FrameMaker

Hello fellows,I'd like to write a script that will find broken external xrefs and attempt to restore them.  In my case, the xrefs get broken because the xref markers appearing in the source files are often updated by a system that generates these source files. I'd like to restore the xrefs by retrieving the xref string and attempting to find this string in the source files. But here is a problem: when an xref is broken, it no longer allows to retrieve XRefSrcText properly. The xref string no longer appears in XRefSrcText. I used the following code to test that:Set vCurrentDoc = ActiveDoc;Set vXRef = vCurrentDoc.FirstXRefInDoc;Loop While(vXRef)If vXRef.XRefIsUnresolvedWrite Console  vXRef.XRefSrcText;EndIfSet vXRef = vXRef.NextXRefInDoc;EndLoopSo, the XRefSrcText of an unresolved xref appears as follows:25117: TableTitleTable Entry: ;2511718;2511719While the XRefSrcText  of a live xref  appears as follows:41369: TableTitle: Table 329: Item NumberingWhat I would need

I am looking to convert some long FrameMaker tables to SVG. I don't have any SVG experience yet and am looking for pointers to existing tools, etc. Thanks.

When trying to open old pdf files in FrameMaker - the thumbnail fields are empty.

 I have DITA files that use PDF files as graphic objects. The first one is fine, the second one gets scaled down to about half its size, the third one to about 3%. I have no idea what is causing this but it looks like some internal variable that is not being reinitialised with every new PDF import.But in any case, I would expect the height and width attributes to be used. It seems that scale is overriding these and when scale is not defined something crazy starts happening. When I manually change the height and width, the same crazy scaling reappears after saving and reopening the file. Only when I set the scaling to the correct percentage are graphic sizes kept when saving and reopening the DITA file. Does anyone else have similar experiences with using PDFs as graphic files in DITA ? Is there something I am missing here?

Earlier i use to open any book with some Framemaker files and do pagination. Now i have coded to paginate in a batch.  my code loops through and opens up books one by one from a folder structure and does Pagination. However i get "Insufficient memory to open the dialog box, close one or more windows and try again".I cleared my Temp folder in local and also coded to close the book after pagination.Kindly provide some Suggestions. Thanks in advance. 

I incorpoated a .ai cover photo into my framemaker document. I tryed to save the .ai file as pdf and import the pdf directly into framemaker. as well as copy and pasting the pdf into a new document and resaving the .ai file. 3-4 of the clickable buttons do not work. a large portion or all of the buttons are not clickable when the document is saved as a pdf. Everything from the maintenance pushbutton adn below do not function as designed. i cannot come up with a different work around for the issue. This is a non-structured document.

As described in my previous post https://community.adobe.com/t5/framemaker-discussions/navigation-panel-problem-responsible-html5/td-p/12769011, I have created an additional "Heading 1 new html page", to add the choice to have a new html page for each such heading. This paragraph style is a copy of the old Heading 1. For the TOC I have created a copy of Heading 1TOC, called Heading 1 new html pageTOC. This works fine when I publish as Responsible HTML5. But I also publish pdf. The TOC looks a bit odd - in at least 3 ways. 1) The new Heading1 new html page entries have the correct font, size etc, but the page number isn't right justifed (as for the regular Heading 1.) There seems to be a missing <tab>. (If I enter it manually in the TOC, it looks fine until the next update, when the tab's are lost.) 2) The TOC indentation is messed up. All Heading 2TOC entries in a chapter having the new Heading1 new html page have been moved to the left.   3) A

I have a Framemaker file containing all my text insets, each text is in its own text frame with a text flow name. All in one page, in one file and with different flow names. No problems using the insets. But, on the second text inset file page, there are empty text frames with the same flow names, all in the same order and all have order, sizes and locations of the original frames. Sometimes there might be more than 2 pages with empty text flow frames (idential pages with empty frames). I have no idea why they keep on appreading, nor I have succeeded to delete them. I can delete the extra frames but they keep on apperaring again while opening this inset file again. Luckily, this seems to not harm my book writing, but I am wondering if this causes some problems at background. I use the latest updated FrameMaker in unstructured mode. MIF wash did not help. I see increased stability problems after the last FM software update. What is going on here? How to fix this?

At work we currently are using Framemaker 11 (I know) and Framescript 6. We have been talking about finally upgrading to the newest version of both programs, but we have some concerns. We have several framescripts that we use daily when we make our manuals and they have been working perfectly for years. We are concerned that the switch will cause issues with the functionality of our scripts. Has anyone experienced issues with older framescripts no longer working correctly when upgrading? 

Greetings, I've spend waaaaayy to much time trying to open two old .FM documents.  I don't know if they are FileMaker or FrameMaker.    I've downloaded free trials but still stumped.  If you can open it and provide PDFs I will pay $25 via Paypal.  I prefer to work through private message or email not post it on here. Thank you for you time,S

Dear all, Digging through the FDK documentation and a list of commands generted from the app object, I come across terms that are not explained anywhere. What is/are: Key Catalog commands ThemeLoad, ThemeSave ("theme" does not exist in FDK reference) commands ShowNextKit, ShowPrevKit (there are "rmkits" connected to DITA, but kit?) command WinSlavics (has same ESC sequence with ShowNextKit and ShowPrevKit) Any enlightment possible?

