FrameMaker

Hello. I've spent a ton of time getting a .css that matches a book with over 35 chapters. We get the pdf ready for the printer, then publish the same content to HTML 5 for a software product.  For the past number of years, this would happen fairly seamlessly. There would be cleanup of tables, but the overall formatting was good-to-go for the most part. However, when I used FM 2020, the output was radically different than it has been in the past -- the index isn't working (it's showing the Frame code used for the index markers), most of the styles in my custom .css aren't being applied (a few are ie., for body and headings), among quite a few other things.  Previous builds have also only generated one .css, and I'd add my custom .css  tho all the files using regular expressions. Now it's auto-generating three different .css, including one that appears to be for Robohelp -- which I haven't seen in years.-------------------------------<link href="../../rhs

Ok, this pretty simple. According to Sharepoint, we have 260 ish files in a single folder. But the Repository Manager will only show around 200 of them at once. Is this normal/intended? Will it only show 200 files per folder/tree level? Cheers, Tom.

I'm using FrameMaker 2020 (v16.0.2) just long enough to build output templates for the FMPS and AEM XML. I need to be able to hide all <draft-comments> in the PDF output (and eventually all outputs). In our current system, these were automatically hidden in outputs so we've made extensive use of them as notes between authors that are not deleted. I can see that <data> or <data-about> may have been the better choice for this sort of thing, but that ship has sailed. 🙂 Is there any way to hide draft-comments in all outputs? I'm assuming that's handled somewhere in the EDD.FM file. I found where the draft-comments are defined, but I'm not seeing any place obvious to set the output to "hide". Is it in the outputclass setting?

Please see Log4j 2 (adobe.com)for Adobe's official response to this issue.

Running Version: 16.0.0.754I am trying to add in new pages to the middle of a document. I go to Insert > Page Break. But no new pages show up. Is there something wrong with my FrameMaker or is there another way to add pages?

We use inline MathML equations in some of our DITA topics. Up until recently (I switched computers but set up the same environment in FrameMaker and Distiller), the inline equations appeared inline. Now, they appear below the line with the insertion point.Is there a setting I missed?Any help appreciated. I've attached 2 image files showing the same content in the published (working) copy and the most recently generated version.We're going from FrameMaker 2020 (16.0.3) to PDF.Help, please. This just doesn't make sense to me and I'm now just repeating searches I've already done twice to find the culprit. Wanda

Hi,In my FDK client, I have a costume dialog box (main dialog box) that clicking one of its buttons opens another custom dialog box (second dialog box) while the main dialog box is still open. What I want is that when the user clicks OK in the second dialog box, it closes just the second dialog box. But when the user clicks the OK button in the second dialog box, FrameMaker closes both dialog boxes. In my "F_ApiDialogEvent" function, I used the "F_ApiClose" function and passed it to the second dialog box's ID. But, the result was the same; pressing the close button closes both dialog boxes immediately. Any help regarding this issue will be appreciated.Sanam 

Gidday everyoneI need to re-install FrameMaker 2017, which I've got a subscription for. Has anyone got a link to the download file? I can't find it.(I can't use move to a more recent FM version because our CCMS won't talk to anything newer than 2017.)ThanksRebecca

Does anyone know if the zero-day exploit affecting the popular Apache Log4j utility (CVE-2021-44228) that was announced on 12/9/2021 will affect Adobe FrameMaker, Version 16.0.3.979?

I edited the style mapping in FM and it didn't work. I edited every CSS I can find in the output folders and subfolders (by opening in Notepad). The links are all still blue. Any ideas?

I use FM 2019 to publish as pdf, responsive HTML5 and chm. My FM book consists of a number of FM files. Most of the files are just fine to have as one HTML page each, but a couple of them turn out too big as HTML. Can I somehow have just these big FM files split into many HTML files? (Typically I'd have one HTML page for each "Heading1" paragraph style.)  

When I publish to HTML5 Indigo output, the landing page TOC icons are picking up the names of the source FM TOC and document files instead of Heading 1:  Then if I select a landing page topic, the right aligned TOC shows the names of the TOC and source doc file as H1 and my heading 1s are sub-topics:I have no idea how to fix this, any advice would be greatly appreciated.-Bill 

Hi there! I am on FM 2020 structured XML, with FrameScript 7. In order to address an apparent bug, we need to explicitly set the FM workspace. (This is because, if the Structure View is open, running a script on our books always launches a popup asking to save structure.fm. I don't want to save structure.fm and am not even sure if that is a file that exists.  But this hangs the run.  So I want to set the workspace right at the start to one that does not have the Structure View open.). According to the FrameScript doc, the command is:Set ret = eUtl.SetWorkSpace{fm_workspace}; where ret is the return code, and fm_workspace is the name of the workspace. We have tried:Set ret = eUtl.SetWorkSpace{Struct_noStructureView}; Set wrkName = eUtl.GetWorkSpace{};or justSet FMWorkspace = eUtl.SetWorkSpace{Struct_noStructureView}; But we always get the error: "FrameScript: Run Error (Invalid Property) on command (SET) at Line (17) -- which always points to the 

