FrameMaker

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

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

I just installed FrameMaker 2022 and converted files from Framemaker 2019 over to 2022.  I cannot get the job option ncm to work.  It is installed here:   C:\Program Files (x86)\ElmSoft\FrameScript7\SampleScriptsWe have Framescript and Timesavers installed.This is the same path we used for Frame 2019.  The other job options work though so it does not appear to be the flushing error. The distiller has the -f  configuration.  Here is the error message:  Loaded SP TimeSavers v. 5.54.. 1997-2008 Shlomo Perets, MicroType (Israel)*** reading TimeSavers settings . . . completed%%[ Error: invalidfileaccess; OffendingCommand: file ]%%Stack:(w)(cepilog.tmp)/cepilog%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %% Any help would be appreciated.

I'm building some regex searches and ran into one I can't seem to solve.  I'm searching for all incorrect capitalization and punctuations of Split "S" (the aircraft maneuver).  The expression I'm using is:[Ss]plit[ -]“?[Ss]”?(?<!Split “S")The goal is to find all combinations of initial caps and punctuation (space, hyphen, quoteddbl) and using a look ahead to exclude the correct term.  It works great at finding all the variations, but also finds [Split "S]"...ignoring the right double quote punctuation.  I'm having no luck, so thought I'd turn to the experts.

I am working on a structured book with ExendScript and I want to change the top-level NoName element to an element definition that is in my element catalog.

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.
