FrameMaker

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.

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. Best regards, Winfried

How can I add Grammar check in Adobe Frame Maker?

Can Someone Explan what are Pair kem, Change bar, Tsume, and Superscript in Adobe Frame Maker? 

I'm a brand new user so I'm going to assume this is a 'me' problem but I cannot seem to find any way of getting FrameMaker 2022 to default to mm's and A4 pages on start up. Everything I have found so far seems to suggest this is either a 'per session' or 'per document' setting ... which I hope is not true. I've looked through the maker.ini file and can't see anything there that looks like it is related, which makes me feel a bit nervous about being able to make those settings 'stick'. Can someone either point out what I'm missing, or confirm my fears?  Thanks in advance
