FrameMaker

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

Hello,please how can I center text verticaly in Pgf. Box? I don´t like that the text is very close to the upper side.@Barb Binder(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWhHcvswB1I) I saw you have the coloured boxes in your Reference page. So is there possibility to put coloured box as a backround for the paragraph? I know how the put objects from Refence page above/below the paragraph in the Paragraph designer, but not as you have in the Caution paragraph.... Can you give me advice? Thanks Adam 

I'm sure this has been covered on here but I can't find what I'm looking for. That's a newbie for ya. Anyway I'm trying to figure out how to new headings that will also show up in the TOC. Currently I have Chapters with Head1, Head2 etc. (1-1, 1-2-1). I need to add "Sections" that will be Roman numeral sequentially within chapters. So Chapter 1 may have SECTION I. TITLESECTION II. TITLESECTION III. TITLE etc. Thanks much. 

How can I Insert double quotes in Adobe Frame maker like this below; 

Hello!I have a question regarding automatic numbering. FrameMaker 2019 has preset Building Blocks for automatic numbering (such as <n+>, <a+>, <R+> and so on).Is it possible to organize a different type of automatic numbering (for example, using Cyrillic letters)? With respect, Igor.

Hello,I saw a lot of documents made in Adobe Framemaker, that have some coding in imported files (images, .fm documents etc.) like in pictures below.I guess that the imported code is a file name. Do you anybody know how to do that automatically in Framemaker?  Thanks Adam 

I have a book with generated lists of figures and tables. I would like to publish them to HTML5 along with the rest of the book, but FrameMaker 2022 skips them in the publishing process. I have tried different "tricks" in order to force publishing like creating cross references to the documents etc but to no avail. Would anybody know why things work that way? It looks like a bug, but perhaps there is a deeper meaning or merely a button I have overlooked?  

Since recently we have been using FrameMaker 2022 to create prepress files of the user manuals we receive from the client - the original English FrameMaker files together with the XML files. Our job is to localize them to the Serbian language, which seems quite simple if you use File > Translate > Export to XLIFF 1.2 and on the end File > Translate > Import (the whole process is described in detail on the Adobe YouTube channel). However, we have problem:File > Translate > Export to XLIFF 1.2 produces a zip file with nothing in it, it's completely empty! XLIFF Conversion Report does not report any error. So we can't even get a XLIFF file to give to the translators. This happens with all the files we received, there are several very large books.Can anyone share any experience with this issue?

Hello,if I have an FM document with pagebreak, and if I try to Split this document(File/Utilities/Split current document), the result is : on each pagecontaining a pagebreak, FM added one more page after split. By example,  for an FM document  of 3 pages containing :- A = 1 page with page break (I put a marker on "A" before split)- B = 1 page with page break (I put a marker on "B" before split)- C = 1 page without page break (I put a marker on "C" before split)And after split I have 3 chapters :- A = 2 pages (one more page added by FM)- B = 2 pages (one more page added by FM)- C = 1 page (all is OK)So for pages with pagebreak, FM added one more page after split. Why ? PS the page break I use is :

Hello, I have created page breaks by doing Insert/page break/page.Now,  how to remove a specific page break (the page break on page 3 by example) ?Because actually I cannot see the page break symbol, so I cannot click on it to remove it (like in Word).

It appears that one cannot copy text in FrameMaker 11 and paste it into another editor such as Notepad++ or MS Word. It is as though FrameMaker does not use the Windows clipboard. We observe this behavior with WYSIWYG View and Author View. On the other hand, we can copy text from the XML View and paste into these other editors with no problem. This issue seems to have been introduced with FrameMaker 11, as we can copy and paste the identical text from FrameMaker 10. As another data point, unstructured FrameMaker 11 also allows copy and paste to an external editor.Can anyone provide insight into why this behavior occurs and how we might modify it? Thank you,--larry0

I am in the process of converting FrameMaker to html, but I want to be able to edit the equations after this conversion. FrameMaker saves the equations as graphic files when I save as HTML, so I don't see a way to edit them after output. 

I am working from a template not created by me and I am wondering if there is a way to make global changes to the way the numbering is... specifically changine dots to dashes. Currently my Head 1's and Head 2's are1.11.22.1.13.2.1 etc. I am needing to change them all to dashes...1-11-22-1-13-2-1 etc.  Is there a way to do this for the entire book? If not how about the individual chapters? Thanks

I am making a bunch of table designs but somehow  I have managed to predefine some of the paragraph styles in the tables with bullets. And now I can't remember how I manage predefined paragraph styles in tables, so I change the styles to work properly. Can anybody help?
