FrameMaker

Hey folks, I'm pretty much lost trying to use Sharepoint Online as CMS. "Regular" Sharepoint is about to get shut down in our company, and we're supposed to switch to SP Online instead. Setting up the connection was straightforward enough, and I can checkout files with no problems. I'm facing two major issues though:1. The most critical issue is that FrameMaker seemingly cannot save or load any file references. All our documents are organized in .book files, with images referenced from a sub folder of the respective book. So we literally have thousands of files references (across ~200 book files). All of these break whenever we try to use SP Online.2. Another issue access speed is excrutiatingly slow. Larger files take forever to load and open, and even a simple .book file will only down- or upload after a brief pause, followed by FrameMaker's placeholder "progress" bar, and another brief pause. This happens everytime and on any connection, even Gb fibre optic LAN.Is there an

Hi there, WIN11 X64Adobe FrameMaker 2020 v 16.0.5.1096 I have a technical manual that consists of a *.book with seven (7) sections. Inside the book, I have a Table of Contents file (TOC), a list of figures files (LOF), and an Index file (IX). Now, each section has its own mini TOC (Section1TOC, Section2TOC, etc.). Now, comes the weird stuff that puzzles me.1. Only Section two (2) and section five (5) have their mini TOCs auto-updating.2. The rest of the sections' mini TOC files are not made to auto-update.3. ALL mini TOC files have identical settings and tags when comparing their Reference Pages.4. ALL sections are using the same Paragraph Styles: Chapter title, Heading 1, etc.  The client provided me with a PDF and I noticed that as in FrameMaker, only the section's 2 mini TOC and the section's five mini TOC are clickable. How can I make the rest of the mini TOCs to auto-update? Thank you in advance. 

Hi,I want to create an EDD file from scratch. I am not an expert, but till now I make some changes to available EDD files to meet our needs. However, now I want to create an EDD from scratch. I wondered if there is any documentation available on EDD's different rules.For example, I want o create an EDD file, which has a root element (BOOK) containing TITLE and CHAPTER elements. I want my TITLE element to be in the middle of the row. But I don't know how. I could change the casing and weight of the title but not its position. So, I wonder that is there any document available dedicated to EDD rules. I read various available ADOBE tutorial documents. But most of them concentrate on making a structured application. And there are just a couple of pages on making EDD files and most of them used the same sample (proposal sample). Thanks for your help in advance.Sanam

Hi, I have a problem with insert hypertext from text to picture. I can How can I easier and fast insert this. I can do it in reverse (I use hotspot). Please help solve the problem.

I need to be able to describe a context to identify the first sibling PARA tag in a sequence.  I think the {first} qualifier means the first sibling - not the first sibling of the same element type.  I have used the firstpargraph rule to implement numbering for the first paragraph in a prcitem and it works for all cases except this stupid REVST case.  Note that the REVST/REVEND need to be placed in this location so that the whole paragraph can get a revision bar.  I use the "between" qualifier in a PARA rule to turn the rev bars on.  If the REVST/REVEND were inside the PARA I don't see a means to turn the rev bars on.In the following example the first para numbers correctly.  The second one does not get a number.  This is probably because the <revst/> is considered the first paragraph so the first para rule does not fire.<prclist1><prcitem1><prcitem><para>This is the first (and only) para in a prcitem and it is numbered c

Hi all, I'm having issues with v7.2. When I import an artwork I need to title this artwork underneath. How do I do this please? I would like the 'text box' to be moved around the page, until I am happy with its position. Any advice?

I have many files that are booked. I want ot change the font of 1 style to another font. The paragraph designer is grayed out in the book. If I bring up the paragraph designer in 1 file of the book and change the font it only changes that 1 file, not all in the book.

Hi everyone,Maybe I should post a bug report, but I wanted to ask the community first.Since we started using FM22, we experience some very annoying behaviour : undoing certain actions (unchain for instance) takes a lot of time AND loses all manual formatting in footnotes (space above, etc.).Anyone has experienced the same issue ? Some tip ?Thank you,Xavier

I have seen several posts about issues with crop marks not printing with various FM versions, but no solutions. I have been using FM 2019 and printing books with the Adobe PDF printer driver, printing PDFs with registration marks, crop marks, and color bars. When I moved to FM 2022 from FM2019. using the exact same settings, the registration marks printed, but no crop marks or color bars. And when I try to use the publish pod to generate PDFs where I could explicitly select what marks to print, FM spits out a PDF without any text at all and no print marks either. The output has all the pages, mostly blank but with some of the graphics from the FM source but FM hangs without completing and I have to kill the process to recover. So I am assuming it is the interaction between FM and the Adobe printer driver, but I have run out of things to try to fix it. Tried rolling back to FM 2020 with latest updates and same issue. But FM 2019 still works. Has anyone else had this problem and actually

Good morning,I have a problem with Framemaker version 17 (release September 2022)After editing and saving a file, I close the book. When I reopen the book and open the file edited before, a warning appears that the file is already open by another user ( practically generated a .lck file). If I remove the .lck and open the file, I see that it no longer has the changes I made previously.Do any of you know how this is possible?

