FrameMaker

fm11 in win7.In the document I'm working on, some lines appear to be in a paragraph tag named "RegName". But this "RegName" can not be found in the catalog, ie if I click on the arrow to select the paragrah tag, "Regname" is not included.Thanks for your help.Stephane.

How do I get conditional text to print as black?

I'm getting the following error message in FrameMaker 12 Structured and can't generate output with DITA-OT: "The DITA-OT directory specified in Options is invalid, unable to generate output"

Hi,I am working on conversion of Frame documents to XML. While working on the conversion table, I see that tables with a table title in a frame like the one below get incorrectly converted to XML. I want to delete the frame and move the table title out of the frame. How do I make this change universally? Thanks,Nishita

(FM12 on Win7)For files that I upgraded from FM11, I now see messages in the FM console that I did not notice from FM11:"MIF: "<file path> [#####]: Condition settings must not change between <XRef> and <XRefEnd>.Apparently FM12 reports an anomaly that FM11 did not.What is the importance or significance of these reports?Best regards,

Hello fellows,I am trying to set a permanent bottom padding between an anchored frame and a graphic object (embedded Visio) that is inside the anchored frame.However, instead of getting that padding below the graphic, the aframe becomes really small, and only 20% of the graphic is exposed.The code goes like this:...SET vFrame = vCurrentDoc.FirstGraphicInDoc;Loop While(vFrame)IF vFrame.ObjectName = 'AFrame'SET vFrame.AnchorType = AnchorBelow;SET vFrame.GraphicIsSelected = 1; SET vGraphic = vFrame.FirstGraphicInFrame // Select the 1st graphic in the frameSET vFrame.Width = vFrame.TextLoc.InTextObj.Width;SET vFrame.Height= vGraphic.Height + 5mm; //Here is the padding of 5mmSet vGraphic.LocY = 0mm;Set vGraphic.LocX = (vFrame.Width - vGraphic.Width) / 2;ENDIF...Please, advise!Thank you!

I need to map elements within a Structured FrameMaker file into RoboHelp structure without using Paragraph Styles.I have nicely structured FrameMaker but the appearance is dictated by the EDD element having text attributes. We do not use Paragraph Styles.There must surely be a way of mapping directly from FrameMaker elements into Robohelp 'elements'I want to get HTML5 etc using the FM12 Publish method (or even RoboHelp via TCS5).I have done a fair amount of searching but have found nothing to help. Can this be done?

This seems like a very basic issue but I could not find any infos about it. I assume the main dictionary is stored as a language-specific file at some location. I would like to remove unneeded terms; I don't know about other languages but the German dictionary contains some very outdated words as well as verbosity unrelated to our industry sector.I have checked the folder \users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Linguistics but this is empty.

framemaker 7.0 Many times I get the he error "The filter encountered an error and could not complete the transaction" when I am importing a .jpg graphic.I have to convert the graphic from .jpg to another format (usually .gif). Is there any fix for this?

First, thank you.Does anybody know if there is a way to put "rounded corners" on text frames?Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I run a script from a command line, I get the "You are about to run a script in Adobe FrameMaker 12. You should only run a script from a trusted source." Etc. The ExtendScript Toolkit docs say "the user-script folder of installed Adobe applications". Any idea where this would be for FrameMaker 12? Thanks.-Rick

Hello, everyoneIn using FM10 in Windows7, I've experienced the problems below.1) A black square(■) is displayed while an ASTARISK element is set in the structure view. ("*1" is displayed on another computer )2) Different BODY elements are used but no return is inserted between the sentences.Acutually, I already know the solution to the problems: import an element definition to the file.If you know the (possible) "cause" of the problem, please let me know.[Message moved to FM Structured Forum by moderator]

Can Framemaker 12 save files down in Framemaker 11 and 10 ? Is it backward compatible? Thanks,

I have 30 days to resolve this issue on my laptop, before I guess the software will stop working.  I'm using FrameMaker 10 on my laptop, which had an upgraded hard drive.  The previous hard drive has been destroyed.  When I launched FrameMaker 10 today it indicated the version I have is still active on the previous hard drive.  How do I DE-ACTIVATE that previous version if I no longer have the hard drive?

Hi there.I am having an issue with my Table of Contents.  All my links works except for the items that have a superscript in them.  In the example below, when I create the PDF and hover over the items the three words of (Modes of Operation) are hot links that take me to page 26.  When I hover over the second entry I2C Digital Interface the only item that is a hot link is the letter I.  Our goal is to have the entire entry a hot link for customers to hit and go directly to the page.  I think the superscript is breaking the link.Example below:Modes of Operation .........26I2C Digital Interface ............28 HELP!!!

Does anyone know how to make the images inside my FM files look better?  The images are 150 dpi and look perfectly fine when I output to PDF.  I would like to have a better viewing experience inside FM.  Can I change any computer settings, etc. to fix this? Thanks, in advance, for advice.

Is it possible when I pull in a structured document into FM and export the element catalog to EDD that the document itself breaks its own structure? That appears to be what is happening. I am wondering if this is a common occurrence and if I simply need to modify the generated EDD to handle this case? I find it odd that a structured file doesn't adhere to its own defined structure when FM generates the EDD from the document itself. I did not create the structured document, it is given to me by and outside company so I really dont know anything about how it is created and whether or not the described scenario would make any sense.Thanks in advance for any info. one can provide on this matter.Gavin

今回新規でFrameMaker12の購入を考えているのですが、確認したい点がありますので、以下ご教示頂けないでしょうか。FrameMaker12を使用する場合、PDFの編集を行わないのであれば、Adobe Readerでも使用可能でしょうか。それとも、Acrobat XIを入れないとFrameMaker12を入れることが出来ないのでしょうか。

Using FrameMaker 10 on Windows:I have a book with an odd-sized page (3¾ x 8½) that I am printing on regular 8½ x 11 paper.  Each file of the book uses a common page layout, common reference pages, &c. In the File—>Print menu, I have selected either Western or Tombo registration marks. When I print some of the individual files of the book, I can get the registration marks to appear. But for other files in the book — or when I attempt to print the entire book — registration marks will not appear.What attribute of a file (or book) controls whether registration marks can be produced?

Hi,I am creating a manual where I have a cover page and chapters. On the cover page I have the Running H/F1 variable in the footer. I also want it on the chapter pages, but when I update the book file, it is not picking it up.Is there a way to fix this?Thanks!

We currently use FM11 to create PDF books that consist of 100 or more individual files (chapters). We manually create group sections which contain the individual chapters. The chapters use heading paragraph tags 1 thru 3. When the PDF book is created, the tags for each chapter are expanded in the bookmark view.  Is there a way to only show the chapter title without the paragraph tags expanding?  Thank you in advance.

I am completely new to Fm, using Fm 11, have a limited understanding of XML and trying to show a proof of concept for a task I was given. In a nutshell, I was given an existing EDD and a publication that contains txt and graphics; these files are Fm files. I am trying to export the valid EDD to a DTD using the Fm  StructureTools -> Save As DTD function and get an error saying the Application "X" does not exist. Reset the app name for the EDD or define a new application. I see at the top of the EDD the tag Structured Application: X , but I cannot figure out what I need to do with this tag/element to get the EDD to save as a DTD. My thought is to use Fm to export the EDD and publication files as XML, then use a script, eventually, to insert new elements throughout the publication, import the marked up XML files back into Fm. I have searched the web, adobe user guides, and various tutorials trying to understand this problem but so far notta. Can someone point me to an example or p
