Questions

I have a project with a mathbook for a customer right now which has investigate equations in FM. I was not aware that MathML had ceased to be maintained and it seems FM's own builtin editor is not entirely up to date either. Are there any alternatives? What do other people do?

I was given a file created a few years ago. This file has over 75 files and each one is missing a few images each. There is an image foldeer with all the images in it. My qiestion is there a way to link all the images back to the files without have to relink each one?

Hi,I have an ExtendScript script which changes the language of all paragraphs.It also changes the language of those paragraphs which are in tables.Now I also want to change the table formats so that they contain the paragraphs with the changed language and not with the old language.However, my script deletes somehow all table formats!What I do:For each table format add a new table.Then the language of all paragraph formats is changed and imported into the file.Now update the table formats. for (var li = 0; li < faArrayTables.length; li += 1) // faArrayTables is an array with all these new tables. { loTable = faArrayTables [li]; laProps = loTable.GetProps (); loTblFmt = foDoc.GetNamedObject (Constants.FO_TblFmt, loTable.TblTag); loTblFmt.SetProps (laProps); } loTblFmt.SetProps deletes all table formats!I guess that I cannot just transfer the properties of an existing table to a table format. And this deletes the table.How can I update the table format of a table?Best regards, Win

My FrameMaker 2022 document uses a paragraph format with an automatic bullet in the "Numbering > Format” field. The FM2022 created chm file displays this as:  While FM2019 had no problem with this:However, the MIF output for the autonumbering is identical in both FM 2019 and FM 2022, but:- FrameMaker 2019: The CHM output displays the bullet correctly.- FrameMaker 2022: The CHM output displays the bullet followed by a question mark. How do I get the desired output using FM2022?

I am making a operations and maintenance manual and want to embed individual equipment manuals into the FrameMaker document and subsequent PDF output file so the users can make full use of all content within the embed PDF (i.e. open the document in a separate window) from the published PDF file.  I found help information which suggested I could use the Import File with an icon which will be selectable, but FrameMaker 2022 doesn't give me this option.  Only to pick one of the pages.  

I have 600+ fm files that I want to save as a pdf. They are all in the same directory. This is the script I started with (though I currently have Frankencode doing other stuff that was added between me and things suggested by Claudet/Gemini/etc).#target framemaker (function () { // --- CONFIG --- var PDF_SETTINGS_NAME = ""; // Leave empty "" to use the document's default PDF settings // Or put the name of a PDF setup, e.g. "High Quality Print" // ---------------- function log(msg) { $.writeln(msg); var oFile = new File ("C:/Catalog/output/run.log" ); oFile.open("a"); oFile.writeln(msg); oFile.close(); } function saveAsPdf(doc, savePath) { // Get default save parameters var params = GetSaveDefaultParams(); var i; // Set the file type to PDF i = GetPropIndex(params, Constants.FS_FileType); params[i].propVal.ival = Constants.FV_SaveFmtPdf; // Optional: Co

Since yesterday I have not been able to open book files. Whenever I try, the program shuts down with an error. The other files open without problems.Has anybody else experienced this problem?I installed the latest patch, but this did not help.Thank you for your help!

I created a TOC yeasterday for a book with 12 chapters. Everting we fine in creating it. It sits at the top of my list and looks like it is attached. WHen I open the book and open all the chapters I get a error message the TOC does not exist. I can go int to my file and there it is and I can open it. I delete the file from the book, open it to check it and reattach it to the book. Save the book, close all the file, go to reopen and again the file does not exist. 

It's 2025 and this "correct" advice no longer works. installed, repaired, uninstalled and re-installed. No. Does not work. 

In several DITA-topics I've defined some <indexterm> elements: <indexterm>LEV1 <indexterm>LEV2 <indexterm>LEV3</indexterm> </indexterm> </indexterm> But sometimes, when saving a file, I get: <indexterm start=";;;"></indexterm> What am I doing wrong?

