FrameMaker

I am somewhat new to publishing FM in HTML5. When I publish an FM book in PDF, all of the clickable cross ref links work properly. When I publish the same book in HTML5, all cross refs work except the Table cross refs. The character formatting of the Table link text is proper in the HTML5 (underlined/blue), but the link does not function. The table links are tied to (sourced from) the Structured Element = TableGroup (Cross Ref Source pod). All other cross ref link types work in the HTML5 (created from elements for figures, sections, steps, ...; links within the same file and links from file to file within the book). The cross ref  Reference Format for the table and figure links are the same (<Xref>Figure\ <$elemparanumonly>; <Xref>Table\ <$elemparanumonly>). The HTML Setup utility maps "Element = Figure" to HTML5 Division and "Element = Table" to HTML5 Division (same mapping, but different result) I don't know if this is of importance: T

This is what I want to accomplish:1. Find zero or more chars inside straight or curly double quotes2. Replace with the text inside and without the quotes3. Make the replacement text boldI used this as a starting point (very helpful, thanks to @Russ Ward  and the community):Solved: Re: Replace Text After Find - Adobe Support Community - 13151348I can accomplish 1 and 2 using the GUI: I can accomplish 1 and 3 using this script (notice I had to encode the regex as UTF-16 hex):#target framemaker // regex for zero or more chars inside straight or curly double quotes, Unicode txt and UTF-16 hex // ["“](.*?)["”] = \u005b\u0022\u201c\u005d\u0028\u002e\u002a\u003f\u0029\u005b\u0022\u201d\u005d // regex for backreference to first capturing group, Unicode txt and UTF-16 hex // $1 = \u0024\u0031 // var regex = /\u005b\u0022\u201c\u005d\u0028\u002e\u002a\u003f\u0029\u005b\u0022\u201d\u005d/; // var unquoted = /\u0024\u0031/; findAndReplace("\u005b\u0022\u201c\u005d\u0028\u002e

No matter what document/book I open, FrameMaker keeps crashing with the following error: I have :deleted my Appdata\..\17 folder,restarted my PC, opened a file located on a server,opened a file located on my local drive, I have a 300 page manual that needs to be updated and ready for publication by the 1st of July, 2023, so it is urgent that I find a solution to this error. I have sent the dump file to fmerror@adobe.com, but as the error states, I my not get a response soon.Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this?Thanks,Quintin 

Hello,I have copied/pasted text from Word to Frame Maker, and selected "Justify" button in Frame Maker, but I have always some space at the right (see red lines) :It is strange because I have made a "Paste special" and choosed "Plain Text" in "paste special dialog box".How to paste without the Word formatting : my goal is to have the text without this space at the right, and make a real justify.

The problem with FM inserting a blank page before a table that has a "Top of Page" format has, at this point, been present in FM for years . The desired behavior is obvious. Work arounds to make a trivial capability work are silly. What is the issue that prevents this problem from being solved?

In the Cross-Reference panel, I have to keep changing the Source Type field from Cross-Reference markers to Paragraphs. Can this be set to Paragraphs by default? Thank You,Mike

When I am taking new text frame in Frame Maker, hotspot window is popping up. How to disable this.  

I am using a side hide for chapter titles for a recipe collection. I use this as practice space for my homework. I want to be able to have all of the headings to be consistent. However, everytime that I try to do this, all of the text goes from the main body in the centre over to the left side where the side head is. Luckily, I can usually change it back. What is happening here and how can I fix it? 

I have a fairly large book (1500 pages) that I am trying to publish in HTML5. This project is years old, the HTML5 has been working for years, and this bug seems to have only cropped up in the last update. When the HTML5 is published some top level titles in the TOC don't point to the local output folder, but to c:\program files, where obviously the files are not found. In the generated output, which is all where it should be, there is the whxdata folder with all toc*.js files for the TOC and the URLs inside them all have something like this:url=\"../../../../../../../../c:/program files/adobe/adobe framemaker 2022/filters#7286750bc-500\" Yes, I'm using the latest update.Dynamic filters are disabled in the STS.Nothing has changed in the STS file or the TOC file since the last time I generated the HTML5.There is nothing noteworthy in the log files.After decades of using FrameMaker, finding myself having to spend hours fighting FM's inconsistencies and bugs in the late del

Graag hulp met het volgende:Hoe verwijder ik het totaal aantal pagina's met inhoud in een sjabloonbestand van 26 pagina's? De inhoud kan ook worden verwijderd, zodat het een bestand blijft van maximaal 10 pagina's met stijlen, paragrafen enz.Kan ik dan nergens in een instructie vinden hoe ik bijvoorbeeld 10 blanco pagina's (links en rechts) kan invoegen op basis van bijvoorbeeld het hierboven beschreven sjabloon?

Today when I opened FrameMaker, the WelcomeScreen tab and the About box are formatted incorrectly. This occurs on all of our FrameMaker installations in all of our offices across the world, so it isn’t just on one machine. Yesterday this problem was not occurring, so this just happened.This is what the WelcomeScreen tab looks like:This is what the About box looks like:  

How can I change page background color from grey to white in Abode Frame Maker? I am using Frame Maker versio n 2022.

