FrameMaker

Hi.In a FrameMaker book, I have several chapters. When I publish to WebHelp, what I want to see is just each chapter turned in to its own topic. But FrameMaker does is put each topic in its dedicated book (see graphic below). What I'd like to see is one book (5.7 ReleaseNotes) and chapter-based topics beneath it. In short, I'd like to remove the intermediate book layer. If there's a way to configure this, please advise as to how to do it. It's not clear how to do this from the settings.Thanks!-Kurt

Yesterday, I downloaded FM v12 Trial, upgraded to full version with license/serial number, and used it with some existing .fm files for initial testing.Today, using same icon on Start Menu and/or Desktop, I only have XML Author.What happened to full install?

Is there a simple way in which I can apply the index marker to all the header paragraph tag in  a framemaker 11 book?

Good morning,    I am using FM's Publish command for the first time, producing HTML output. I have a paragraph format that I want to map to an HTML heading with a class attribute (for example, something like <h1 class="x">. For FM paragraphs that map to HTML <p> elements, I can specify a class attribute by selecting an output style in the Style Mappings section of the Publish settings. I can map a paragraph format to a heading element by typing the element name in the User Defined HTML Tag text box. But I'm not able to put the two together. Am I missing a way to do so? Thanks.   --Lynne

FrameMaker 7.0 - Is there any easy way disconnect multiple frames? I have MANY pages that I have changed the page size. If I try Format >. customize layout > either disconnect previous or disconnect both - neither work.

When I try to open FrameMaker 11 the process fails. The problem seems to do with the gomarkup.dll file. How do I solve his problem?

Using FM10. Have to create a PDF file only occasionally. Always used the plug-in that came with FrameMaker. We decided to download the trial version of Acrobat X. Used it for awhile but didn't see any great advantages to buying it. For the work we're doing, the Save as PDF feature in FrameMaker worked just fine. So I deleted Acrobat X. Now the distiller is gone as well. I can no longer Save as PDF in FrameMaker. When I try, I get the error message, "To execute 'Save as PDF' command, you must have Acrobat Distiller version 5.05 or higher installed."How do I get the distiller back? We purchased and downloaded FrameMaker on-line so I have no CD.

I want to copy the content of several table cells in an other table of the same document. How can I do this so that the text is copied in several cells again and not all the content in only one cell?Margot

I'm trying to install Frame 9 on a new Win 7 machine.  I have it running on one Win 7 machine just fine.  That machine is being replaced with a new Win 7 machine (same SP level).  But, just as the Frame 9 installation almost gets finished, it fails with a pop-up box that says:Error  1935: An error occurred during the installation of assembly component{98CB24AD-52FB-DB5F-A01F-C8B3B9A1E18E}.HRESULT: 0x80070BC9.Any ideas what I need to fix to get Frame 9 to install?

version 7 - I have MANY pages that are booked. I just want to find a way to easily update the master pages all at once.

I want to add the trademark symbol (TM) in my document. I added it to the Reference page in the Character Macros table (like they said in the Adobe help file). But, what next? How do I insert it in the document? I don't see it listed in the Character Designer list.Judy

FrameMaker  12.0.3.424, Acrobat XI Pro 11.0.09.Using Save As PDF from FrameMaker to generate PDF from book file.  In the PDF Setup Dialog, using CMYK option generates a PDF but colors are muted.  Using RGB generates PDF with good colors, but one image appears as gray.  This image is a JPG, imported by reference and also used in other documents.  Image appears in PDF if CMYK is used.  Is this a bug or is there another setting that needs to be adjusted?  Thanks in advance....

Am seeing "Do not have write permission" msg when trying to close FrameMaker 12 file and file doesn't close. Any thoughts on how to solve this? Thanks.

Hi,I want to copy similar images from one FM book to another FM book. My creating this new FM book involves lot of image copying, and I do not wish to import files all over again. It is damn tedious. Is there a way out? Please help.

Hello everybody!I will use Adobe FrameMaker 12 in author mode in an upcomming project, and I will continue testing it for two more weeks. As I am new to XML and document creation, I finished an online tutorial about XML and started now to create a document. I entered all files in one directory, then tested & corrected the contents with oXygen XML Author 16. Now, I opened the same files under FrameMaker 12 and have a lot of errors. As XML is a standard, I think that my code is not the problem. Do you have an idea why one & the same documents are evaluated differently by the two tools?Thank you for your suggestions!Note: As ist is not possible to upload a ZIP file, I add two images to show the problem.[Moved from Scripting forum by moderator]

Is it possible to create a paragraph tag (Figure Title) that would automatically put an anchored frame above it that is 6.9 wide by 7.5 height?

Hi,Here's what I have: A book comprising seven files. But, the files aren't so much chapters as chunks of content.What I want to do: If content in a file ends on an odd page, start the next file on the next even page.What doesn't work: I can use chapter-level pagination to delete empty pages and set the starting side as next available. So, if file (chapter) 1 ends on page 7, then the beginning of the next file will indeed be page 8. BUT, the beginning of the next file uses a right-hand master page, so it uses a right page layout for a left page.Thoughts? Thanks.

How can I make a new purchase of TCS 4?

Hi, Does anyone know how to fix this? I get a message on startup that FM cannot find a default printer and that I should set one in the control panel. So I go to the control panel, where the check mark indicates Adobe PDF is the default printer, and I change it to a real printer in the office and go back to FM and try to print, but I get the same message, cannot find default printer and I am unable to print.Is there any history of this problem?ThanksLygia

Hello all,Our company uses Google docs extensively for all types of documentation. As the technical writer, I am the odd one out. Now, management tasked me with finding a way to bridge Framemaker [draft] content with Google docs. The reason is to provide the Engineers with a way to review and edit documents on a OS agnostic (and commonly used) platform.Unfortunately, Google docs isn't making this the least bit easy! In particular, Google docs severely limits PDF to gdocs conversion to about 10 pages. Even using Acrobat's Split Document tool (and then splitting the document into many smaller parts), I am still missing many pages!This has become a huge dilemma! Any ideas are appreciated. Thank you

We have a document ( 140 Pages long), which has a fixed text , chapters and also need to be produced 100+ variations of that doc based on variables for each book. We are building a database of variables and the values they take for each book. What we want to know is , Does Frame maker can take these variable values embedded into the doc ? if yes, what kind of interfaces are supported CSV, XML etc to take variables

When you need the title of the document importing into a document, you can use the variable <$filename>.This is useful as you can have a template that changes its name with the name of the file.However, the variable always writes the document name with the file extension (for example help.fm) making the variable useless.

Hello ,I have started trying to publish my documents to HTML5 via FM11's Publish pod.The output is quite good but when I try and create a book, or more than one file, I just get X FrameMaker book files could not be found.Any ideas?
