FrameMaker

After inserting tables into headers (in master pages), I can't see the Insert Table dialog box when I try to insert a table on a body page. If I hit Escape, normal function resumes. If I hit Enter, I get a table, with the current values in the dialog box. Any idea why it's not showing ??

I'm keep getting Internal Error 11024, 23851332, 23851626, 26595125 on structured FrameMaker 11. Any Idea?

How to connect disconnect pages in FM12?

My account payment is up to date (I'll get that out of the way).When I start FM12 a dialog box opens showing "00" Days Remaining with a Buy Now button.  At the bottom of this dialog box there is a "License This Software" button.  I click that and, as expected, the username is pre-populated with my actual Adobe ID.  I then enter my correct password, click Sign In and see a small collection of tiny blue and gray squares rotating in a clockwise direction with the Sign In screen grayed out in the background.  I watch those squares rotate... and continue watching them roatate; 2 hours later, they're still rotating.  Again, getting the obvious out of the way... yes, the ID and Password are correct.  Yes, the internet connection is fine, in fact, it's stellar at 125mps down and 25mps up.I need to work on a project.  I just want to use the product Adobe already has my money for.Any ideas

Hi All,How to get a Numbered list paragraphs count in frame maker - 11 application document.Thanks for any help.

I have tried all the options available to me, but FrameMaker keeps getting it all wrong. There must be a way to do this, but I cannot figure it out. Maybe someone else has experience with this and can point out where the solution is. Or maybe someone from Adobe can explain what the thinking behind the book numbering scheme is, so that I can figure out how to adapt it to my needs.Here is the setup (simplified): I have a master book with a couple of chapters and some nested books.master bookchapter 1chapter 2nested book Achapter A1chapter A2chapter A3chapter 3nested book Bchapter B1chapter B2chapter 4I cannot use folders or groups as the nested books must also be available as separate books for publishing to the online help system. This is the reason for choosing books over groups or folders in the first place. In the online help system I do not need any chapter numbering, so everything works fine. But now that I also need to produce a PDF, the numbering logic (or lack thereof) is giving

Why my Character Pallet in Utilities always blink and disappear? I cannot add special characters. It's very annoying. Could anyone help? Thanks in advance.

I'm using Frame maker 10, and need text frame need to fit into content. What I'm doing is drag the frame manually. Is there any shortcut or script for this?@

After that several customers have complained that the figure-captions in the pdf-files have dissappeared I had to look into it. Earlier pdf:s were made from FM10. I have upgraded to FM12 after a hard-disk crash. After correcting the proofs in FM12 and sending them to the customers they have lost the figure-captions, but not in the FM-file only in the pdf. Looking  at one rather big file I noticed that the caption disappeared on pages where the fig was a .TIF but not if it was a .JPEG. Changing all the .TIF-figures to .JPEG solved the problem. This is a very serious bug for us that have repeated updates on manuals etc. Please look into it.

How can I make a silent install of Framemaker 11?

While opening a book in FrameMaker 11, as I tried to open all files in the book, I received this error. How can I open the files without having any issues or errors?

I'm sure I'm missing something basic here, but any assistance is appreciated.

I have Adobe FM 7.2 with the Patch B144 on Windows 7 x64 and when I try to install the new patch AdobeFrameMaker7_2p158Patcher.exe I get the error "get disk space file error" and the window freeze.

Since FM12 was an upgrade, I am wondering if I can uninstall FM10 to free up disk space.Thanks

Does anyone knows how to move the S1000D_XmlDir away from the default installation directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12)? I want to have the S1000D application on a shared directory over network, so all users use the same configuration.

Is there a way to print to PDF form from FrameMaker?

I have recently upgraded from FM8 to FM12 on Windows 7. I am finding that FM is not showing certain imported (by reference) graphics when the FM file's zoom level is 100%. The graphics display fine at other zoom levels.There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to which graphics "disappear," they are all GIF files imported at 96 dpi. Some are images that were in the FM files before we upgraded, and some have been imported after the upgrade.This behavior is not impeding my work, but it is irritating. Has anyone else experienced this oddity? Any suggestions on getting FM to display all graphics when the zoom level is 100%? Thanks.

In my unstructured book, page, table and figure numbering is all correct. All 89 figures number correctly. I can't get the PDF bookmarks for chapters 2 and 8 correct. Each of the chapters have a bookmark, but no expanded bookmarks. They should have several. My TOC may have a clue as to what is wrong: only the links for chapter 1 work. All of the other chapters in the TOC show a link is present, but nothing happens with a click.I've used the same formatting throughout the book; e.g., paragraph tags, master pages, etc. I only have 2 master pages – first and right. First is used for the first page of each chapter. When I save to PDF these 2 chapters separately, the chapter title ends up at the end of the bookmark list instead of the top. I know something is off, but I don't know what to look for. Tags that I don't see? Very frustrating.I'm relatively new to FM and don't understand the tags in the reference pages. I haven't intentionally created any formatting tags in the reference pages.

I have been printing a book successfully for weeks now, and today did an edit to one chapter in the book. Now when I save the book as PDF, I get this in the log:%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: Text ]%%Stack:/Body/T-mark-%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%I thought I fixed it because it was originally producing a "view only file" message (for the one chapter that I changed) while generating. I renamed the file, turn the lock on and off, and don't get the view only message, but still no PDF, either save-as-pdf of the individual chapter or the whole book. Can anyone help? I've never encountered this.Thanks in advance.Jim

My fingers seem to remember this as a shortcut for moving round tables (move down to cell below) … but while t,m,n and t,m,p are still enabled for next and previous, 'up' and 'down' seem to have disappeared. Is there anything a mere user can do about this?This is in FM 10; if the request approved in July ever comes to fruition, I could be moving to FM 12 Real Soon Now, and even getting Admin rights so I can cautiously make tweaks.

We are using Framemaker 12, and there is a need to create hotspots withing troubleshooting flowcharts that are contained in it, our biggest question is what is the easiest way to make this work, and will the hotspot carry over into a PDF document once we create it.Thanks,David

Hi all,I'm beginning to dig into FM12 multi-channel publishing. I have stripped down my unstructured template to a more minimalist model in order to flex better to multiple outputs. My current document template has several ANSI-based alert styles (Danger, Warning, etc.) that reference heading images in the reference pages. These heading images do not show up when I publish to HTML5. The header images are important to these styles, but I am loathe to add them manually to each instance, obviously. Is it possible to call reference page images when publishing to HTML 5, or should I change my styles? I know that this will not be an issue when I to migrate to XML, but I'm hoping to find a quick fix in the meantime. I suspect that if there is an unstructured solution to this, it's hiding in the style mapping settings.Thanks in advance for your advice!

Hi all,with FM 12 (but already in FM 😎 I see the character formatting for a conditional text to be continued into and up to the end of the next condition (directly following), although the first condition does not apply here any more.This seems to happen only if more than one time in a sentence this constellation "a second conditional text follows directly after a first one" occurs.The result is a mixed color for the following text and also e.g. underline/strikethrough are both active.And: This does never happen to the first occurence, only with the latter ones in the same sentence.After putting a space only once between a "Condition end" indicator and the following "Condition start" indicator, this behaviour may then disappear in all occurences.I would like to know if there is another way to have the conditions displayed correctly -- inserting spaces everywhere between conditions as a preventive measure and only for formatting reasons does not seem to be a good choice.Best - T

since some versions ago (may be from 9), when you save a mif file as fm you will save a copy of the file, but the open mif file remains the same, a mif file with .mif extension.Is it a bug or a special setting I can change somewhere?
