Auf einmal fehlen in einem Buch in Framemaker 2022 Schriften. Eine neu Installation der Schrift hat nichts gebracht. Wenn ich diese Schrift ersetze wird wieterhin auf fehlende Schriften hingewiesen. Was kann ich tun?

@frameexpert - I'm not sure if it was supplied by you or someone else, but I have a script that deletes empty paragraphs at the end of a document, but it deletes the paragraph if it doesn't contain text (i.e. it will delete paragraphs with an anchor for an anchored frame or with a table anchor also.) I need to revise the script to ONLY delete empty paragraphs.As a workaround, I've told our writers to add a couple of spaces before or after the marker, which solves the problem, but it's not a permanent solution.This is the script:var doc = app.ActiveDoc; DeleteBlankParagraphs(doc); function DeleteBlankParagraphs(doc) { var pgf; // Get the last paragraph in the main flow. pgf = GetLastParagraph(doc); // Loop backwards through the empty paragraphs. while (pgf.ObjectValid () === 1) { // If the paragraph is empty, delete it. if (getPgfText (pgf) === "") { pgf.Delete (); } else { // Otherwise, exit the

Hello,I have pasted this text from internet, and I have selected it then selected "bullets" at right (blue arrow). But at the blues lines at left it insert a bullet on each line (including the blank lines). I would like  :1) create a paragraph designer where bullets are put only on lines containing text (not on blank lines).2) idem, but with an ascending number at left (instead of bullets). How to do it ? 

Hello, I'm having some problems with Framemaker. In fact, when I go to Preferences and change from Structured to Unstructured it doesn't update when I exit the application and open it again.I even uninstalled it and installed several times but it is the same situation...Could you help me?

Is there a way to change the default typeface and size?

I am setting a workflow for a client, which will allow them to import a word file, map the Word styles to preexisting FrameMaker styles and have the document formatting upon import. This works fine, but I would really, really like to avoid having FrameMaker import all the Word styles also.    It seems like it can not be avoided per standard FrameMaker operation, but can I possibly script mye way out of this? Is it possible to run a script that deletes all styles beyond those that are supposed to be there?

I think I know the answer to my question (you can't), but am going to post it anyway. Is there a way to add a callout line (dark color) with a shadow (light color) without having to draw two lines of different shades and offset them? If you have one, two, or a few callouts on an illustration it may not seem like a big issue. However, if you have ten or more callouts, making two lines for each callout, offsetting them, and bringing one to the front, grouping and moving them as needed, it now becomes a nuisance.  It would be so nice to be able to simply draw a single line with a shadow, in one stroke.

Hello! I am using unstructured FrameMaker 2019 (version 15.0.5.838).  My frameMaker documents contain several reference pages with many reference frames, collected over the several years. I want to clean up the reference pages and remove unused reference frames. But how can I find out if a particular reference frame is used in a paragraph style?Is there a paragraph format search (comparable to the search for character formats) where I can search for "frame above" or "frame below"? Bye... 🙂  

When I export my manual from FrameMaker to Acrobat the chapter numbers are not in the bookmarks in Acrobat. How do I get the chapter numbers to show in chapter names in the bookmarks? 

Hello. I am having strange issues with paragraph autonumbering in a couple of Korean-language documents:Here is the numbering format: H:<$chapnum>.<n+>\t< =0>< =0>< =0>< =0>< >< >This will number in the following sequence: 1.1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 through 1.9, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 through 1.49.The sequence starts properly at 1.1, but then repeats 1.1 before going onto 1.2. Then after 1.9, it jumps back to 1.1. After that, however, the number sequence is normal.I have tried using different series IDs (N: instead of H:) to no avail. Any clues, anyone? I am befuddled, to say the least. Thanks in advance,Bill

Hello community,I have a Framemaker 2019 purchase license and also a Technical Communication Suite subscription since December. I need both for my work. Last year, the parallel use worked without any problems, but since this year I can no longer start Framemaker 2019 because it can no longer be activated. What can I do to make it work again?Any help is welcome.

I have a project with a mathbook for a customer right now which has investigate equations in FM. I was not aware that MathML had ceased to be maintained and it seems FM's own builtin editor is not entirely up to date either. Are there any alternatives? What do other people do?

The toc reference page does not disply the Chapter number  The Toc Autonumber reference pageTOC Body Page <$chapnum> works in the Autonumber body page 

Hi,I have an ExtendScript script which changes the language of all paragraphs.It also changes the language of those paragraphs which are in tables.Now I also want to change the table formats so that they contain the paragraphs with the changed language and not with the old language.However, my script deletes somehow all table formats!What I do:For each table format add a new table.Then the language of all paragraph formats is changed and imported into the file.Now update the table formats. for (var li = 0; li < faArrayTables.length; li += 1) // faArrayTables is an array with all these new tables. { loTable = faArrayTables [li]; laProps = loTable.GetProps (); loTblFmt = foDoc.GetNamedObject (Constants.FO_TblFmt, loTable.TblTag); loTblFmt.SetProps (laProps); } loTblFmt.SetProps deletes all table formats!I guess that I cannot just transfer the properties of an existing table to a table format. And this deletes the table.How can I update the table format of a table?Best regards, Win

My FrameMaker 2022 document uses a paragraph format with an automatic bullet in the "Numbering > Format” field. The FM2022 created chm file displays this as:  While FM2019 had no problem with this:However, the MIF output for the autonumbering is identical in both FM 2019 and FM 2022, but:- FrameMaker 2019: The CHM output displays the bullet correctly.- FrameMaker 2022: The CHM output displays the bullet followed by a question mark. How do I get the desired output using FM2022?

I am making a operations and maintenance manual and want to embed individual equipment manuals into the FrameMaker document and subsequent PDF output file so the users can make full use of all content within the embed PDF (i.e. open the document in a separate window) from the published PDF file.  I found help information which suggested I could use the Import File with an icon which will be selectable, but FrameMaker 2022 doesn't give me this option.  Only to pick one of the pages.  

I have 600+ fm files that I want to save as a pdf. They are all in the same directory. This is the script I started with (though I currently have Frankencode doing other stuff that was added between me and things suggested by Claudet/Gemini/etc).#target framemaker (function () { // --- CONFIG --- var PDF_SETTINGS_NAME = ""; // Leave empty "" to use the document's default PDF settings // Or put the name of a PDF setup, e.g. "High Quality Print" // ---------------- function log(msg) { $.writeln(msg); var oFile = new File ("C:/Catalog/output/run.log" ); oFile.open("a"); oFile.writeln(msg); oFile.close(); } function saveAsPdf(doc, savePath) { // Get default save parameters var params = GetSaveDefaultParams(); var i; // Set the file type to PDF i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FileType); params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveFmtPdf; // Optional: Co

Since yesterday I have not been able to open book files. Whenever I try, the program shuts down with an error. The other files open without problems.Has anybody else experienced this problem?I installed the latest patch, but this did not help.Thank you for your help!

I created a TOC yeasterday for a book with 12 chapters. Everting we fine in creating it. It sits at the top of my list and looks like it is attached. WHen I open the book and open all the chapters I get a error message the TOC does not exist. I can go int to my file and there it is and I can open it. I delete the file from the book, open it to check it and reattach it to the book. Save the book, close all the file, go to reopen and again the file does not exist. 

It's 2025 and this "correct" advice no longer works. installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed. No. Does not work.