Dear Friends and Gurus, I want to understand this business with the called clients. Success with ApplyMasterPages and BookErrorLog, but no success with the Structure Generator. The following script runs without error, but where is the generated table document? /* E:\_DDDprojects\FM-JsxLib\FMjsxLib\Functions\Demos\GenerateConversionTable.jsx Test/Demo for Generate Conversion Table History 2022-02-15 */ ; // ======================================================================== //@target framemaker var KLD_Z = KLD_Z || {}; // global script object //@include ..\Message.jsx KLD_Z.GenerateConversionTable = function (oDoc) { // ========================== /* Generate a conversion table to convert document to structed document Arguments oDoc Document for which to generate the table Return false in case of error, else true; Comment See also function UpdateConversionTable Reference FDK Programmer's Ref

I asked this a couple of years back and was curious as to know if this can (will) be added to potential future versions of FrameMaker?ex: 1-001 to 1-025, 2-001 to 2-370, 3-001 to 3-500, 4-001... etc.[where the first value is the section (or chapter) and the 3 remaining digits represent a counter of files in that section] 

When I use FM2019 to generate Responsible HTML5, I usually have one html page per chapter (.fm file.) But a couple of the html pages become far too big, so I have decided to break them into several html pages. I made a copy of a heading paragraph style, which I use to control if a heading should be on a new html page. This works pretty fine, I get several html pages when used in one of these big chapters.   But one thing troubles me, the navigation panel doesn't look the way I want to.   If I have this "new html page" paragraph style for all headings in a chapter, it looks like: I.e each heading gets its own entry in the navigation panel - not what I want.   However, if I replace the last instance of the "new html page" paragraph style with the regular (no new html page) heading paragraph style, the navigation panel suddenly looks the way I want it:     Where I can click the Chapter title to expand and list the contents:     How can I keep this beh

Hello!I faced with a problem and tried many variants, but nothing works. I hope you'll help me.Our colleagues from Germany sent me a folder with .mif content and reference images (EPS-format) and I should change the content. When I open the book in Framemaker, the file cannot find the path to the folder with images and I manually indicate the path to each image.Then the following message appears: "Cannot display imported graphics. The images will appear as grey boxes". WHY?I tried many variants to solve this problem, but the result is the same.Maybe someone faced with the similar problem? Thank you ahead of time for your support! 

I'm looking to findout what causes this and how can i mitigate such errors. Any Ideas? I'm not the only one with this problem... 

Is it possible to autonumber headings in the format <Text><AutoNumber><Text>, e.g. Step 12: Issue Notices.I know Autonumbering can be used, but that only allow for the number to be prefix, e.g. 12. Issue Notices and that I can set up the Autonumbering to include 'Step', however, the heading may not be Step #, it could be Appendix # instead. Creating different Heading elements is not ideal. I could use Attributes. (I find it annoying that there isn't an option to surpress the prompt to optional Attributes and only show the prompt for required Attributes. Not to mention that you can't set a default attribute value for text-type Attributes. But that's just my opinion.)Is there a way to set up the Autonumbering to insert the number at a specific position, rather than first?

Hi to all,I need help over the "Doc.GenerateQrCode()" function already present in Framemaker to create QR codes for my documents. The problem is that there's no documentation about it. I googled it, but found no documentation nor instructions. Neither in the Adobe Framemaker Scripting Guide there's nothing.I'm writing to ask if someone knows, or has any idea, how to use this function correctly in extended script. Thank you very much!

I have a project now to build a new AMM, IPC manual set for a B747-400. I would like to find existing DTDs, schemas, or FrameMaker EDDs for these types of manuals. Any pointers would be appreciated. Thank you.

Currently working on updating 20+ Microsoft HTML help files (chm) for a premium product and have hit a problem with the Chm production and files I’m updating.   Note: The files I’m updating, are in Adobe FrameMaker [AFM] 2017 (Version: 14.0.4.511) on a Windows 10 fully patched OS and the remaining unrevised are/were created in FM12. My revised chms when completed and included into the build, i.e. the applications online help folder to test – fail to work, the hyperlinks (Hypertext Hrefs) don’t work and the default MS HTML Help "Cant reach this Page" is displayed. To clarify, selecting a link from an unchanged Book/Chm to a topic in one of the revised chms does not work – existing book to book links do. (Thus indicating my revised Chms are wonky..). Initial investigation in the FM source indicated the incorrect application of Hypertext links, to other Eurotherm chms - strictly speaking (or my OCD ishh) should’ve been a Cross reference not a Hypertext_message URL ms-i

Beim Starten von FrameMaker 2017 erscheint der normale Begrüßungsbildschirm nur kurz und wird dann durch die Anzeige der (ich glaube) Marketingpage vollständig überdeckt. Wie kann ich diese ausschalten oder wenigstens wieder kleiner darstellen? Den Tipp die HTML-Code zu modifizieren habe ich schon getestet. Startet man die modifizierte Seite direkt von der HTML-Datzei aus, dann ist das auch in Ordnung. Startet man aber den FrameMaker, dann ist die ungewollte Seite wieder da. ich weiß nicht weiter.

i newly started using framemaker 2020 on windows after working with an old framemaker version on solaris so far.i'm actually drawing my first picture in an anchored frame of an fm2020 document which starts as a nightmare:whenever adding or moving a line, or copying a group of lines or text, this is either not shown at all after drawing or  pasting, or shown in a wrong position, or complete nonsense is shown. so i always need to change zoom level to see the actual drawing, i.e. to update the display.i don't think that this is expected to be like that. is there a bug in the actual version of fm2020 or do i need to add or change some configuration?see examples attached.

Hello People! It's possible to create one document with two List: one of Markers and other Alphabetical Index? Thanks for your help  

I have tried publishing a book to Responsive HTML5, and each time I get the "serious internal error" message. I am using an .sts file that we used in FM2015, but I clicked yes when FM 2020 asked about updating it. Has anyone else experienced this?

When I perform a search in the HTML5 output, results that point to the top-level topics display the filename and path rather than the topic name. Other search results (for secondary topics) display the topic title just fine. I am publishing HTML5 output from FrameMaker 2015.