Hi Folks, We have just upgraded to FM 2020 and hence to FrameScript 7.  I know that many users have migrated to ExtendScript from FrameScript, but that is not a task we want to take on now. We have a few questions regarding FrameScript -- I am wondering if there is a forum that has replaced the old Yahoo FrameScript group?  Or if there is an archive saved somewhere in the cloud of all those discussions? It was a treasure trove of info. If not, I will likely post a couple of specific questions here. Thanks much,Shelley

The default PDF output for nested DITA <title> elements in a ditamap is to number the top two titles in the hierarchy 1, and 1.1. The numbering is assigned via the title.0 and title.1 FrameMaker paragraph tags (which I assume are applied from the files in C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe FrameMaker 2020\Structure\xml\DITA\outputTemplates).  I would like to have 4 levels of section numbering, i.e.,1.1.11.1.11.1.1.1I added numbering to the title.2 and title.3 paragraph formats in the ditabase1.3.template.fm file and imported the file here:However, the numbering didn't show up in the PDF. What am I doing wrong? 

I want to sweep templates for almost 100 Books and each book contains 1000's of FM files.

Hi all,I tried to change the color in CellOverrideShading but I didn't get it.My attempts were the following:First I tried to get the index of the color property via GetPropIndex: var testProp = cell.CellOverrideShading.GetProps();var testPropIndex = GetPropIndex(testProp, Constants.FP_Color);But the result is "-4", so it seems that CellOverrideShading has no FP_Color property.Second: I tried to change the color via the PropVal object:     testProp[1].propVal.sval = 'Olive';When I print the properties to the Console the color name seems to be updated to 'Olive'for (var i=0; i <testProp.length; i++){            propText = propText + ' \n' + i + ': ' + testProp.propIdent.name + ' - ' + testProp.propIdent.num + ' - ' + testProp.propVal.sval;}1:  - 20 - Olive Then I assin the properties to the cell.cell.CellOverrideShading.SetProps(testProp);But the color in the Frame document remains unchanged. When I print

My table caption numbering is all correct except for 1 number. I am using 2 styles. Table Caption Start - T:table\ <n=1>: (so it doesn't start with zero) and then Table Caption - T:table\ <n>: The table caption after  number 4 is 6 instead of 5.I have checked the numbering at the file and book level and they matchI have auto-numbering on Let me know if you need more information

Working on a file that has disconnected pages part of the way through.  The TOC generates just as it should, however when saving the file to PDF, the bookmark for the disconnected pages appear before the chapter title does.What is happening:What I want to happen:Am I doing something wrong/is there an easy way to correct this issue?

I recently had to re-image my laptop and lost the roboto font I had installed previously. Yesterday I searched the forum and found this article: Solved: Embedding fonts used in a source Framemaker file i... - Adobe Support Community - 11929791 I followed the directions, but the fonts in my document don't appear to be roboto. They look more like arial. This is for my project that's a book. Another document I've created does seem to have roboto, but that isn't a book. Any help would be appreciated!Cindy 

Hi All, I am having a problem programmatically saving a structured book to PDF with ExtendScript. I can run the code below repeatably on an unstructured book. But when I run it on my structured book, it runs fine the first time, but the second time it gives me an error and locks up FrameMaker. Script Error : Error Message : Uncaught exception Script, Line# : C:\Users\rick\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\15\WE-SaveActiveBookAsPdf.jsx, 22 I tried adding a try/catch block but it still fails without catching the error.   If you have a structured book and can test this on your machine, I would appreciate it. I am using FrameMaker 2019 15.8.979. Here is the code: #target framemaker; var book, name; book = app.ActiveBook; name = book.Name.replace (/[^\.]+$/, "pdf"); saveBookAsPdf (book, name); function saveBookAsPdf (book, name) { var params, returnParams, i; params = GetSaveDefaultParams (); returnParams = new PropVals (); i = GetPropIndex

When using "confirm", the text is displayed in the languagewhich is selected in the system setting:var Input = confirm("Header",1,"Message");But there is no way to translate the text by myself."$.locale" also doesn't work. Has anyone found a way to do this?

Hello, I have a modeless dialog (palette) that is open in FM. Is there a way to notify the dialog when the insertion point changes in the target document? Looping through all tables in doc, but need to refresh the dialog if the user skips a table and selects the next one or last one.Any help is greatly appreciated!

I am making a huge bunch of XLIFF files, but the xts file keeps corrupting on me. Right now I have made a backupversion of the original xts file which came with the installation of FrameMaker, but is there and option to create a brand new one like we do in the Publish panel?
