FrameMaker

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 

Hyperlinks work in Frame, but "Save as PDF" doesn't generate links. Have spent hours online with Adobe Support to no avail. HELP!

How can I take color combination for text which is unavailable in Adobe Frame maker document?

I am using FM 16.04 to create HTML5 help. Although hypertext and cross-reference links work in FM and PDF output (via Publisher), they are often broken in the OLH.As far as I can tell there is nothing wrong with the links when I examine the HTML in Notepad.

I have a lot of headings in this format:Sample Heading Name in Original Document I want to change them to sentence case:Sample heading name in original document In Word I can use shift+F3 to cycle through cases once I've selected the text. Is there a similar option in FrameMaker? Thanks in advance,Kat

Hello, In a page, I have several paragraphs. Each paragraph is made like this :   Title Description   and before/after each paragraph I have a space.   I would like to select all the page, and create a tag that put a bullet only on the first line of each paragraph (title). How to set this tag ?

This might be better in the Acrobat forum, but we'll try here first since the source is FrameMaker.   Today I created a PDF in my usual manner with my usual settings. After adding a watermark and making sure the display options were set correctly, I used the Save As Other > Optimized PDF and, again, used my default settings.   Imagine my surprise to see that the bookmarks panel, which had bookmarks in it before I saved as an optimized PDF, has gone blank. No bookmarks. I tried closing and reopening the PDF in case it was just one of those Windows things, but that didn't help.   Microsoft OneDrive and Crowdstrike Windows Sensor are the only reported changes in my Update History since the last time I was able to generate a PDF correctly. They updated this morning.    Yes, I can always not save as an optimized PDF, but even when leaving the graphics uncompressed, my files usually shrink to 1/3 their prior size so I don't really want to not optimize.   &nbs

Since upgrading to Framemaker 2015, I don't have my toolbar vertically on the right side. Is there a way to get it back there

Greetings, In case there are any old salts who recall Interleaf - I'm working with some ancient files, I think they were recovered from the library at Alexandria, and must convert them from Interleaf to Frame somehow. We find that many (most?) of the files will translate without difficulty, but for reasons we can't discern, others will not. An example is the parts manual I'm currently translating. Section A's cover and content translated fine, as did section B's, but section C's won't. Section A is larger than C and section B is smaller (perhaps C is in 'the zone'?). Other sections have trouble translating the cover, or the content, but not both. I'm using Filtrix 4.0 to translate, going directly from resaved-to-ASCII files (.ildoc) to FrameMaker files (.mif). I'm willing to go multi-step (I tried converting from one Interleaf versio to another first, but that failed, also), if I must. Either way, I've got to get these FrameMaker capable. Any ideas?? Thanks, Solon Aquila
