FrameMaker

FrameMaker 9 book files have the correct master page applied and page numbers appear right. However, when generating PDF, the page numbers including the footer is missing.I created another book file, yet same issue occurs.Also, tried generating separate PDF for each chapter, same issue occurs.I have installed Univers font from ATM, I'm using WIndows XP. The Footer tags are in Univers font. Could that be the reason?Please advise.

We are using FrameMaker 11 in a Windows 7 environment.This is what happens.1. We go into our chapter template and verify that "Table A" is formatted exactly how we want it.a. The table has a heading row.b. The heading row is shaded light blue.c. The heading row has a medium border on top and bottom.d. The heading row has text in is that is set to a Table Heading paragraph style.e. The table's last row has a bottom ruling of medium.f. All ruling in the table is set to a shade of blue.2. We save the chapter template.3. We open a book's chapter.4. We apply the table formatting from the chapter template to the book chapter.5. We find a table that was made without a heading row, but the top row was formatted to resemble the heading row in appearance. The table also has black ruling.6. We block the entire existing table.7. We click on "Table A" in the table catalog.Expected behavior: The existing table takes on the exact formatting of "Table A" (the six points mentioned above under #1).Actua

I can not save a file to the same location that I got it from. I get error messages saying: can't open the .lck file and 2. that I don't have permission and yet I can save other file formats perfectly well. I can save the FM files to a different location, for example my desktop.I installed some Windows updates earlier on. I'm using WinXP SP3.I'd like to know if there is a known reason for this?Graham

Frame 11, unstructured Book, how can I make one book hidden text?

I have installed FrameMaker8 and RoboHelp. These come with RoboScreenCapture. When I try to do a screencapture using RoboScreenCapture with the auto-scroll setting enabled, I seem not to be able to capture a webpage (on IE) that is with a vertical scrollbar. The capture seems to be cropped and does not show the entire length. Can you help me to get this working. I have checked, the version of RoboScreenCapture on my laptop is 2.0.

I've migrated from a laptop with Windows XP to a Windows 7 64 bit laptop. Post migration I re-installed Technical Communications Suite 4. During the installation I get an error that Presenter failed to install because PPT 32 bit is not present. Additionally, Captivate cannot create swf files. Please help resolve these issues.

I'm having trouble using ExtendScript to search through all the chapters in my book for a text string. The code I've posted does find the first instance of the search string in the document, but my attempt to reposition the starting point of the search beyond the text that was just found is unsuccessful (tloc = new TextLoc(foundText.end.obj, foundText.end.offset + 1);) Instead the repeated calls to "Find" in the loop keep highlighting the first instance instead of incrementally moving throughout the document.var book = app.ActiveBook;var comp=book.FirstComponentInBook;while(comp.ObjectValid()){        //alert (comp.Name);        doc = open(comp.Name);        if (doc.ObjectValid() )        {            findAndChange(doc);        }     &

Just noticed, as I try to bring order and consistency into four "growed like Topsy" books … where the chapter headings diligently include a user variable (here, the product name), the title display in the book window omits anything after the variable. Result, in this case, three apparently identical chapter headings. Have I uniquely screwed something up, or is this a feature? N

Hi fellow scripters,I have been creating scripts for various customers which required installation in the startup directory of FrameMaker. Although it is easy enough to do this in Windows Explorer, it was becoming a hassle and I decided to make things more Jang-friendly. I am constantly switching between various scripts as I am working on projects for various customers. Quickly and easily switching startup items on and off became a real desire.I have now created a script to ease the installation and configuration of startup items (scripts in the startup directory of FrameMaker). The script works for all FrameMaker versions that include ExtendScript. It shows a list of available items with a set of radiobuttons to decide what to do with each item. You can add another item (bringing up a dialog to open the file) and move the existing items into an "inactive" subdirectory (making them disappear without being deleted) or delete them.As of FrameMaker 11, startup items can also be placed in

Hello,I have a regular problem since I've worked on Frame 11 (I don't know if it is a coincidence of what...)Sometimes I open a document I worked on earlier and some modifications I have made are no longer there.I don't have any error for this.(the only "error" I have is when I open the file and I'm being told the file has been opened by someone else - which is not true - but most of the time I don't have any error at all. It seems as if the "Save command" does not work sometimes (but I am not aware of it).I was wondering if anyone has already had this kind of problem before .I really don't know what happens. Thanks in advance for your feedback on it.

