Questions

The links to this series can be found on the FrameMaker Developer pages under webinars (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/framemaker.html) and by searching the on demand seminars.   There is a also a page on the original presenters blog (http://tmaldous.com/2013/02/20/7-part-e-seminar-series-unstructured-to-xml-framemaker-10-instructional-series/) that lists all seven webinars.  The problem is that only the link to Part 3 works from both pages, and the Developer pages is missing Part 7.  All the other parts have broken links.  I have tried searching the on demand seminars just now, and the only link that shows up is linking to Part 2, even though it has Part 3 in the title.  The event number differs to the event number for the same part on both pages above.We have found these types of webinars invaluable in assisting us with planing our move from unstructured to structured.  In particular we were looking to this series to help us work up to EDD creation.&nb

Hey, allI'm working in a structured document inI have an issue where I'm trying to add a dash character between SOME of the values in a TOC/index, but not ALL of them.One thought is to create a system variable in the EDD that I could insert into the TOC/index reference pages.  If there was a value in the variable, it would show up.  If not, it wouldn't. But I haven't been able to figure out if I CAN insert an EDD-created system variable in the reference pages of the TOC or index, or if there's special formatting I need to do to it. Any ideas? Thank you

What is the procedure, or a URL to a Howto, for creating knowledge tags in FrameMaker 2015?Thank you.

HiWe are authoring content in DITA using structured Framemaker 12 and I get the following error when I try to place a text frame on an image and try to save the file. Could someone help me with this?"Multiple objects are allowed within a single frame"Thanks

Hello,Very new to FrameMaker. I’m trying to publish a ditamap in Responsive HTML5 in FM 2015. When I do, the TOC is numbered (see image). The numbers don’t appear in a PDF file. Does anyone know how I can turn off this option? I can’t find it in the settings. I feel like there should be a simple solution.Thank you!

Hi,I am using FM12, unstructured. I would like to set the entire content of a chapter to a certain conditional text (by selecting all content and setting the condition).My problem is with tables. This action only sets the table as a frame, but does not set the table cell contents as conditional. Is there a simple way to do this without scripting?Thanks in advance,Hani

I need to translate a FM12 book that contains 32 chapters = 32 .fm files. Is there any possibility to save all 32 files as .mif files at one go?And: why does FM12 not remember the last directory I used for saving?Thx for your answersSabine

Certain (not all) EPS images in a book cause the following Distiller error:%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: pdfmark; ErrorInfo: PUT nextImage ]%%After removing the images from the anchored frames the PDF can be generated again, so the error is quite surely tied to the images. Do you have any recommendations/experiences when working with EPS images?

When I try to create a table with four lines and two columns, it appears on the top of page 2 rather than page 1 where I want it. I cannot find a means to anchor it at the top of the first page. What am I doing wrong?Dennis....

Does anyone know if it's possible to use MML to get text to go into a table in a FrameMaker template please? What is the markup coding required to begin and end a table?

Hi, I am working on a large document full of text inserts that cannot be resolved (evidently there used to be a separate collection document for re-used text lines). I would like to simply convert everything to plain editable text. However, when I select an insert and try to choose Edit -> Insert properties -> Convert to editable text then an error message is displayed because the target cannot be resolved.Any ideas ho to solve this?

Hi, I recently installed a trial version of FM2015.   Now I bought a license-key. Can You tell me how I can license the trial version?When I bought the full-version FM2015, I received a pdf_file with the license-key. I also got the information, that I should intall a new trial version of FM2015 and license it.That does not make sense to me. There must be a way to update my trial version of FM2015.?

I am using FrameMaker 2015. I want to make sure that only the first instance of every abbreviation/acronym is linked to the glossary. When I search it will skip over any abbreviation/acronym that I have already linked. How can I make FrameMaker recognize an abbreviation/acronym even if it is already linked?

I migrated to a new Mac. I have a Tech Comm suit installed on vFusion. It's giving me "serial number expired" error. I retried activation, but it doesn't work. 

