I am using a .h header file that is provided to me by the development team, putting it along side the .book file, but when I generate the HTML5 it no longer generates the CSH mapping. All calls to the CSH URLs go straight to the default page. This worked flawlessly in FM 2017.I've noticed that the .h file that is added to the FM output folder has an extra line added at the end with a marker that doesn't exist, and that the .ppf file doesn't contain any <contextentry> nodes like it used to. Has anybody got CSH working in Responsive HTML5 with a provided .h file in FM 2022 ?

I have now tried about 7 times to install FM-17 (either the released version 17.0.0 or the updated version 17.0.1) to H:\Adobe\FrameMaker.17en. The installation runs to 88% and then issues an error code 183 - and the target folder is deleted. Between the installations I have rebooted the system to have a clear situation. There was no such problem to install FM-16.0.4 to :\Adobe\FrameMaker16.en. There was no such problem on Windows 10... The UI in W11 is also strange and difficult to read (dark grey on black, cropped inner window). To preserve some of my older FMs I tried the following installations: I did'nt really expect FM-8 to run in Win11, althoug it runs fine in Win10 - as all the other versions listed here also do. It is surprising that FM-11, 12 and 13 work absolutely fine, including the creation of PDF via distiller. FM-14 displayes a strange behaviour: the menu is only visible if the window is maximised (on a 32" wide sceen...). And some of the ETB features do not work co

Hello All,I need help installing new S1000D templates in adobe FrameMaker. If anyone has some free time and can explain to me what the right way is to go, I would be very happy.Rgards,  Attila.

Hopefully there is a simple solution to this issue. Running Framemaker 19 and recently I can select text and place my cursor in the file, but I cannot type, delete text, change formatting, etc. We've ruled out the file being locked and the keyboard being broken, but other than that we're stumped.  Restarting everything didn't work either. Thanks!

Good afternoon,on a PC with Windows 10 and Adobe FrameMaker 2017 the error message I am attaching appears. I am also attaching the txt file specified in the text of the error message.Adobe FrameMaker already has all updates installed. Can you help me solve this problem? Thank you.Best regards. Luca

After so many years, we are still forced to print to .ps, then use Distiller when making PDF files from FrameMaker. That should not be the go-to in 2023. I would prefer to use Save As PDF, but unfortunately this option ignores the image compression settings chosen in the PDF-preset (and instead uses some fixed hidden settings that are not good). To reproduce the problem/bug:Insert a raster image (in my case an Ai-file containing a raster image) that is 330 PPI and some illustration-style graphics (to make JPEG compression artifacts extra visible). Create a PDF preset with the image compression settings set to JPEG, Maximum Quality, and to downsample images above 450 PPI to 300 PPI. (These are common defaults). Choose this preset in the Publish settings, and Save As PDF.  Print to postscript (.ps), and use Distiller to create a PDF (same PDF preset as before). Open both PDF files in Acrobat and compare. Expected result: Both PDF files should

I'm using Adobe Framemaker 2019 and within a book, when I refresh, the TOC is NOT getting updated. Never seen this before. Need immediate help.

I am using a List of paragraphs to creat a List of Effective Pages.  I need to add the chapter number at the start of each chapter's list of pages. To do this I have created a new text box at the right hand side of each first page in each chapter at the end of the chapter name line at the top of the page and entered the Chapter No. in this box using a unique paragraph tag. I have done it this way as the document content is largly finished and I don't want to add extra lines to the first page of each chapter as this will affect the pagination of the document. I can create the LOP document with all the entries I need. The problem is the info with the page version and date is placed on the line before the chapter number. See attached. I have tried rearranging the order of the lines in the reference pages. I have tried giving them differemt flows with the chapter number flow C and the page veriosn and date flow D.  How can I get the chapter number to appear fi

Not sure if all the PDF creation methods are ultimately using the same code, but I do know that calling the SaveAs method for a Doc object from scripting is extremely slow. I need the fastest PDF creation method that FrameMaker has to offer, but it should be possible to call it from ExtendScript. Any suggestions are welcome. And I am sure others will be happy with some positive answers, too.

This is an A6 page published to pdf with cropmarks. As can be seen the A6 page apparently changes size when using the offset feature in the Publish Dialogue. Ofsett should merely move the line further out of the bleed area - not change the entire page size. Is this not a bug?  

