Please unpin this announcement, and announce the 17.0.6 version instead.

Are downloads still available for earlier versions of FrameMaker, like 2019?

Maybe only in your Adobe ID or volume licensing portal I suspect.

Are there any major updates planned for FrameMaker since it appears the last one was in 2022?

Generally, the updates are not annouched in advance by software companies, as it could legally obligate the company to a timeframe. Generally, they will just say a bug/feature is be addressed in the next update.

BTW, don' t depend on the Frame homescreen were it says "up to date". Always check the updates under the Help menu. It's more accurate.

Hi, I have installed 17.0.5.725 and the Structure > DITA > DITA options dialog is missing the checkbox option for "URI notation for paths". Without this checkbox, FM is inserting references in DITA content with the slashes in the wrong direction for URI notation. The checkbox itself is actually there, but the text is missing. Checking the checkbox (regardless of missing text) does not set the option.

There is also a gap in the same dialog where an option for Documentum (deprecated) used to be.

Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Whoops - I'd fire off an email to the FM folks - see the tcssup@adobe.com e-mail address as it reaches a team dedicated to Technical Communication Suite products including FrameMaker.

I have not yet installed the update. I just started FrameMaker 2022 and the welcome screen displayed

Current version 17.0.4 Up to date

I then opened a file and looked at the welcome screen again. The message at the top had changed to

Current version 17.0.4 Latest version 17.0.5

Clearly, the first version was misleading.

I've installed update 5 of FrameMaker September 2022 release 17.05.725

When I go to the File menu and choose Launch > RoboScreenCapture I get an error message stating there was a problem launching RoboScreen Capture.

Prior to updating to this version RoboScreenCapture launched ok.

I'm on a deadline to update some course materials and this is my screen capture tool of choice. Any help gratefully received.

I've installed update 5 of FrameMaker September 2022 release 17.05.725. I can no longer hold the SHIFT key and manage the whole book, for example Open All Files in Book. Is that funcitonality no longer available?
