FrameMaker

I am having a problem with downloading the technical communication suite 5.  On the "install" screen, it stops at "currently installing adobehelp."  Please advise further. Thanks.

I have to drill down about ten clicks to get to my docs. Any way to set a default folder when I open Connection Manager in FM 11?

Dear experts,During developing my script - I can not use the ESTK on my system - with editing it in EditPad (UTF-8 file) and then executing it in FM-12 I got the message: Script Error : Error Message      : Not well-formed (invalid token)Script, Line#   : E:\_DDDprojects\FM-biblio\test-scripts\t-read-formatted.jsx,  6 Fiddling around a lot, deleting initial comment lines, converting the file to Windows code page back and then again to UTF-8 the error persisted.I then run the script in ETSK on the pc of my wife (which is very slow, but is a standard Windows 7 x32 installation) - no problem at all. I saved the script and went back to my system: problem was gone!But now I have the same error with another script. The really strange thing is this: the reported line is always 6, even if I either delete (for the time beeing) irreleant lines or insert such at the beginning.More strange things. My growing script in the project I have mentioned more than o

I see there is an Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition for the deployment of Creative Suite, but not seeing any info for Technical Communication Suite. Can I use this application manager for TCS? Is there any documentation around this or other resources I'm not finding? Thanks in advance.

So I accidentally got both FrameMaker XML Author and regular FrameMaker. I don't need both, so I'd like to cancel my subscription to XML Author. Anyone able to help me with that?

I used to use FrameMaker many years ago. Now a friend is asking what kind of computer to get if she is interested in training in FrameMaker and using it professionally? I thought I would ask here, since I'm sure the situation is probably quite different than it was in the 1990s.

I am using FM 12 to output PDF by using DITA-OT. But I get the following message:BUILD FAILEDD:\DITA-OT1.8.5\build.xml:44: The following error occurred while executing this line:D:\DITA-OT1.8.5\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\build.xml:150: The following error occurred while executing this line:D:\DITA-OT1.8.5\plugins\org.dita.pdf2\build_fop.xml:175: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space  at org.apache.commons.io.output.ByteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray(ByteArrayOutputStream.java:237)  at org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils.toByteArray(IOUtils.java:219)  at org.apache.fop.fonts.truetype.FontFileReader.init(FontFileReader.java:45)  at org.apache.fop.fonts.truetype.FontFileReader.<init>(FontFileReader.java:74)  at org.apache.fop.fonts.truetype.TTFFontLoader.read(TTFFontLoader.java:104)  at org.apache.fop.fonts.truetype.TTFFontLoader.read(TTFFontLoader.java:91)  at org.apache.fop.fonts.FontLoader.getFont(FontLoader.java:205)  at org.apache.fop.fonts.Fon

I am wondering if there are any Extendscripts available or any other way to make the hypertext popup menu links appear and work in Acrobat PDF. I know that there is a $200 add on out there but I am looking for something that is free.Thank you.

Hi,I am new to framemaker. We have a list of Framemaker document files (*.fm files) coming  into a folder.  We need to pick up these files and convert to xml format (same as the saveAs opertion from the File menu).I have written the follwing function to Save fm files to xmlCode to Save fm files to xml filesfunction saveAsXml (doc) {   // Get required parameters for the save function.    var params = GetSaveDefaultParams();    var returnParamsp = new PropVals();       // Replace the .fm extension with .mif.    var saveName = doc.Name.replace (/\.[^\.\\]+$/,".xml");       var i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FileType);    params.propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveFmtXml;    // Save the document as XML.    doc.Save(saveName, params, returnParamsp);}How to automate this process so that code checks -1) New fm files in the folder2)

Hi All,I am trying  to convert a book from .fm to .xml by using the inbuilt menu in FrameMaker.But getting the following errors , since I'am a complete newbie in this ,any help is much appreciated.