Anyone know if there are plans fro a native M1/2/3 version of Framemaker? I would lover to integrate it into my clients workflows. (Our environment does not permit Windows emulators).

This will be a tough two part question.With one template, we are having an issue where if you add a page break, FM will add disconected flow pages. For example, in a 9-page file, pages 6 and 8 will have headers and footers from the master page, but they will not have the dotted text border for the main flow content. So they aren't technically "Blank" pages.It seems to mostly happen before and after art pages (Page 7 has an anchored frame with an image on it.)Saving the file does not clear the pages. Manually selecting the pages does - i.e. Format>Document>Delete pages.But I would prefer to have a script so that I don't have to manually notice and remove the pages.Question 1: What causes this and how can it be stopped from happening.Question 2: I'm not sure how to prevent this. I found a script called RemoveEmptyPages from the .zip file at https://www.daube.ch/docu/fmaker88.html That is designed to just delete empty pages at the end of the document and then stop. I tried

Right now, when I save a PDF, clicking a cross-reference or bookmark will jump to the destination and align it to the top of the screen in Acrobat.  What I need to have happen is that when you click the link it will show the full page view. i.e., If I have a cross-reference destination at the bottom of the page, I need to be able to see the full page and not just the paragraph that the cross-reference is linked to. Is this possible without having to redefine all of my links after saving out the PDF? Thanks.

I want the second page of my document to be blank - no headers or footers. If I manually go to Format>Page Layout>Master Page Usage>Custom - There is an option called None which achieve this. I have the following script:function ApplyMasterPages(doc){var bodyPage = doc.FirstBodyPageInDoc;bodyPage.ApplyPageLayout(doc.GetNamedMasterPage('Cover Page'));bodyPage = bodyPage.PageNext;bodyPage.ApplyPageLayout(doc.GetNamedMasterPage('None'));}It doesn't give me an error, but it doesn't remove the headers and foolters either.I realize I could create a new Master Page without headers or footers and name it "Empty" and apply that it would probably work, but that seems redundant when the built-in option "None" should work. Thanks for the assistance!

There's a two-part webinar from 2015 that I'd like to see:https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2015/01/14/framemaker-how-to-write-your-own-extendscripts-part-1 The recordings are linked here:https://2567517.meetus.adobeevents.com/https://2569279.meetus.adobeevents.com/ but when I follow those links I get a message 'Event registration is not available!' Is there a way to get those recordings?

I am trying to create a structured version of one of my templates, but it is not going well. I create a conversion table of on of the main chapter files. I structure my chapter based on the conversion table. But for some reason FrameMakes seems to make a mess out of the table elements. It seems the element "Table" is missing and I suspect I shall have to create it manually in the conversion table? Perhaps?... What am I doing wrong here?   regards Bjørn

I am running FrameMaker Version: 17.0.1.305 - Unstructured. When I use the Save as Pdf feature, with or without Distiller, the process quite often won't finish. A pdf IS generated, but the dialogue is still open and won't close and the tps file is not being deleted. Eventually I will have to force a closing of FrameMaker leaving lots of *.lck files everywhere. It seems to make no difference whether I am using Save as Pdf or Publish to PDF. The only way to avoid it, is using Print to PDF.  What might be the problem and is there a fix?... regards Bjørn

Hi All, I want to programmatically create a structured FrameMaker book without using entities. Is there an equivalent XML syntax that I can use? I am using XSLT to create the book and I don't want to use entities if I can avoid it. Below is an example of a current book with its entity references.

I believe I am running my head against something super simple, but never the less something I don't understand. I want to insert a table with a footer row in a DITA topic (or any other FM structured document), but for some reason that is not possible? The structure breaks in every context, and I have not been able to fix it either using the EDD. What is it that I don't understand here? Can anybody help? FM 20222, structured, Version: 17.0.1.305 Best regards Bjørn  

Using FM 2022 Unstructured. I added a second text frame to the master page and tagged it as "B" and unchecked the Autoconnect box in Text Frame Properties and the feature of deleting empty pages when saving no longer works. If I remove this text box from the body page and the master page, the feature will work again. I added no content to the text box on the body page and on the master page the text box is separate and not inside any other text box. Probably something simple I'm doing wrong but hope someone can help. Trying to set up an automatic List of Effective Pages. Thank you