FrameMaker 15. I have a simple script to prompt and update whether conditional text formats are shown. It works fine. However, FM does not "Visually" update the Show/Hide Conditional text pane, until I click to a different pane and back to it. This causes the following issue:Format 1 is initially hidden. User runs script and clicks to show Format 1. Scripts shows Format 1 and updates document, however, Format 1 appears hidden in the Show/Hide Condiitonal text pane, if that was active when the script was run. User does not click another tab in FM and hides Format 2 and clicks Apply. Format 1 is now hidden also b/c it was visually under Hide, so apply hides it as well. I need a line that I can add to my script so that the Show/Hide Conditional Text pane displays properly. Alternately, the script could just manually select some other pane or close the Show/Hide Condiitonal text pane, which would mean that when the user opened it, it would be refreshed and show the valid inf

Hi everybody,When I created the table of contents for my book, a problem occurred: I had to manually correct the errors to get the table of contents correct.Is there any solution to optimize the table of contents?Looking forward to receiving your response!Best regards,Quan

I have a document that needs to look like an Excel spreadsheet so I used tables.I inserted Heading1, 2, and 3 in some cells to separate the content.When the TOC is generated, if a Heading2 is on a separate table (at the end of the doc), it apperar first than the last Heading2 in the previous table.Any help? Thanks

Hi everybody,We were planning to upgrade FM2019 --> FM2022 but something went wrong: some link formats were changed.How to use FM2022 without changing format or font.I would be very grateful for specific instructions!Thank you very much!

I am trying to create a document from XML input, and have successfully converted graphics and cross references from XML into associated elements in a structured FrameMaker document. My next challenge are hyperlinks. I understand that I will need read/write rules, and currently have:element "Hypertext"{ is fm marker element } I suspect I need to define certain attributes or something else so that I can actually bring in the text and the link itself from XML, but I am currently unsure how to do that. I looked over the Developer Reference and Guide, but they weren't specific enough and I don't know how to find the attributes or properties associated with different FM concepts like markers.  I have a Hypertext marker element and container as mentioned in https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker-discussions/hypertext-element/m-p/12030554#M70684, and can successfully manually create a hyperlink, but I am looking to be able to format my XML using an XSLT in such a

Hello all,I am new to FM and just installed 2022.The home screen is not displaying correctly and looks like this: I spent hours with tech support yesterday and the only solution that they came up is that I need full admin priviledges to get the buttons to display properly. This seems like an unusual fix, this computer spends most of its time connected to the company network and they don't give out admin rights to just anybody. I've changed display settings, aspect ratios, scaling, FM properties, and other settings as it relates to display issues. Has anyone experienced this? Is it a permissions issue? A corrupt FM download perhaps? Any help will be GREATLY appreciated at this point. Thank you. -Dan  

I build an array of acronyms in the document's acronym glossary and use the getFind function below to search the document to see if the acronym is used and how many times it's used (findCtr++).  I'm running into some cases where the getFind function goes into an endless loop looking for specific words in specific documents.  This might happen with just four words in a document, or sometimes dozens of words.  The loop is 100% repeatable.  I believe I need to move the textRange.beg to the end of the "find" word each time a match is found, but I'm not familiar enough with ranges to know how to do it.  Appreciate any suggestions.function getFind(findString, considerCase, docName) { doc=app.ActiveDoc; //sets the active document as the object docStart = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf; textRange = app.ActiveDoc.TextSelection; findParams = AllocatePropVals (5); propVal = new PropVal (); propVal.propIdent.num = Constants.FS_

Hi AllI have an opportunity to purchase a FM 11 software which I am intending to install on an old laptop that I use for writing.However I need to know how I go about this as I am not sure if it is still active on another PC.Can anyone help in advising how I do this please?I cannot afford the subscription of the latest FM. Thanks Mike

Hi everyone,I have a problem with a translated MIF file from Trados software. When I load the translated mif (which I exported from the customer supplied FM files) back into FM, the FM gets stuck and crashes. It happens very randomly - some translated files are perfectly fine and others crash. Has anyone experienced a similar problem? We figured out that it might be caused by some text field setting where a certain number of characters are exceeded after translation and FM can't handle it. But I'm not sure at all. The only thing that has helped is splitting the mifs into 2 halves but it's a lot of extra work for me, which I'd like to get rid of. Not to mention that the translation agency has to re-process it. I would be very grateful for any help on how to fix this error.  Sorry I cannot provide file - since is confident for my client.  Cheers,Martina

A table is extending to another page while there is enough space in the first page of Adobe Frame maker document. Please suggest solutions. 

Hi:I know this wording is unseemly, but I'm just so tired of some of FrameMaker's pompous, unnecessary nonsense. I generated a TOC based on an .fm document. I didn't ask the silly thing to make the TOC two columns. Having at least half a brain, I went into Format > Page Layout > Column Layout and received this gratuitous abuse.  Next, I specifically went Unrotated the pages. The unpleasant dialog box above reappeared. Any ideas, anyone?  Annoyed, but grateful for any help from any quarter,Lew YedwabResideo
