FrameMaker

In one of our elements, CELLTEXT, we have the following General Rule (<TEXT> | Emphasis | BulletList | NumList | Action | Highlight)*. Another element, SLIDE, can appear only appear once, either as the first element within CELLTEXT before those in the General Rule, or the last element after those in the General Rule. I can change the General Rule to be Slide?,  (<TEXT> | Emphasis | BulletList | NumList | Action | Highlight)* so it can appear first, or  (<TEXT> | Emphasis | BulletList | NumList | Action | Highlight)*, Slide? so it can appears last. Is there a way to combine these into a single General Rule?

Hallo, wenn ich meine FrameMakerdatei abspeichern möchte, habe ich eine Fehlermeldung, die sagt ich soll Adobe kontaktieren. Grafiken werden dann nicht übernommmen und die Datei wird bspw. als Dateiname.fm.45B woran kann das liegen? 

Colleagues, I'm using the FrameMaker Server 2020 REST API on Windows 10, invoking API calls via cURL for rapid prototyping. All works as expected, _except_ when I try to POST a JSON file with parameters for the operation (example operation: creating a publishing task). My cURL command line for creating a task looks something like this:   C:\Users\Administrator>curl -v -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "X-Access-Token: <token>" http://<system>:<port>/v16/tasks -d @TestTask.json   This (and many other permutations of the "-d" option) yield:   Warning: Couldn't read data from file Warning: "TestTask.json",   Has anybody else encountered this? My JSON appears to be good, and I can invoke the same server calls via Postman and they work using the same JSON data. It may be a Windows/cURL issue, but Google did not provide any solutions.  

Hi,The PS Font appears in the FrameMaker document but it does not appear in the PDF document created with Acrobat Pro DC.The PS Font file can be printed from Windoes Fonts folder without a hassle (without Acrobat), so problem is not in the font itself. I suspect the problem is in Acrobat Distiller, because the font appears correctly in FrameMaker document!Any help with this issue will be appeciated!Iracildo

I have created a feature request for FrameMaker.When using Publish, FrameMaker will automatically create folder for the published output. While the can be practical, it is not ALWAYS practical, so I suggest making it optional.If you want to vote for it, please find the request here: https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FRMAKER-12438 

I created a custom Type 1 font and used this font to create a Character Tag in FrameMaker 2020. I used this Character Tag in several chapters of a book I am finnishing to write. Everything works flawlessly. The custom font appears in the FM document and in the PDF document. Hard to understand is why FM crashes when I apply this Character Tag to a character with DefaultParaFont Tag, for example. FM crashes when the Character Tag is applied to any character!The book is full of this Character Tag, but if I apply a new one FM crashes!I am sad because I would like to publish the book in the next month.Any help will be appreciated!Iracildo

I'm looking at using Frame in order to publish/distribute data in a more searchable and user-friendly format. An aircraft manufacturer X-inc makes available some documentation in SGML. Beginning with what appears to be the simplest example, the wiring list that contains no figures or graphics, contains the following files: SGML declaration file : SGML/WM.SDLATA WMLIST DTD file : SGML/WM.DTDWMLIST document instance file : SGML/WMLIST.SGMWMLIST graphic entity file : SGML/WMLIST.SGEWMLIST companion entity file : SGML/WMLIST.CFE  The DTD file begins with: <!-- DOCTYPE wm [ --> <!-- The following set of declarations may be referred to using a public entity as follows: <!DOCTYPE wm PUBLIC "-//ATA-TEXT//DTD WM-VER15-LEVEL2//EN" [ ]> --> The SGM file begins with: <!DOCTYPE WM PUBLIC "-//ATA-TEXT//DTD WM-VER15-LEVEL2//EN" [ <!ENTITY % graphics SYSTEM "WMLIST.SGE" > %graphics; <!ENTITY % companions SYSTEM "WMLIST.CFE" > %companions;

Hi all,   I'm running FM15, FM16 and FM17 here and they all have the same issue: when I want to insert an element FM crashes. Any idea what can be missing? Or where to look?   Note: I copied the complete installation folders from my Windows 10 machine to Windows 11 ARM - at first it all seemed to work fine but then this issue appeared.    Wim.

I have a book file with a TOC that is generating on odd pages only. the previous revision of the book was fine and i tried importing formats from that file to no avail. everything else is correct and ordered properly. using unstructured FM version 16.0.4.1062

Hi all, I have found a bug with 2020, where a workspace has a floating panel, some docked panels on the left bottom, and a book open and a document open. If the floating panel is dragged to a second monitor that is on the right of the main monitor (so displays extended, not duplicated), the workspace saved by choosing another and exiting FrameMaker, or just exiting FrameMaker. When the workspace is chosen again, FrameMaker crashes silently. This scenario worked okay in 2019 and does also work okay in 2022. The workaround is to have the second monitor on the left of the main screen. Alternatively the origin setting for the floating panel can be edited to bring it back to the main screen. I cannot see anywhere in the FDK where I can register for a notification of a user changing the workspace. I can trap session end, and check the .cfws, and edit it, or I could have a thread set to monitor changes to the .cfws files. Is there a simpler approach I can use? 2022 is

