FrameMaker

Hi all,  I'm having a problem with installed fsl scripts not re-loading in the FrameScript menu when FrameMaker restarts. The console message is "FrameScript: Error Processing Install Command ERRCODE(-2406)." Any guidance on this? FrameMaker 16.0.0.754FrameScript 7.0R1p25Windows 10 Enterprise 

On Win11 FM16.0.4.1062 execution of a script needs 50 times as long as other set-ups . On Win-10 the very same FM-version behaves (execution time of script ≤ 10 seconds) Other tests with the very saame script on Win11 (FM-14.0.4.511, FM-17.0.2.431) also execute the script within ≤ 10 seconds. ► What the heck is going on here?   Edit 2023-08-15 I have tested again after changes of the redsistributable C++ modules [Adobe support for another problem]. In FM-16 the script execution takes 6 min, while in FM-17 and even FM-14 it takes about 5 seconds.During execution the cpu load oszillates between 0 and 1% (including all activities of the system)...

For FM-17.0.2.431: File » Script » New Script opens ESTK, but FM-17 is not listed: However, with File » Script » Run a script can be run. ► what the heck is this? Have filed this as FRMAKER-13733

I have constant battle with FrameMaker crashing with Internal Error 17024. The files can be opened one day, worked on and saved without any issues. The next day, opening the same file results in the Internal Error. I have uninstalled/reinstalled FM2022 numerous times for it only to work for a few days before the error starts again. And it's all files, not just specific ones. I have noticed that the error only occurs when I'm using Structured FrameMaker. If I switch to 'normal' FrameMaker and open the same files, no error occurs (other than the warning about opening a structured file in unstructured mode.)  Opening backup files (.backup.mf) or backup copies of the files makes no difference. I've also moved all the FM files (including images) to a local external HDD to elimiate network environment issues. I'm at a point where I'm pulling my hair out in frustration.Because I can't open a single file in FM2022, is there a way to bulk-convert all files back to FM2020? Note I can't

How can I create Arrow type of Bullet in Adobe Frame Maker?

Hi, I had to create an ExtendScript function to duplicate a paragraph format for a client script. I decided to wrap the function in a free script. Here is the dialog box:   I know you can duplicate a format using the Paragraph Designer, but I thought this might be useful if you are roughing out a new template and want to quickly add formats by duplicating existing ones.   There is a download link on my web site store. Any feedback is appreciated.

We are experimenting with insets so we can have multiple copies of a document in the same book. One of our parts pages has a parts list table split into 2 columns undeneath a graphic in an anchored frame. To make the 2 columns we use Format>Customize Layout>Split Text Frame.  When I import this original document via the inset panel, the parts list table is placed as one column that flows onto the following page. How can I get this table to be 2 columns like the original file? I have tried splitting the text frame but that doesn't work. I've changed object properties to 2 columns, but that doesn't work either.

How can I comment While Reviewing Frame Maker Document?

Hello everyone. The product I am working on currently, I use Framemaker 10 for it and to generate a CSH(context sensitive help), I generate the html output using Webworks 2012 (since it is compatible with FM 10.) A recent problem I faced is the anchored frames in the documentation with more than 1 images together isn't coming up as it is in the output. When I genertae a pdf the output is intact, with images placed properly as in the source documentation, however when it is in webworks output, it only takes single image and discards the other images in the same anchored frame. I am not sure if this is anything to do with Framemaker settings or Webworks settings. If anyone has faced any similar issue, I am looking for guidance and some help here. Thanks,Madhushree

The command line code example below needs to span 2 lines to fit the page but the line originally does not break and should not break. It needs to be one single command line. The document is not structured so we do not use elements. The code example is simply contained in a table cell. Is there a way to force or prevent the command line string from breaking as the customer often cuts/pastes the code into their editor and has to edit it manually? Do i need to use Elements or can i do it in an unstructured way?code e.g # modprobe moal_5x17283_pcie_8997 drv_mode=1 cal_data_cfg=none cfg80211_wext=0xf fw_name=nxp/pcieuart8997_combo_v4_5x17283.bin

Amidst the bookmars of an FM book level 1 marks are not in order: Those marked by { should be below the yellow area. The PDF setup is the same in all chapters and in the book. I have checked and generated 3 times  by Save as PDF. Any ideas where to look for the reason of this?

