Questions

I am publishing a large book to HTML5.  I have this issue that some of the images become too small when published as HTML5. Text becomes difficult or impossible to read. I CAN scale the images in the FM document before publishing, but it is a tiresome and error prone process. Is it possible, somehow, to have FM scale certain images automatically during publishing?

I am working on a script for someone using FrameMaker 12. When were Object Styles added to FrameMaker? Were they on FrameMaker 12? Thanks in advance.

Downloaded new version, FrameMaker 2022, Version: 17.0.5.725. We use product interface FrameMaker, and my Save As for book or a single file is grayed out. I uninstalled and reinstalled.  No joy still missing.  

Has anyone noticed the Auto Save Every x Minutes check box in Preferences not staying selected in FrameMaker 2022? Yesterday, FrameMaker crashed and none of my changes were saved. The Auto Save check box was not selected, which I thought was strange because I was pretty sure I had it set to save every 5 minutes. I selected the Auto Save check box and set it for 5 minutes. I worked the rest of the day with the file automatically saving as expected. I was working in the same file today when FrameMaker closed without warning. None of my changes were saved, and when I checked Auto Save, it was deselected again.

I would like to insert these, subscripted, characters in a glossary marker:   I would expect that there are numbers in unicode which will do this - but how do I find them?      

こんにちはいつもお世話になっております連続投稿すみません。DTP業務で、日本語.fmデータ → XML → 翻訳ツール → XML → 英語.fmデータの工程で英文マニュアルを作成しています。その際にTable困ったことがあって、ここに投稿させていただきました。困りごとと言うのは添付ファイルのように日本語はテキスト数が少ないが、英文に翻訳されるとテキスト数が多くなり、Table内のテキストが行送りされてしまいます。取引先に納品する際に、何百ページあるものをすべて目で確認して、行送りされている箇所があれば、表の列幅を広がて単語が行送りされないようにしています。（何十時間もかかっています）そこでお聞きしたいのですが、行送りされたものを強調表示させる既存機能はないでしょうかよろしくお願いします

Hi All, This is what my Figure-1column element looks like in the EDD: Element (Container): Figure-1column   General rule: Graphic, Figure-title*   Automatic insertions      Automatically insert child: Figure-title   Text format rules      In all contexts.         Numbering properties            No autonumber format.         Default font properties            Size: 3pt         Pagination properties            Keep with previous: Yes   Banner Text: Banner Text But when I import the EDD, there's no banner text in my Figure-1column elements. I did make sure to make sure that element banner text is checked in the View menu. What am I doing wrong?

Greetings, everyone:I am trying to insert a registered trademark symbol in my Framemaker 2019 document, and it's not working.According to the help, the combination is Ctrl+q Shift+9, but this isn't working. All I get is an e character from the Ctrl+q.I'm using Arial font.Please help! Thank you!

I have FrameMaker 2019. I'm using custom fonts which are installed on the computer. When I select a custom font in the Paragraph Designer and apply it to a paragraph, the text changes to random characters. So something like the word "Characteristics" becomes "B12YGN/32Rtul4N." I copied the errant text into Notepad and it still says "Characteristics" but that's not what is displaying in FrameMaker. Any ideas?

こんにちはお世話になっております。例えば、ブックに先頭から「A.fm」、「B.fm」の順にファイルを登録してあり、「A.fm」のファイル内には「B.fm」への相互参照が貼られているとします。全ファイルを開こうとした時、ブックの先頭にあるファイルから開かれていきますが、この「A.fm」を開いた時には、まだ「B.fm」は開かれていません。そのため、FrameMakerは、「参照先が無い！」と判断し、実際には参照先があるにもかかわらず、アラートを出してしまうのです。そのため、ファイルを全て開ききったあとにブック更新をすると解消します。しかし、ファイルを閉じた後に再度、データを開くと同じアラートがでるのはデフォルトの仕様なのでしょうか？ご教授のほどよろしくお願いします。

Hello,I am reaching out for assistance regarding links to drawings and tables. I am working on an extensive document (over 1000 pages) concerning a parts list (drawing and parts catalog). The problem essentially consists of three parts: I would like the program to automatically take the user to the corresponding position in the parts list table, which would also be highlighted, upon clicking the drawing in the appropriate place.I would like hovering over a number in the drawing to highlight it.I would like the user to be automatically taken to the corresponding number in the drawing and have it highlighted upon clicking the table. I use Framemaker 2019Is there a way to automate the process due to the number of pages in the document.I kindly request your assistance and a prompt response. Best regards,

I've been working my way through our various deliverables to setup PDF tags so that we can use the PDF comment import feature. I've only done two books so far, but this second book is throwing me for a loop. Maybe someone can tell me what magical spell I must utter or the underlying logic of how it works.  I'm setting up the "Tags (Distiller)" part of the PDF Setup for Print options. I set up one file and wanted to import to other files. I've done this once before with no issue. However, on my second book, it imports partially correctly. Or a tag that is listed in the setup file is not on the included list in the imported file. For example, the included paragraph tags will include tags that are not in the included list in the first setup file. In some cases, a particular paragraph tag might be level 8 in the setup file, but level 39 in the imported file.  Anyone know how the Tags (Distiller) actually works? Or how to solve this problem without manually adjustin

