FrameMaker

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.

Hi all, I have just noticed that these updates are available. FrameMaker Downloads  For whats in 2022 Update 1, see 2022 Update 1 For 2020 Update 5, see 2020 Update 5  I am puzzled why the FrameMaker team do not post this information to this community? Jon

Hello all,I'm trying to create an LOEP (using Insert > List of Elements & Paragraphs) that displays the section title before its associated group of pages, but I'm running into a problem where Page 1 of each section appears before its associated chapter, and at the end of the previous section's range of pages (see example). What's going on with Page 1? It may be something I can correct in the reference page but I haven't figured it out. Reference page is pretty simple and consists of:<$paratext>                                         (heading)<$pagenum>   <$paratext>                 (page number and date) Thanks in advance.

Hi,I am trying to get the table title to appear on the following pages in a table. The table title is marked as Table Title, the first row of the table is entered as a Table Head, and the rows are labelled as Table Body. I have tried using View -> Panels -> Variables and selecting the Table Continuation entry, but when I place the cursor in the Table Title, the 'To insert a table variable, put the insertion point in a table's title, heading or footing' appears, and nothing happens.  When I placed the cursor in the Table Head and tried to add a table continuation, the continuation was added to the table head and not the table title.  What am I doing wrong?? Thank you for any help. Cheers,Elizabeth

Does anyone know how to change the tab order in FrameMaker? I have a large table to make and I want to change the tab order to go down the table instead of across. I think I did this one before but I can't remember how I did it. CRS or something.

Hi FrameMaker friends:   I am working with some students today and observed red outlines around five icons in their book window. Normally, the outlines are black for both generated files and user files (like the top two in the screen shot).   What important information is the red outline trying to convey?   Thanks in advance,  ~Barb  

I want to apply a master page that I have created and used in an .fm file, but when I update my book, my Book Error Report says "No master pages applies because the MasterPageMaps table contains no mapping information."  Does anyone have an idea why?  What can I do to fix this problem?  Please share.  Thanks!In the Reference Pages for the .fm file, here's what the MasterPageMaps tables look like:   

Dear FM experts. I am using FM2020, with structured DITA. I inherited everything from someone else, and I am not sure if the way that things are set up are considered "best practise" or not. For example, we use the <note> element which includes a prefix depending on the value of an attribute. When authoring, some of the <note> elements were written with just text, and others used a <p> element to hold the note content. Initially, both of these resulted in the same desired output, where the prefix appears at the start of the note content. However, at some point the EDD files were changed and the output of these two were different. I eventually traced this change to the following TextRulesFormatting for the <p> element, which had been removed:Part of the <p> element in the EDD:TextRulesFormattingContextRuleIf {first} < noteTextRangeFormattingTextRangeBelow you can see the difference in output with and without the TextRulesFormattingQ1: what is best p

I change fonts in Paragraph Designer and save the file.  When I re-open the file, it's as though I never changed anything at all.  Why?

Hi,I have one chapter in a book that is not showing the correct page numbers. The first page is number 7 followed by number 8, and then number 8 again. I have tried to update using Format > Document > Numbering and putting in the First Page (7) and clicking Set. That did not work. I tried Format > Document > Numbering and Continue Numbering from First Page in Book and clicking Set, and that did not work either. I checked the other chapters and the numbering setup is to Continue Numbering from First Page in Book. I don't know what else to try. Any help would be great. Thank you. Cheers,Elizabeth