I need to separate the task into 2 functions, because the second function will be used multiple times if processing book files.In GetBiblioFromRTF paragraphs from document-1 are stored into a global array.In PasteAtEnd the array-items are read and copied/pasted to the end of the active document-2..If not closing the first document (outcomment line 18), the second document does not become active and hence the data is copied to its end.However, if closing document-1 after filling the global array, the array is empty in each position and nothng is pasted (see the alerts). #target FrameMakervar gaBibliography= [];                           // keep bibliography lines from processed RTFGetBiblioFromRTF ();PasteAtEnd();function GetBiblioFromRTF () {  var nBib = 0, newDoc, pgf, pgf1, tRange;  newDoc = app.ActiveDoc;  pgf = newDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTe

We have a FrameMaker 9 document that contains certain hyperlinks. All of these hyperlinks are dummy. However, when I generate the PDF, and click those links they open in the browser (though the page does not display since the URLs are dummy).I want the URLs to appear as normal text and not as a hyperlink (even though that's dummy!)Any help anyone...Regards,Anamika

when creating the book (pdf) from framemaker, why is it that when i open the pdf and try to find a word, part number etc, it does not work

Dear friends,Again I'm stuck in the jungle of objects and properties...I want to push a pargraph (containing character formats) in an array to be able to get it out later (in another document) for pasting it there (probably multiple times). So I started with the simple case: get 1 para and look whether it is in the clipboard: var gaBibliography= [];                           // bibliography lines from processed RTF// have the file with the formatted bibliography already open, and the bibliography starts in the first paragraphGetBiblioFromRTF ();function GetBiblioFromRTF () {                    // very rudimentary start ...  var newDoc, pgf, pgf1, tRange, index;  newDoc = app.ActiveDoc;    pgf = newDoc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;

Specifically, I need to specify font, font-size, and color for the numbers only. I've tried defining the style attributes in main.css and from Style Mapping on the Publish Settings form. I'm running FrameMaker 12 and generating the Responsive HTML5 with Publish.

I would like to put a paragraph tag in the header of the First Page master page. See below. On the right and left master pages, I would like to put Running H/F 1 variable in the header. The structure of the variable references the paragraph tag (called Title). See below. Is this possible? I tried it on my own but I feel like I am missing something. The reason I am doing this is because I want to divide groups of information into sections without having to put the section name on the first page of a new document or create a stand alone section page.I appreciate any ideas. Thank you!Salome

I have a question about handling whitespace of elements by importing DITA xml into Framemaker 11.On import some elements lose all whitespace after the element.I set to disable dropping whitespaces, the property RemoveExtraWhiteSpacesOnXMLImport in maker.ini to FALSE.This worked for most elements except the element: required-cleanupWhat can I do to preserve the whitespace for the element: required-cleanup.[Thread moved from General forum by moderator]

I keep trying to insert steps in FrameMaker 12 (I am documenting features using a DITA XML file), but my efforts are useless. Every time I save the file, exit FrameMaker, and reopen the file in FrameMaker, my steps are lost. It just goes back to paragraph mode. Does anyone have any suggestions?

As seen in the picture below (also added link for larger picture, will be available 24 h ExtraZoom High Definition image #32005. Zoom in or zoom out high resolution photo.),there is a huge space between the inset (table broken across 2 pages) and the following paragraph. All insets are written in the same way, but only this one happens to look so weird. I've checked the inset and there is no huge space at the end of it.As you can see in the picture below, the end of the page is right at the end of the table's anchor (text cursor can be seen)Any ideas as to what I could possibly do to resolve this?Thank you!

When importing a WORD doc with multichapters into FM12,  do I need to seperate the WORD doc according to the chapters first then do the importing?

I am using FrameMaker 12.0 with Adobe Jenson family of fonts. I am moving a high fantasy novel from Word over to FrameMaker. Currently, the typesetting in word seems tighter than in FM. Please look at these two images:Here is the same text in FrameMaker:While FM does a better job in spacing the first line, it seems to me that Word does a better job for the next two lines. In particular, Word manages to keep the text in 3 lines where FM needed 4. Also, the "Bold" in the author portion of that text in Word appears bolder than in FM.Due to these differences, the first chapter of the novel requires one more page in FM than in word...Any pointers on how to control, improve typesetting in FM?Thanks,

Dear all,To give back some of the knowledge I acquired from this forum I have set up a more or less complete demo of the ScriptUI features.For my project I needed a modeless message function with sound....The script is contained in a ZIP file with all the ancillary items required. The script is not complete, but may be considered a starter: The slider does not adjust to the value entered or vice versa.Nothing is done with the selected items in the list/drop down boxThe layout is static not using the automatic layout.I have used these sourcesESTK sample SnpCreateUIAddMethod.jsx and othershttps://forums.adobe.com/message/3008230#3008230http://www.indiscripts.com/post/2012/05/scriptui-fonts-factsHope this is of some use.

Please let me know the solution of  the error of FrameMaker12  what can I do ?< personal info removed by admin to reduce SPAM >
