I'm using Adobe Creative Suite 3, photoshop and AI software to edit my illustrations.  I save as an eps file and link to the art.  When I make a PDF the art I edited in photoshop or AI comes out fuzzy.

Hi all, what we want is this, an image in the side bar that is level to the title of the topic (DITA 1.2):So what I did was to create a corresponding paragraph style that is moved to the side bar (and the corresponding context rule in the EDD), and then insert an image with the placement set to "inline":The result, when opened in FM 2015, is displayed cropped:At first, I thought is was a simple formatting issue and that I would just need to fiddle around a bit. However, now I noticed that this is more a display error. When I select the anchored frame, open the frame properties and just click "Edit frame" without making any changes, the frame is displayed correctly (as in the first screenshot).The side bar images are also displayed cropped when I publish a PDF from the ditamap, so I really need to solve this, it is not just an annoyance during editing.Do you have any ideas, or an alternative solution for these side images?

Hello.I've just imported a ~150 topic help file into FrameMaker. Each topic is a separate .fm file (usually short) that starts with a Heading 1.I'd like to divide those .fm files into chapter segments, insert a chapter-title .fm at appropriate points, and print the resulting book file like a regular book. The TOC organization and file lengths look like this:Ch_01_Overview of the Thing.fm   imported .fm file 1,  (1.2 pages long)   imported .fm file 2, (1.5 pages long)   imported .fm file 3,  (3.1 pages long) Ch_02_Installation.fm   imported .fm file 4, (1.2 pages long)   imported .fm file 5,  (3.1 pages long)   imported .fm file 6,  (0.7 pages long)   imported .fm file 7,  (1 pages long) Ch_03_Configuration.fm   imported .fm file 8,  (0.2 pages long)   imported .fm file 9,  (4.2 pages long)   imported .fm file 10,  (0.9 pages long)  I want each

Hi AllWe are creating bookmark link for Russian characater which which link directly to the website. we could not able to view the russian character when we use postscript option. Please anyone can help for this issueRaj

Hi,has anyone come across with this? A heading has a subscript character and when you generate a PDF, the TOC page has no link. Other TOC heading links work out just fine, but all these that have subscript, these do not.I have used Save As PDF and selected even create named destinations for all Paragraphs. Usually the TOC works fine even if that is not selected. A link with subscript does not work in either case.I appreciate any help with this, thanks

I have Win 10 and FM 2015. I moved my s/w to a new computer and now I cannot update my tables or TOCs because it crashes.I've installed all of the updates and it still crashes.

I am trying to create a custom variable that will display my custom paragraph tag ChapterTitle text in the header of my master page.The definition of my variable is <$paratext[ChapterTitle]>   (although I've tried 72 other variations with no better luck)The name of my variable is ChapterTitle.When I insert this variable in the header, what it displays is:  <$paratextCan someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I CAN create a variable for the text of a particular paragraph tag, correct?? (I know there is a built-in chapter title variable, but I have dozens of .fm files that use this custom paragraph tag and I would rather not have to change all of them.) Built-in variables work, so it would appear that I am defining this incorrectly.Thank you in advance!!!!Diane

Hi, does anybody have the Bruce Foster Archive plug in to share. I have to work with FM 8 and really need it...Best regardsElisabeth

When I start a new document use the File menu>New>Document a I select a template from the template (from the default FrameMaker template directory); the default directory is AdobeFrameMaker11/Templates. Somehow the default directory has changed to the last directory where I saved a document. It never did that before. I can't find a preference where the default template directory can be set or changed. (I wonder if a win10 update might have affected things).

I have selected All Open Docs and attempted to edit the variable and then update all system variables. FM only updates a single file - so why have a selection for All Open Docs?

If yes, how?

I have used a shortcut, on previous versions of FrameMaker, that shrinkwrapped an inserted graphic and automatically applied a thin, black border to the image, in one step. This was a huge time saver, and eliminated tons of infernal mouse clicking. During a FrameMaker absence, I lost the shortcut. I've torn the Internet apart and read more shortcut cheatsheets and bloggy links than I can ever count, to no avail. Using Esc,m,p comes close, as this shrinkwraps the frame to the image and places it in the upper-left corner of the container (in my use, a single-row table for figures). But I still cannot find the shortcut that also applies what I think was a 1-point border, so you don't have to use the graphics tools to do it. Did they eliminate this feature?  :*-(  Best. Shortcut. Ever.