There is a script. I choose "Install on startup" when I installed it. It causes crashes. Even if I uninstall it, it causes crashes in the system if it has been installed. Every time I restart it's there. How do I configure Frame so that this script does not install on startup?

Hello all,I am struggling with the available Folder and File methods in ExtendScript. What I need to do is have the user select a file, but I do not want to show a preview of the contents of that file, which will not be opened at all, just moved to another location. The preview may look pretty scary, so I want to remove that from the dialog. With the File.openDialog method, there is no apparent method to make it go away. I am guessing this is a standard Windows dialog that is called from ExtendScript. So I thought of a selectDialog method instead. According to the JavaScript Tools Guide, the selectDialog method can return either a Folder or a File object, depending on what the user has selected. But in the dialog I can only select folders. I tried the selectDialog method on a File, but that does not seem to work at all, as the method is only defined for a Folder.So I am stuck with the openDialog and I don't like the sight of the nasty preview when selecting some binary file. Any ideas

Hi all,Possibly this question has been asked and answered before. Forgive me if it has and point me to the right topic in that case. I am trying to figure out where the script is located that is being executed when it is called via the File > Script > Run command. Does the script have a handle to the directory where it is stored ?ThanksJang

I have to switch class handouts I prepared with FrameMaker 7.1 for paper distribution to a pdf that can be used in laboratory classes on a computer network. I want to include links that will open in new windows to display figures or diagrams. I think I can do this in a pdf, but since this document gets periodically revised I want to create the links in FrameMaker, so I don’t have to redo all the links each time I release a new version. After a lot of searching and experimenting it seems that I can only do this if the links are fm documents; then they will convert when I create the pdf. To do this I would use Special->Hypertext->Open Document as New, and enter the path to the linked file.Is this correct? I have a problem and a question. First, when I do that I get an error message saying: ‘D:‡ISSECTION MANUAL\CURRENT\VERSION\GLUTEUS MAXIMUS SURFACE LABELED.fm’ was not found. Make sure the file exists and is a FrameMaker Document.’ The file does exist, and is in the same folder as

Adobe Update Installer won't run so can't install FM10 licensing fixThis question is Not Answered.(Mark as assumed answered)Aug 9, 2013 12:09 PM       Tags (edit): none (add)       Because FM10 began crashing with "fatal" errors whenever I tried to generate a TOC for a small (65 page) book, I researched workarounds and none of them worked. Now that I have delivered a crippled deliverable via Acrobat manipulations, I would like to fix FM. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it, got some updates, and then received the "licensing fix" error that popped up in January. I'm wondering why this fix was included not in the updates. That said, the licensing fix package, first, would not unzip so I downloaded it again. I unzipped it but I got a message that Adobe Updater Installer could not run and after several clicks I found that file. I reinstalled Adoble Update Installer but it still does not run.I am running Windows XP and have TCS 3.5.I uninstalled FM and R

Hello,I want to anchor a TextFrame below a line so that it acts like an AnchoredFrame. The current behavior is for text that is added to the line above my TextFrame to run around it. Instead, I want new text to push the TextFrame down. Is this possible and what additional information should I provide to the community to assist them in helping me?Thanks!HunterFrameMaker 11, Windows 7

Hello,The name of the images I add show up above the image in green text. When I produce the output, it shows up in the final product of the help file. It happens to some files but not to others.

Strange: can't understand why I've not got round to asking this earlier :-} Special > Variables obediently opens the Variables tab, but apart from reaching for the mouse and selecting one of the Close options from the context menu how do I then get rid of it and reclaim valuable screen real estate? And while I'm asking, I don't suppose there's a handy F-key that accesses variables the way F8 and F9 access character and paragraph styles? or some other shortcut?

Our customer is bringing us a Framemaker document, and wants it converted into Chinese.  What is the best method to accomplish this?
