FrameMaker2015 - Clarification on LTR to RTL Flipping needed.

  • July 20, 2015

I had a problem after loading a file created in FrameMaker12 into FrameMaker2015 and tried to flip the document to RTL.

On contacting someone in Adobe I was informed that you cannot Flip documents not created in FrameMaker2015.

Could some one confirm one way or another because I cannot find any limitation in the documentation.

I am a little puzzled because I have found some documents will flip perfectly and others won't!

    Problem solved!

    The client had inadvertently set the "Asian Composer" which prevented the Arabic/Hebrew text from flipping.

    The remaining problems were solved after reading the documentation regarding flipping in greater detail.

    Many thanks Harsh for your speedy help.

    Hello Bob,

    In FrameMaker 2015, you can change the direction of the document (Format->Document->Direction), and that should flip the direction dependent properties as well. The same thing is true for documents of previous versions, opened in FrameMaker 2015.

    Please send me the document, which aren't flipping correctly at harshg at adobe dot com.

    Thanks!
