FrameMaker

Referring to How to detect disconnected pages: I have a problem interpreting the term "disconnected page". I have a 6 page document On page 4 I set Format > Customise Layout > Disconnect Next Pages 1 - 4 are in Flow A, same for pages 5 and 6. The two areas ar disconnected: Now I run a script derived from Rick's (ZIP on my website, script is  in subDir Demos ) It reports pages 1, 2, 3, 4 as disconnected. Yes, they are disconnected from the rest. ► IMHO I do not get a direct information, on which page I  have to fix the conncection (4). What's wrong with my perception?   I have noticed that the ID of the main flow A changes with Disconnection Previous, but not with Disconnection Next: No disconnection present: Disconnection Next applied on page 4: main flow id: 5036400751 : 5036400752 : 5036400753 : 5036400754 : 5036400755 : 5036400756 : 503640075 main flow id: 5036400751 : 5036400742 : 5036400743 : 5036400744 : 5036400745 : 5036400756 : 503640075 BTW af

I am publishing a book to HTML5. It contains several sections (chapters) each is a separate fm document within the book.I have set the HTML5 mappings to split into topics based on style Heading1 which gives me a new HTML page for each Heading1 - which is great.I have also set the paragraph style 'ChapterHeading' to also split into topics - this is a higher level heading than Heading1 and appears once at the start of each chapter (ie. each separate fm document in the book).This appears to create two higher levels in the TOC in the HTML document - see the attached example.Why is it adding two levels?The only settings I can find which control topic splitting in the HTML5 output are:Style Mapping > {Paragraph Style} > Split into topics based on this style (which I have set as above) andStyle Mapping > General Settings > Split into topics using marker - this is unchecked.I am using a modified version of the 'Theme3_Black" HTML5 template from the framemaker 2022/Robohelp template

Hello all,I´m trying to find the solution how to change publishing settings to generate and save .pdf file directly to the chosen Output Folder.  Now it automatically creates new folder 01_HLAVA1 in the Output Folder: Then sub-folder PDF: And then finally I can find .pdf file. Do you have any suggestions how to solve this? Thank you. Adam  

I have some graphics in my FrameMaker document which need to fit the width of the page.When I export the document to HTML5 they seem to be fixed to exactly 642.52pxI would like them to be 800px wide however there doesn't seem to be anywhere to set this.I looked in the Publish Settings > Edit > Style Mapping > Image Setttings and alsoPublish Settings > Edit > Style Mapping > General Settingsbut there seems to be no way to adjust the pixel value of the 'full-width' HTML output.Is there any way to do this other than manually editing the <object width="xxxx"> tag in the HTML?

It is with deep sadness that I share this message. @LinSims passed away Sunday, June 18. There was no service at Lin’s request. Lin’s family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Asera Care Hospice in Exton, PA, which cared for Lin in her final days. Lin joined the Community Experts Program in March 2019. Ever since she’s been helping customers use FrameMaker in the Adobe Support Community. Here’s the link to her profile, which will remain as Community Expert in her memory.   This is what she said about herself back when she joined: "I’ve been working as a technical writer for about 25 years now (with some interruptions) in a variety of fields. Most of my experience is software documentation, but I’ve also written industry analysis papers, documented circuit designs, and documented processes and procedures for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. The Adobe application I use most is FrameMaker, which I guess also makes it my favorite. I love it

I'm creating an element in my EDD to add custom HTML/CSS tags using Prefix rules.  However, I found that FrameMaker automatically adds the ">" character to the end of the Prefix rules, e.g. the Prefix Rule: <a href= shows as <a href=> in the document. Using Autonumbering can't be used because the autonumbering isn't copied when we copy the text from the document into another application.Why is FM adding the extra ">" character and how do I stop this from happening?

I am using FM2022 to publish HTML5 OLH. Up until now, I have had no problem with the HTML5 TOC, but now I am getting a few stray, or "phantom" entries. Oddly, these phantom entries are not part of any heading, so technically should not appear in the TOC. As expected, they do not appear in the TOC in FM nor the TOC in the PDF.

Hello,In Frame Maker I have opened 4 FM files at one time.I have noticed that the units are all in "inches", but I would like to have the units in mm.So in the first FM opened document, I gone in View/Options and change it from inches to mm and it worked.But for the others documents they remain in "inches".How to set the unit in mm in the preferences ? Or is it a way to have the units in mm for all documents I will open ?

Hi all, I want to delete all empty pages of the document. When there are empty disconnected pages added I can't detect them in order to delete. Is there a way to do that? Thanks in advance

I am creating some new documents based on older documents and they have a creation date variable inserted. I would have expected the creation date variable to update, once I save my document under a new name, but that does not happen. How do I fix it?  

I am trying to write a script in Extendscript that will allow us to import a multi-page PDF into the FrameMaker document using the script instead of inserting one page at a time.We are currently using FrameScript to do this, but I know that FrameScript is going away at some point and we will eventually need to convert to Extendscript. So I am trying to stay ahead of the curve. Does anyone already have a script that they use that does this? Or any tips for how to begin to create this script? Thanks for your help!

Once I Save the file in Adobe FrameMaker, can't I undo?

I am trying to replace the buller with a checkbox in a paragraph style in framemaker 2019. I understand that I should be using unicode text, and am close ... but not quite there. in the paragraph designer, I enter, for example: \t\u2714  to start the paragraph with a tab and check. I've tried a lot of unicodes; many don't work at all. a few work in that they display correctly in the paragraph designer, but they show up as a "?" in the actual paragraph.  what am I missing?  thanks for any guidance.

I am trying to set the font family, size and style of the selection using ExtendScript. Family and Style are applied correctly but the font size stays the same. FM2019.

Anyone have this issue? Framemaker generates an XLIFF file for translation purposes OK the first time. This file is then imported back into Framemaker, and it's imported OK. The problem starts when a second attempt is made to generate the XLIFF file. Framemaker goes to the last chapter of the book and then crashes completely. No error messages are shown, so there's no clue as to what is going wrong. Framemaker can be started OK but continues to crash when an attempt is made to generate the XLIFF from the same book and FM files. I suspect the FM book file is being corrupted by the first XLIFF generation so that when an attempt is made to use it again it stops Framemaker working.

I have developed a script that converts ditamaps into framemaker books.  Due to the size and number of books to be created this script must run overnight.  Seemingly randomly framemaker creates a popup message that warns me it doesn't know where referenced images files are located and that the images will appear as grey boxes.  This popup prevents the script from running until someone clicks the "ok" button, at which point it will resume.  Is there a way to prevent framemaker from generating these popups?

My find/change script steps through each document in a book as it executes.  At the start of the script, I read each doc filename in the book into an array and then use the SimpleOpen method to make each document active; something I picked from a post a few months ago.  However, I sometimes get an error that says, "No insertion point or active document.  Cannot continue."  Any thoughts on what I might do to fix this?  I searched the forum, but no luck.  Here's the code I'm using to open/activate each doc.// Open each doc using doc.Name and call executeHitlist function function searchDocs () { for (k = 1; k <= docCount; k++) { doc = SimpleOpen(openDocs[k]); $.writeln("Searching " + doc.Name + "..."); doc = app.ActiveDoc; executeHitlist (); } } 

Dear friends, I'm looking for the Open() function parameter that dismisses the "Cannot display imported graphics" message and lets the book component Open function loop continue. I've tried:i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_RefFileNotFound);params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_AllowAllRefFilesUnFindable; i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_AlertUserAboutFailure);params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_DoOK; None of them helped dismiss the imported graphics error message. Will appreciate your input.Thanks!