I have a structured DITA 1.2 application. I created DTDs, EDDs, Rules, and template files for concept, task, reference, topic, and ditabase.These files are located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\DITA_1.2\app\technicalContent.I use the Save Ditamap as Book with FM Components option to get the book with TOC, frame file(s), Index, etc.The ditabase.template.fm used by the save ditamap process has graphic frames on the reference page for hazard message icons.This file resides in the location noted above and in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker12\Structure\xml\DITA\outputTemplates.After saving the ditamap as a book file with FM components, I do not see the graphic frames on the reference page in the frame file that is created via the save as process.Is there a setting in the ditafm-output.ini file (C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\12) that will allow them to come through?The original TemplateImportFlags was set to PGF|FONT|PAG

Is it possible to have a floating licence for Frame maker 12 ?

I am looking to review this series: http://tmaldous.com/2013/06/10/7-part-e-seminar-series-unstructured-to-xml-framemaker-10-instructional-series. Currently, this links take to a MAX Online page. While this Webinar comes up in numerous Adobe searches, the links all resolve to seemingly the wrong place. Can you help me find the series?Cheers,Sean

So, in a conversion table (FM12) does an element have to contain everything that might be in it? For example:Question A)E:Head[H1],p+,(p|ul|ol|GRAPHIC|Table|Anchor|E:Section[S2])* in the element Section[S1].That is, the included 1 or more E:Section[S2] might itself contain an E:Section[S3], but the Section[S1] would not have that outside of the Section[S2]. So, should I include E:Section[S3] in the Section[S1] definition?==========Question B)Also, I don't see TEXT specified anywhere in the samples I am looking at. Should TEXT be in my conversion table?Am I correct that I should add my lists to these right, if I want lists to be valid in Sections?==========Question C)Also, I understand that the following specifices 0 or more of the contained elements: E:Head[H1],p+,(p|ul|ol|GRAPHIC|Table|Anchor|E:Section[S2])* in the element Section[S1].However, the reality is for E:Secton[S2] there has to be two or more, or none (there cannot be just one). So, does the following describe what I just sa

I have been trying to get a structured book to work in Framemaker 2015. The two chapter files are validated. But I cannot get the 'NoName' element in the book structure to work. How do you rename the 'NoName' element? I have read through a number of the forums and help files. I started with groups  and files, and couldn't get that to work. From what I saw on the forum, groups and files in a book file may not be functioning features. My current file is a book file, with two chapters, Chapter2.fm, and Chapter3.fm. I haven't seen any guide in the Framemaker documentation (8, 9, 10, 12, or 2015) that helps me get this 'structured book' file concept to work. Is it not possible to create a structured book? or an endeavor that requires developer capabilities?

Hi all,I've been having this issue using Filter By Attribute, and I'm not sure if it's because I'm using the tool incorrectly or simply a FrameMaker bug (but I suspect the former).Basically, I import an XML document into FM that looks something like this:<root>     <elem1 />     <elem2 attr="true" />     <elem3 attr="false" />     <elem4 attr="true" /></root>And then I use Filter By Attribute to apply a condition (let's call it "Changed") to all the elements that have attr="true" using the expression: (attr="true"), and another condition ("Unchanged") to those with attr="false" using the expression: (attr="false")However, the results I get are exactly the opposite! (attr="true") applies the "Changed" condition to all those elements that have the attr="false", and (attr="false") applies the "Unchanged" condition to those with attr="true".If anyone could provide some insigh

This seems so simple yet I cannot get it to work.I click into the paragraph, then in the paragraph settings I deselect the "Hyphenate" check box and click "Apply". But nothing happens, the text is still hyphenated. I also tried the spelling feature to re-hyphenate the entire document (no idea how this is called in the English UI) but this does not help either.This is a command line and has to be displayed without hyphenation. If I insert a forced line break (shift+return) then it looks fine but cannot be copied from the PDF in one piece because of the line feed.