When trying to update Adobe FrameMaker 2020 6.4 the update screen states there is an update, but nothing else, no button to say "yes" but when we go to close it, it acts like it is updating, and asks if we want to quit the update.  but dose not show any progress, or anything. is there somewhere i can manually download the update and install in, or what is going on... i also notice that FrameMaker is not in my Adobe Creative Cloud app, like i figure it would be.

I have designed 3 book/ebook templates for Adobe FrameMaker in the three classic paper sizes, US Trade, Digest and Pocketbook. Most ebook publishing seems to have move to KDP, Lulu and and other similar places where Word is the manuscript standard. FrameMaker can do it as well, however and for mysterious reasons Adobe has never provided templates. But here you go 🙂 https://framemaker.dk/en/shop/product/47-3-paperback-templates   Reviewers?If theres anybody here who would like to give them a try and give me some feedback, I would be very happy. Write me offlist and I shall send the template to you.

I have a book with 6 Appendices at the end. I have set up the Appendices such that the first one is Appendix A (A=1) in the Autonumbering Properties, and the rest are Appendix ($chapnum). They are numbering just fine in the titles. The issue comes in my TOC, which when generated, looks like this (all of the numbered ones are showing as Appendix 0)>  My Reference View for the TOC looks like this with the orange showing the pieces I think are the issue. Please note that my ability to edit the reference info seems to be limited for some weird reason....I can't get the Appendix 0 to change>

Auf der Vorgabeseite habe ich ein graues Rechteck definiert. In der Arbeitsseite füge ich dann genau an der Stelle des grauen Rechteckes eine Grafik mit transparentem Hintergrund ein. Das graue Rechteck ist dann also eine Ebene tiefer als die eingefügte Grafik.  Im FrameMaker und auch in der exportierten PDF wird der eigentlich transparente Hintergrund immer weiß dargestellt. Was kann ich hier tun? Oder kann der FrameMaker 2017 nicht mit Transparenzen umgehen?   Verwendet wird der struktuierte FrameMaker Release 2017

I am using FM for the first time to modify the file from my customer.Do you know how to resolve the Caution label (image) as shown in the image?

I am working in a document where I want to allow line breaks after certain characters (> / \ ). The issue I'm running into is that I now have certain cases where the line will break before a period, so that the period is now at the start of the next line.Is there any way to allow automatic line breaks for certain characters but disallow breaks before periods?

Here is the Frame version:And here is the HTML5 version:The steps above "9." in the HTML5 align flush left instead of with the decimal. In the Frame file, the steps above "9." align with the decimal. I assume the CSS file needs some code added. Any help appreciated.

I am wondering if there is a way to create comments in FrameMaker that would convert as sidebar comments in a Word document. I am assuming not because of the PDF coversion in between the Frame and Word conversions. If there is a method, without creating a Comments tag, then I would like to know what that would be. Currently, I have tag called BodyRed that identifies comments in red in the body of the FrameMaker book. Thanks!

There are 4 numbered styles. - Numbered- Numbered1 (for the first in a list)- Subnumbered1 (for the first in a list - 2nd level in a hierarchy)- Subnumbered Numbered 1 is used, followed by 3 instances of Numbered. Then when I apply Numbered again, I want the number to be 2 (the next level list is based on the alphabet, not numeric). However, the next number was 5. The building blocks in defining Numbered = <n+>< >< >.\t How do I fix this?

What is the most efficient way to convert an unstructured FrameMaker (19) to an XML web-based application? This is a loaded question, I know. However, I’m trying to figure out the best approach for the conversion. Although I’m very familiar with unstructured Frame I only have basic knowledge about structured Frame terminology and processes.  Is there a resource or guide for DITA XML novice users to assist with the conversion process? Unfortunately, the document requiring conversion is large and complex with numerous MathType objects and tables (tables with embedded MathType objects), cross-referencing, linked figures, etc. Is there a third-party program to assist with the process etc.? Reviewing/creating a conversation table appears to be a daunting task.
