FrameMaker

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.

What am I doing wrong?FA_Errno  is set to FE_Success after the operation. function fixText(targetDoc){ var i = 0; var arial = GetFontFamilyValue("Symbol"); var textProps = AllocatePropVals(3); i=0; textProps[i].propIdent.num = Constants.FP_FontFamily; textProps[i].propVal.valType = Constants.Integer; textProps[i].propVal.ival = arial ; i++; textProps[i].propIdent.num = Constants.FP_FontSize; textProps[i].propVal.valType = Constants.Integer; textProps[i].propVal.ival = 36 * 65536; i++; textProps[i].propIdent.num = Constants.FP_Underlining; textProps[i].propVal.valType = Constants.Integer; textProps[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_CB_SINGLE_UNDERLINE; var tr = targetDoc.TextSelection; targetDoc.SetTextProps(tr, textProps); Prin

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!

I am working in unstructure FrameMaker 2022 and have a book file.  I am trying (unsuccessfully) to establish a link in one file of the book that goes to a location within the book after it is published to pdf.  Nothing I am trying seems to work - any ideas?

I have a document with a revision highlight page. This page utilizes a list of markers to list all the paragraphs that have changed since the last published document.The problem I am facing is that some of the changes affect a bullet list item. In the list of markers generated page, everything works for normal numbered paragraphs; however, for bullet list items I get a bullet instead of the list-parent paragraph number.My building blocks for the revision highlight paragraph is as follows:<$chapnum>.<$pagenum> <$paranumonly> <$markertext>In the example below, the '1.5' is the Chapter number. Page Number, and the 1.3.3 is the para number on that page.Is there a way to list the bullet list parent paragraph number whenever the marker affects a bullet list item? 

I have read that one can use AI for generating code, but I have next to none experience with coding. I am merely curious as whether anybody has tried this with FrameMaker?

Hi, I am working on a script which should check, if a certain text frame on a master page has the Overflowed property and adapt the height and the position accordingly. if (lTextFrame.FirstSubCol.Overflowed == 1) ... However, I see that the script passes the "if" only, if the text frame in the file has already the Overflowed property, when it is opened. Not, if I open the file and then change text (via a variable) in this text frame, so that the text frame then assumes this Overflowed property. Could it be that I have to open the master page  and go to the corresponding page, so that FrameMaker is able to notice this issue? foDoc.Redisplay(); before the if had not helped.