Hello:I am running into a repeated issue where publishing a structured document (DITA 1.3 Map with Topic files) causes FM to crash when "Save PDF via Book with components route" selected. It does not matter if none or all of the options are selected, the app crashes. However, the DITA map successfully publishes to PDF if "Save PDF via..." is not selected. The issue also occurs when trying to save the map as a Book 2022 with fm components. Any ideas on what may be causing this? I am using FM 17.0.8, Windows, and working with very basic DITA Topic files to test this out (they each have a single title and no graphics). So far, I have tried the following trouble-shooting steps:Remove all graphics.Import a Word document to DITA and then publish.Create a very basic ditamap with two one-liner (<TITLE> and single <P>) dita files mapped to it.Individually select the Save PDF via Book with Components Route options on and off to see if one of them is the culprit (none, indiv

FM 2022 (17.0.6.798)Structured I have a table footnote on a landscape page. In FM, when I view the page, the text for the table footnote appears correctly: When I rotate the page to work on it, it also appears correctly: However, when I Save as PDF/Publish to PDF, the text on the footnote is rotated: I've not used table footnotes before, but this behaviour seems a little odd to me. Any suggestions/thoughts?

I have a huge document which consists of 4 merged documents. When creating a chm-file of this I had the 4 sub-documents at top level, and then each sub-document had its chapter at the next level.But after upgrading FrameMaker this structure has been flattened, all of the chapters now are at top level.How do I get back to the previous structure. which I had using FM2019?

Hi, I am structuring my documents using a conversion table and an EDD. After I apply paragraph formats in the structured document, FM removes them from some paragraphs when I switch between conditional texts. When this happens, FM applies its standard format called Body to these unfortunate paragraphs. I cannot identify any pattern in which paragraphs are infected by this problem. It happens to paragraphs with and without conditional text, and body text as well as headings. The EDD has no rule that forces FM to use the Body format on any paragraphs. I have made some fruitless attempts to keep my relative sanity: - Delete and recreate the paragraphs before structuring. - Delete and recreate the paragraphs after structuring. - Remove the conditional tag before structuring and apply it afterward. Thanks in advance!

Hello.As the subject of my post explains: I'm not only learning FM, but I inherited a project created in an older version of FM. (I usually am using the basics of RH to create webHelp.) Is there anyone out there willing to help me understand - at the very least:-interpret the existing Master Pages? (they don't seem to resemble what Ms. Binder's Master Pages look like in her hour long videos.)-understand how to fix the errors in the ErrorBookLog I ran? 

FrameMaker 2022 cannot find the Acrobat printer.Everytime i try to save as PDF it throws this error "Framemaker could not find Adobe PDF printer instance, which must be installed to execute Save as PDF".I tried reinstalling "Adobe Acrobat Reader" but still it wouldnt install the Adobe PDF printer and i could find the AdobePDF.inf file to manually configure the printer."Save as PDF" was working fine on FrameMaker 2017 was working fine and facing the problem since moving to FrameMaker 2022.

After upgrading to FM2022 I can't get the document title in the window header, I only get the file name there. I have not checked "Always use filename as document title" in Acrobat Reader, and older pdf's display the correct document title.

My master pages CHG1, CHG2, etc are not being applied to my doc when adding the "rev" attribute to table entry elements. The master pages are applied to the doc when adding the rev attribute to any other element - the only issue is with .  As you see in the MasterPageMap table below, the mapping info for the element is entered in the same way as the other elements, but still the master pages are not applied to the pages with revised table entries. Why might this be happening?

My serial number is accepted, and when I try to activate the software, it says I need to connect to the internet and try again (I am already connected) or activate the software offline with a response code & my new Frame 11 serial number.  I have been using FrameMaker since version 3, and currently I have been using Frame 10 for some time. I have a FrameMaker 11 upgrade that requires a response code to activate the software.  Can I still activate the Frame 11 software? 

I would like to be able to work with this type of rulings in tables (and everywhere else, actually). Asymmetric double ruling lines. As of now we can only have double ruling lines which have the same width, but asymmetric lines would be nice. Please give my feature request a vote! https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/FRMAKER-16108    

Can someone help me or share their experience on how to solve this issue? I’m trying to cancel my subscription but it won’t let me. Has anyone encountered this before or knows what I should do?

Looks so simple, but... can I create this kind of double line in FrameMaker table editor? A thick outer line with a thinner innerline. I have fiddlede around with creating custom line widths/patterns, but I can only make lines that an equal width. Can I somehow modify them?