Some information is available only by extracting it from a source by means of command-line programs. I wanted to get meta information (number of pages, etc.) out of PDF files. This can be done with xpdfinfo.exe (http://www.xpdfreader.com/). Assume you have all ingredients in one directory (unfortunately a ZIP can not be attached, even with name XMP - so see my website)   ExecuteBatFile.jsx GetPDFinfo.jsx GetScriptPath.jsx Message.jsx PDF-6pages-landscape.pdf pdfinfo.exe   If in the central part of function GetPDFinfo.jsx files are references relatively:   REM Generated by function GetPDFinfo pdfinfo.exe FMjsxLib_lib_DOM.pdf > pdfinfo.txt   ... the required batch file is produced within the current directory, it is also executed (a flicker indicates open/close of the console window) - but you do not thet the output text file. Since the bat file is still there, you can double click on it to produce the desired output - but this is not available within the function

 I am working in a file that has multiple output versions in it using conditional tags, including multiple tags being applied to the same blocks of text. Because FrameMaker defaults to the "show" tag, I've had to build conditional expressions to define all the various combinations, which was working until now. For example, the below image shows what I want turned on and off for one version, but I have text that is tagged Arch + Structure, Metric + Structure, Arch + Metric + Structure, etc. that is defaulting to being shown when it should be hidden. This is the expression I am currently using:not "MEP" and not "Metric" and not "PracticeFilesLink" and not "Arch" and not (("MEP" and "ChptRevAnswers" ) and not ( "MEP" and "Imperial" ) and not ( "MEP" and "InstructorGuide" ) and not ( "MEP" and "Metric" ) and not ( "MEP" and "PracticeFilesLink" ) and not ( "MEP" and "Print Only" ) and not ( "Arch" and "ChptRevAnswers" ) and not ( "Arch" and "Imperial" ) and not ( "Arch" and "

I am getting a little annoyed with the display and processing of graphics in FM 2022 and decided to do a more systematic test. So this is the display of a selection of imported graphics in FM2022: As can be seen the original graphic - which is transparant and resides in the middle of a square bounding box, is diplayed with a white background in all iterations exept png. Jpg files do not support transparancy, so that display is correct. All the others are varying degrees of incorrect with the svg version taking the prize. Above is what comes out when distilled and saved as print pdf. As can be seen SVG is completely wrong and so is the PNG. The file formats and standards I have used in this test are the most common file formats in the graphics industry and I would expect both preview and rendering to work. In this test it only jpg which truly works in both preview and pdf.      

Dear team, I don't know what happened in backend from last two days the bookmarks are not coming after saving as pdf in framemaker.. Attached pdf set up and final output of pdf..  Kindly clarify me what might have happened in backend..

I am finding that my PDF output does not include a bookmark for the table of contents generated from a DITA map.If you think this is a good idea, you can vote for it at the Adobe Tracker site (tracker.adobe.com).I have submitted a bug to Adobe: FRMAKER-9769

I'm working with a two-page LOT file. The master pages are defined as First and Last. On the First master page I have a title, "List Of Tables", with the paragraph tag "Heading 1 for Lists". I defined a Running H/F 12 variable as  "<$paratext[Heading 1 for Lists]>". I inserted the Running H/F 12 variable into the footer on the Last master page. I made sure that the corresponding body page is using the "Last" master page. However, the Running H/F does not appear on the body page. I'm not having this problem with any of my other files. What am I missing? Any and all suggestions/solutions very much appreciated.

I have made a suggestion on the ACE Hub that a community reward might be a years subscription to the FrameMaker Template Shop products. If  there are others folks here from the ACE hub who would like to see that kind of reward, please support it on ACE.

Hello,In Frame Maker I know how to do this quotation mark :   «But I don't know how to do this :   »

If anybody here needs a fresh design for their technical documentation, I have just published a new US letter template design. And for those wondering what "Aguamiel" is... It is the sugar juice of agaves used for producing tequila/mezcal. It's bit of a joke name - all templates have names associated with tequila production 🙂   https://framemaker.dk/en/hikashop-menu-for-brands-listing/product/50-aguamiel-us-letter-template

I sent FM files to someone for edits, but Imges inserted to it are asking for location. Is there a option by which I can sent a complete FM files to someone where there is no image's location issue.
