add it, it removes the ending tag from the next para element below it and messes up the xml file. I have to undo or close without saving. Does anyone know why this would happen. The DTD has relative reference to a parent directory on win7 laptop. Sometimes it works fine and other times it does this quirky thing. Thanks.

I've tried to set up new paragraph styles using the Paragraph Designer. I input all of my parameters and click APPLY. When the dialog box appears, I tell it to add the new style to the catalog and apply it to the document. All's well with t he world. However, when I click on the new paragraph name in the Paragraph Catalog, the paragraph reverts to some default setting. Now I'm hating life. Anyone else had this problem? Know of a fix?

Hi,I’m looking at Thai in FrameMaker 2015 and while there are no issues with the text displaying correctly, I’m having trouble with the formatting. The text is not wrapping at the end of the line. Where there is a space indicating the end of a sentence, if the next sentence is too long to fit on the line, it gets knocked down to the next line rather than breaking somewhere in the middle, which is leaving large gaps in the paragraph. Any suggestions as to how to stop this from happening so that the text wraps normally or is this not possible? I know that the line endings may not be grammatically correct if the text wraps but we have a workaround for that part.Many thanks,Kate

In a doc I inherited, they have a small graphic/icon in the upper right or left of the page, as part of the header.The running header is fine sometimes, but other times it overlaps with the icon.I'd like to narrow the running header so it does not overlap with the grahic icon, but I have had trouble figuring out how to do that.

Opening a long-ago document from a former colleague, I find a few minor inconsistencies; specifically, a couple of styles with the wrong language setting. Before rolling up my sleeves and correcting them via mif, I thought I'd experiment with Search options:Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to locate any of the content with language set to US English. Am I hoping for too much, or have I missed something in setting up the search properties?

Hello Everyone,The Leading Dots appear for "Heading1TOC" but not for "Heading1BreakTOC" when the table of contents is generated. The same is happening with "Heading2TOC" having leading dots and "Heading2+TOC" not having leading dots. Does anyone know why? All the Tab Stops settings are exactly the same for both. This repeats through the entire Contents in every chapter. Usually impatient, I just manually insert a "Tab" to generate the dots but it would be nice if I could expand my horizons and understand why.