I have searched for an answer on this one. I have two files on the same computer. I publish one to PDF and all the images show up just fine. I publish the second one and no images. I havechecked all setting I can find and they are the same. I saved everything and restarted my computer and still nothing. HELP

Dear Forum-users,I'd like to know if there is a Download page for trials of older FrameMaker version. I'm looking for version 7.2 in particular because a customer wants us to work with this version. Working with higher versions from our side proofed to be difficult.Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you very much in advance.Kind regardsAngeloBurton

I am back to FrameMaker after years and never used conditions. From what I understand. The selected text has only one condition applied (Help) and that condition is on the Hide side. I did click Apply. An instance of this condition did become hidden, but many are still showing. Please help. Why is this not hidden?  

Using FM 2020 (16.0.1). We have recently begun using FM 2020, structured, with DITA 1.3. We are finding that the search function is incredibly slow. It is so slow as to make it almost unusable. When I search for a phrase that is in the last file in the DITAMAP, it takes 240-280 seconds (i.e. 4-5 minutes). When I search for that same phrase using Notepad++, it takes 6-7 seconds. This difference in speed is a factor of 40-50x. We have a few hundred DITA files in the DITAMAP (i.e. moderate size) and all files are stored locally on my hard-drive (i.e. the slowness is not due to network considerations). Does anyone else experience such incredible slowness with the search function? Why is it 40-50x slower than Notepad++?

Hello fans, I have the opposite problem to Copy text to Windows clipboard It happend only recently that I can not directly insert/paste from a translation of DeepL into the selected text in FM. But the problem has nothing to do with DeepL. Selecting text here - in the browser - and trying to paste in FM pasts on old Clipboard contents although a clipboard inspection shows new contents in HTML, Text and Unicode text The clipboard can be pasted without any problem to any app other than FM (in my case FM-19). CTRL+v does not change the selection or does not insert anything. Only CTRL+SHIFT+v (Paste Special), then Enter to paste Text changes the selection or inserts the clipboard contents.  

When I am applying a Heading cross-reference, the Cross-References Panel changes the Heading link to Cross-Reference. None of the other links created in the same page do this except this one. I have reapplied the Heading 1 to the topic. I have deleted the cross-reference link and reapplied but it still changes to cross-reference, instead of Heading.

FrameMaker 17/Windows 10I have some trouble using the option to pin recent files.1: Trying to unpin files which have been pinned - FrameMaker crashes2: Newly edited files should figure in the recent files list, but don´t3: It seems it is impossible for me to unpin the files which have already been pinned using the normal interface. Is it possible to delete the list somewhere else? In an ini file or "something"?This is the error dialog I get every time I try using the pinning feature. And I have already sent the errror report to Adobe.  

Hi group,I've got two partly overlapping images (PDF files imported by reference) in an anchored frame. When I publish my FrameMaker file to PDF (FM 16.0.4), I see that the images are transparent. How can I make the PDF image on the foreground opaque?In older versions of FrameMaker, there was this button of the middle of the Graphic Tools pallette which I could use for this purpose, but it seems to be gone in Fm 16.0.4. Kind regards Yves 

Maybe Adobe can give me more insight  here. I want to provide my toolbars also in French. Hence I was looking for the French User Guides in https://helpx.adobe.com/ch_fr/framemaker/archive.html It turns out that the guide for FM-16 is in English and also the guide for FM-17 I understand that it is somewhat early to complain about missing French (and German) user guides for FM-17 - But that for FM-16 should exist since some time. I did not find a (for this problem) relevant e-mail address on the French Adobe site.

I have an issue with editing and saving files, then remembering which file were changed. Ihave several manuals that are updated regularly. They all have several chapters in them.Not all chapters are updated. I want to add a variable that will post the date saved on the bottom. As updates are made and the chapter is saved, the date will show when, or if that chapter was updated. Any ideas would be helpful. 

Dear all - especially FM users with a German implementation. User Guide and other documentation is found by using the links provided by Help > Getting Stated > Learning Resources. But although these links claim to provide a PDF they actually provide the same thing as you are already in - a HTML thingy presented in a special app - not even a  browser. → Where are the UG PDFs located? → How to get them in another language (my installation is English International). Using the URL https://helpx.adobe.com/de/framemaker/help/help-resources.html provides the English version for FM-17... → Where to find older items: FM-15 (2019), FM-16 (2020), and also the newst one in GERMAN? Any help is welcome!  

Hi,In FM 2020, I have a table that continues over two pages. Within the table I have rows that have superscript. The definition for that superscript is placed after the end of the table. Is there a way to decrease the space between the end of the table and the text that explains the superscript. There is currently too much space between the end of the table and that text. Thank you. Cheers,Elizabeth
