Hello,I have set a template with page numbering in master page and would like to import/Format/Template in my book chapters.In my book, I would like to show pagination numbers like this :- on odd page : page number at the top right of the page- on even page  : page number at the top left of the pageHow to do this ?

I am using FM2022 to produce HTML5 CSH via Publisher. The FM and PDF versions of the generated index look fine, but some secondary entries in the HTML5 index are displayed as book file names rather than the index marker text they contain.I have attached a screenshot to illustrate the point. I haven't seen this before even though I've published the same book many times before in the past, using the same index markers and same version of FM.

FrameMaker 2020. I am publishing some FrameMaker documents and I need the output of the tables to be wider. I have been fiddling around with these settings in export dialogue: ... but do they work? I believe I have tried all the settings now, but I am not able to see any effect. Has anybody accomplished to make these "Preferred width" features work?  

Hi.I am using FrameMaker2020(64-bit version), and I want to run the "dialog" plugin in the FDK.I have compiled the 'dialog' plugin using Visual studio 2019,and I set the dialog.dll to fminit\Plugins folder.But when I start FM2020, the following message was shown. I know I need to compile the plugin for 64-bit.I changed all '.\debug/' to '.\x64\Debug/' in the project property window.Are there other settings that need to be changed?

Hi All, My client is localizing to Chinese in FrameMaker. What are the typical Chinese fonts in Windows? Thank you. Rick

Hi,   I'm testing FrameMaker 2022 on Windows 11 pro, no other Adobe apps installed.   When I create an unstructured document I can save it to PDF only by printing to the Windows PDF printer, but NOT via Save As PDF or via Publish PDF.   When I create a structured document and print to PDF via Windows PDF printer it prints all the formatting brackets shown in the WYSIWYG view, not just the formatted content. Saving to PDF and via Publish does not work either.   Is FrameMaker not able to generate PDFs without Acrobar or Distiller?   Thanks & regards, Roland

I have a simple script to open a file from the network and import master pages using portions of Russ Ward and Klaus Daube's code:   function ImportMasterPages(doc) { var sFullPath = "\\\\Network Name\\Document_Template.fm" var Doc_Template = SimpleOpen(sFullPath, ""); //If we successfully opened the file, let's report it. if(Doc_Template.ObjectValid() == true) { // alert("Successfully opened the file:\n\n" + TCTO_Template.Name); } //Otherwise, report the failure. else { alert("Couldn't open the file! Check to see if it is an FM document " + "and if somebody is already using it. The selected path was:\n\n" + sFullPath); } Doc_Template.ShowAll = true; var formatFlags = Constants.FF_UFF_PAGE; doc.SimpleImportFormats (Doc_Template, formatFlags); Doc_Template.Close(Constants.FF_CLOSE_MODIFIED) return; } // -- end ImportMasterPages   Usually it works. Sometimes it gives us the "Could not open file ..." error. There do

Greetings to all.I don't have any experience with framemaker and therefore I can't find anything to help solving my case. I don't even know if I am using the right words to explain my issue.I am translating an owner's manual. In the right column of the following image, there is the word WARNING that is locked and I can't figure out how to unlock it. It is mixed with editable (unlocked) text. It seems this locking is programed. There is a variable named WARNING that corresponds to WARNING text frames with black background. Therefore, changing its definition doesn't change the locked text. 

I'm using Visual Studio (VS) to develop and test FrameMaker scripts.  All works fine, but to test a script from inside Visual Studio I have to click F5 (Run > Start Debugging), then select the host application (FrameMaker 2020, ver 16.0) from a dropdown list of about a dozen apps.  Is there a way to configure VS so script simply executes when I press F5.  I'm guessing it has something to do with configurations, but I have no idea what change(s) to make to configure FrameMaker 2020 as the default.  The settings.json currently reads:{ "editor.minimap.enabled": false, "workbench.colorTheme": "Tomorrow Night Blue", "launch": { "configurations": [ { "type": "extendscript-debug", "request": "launch", "name": "Launch Script in ExtendScript Engine" } ] } } 

HelloWhen I make a PDF review, at the begining I have always this type of alert window asking me to confirm if the file is coming from a safe source. Is it a way (in preferences) to set Frame Maker in order to do not display anymore this alert window nor the "acrobat distiller" window ?

Does any one know of a feature in FrameMaker or an add-on or plug-in that would check for grammar? I'm thinking of something similar to the built-in functionality of Word short of copying and pasting into Word and then revising the FM document. Thanks in advance!!!

Using Framemaker 2019.  Trying to set the default font for table titles (then of course apply to all tables using that table style).  I can change the table title font per table, but I want to set it for the style and not have to go through the entire doc and change each table individually.  Anyone know how to do that?  Thanks

I am using FrameMaker V17 to publish Responsive HTML5 help.The Assets folder in the Output contains graphic elements (screen shots) in their original .png formats and three corressponding .svg files. Each of the .svg file names are the same except for numbers appended to them. I would have thought that files with the same name would be overwritten each time I published.My only thought is that these SVG files are for other formats such as mobile apps. Any thoughts?pls refer to the attached image

Hello,What is  the most simple way to make a drop cap inside Frame Maker ?  

I wanted to use the theme charcoal_grey for a HTML5 help output.In Publish Settings, I clicked on Responsive HTML5, then under Manage Layout I clicked on "New" and choose Charcoal_Grey. I left all settings as they were to get a test output file first.But instead, it showed me a cryptic message in the log, that screen layouts are not in the settings file.("In dieser Ausgabe verwendete Bildschirmlayouts sind nicht in der Einstellungsdatei enthalten.")After a while I tried to check the Charcoal_Grey files in the installation directory, but there are none. Why are those files not there? How can I use the Charcoal_Grey theme??
