FrameMaker

I have a client requesting that we create an "XML template" in Frame Maker. They state that they will give us an XML template for one section of the manual for us to create "the rest of the templates". We have done Structured Frame documents with supplied EDD (DTD) files, but have not done any XML authoring.Question:1)  Are there  "XML templates"? Or do you think they are confusing this with the EDD (DTD) files?2)  Would there not be only one file, whether it be an "XML template" or a  EDD (DTD) file?My guess is that they are confusing "XML template" with the EDD (DTD) file (unless someone tells me different), and that they have a EDD for another manual that they want expanded for this new manual they want created. But I thought I better ask in case I was confused.

I am watching a couple of videos for converting a Framemaker document to DITA.  I notice that in the videos there are several new toolbars available:ElementStructureToolsDITAS1000DI am not seeing any of these toolbars when I open Framemaker 11.  Any idea what's going on.ThanksLiz

I can't generate a LOP for a paragraph design that is included in the Master Page.Sorry for my English and thanks for the answer

I have noticed this issue in my quick access toolbar as well as the Marker window.  It appears that the image it displays when not rolled over is of a different resolution than when I rollover, causing a noticeable, and at times drastic shift in the icons themselves.  Any suggestions on how to correct this problem would be greatly appreciated.---Corey---

I have about 50 .fm files, and 4 .book files, each of which includes about 20 of the .fm files.I want to rename some of the files.If I open all four .book files at once, and I go to First.book and rename file Q, I want it to be renamed in all the other .book files in which it happens to be included.How can I do that?Thanks.

In the FDK Programmer's Guide, it says<quote>  Compiling and registering your own FDK clients....With Code Generation still selected, choose Single-Threaded from the Runtime Librarypopup list.</quote>However, in Visual Studio, there are only 4 options for Multi-threaded and no option for Single-threaded.  I'm running Visual Studio Express 2010, v10.0.30319.1.  The instructions are quite detailed, so I think I am looking in the correct place.Any suggestions?

(FM12.0.3)I love the concept of the Currently Opened Files pod.If I specify all-files and then select save-and-close, or close without saving, FM asks me to confirm the save (or not) for each individual file.Likewise, if I specify all-files and then clear the option boxes for a couple of files in the list, FM asks me to confirm the save (or not) for each file.Perhaps I misunderstand the intent of this feature.Does an option exist, perhaps through Preferences, for me to tell FM to omit confirmation from this pod?(Yes, the keyboard shortcut for confirm-yes or confirm-no is rather quick.)Best,

Is it possible to roll back from an FM12 patch?For example, if I install 12.0.4 on 12.0.3, then decide I do not like it because it breaks something that I need, can I roll back to 12.0.3?Or if not roll back, can I accomplish the same goal by installing 12.0.3 on top of 12.0.4?Got the general idea?Best,

Why there is no combined font can be selected in "Replace With" field?

(Unstructured FM12 on Win7, but this probably predates FM12).Does a thread exist for this in another forum?I see inconsistent behavior of cross references. In FM, Ctrl+Alt-click consistently works.In the pdf, clicking on some cross references works while others are dead.When I delete all content of the source FM file, save, and then create two simple new targets and cross-references to them, behavior in FM and the pdf is as expected. No dead links.When I create a new FM file from one of the blank templates, then create two simple new targets and cross-references to them, behavior in FM and the pdf is as expected, like in the previous example. No dead links.So perhaps my real FM file is corrupt?Maybe, but MIF washing the file does not seem to help.Uh: Help!Best regards,

Hoping someone can help me. I'm using:Framemaker 11Documentum 6.5 emc-dfs-sdk-6.5Java JRE 1.5.0_22. Importing small books works fine, but when I import large books from my local filesystem to Documentum, after a couple minutes (exact time varies), I often get a "502 bad gateway" error.  For a given book, the error seems to happen in the same place every time, but some books get further than others. Small books import fine, and if I remove half the contents from larger books (doesn't matter which half), they will generally finish importing. The resulting folder structure often has most of the files (except the book) and virtual documents are not yet assigned. Occasionally the book will even import, but it doesn't have any virtual documents assigned. I suspected a timeout issue, but toying with UCF timeout in the ucf folder didn't seem to help. I've also tried the import from different/faster machines and had the same result. Is there any debugging I can do to figure out what's goin

"The LHD configuration in Figure 5.1 will result in the matrix in Figure 5.3. This LHD has 10 rows and 3 columns. It can be used to run a simulation experiment with 10 runs and 3 factors. Users can choose to export the entire LHD matrix to the local machine or make subselections of the  generated LHD matrix and export the specified subselection (as in Section 4.3)"Each of those "Figure X.X" should be a link to an image? How to??Thank in advance

When printing to a PDF page larger than your FM document, try this:Use File > Print Book, set up your printer for Adobe PDF and 11x17 (or whatever your preferred page size is), and deselect Generate Acrobat Data. Turn on Registration marks if you like. Then, print, and the book should print, centered, on the larger page size.Hope this helps somebody.

I have serial numbers but they want registered, how do I get them registered?

Hi, does anyone know how to change the character tag, I want to change it from body to link for some marks, thanks in advance.

Hi,I have a bleed on one edge of my page. I can extend the image 1/8 inch off the page, but am uncertain whether doing so will produce the desired result for the print vendor because I cannot see it in FM12. Am distributing a PDF, is this the best way to set up a bleed?

I have the standalone FM 12 running in unstructured mode on WIndows 7. I created a few custom workspaces and have been using those and some of the built-in workspaces. Today I was working in a book file and noticed that the Workspace somehow changed to "None." and all the workspaces are missing from the dropdown menu. Any idea how I can get my Workspaces back?Thanks.

Ein FDK-Client, der unter Windows XP einwandfrei funktioniert, unter Windows 7 funktioniert nur bei Benutzern mit lokalen Adminrechten. Bei Benutzern mit Standardrechten bricht die Ausführung ab mit Fehlermeldung „Interner Fehler 9004, 6919244, 9675646, 0“.

I am a relative newcomer and am not sure if this question belongs here.  If not, please let me know.I am about to upgrade to Windows 8.1 (won't go into why) and of course I need to make sure FrameMaker 11 works there.  Does it?Thanks ALOT in advance.Herry

I downloaded the Akamai download manager, now I am trying to download a trial version of Framemaker 12. I click on "Resume the download process", the download manager window opens but the file does not start downloading. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Last week Adobe support helped me download and install the Techncial Communication Suite. However today I want to use FrameMaker and RoboHelp and I can't figure out how to open the applicaitons. Please help me. I have been trying to get started for three weeks.

Hi,I have Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.0, which has FrameMaker 10.0.2.249 in it.I created a user guide in FrameMaker, some of the chapters for which I imported from Word, and little bits of text here and there of which I copied and pasted from Word.a) When I created a RoboHelp project and imported the Frame files, a little bit of content disappeared. A sentence here, a bulleted item there, not all the content I copied and pasted.b) I thought I would save the Frame files as .MIF and then reopen them in Frame to get rid of any corruption. They saved as .MIF just fine and they open again with Frame just fine. However, when I try to Save As .FM, I get the message that .MIF cannot be saved as .FM.I checked the extension in the Save As box and it has no mention of .MIF.What to do? Any suggestions either for a) or b)?