Hi,Just switched from FM 7.2 to FM 9.0.Does anyone know if the archive utility plugin is availiable for FM 9.0?If so, where can I find it?Thanks!

Is it possible to use the archive utility in FrameMaker 12 to create a usable archive document that is self-contained?  When I run the utility, it pulls everything together, but the links are screwy  -- main document links to one set of text insets, but THAT set of insets doesn't link to graphics. Second set of text insets DOES link to graphics, but main document doesn't link to those insets.  any suggestions?

Hello!We have FM9 and are looking for any information about Bruce Foster's Archive. We understand Bruce sadly and unexpectedly passed back in 2011, and it seems his work has become hard to locate now. Any information would be greatly appreciated!Regards,--Bob

I have a book with 60 files and the Archive-v2.jsx utility tool only goes as far as 25 files, then stops. how can I fix this? Thx.

Our document will primarily be used in the html version so we really have to make sure users can search for their problem. We realized quickly that using the regular serach will usually not solve the problem (especially if the keywords used are broad or the user doesn't know the correct term) so we decided to optmize our index to display the correct results.Now we are the ones experiencing problems: If we browse the index, it won't show sub entries. Ever. It seems like it only browses the first level.Example: In this case, my search for "aktiver Dozent" will show no results because it's a second level subentry, only "Umfrage" (the first level) is browsable.Is this a bug or is there anything we can do about it? Do you have any alternative solutions (such as working with search metadata)?Edit: Used version: FM 15

I'm trying to get rid of the unavailable fonts message. I've deselected Remember Missing Fonts in the preferences, saved the file, and reopened it. The messages still appeared. I tried restarting FrameMaker and also saving the file as MIF and resaving as a FrameMaker file.Any ideas what I can do to get rid of this message? I created a list of fonts, and the missing fonts aren't listed. If they're used on a reference page, I don't care. I just want the error message to be gone.

Hi, I have a very unusual problem. The last three Fridays around 3pm or so, when I get ready to go home for  the day, I try to save my work. I get the FrameMaker window that says the file name does not exist. I look in the folder and the file is gone. I put an IT ticket in. I come in on Monday, the file is back in the correct location, and all is well. The next Friday the same problem occurs, same time, and day of the week. I asked a senior IT support person to check out the problem by coming over to my desk. I take screen-shots of each step as I close out my FM file, and put in another IT ticket. By the time I get ready to go, the file shows up in the folder around 5pm. So I proved, I'm not crazy.....the senior IT person witnesses the problem. The IT group has no real answers. That's two times, two Fridays around the same time. I decided to work off of my laptop desktop. In the preference area of FrameMaker, I had chosen both an Automatic Backup on Save and Auto Save Every 10 min

When I Print to PDF, the table works fine. When I Save as PDF, the content is generated but it is invisible. This was first seen in 13.0.0.33 and it persists in 13.0.4.253. These are simple tables, with no conditional text, text insets, variables, strange para or char formats. MIF-washing did not fix it.I saw it last night on my machine in Boston, and reproduced it this morning here and on a different machine with a different file by a different writer in Hyderabad, India.

I'm trying to download the Framemaker trial. I've tried with and without the Adobe DLM. With the DLM, the download never starts (sits at 0%). Without the DLM, clicking the two download links doesn't result in anything happening. For reference, these are the two download links given:http://www.adobe.com/products/download-trial/dlm.html?product=adobe-framemaker&version=2015&sku=FS0004020&prdLabel=Adobe%20Framemaker%202015&prompt=prompt&language=en_US&dlmtype=2#http://www.adobe.com/products/download-trial/dlm.html?product=adobe-framemaker&version=2015&sku=FS0004020&prdLabel=Adobe%20Framemaker%202015&prompt=prompt&language=en_US&dlmtype=2#