Hi y'all! I'm new to using FM and have inherited a particular documentation template for my job. One change we want to make it to add a autonumber counter in a BugFix element prefix for Fixed/Current Issues in release notes, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get the autonumbering to work. For context, here's a sample of what the Fixed Issues looks like in vivo: Basically, what I want to do is add an autonumber counter in front of the "Issue" prefix. For this element, the "Issue" prefix value is followed by an attribute value where the particular bug/issue number can be entered via a value text box in the ZOI attribute. The document is structured, and this is what the structure looks like (the "ID" is a random jumble I typed in to see what it would change. It didn't do anything): Here's what the plain EDD Prefix rules for the IssueDescription2 element looks like: I have played with the EDD and tried adding a <n+>, <n=1>, <n>, and other

I have inherited a FM project that uses DITA 1.3 and FM2020. It has been working with FM2020 for a few years, and I am now trying to upgrade to FM2022. The first problem I have encountered is that in FM2020 all <draft-comments> were hidden in the published PDF, whereas they are now included/shown in a PDF published using FM2022. I am trying to solve this problem and realized that I have no idea how/why the <draft-comments> are hidden in a PDF published using FM2020. The only clue I have is the following comment from the previous FM-admin:“The Audience attribute is also contained in the DITA file, and is nominally used to hide draft-comments.” Details:I am publishing my PDFs using a .STS file (i.e. as-shipped with FM)I have a customized structapps.fm which points to \templates folder which contains our custom templatesFor testing, I have created from scratch a very simple .DITAMAP with 3 .DITA files: one concept, one reference and one task.Each of these .DITA files has

I want to find and replace strings in Framemaker's Extendscript (jsx).- Searches for a specific string with a regular expression and replaces the string.- Find specific text and apply a paragraph style to the paragraphs that contain the text.Framemaker's Extendscript has so little information that it is completely unknown.Please tell me who is kind.

I am new to scripting. First time attempt with ExtendScript on FrameMaker version 15.0.8.979.  The ExtendScript Toolkit 4.0 opens, but when open a script and runs it, it shows the error message "(#57) Engine 'fmEngine' does not exists!"How to fix it and successfully use the ExtendScript Toolkit ?Your experienced guidance will help a lot and appreciated.

Hello, We work in a structured .fm document/book. We want to have clickable words in a table, so that each jumps to section of the document when clicked. We couldn't do it with Xref because the clickable text must be something different than the target section title. So we did it with Hypertext elements: - In the table, we inserted a Hypertext container with an embedded HypertextMarker. See below how those are defined in our EDD. Within the Hypertext container we added the text to be displayed, along with the HypertextMarker element. The HypertextMarker command is for example "gotolink VERSION", with "VERSION" the name of the target marker. See structure below:Table TableMain TTitle THeading (...) TBody CellBody Hypertext HypertextMarker ...... gotolink VERSION Para ..... VERSION - In the target section, the target HypertextMarker is defined as "newlink VERSION", with "VERSION"

The structured developers guide describes <$elemtextonly> like this:"The text of the source element (up to the first paragraph break), excluding its autonumber and any prefix and suffix specified in the element definition." I have an element, Figure-title, with a built-in suffix. I also have a Cross-reference style that uses the <$paranum> and <$elemtextonly> building blocks. But when I create a cross-reference that points to my Figure-title element, the suffix is still included. So I create a text-level element called Suffix. I move the suffix to this element. I add Suffix inside my Figure-title. Suffix is still included in my cross reference. So I create another text-level element, FI-title. Now I have two text level elements: one to contain the main figure title, and one to contain the suffix. I place both inside the Figure-title. Since I need to reference the Autonumber as well, I create two adjacent cross references: [the autonumber of Figure-

こんにちはいつもお世話になっております。DTP編集の初心者です。 フレームメーカー2020で編集をしています。編集している際に毎回ページ末に空白ページができてしまいます。例えば、50ページあるデータを編集して最終的に20ページになった場合に残りの30ページが空白ページとして残ります。いつも手動で30ページを削除しています。ブックに.fmデータが20ファイルあった場合、30ページ削除を20ファイル繰り返し実施しています。ブックで一括削除する既存コマンド及びスクリプトはないでしょうかご教示のほどよろしくお願いします

I have a client using FrameMaker 2022. When he shows the Structure View, no text snippets show next to elements. I can't find a switch to turn this on.

Running Frame 17.0.1.305 (Frame 2022)I am using Frame to publish documents to Responsive HTML. In Frame 2017, I can specify file names using a marker. In Frame 2022, nothing works. No matter what I do, whether I use Insert > Publish Marker > Apply Page Break Marker, whether I try custom markers, split on paragraph style or not, Frame always creates filenames based on heading text or the file name. Is this a bug? Has anyone been able to successfully specify file names for HTML output?Thanks for your help

Hi,When I save my FrameMaker book, all of it converts except a section where I have the front matter, front cover, TOC, LOF, and LOT. Everything starting with Introduction outputs fine. I highlighted the info in the attachment. Any ideas? Thanks, Julianna 

HiI have a small book, which comprises two files plus the TOC. When I create the output, HTML5, only the TOC displays correctly, but none of the content is displayed.   

Context: I'm using FM 2022, and this is the first structured book I've ever made.   I created a book (File > New > Book), then added the following documents: RevisionSummary ForewardSafety Chapter1... through Chapter5   Chapter1 - Chapter5 pull elements from the same EDD, which includes the following: - Chapter (highest level element in the document -  Section (there are several sections nested within eachother)   The other two files also include Section and Chapter elements, though the element catalogues are pulled from a slightly different EDD.    I want to create a book-level TOC that includes the Chapter and Section elements for all of these files. However, when I select Insert > Create TOC, the Chapter and Section elements are not available. In fact, most of the elements in these documents are not included.   Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
