I have had licensed copies of Framemaker for many years and followed by the Technical Communications Suite.  I still use the Acrobat Pro component but none of the others.  Can thee be individually uninstalled by using the Windows Programs window?

 

My system is Windows 7 x64.

 

Thank you

Problems with ObjectValid ()

$

Dear experts,

In my scripts I have this snippet:

var tLoc2, fRange, j, thisMarker, thisId, thatId;
//...
for (j = 0; j < markerRange.length; j++)        // loop should not be necessary due to findparms
{ 
var oTextItem = markerRange[j]; 
thisMarker = oTextItem.obj;                   // should contain only one marker
} 
if (!thisMarker.ObjectValid()) {
Alert ("IndexNearestMarker does not find a " + sMarkerName + " marker after the cursor location, first marker used");
thisMarker =  markerArray[0];
}
thisId = thisMarker.Unique;

Although thisMarker shows all expected properties, and in the document the found marker is already selected, line 8 reports "thisMarker is undefined".

Replacing line 8 with this

if (!oTextItem.obj.ObjectValid()) {

the sript runs and line 12 does not create a problem at all !

 

What is wrong with the original line 86?

Font used for symbols associated with cross ref markers?

$
0
0

We recently got new laptops and upgraded to FM13 from FM 11. I noticed 1's or 6's that are where I'd expect to see cross reference source markers. Since I couldn't manually delete them, but they would disappear if I turned off the text symbols option, I'm guessing those numbers are displayed instead of the expected symbols because I'm missing a font.

 

Does anyone know what font Adobe uses form its cross-reference markers?

 

Thanks!

Is this correct for undo/redo operations in FDK?

$
0
0

I would like someone to assure me that the following way is the correct one:

 

 

In the beginning I enable FDK Undo recording with :

 

 

F_ApiSetInt(FV_SessionId, FV_SessionId, FP_UndoFDKRecording, True);

 

 

And later on at some point I do:

 

 

F_ApiUndoStartCheckPoint(docId, ConStringT("Replacements"));

 

 

// .. replacements ..

 

 

F_ApiUndoEndCheckPoint(docId);

 

 

Is this enough?

Trying to open existing documents for editing freezing FrameMaker

Hello all,

 

How do I fix this issue? I can create new documents, and locked documents I can open in "view only", but I can't (locked or unlocked) fully open for editing any documents. I have a subscription for the tech suite, so I'm on the newest version of FM. Am I just going to have to uninstall/reinstall?

 

Thanks in advance.

Pro won't start

I attempted to open Pro and it tells me I have a problem.  Pro tells me I need to uninstall and reinstall Pro, or get a hold of IT department, or customer service.  The first time we installed Pro the IT department had to install the program so I don't know what the problem is now.

Fonts change when Compiling

$

I have two users that have the same issue with fonts changing when being saved as a PDF and when compiling multiple files into one pdf book.  One of the users has was not able to save or print a file to Adobe DC without the font causing an issue.  He could however Print to Cute PDF without issue, but in doing so, he was then not able to compile that book since one of the files was made with CutePDF.

 

Is there a simple solution that I am missing, where additional fonts need to be installed?  Could this be a single "shared" pdf document that is the cause of the issue?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.


How does Frame 2015 relate to RoboHelp 2015?

$
0
0

We have an online help system of no more than 100 topics. They were written in Word and put into a homegrown help system.

 

Now we can go to a webhelp output of some kind, and I've shown my manager some DHTML effects like drop-down text.

 

I see that FrameMaker 2015 outputs to HTML5, but I haven't found a way to insert expanding text or drop-down text . . . Is there a way?

 

I briefly thought may be we could do without RH, but that seems so unlikely from a business sense, I must be wrong. What is the relationship between the two tools?

 

Thanks

With RGB setting, I am able to create PDF for a document of 750 pages. But, with CMYK setting the Adobe distiller shows the error as below:


%%[ Error: undefined; OffendingCommand: ct_T3HdrDict ]%%

%%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%

%%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%

 

no pdf gets generated. Why does it happen?

I am using FM12 and document is of 750 pages. The images are done using framemaker tools only.

Please let me know the solutions.

FM 12 chapter numbering issue

$
0
0

In FM 12, I have this book:

The Section1 and Section2 files are new to the book. Ever since I added them, both Chapter 1 (ch01.fm) and Chapter 2 (ch02.fm) generate/update as Chapter 1:

 

Subsequent chapters after Chapter 2 are numbered consecutively, but they're all off by 1 (ch03.fm is Chapter 2 ... ch06.fm is Chapter 5).

 

If I remove the section files from the book, the chapter numbers generate correctly. If I move Section 1 before Chapter 1, the chapter numbers generate correctly. So the issue appears to have something to do with inserting Section 1 in between chapters 1 and 2.

 

Chapters 2 and 5 both appear after a section file. The numbering properties are set identically on all tabs in both files. Yet chapter 2 restarts chapter numbering and chapter 5 continues numbering from the chapter before it. Any idea why? I can't figure it out.

 

Thanks,

Hi together,

 

Is it possible to save FM2015 documents in MIF 9, 10 or 11?

 

Für den Export in unsere Übersetzungssoftware ist es erforderlich, Dokumente in diese Formate abzuspeichern. Leider bietet FM2015 das nicht an. Wie kann das gelöst werden?

 

 

 

Danke und viele Grüße

thanks and Kind regards

Debugging callback functions

$
0
0

Am I right with my observations?

Ordinary (not named) callback functions are all listed as (for example) onClick() in the Functions pane of ESTK. In addition local variables in these functions are not listed in the Data Browser. Hence IMHO debugging is not possible.

So I tried the method with named callback functions which avoids both drawbacks:

Unnamed callback functionsNamed callback functions
myDlg.btn2.onClick = function() {  $.bp(true);  aLocal = "gugus";  if (this.text == 'Disable Him') {    this.text = 'Enable Him';    myDlg.btn1.enabled = false;  } else {    this.text = 'Disable Him';    myDlg.btn1.enabled = true;  }
}
myDlg.btn2.onClick = ActButton2;
// ...
function ActButton2 () {
$.bp (true);  var aLocal = "gugus";  if (this.text == 'Disable Him') {    this.text = 'Enable Him';    myDlg.btn1.enabled = false;  } else {    this.text = 'Disable Him';    myDlg.btn1.enabled = true;  }
}
variable aLocal is not listed in Data Browservariable aLocal is listed in Data Browser
All functions are named onClick in the Functions paneFunctions have distinct names in the Functions pane
callback functions are within the window functioncallback functions (are) / (may be) outside the window function

 

Of course the names for the named callback functions must be unique for the whole script.


Deleting an XML object

$

Hi all,

 

I've been having a bit of trouble deleting XML objects with ExtendScript's native delete() function. Basically I have an XML object being passed into a function like this:

 

makeChanges(XMLObj, XMLObj.child1);
makeChanges(XMLObj, XMLObj.child2);
makeChanges(XMLObj, XMLObj.child3);

function makeChanges(object, element)
{
     if (condition)          delete element;
}

 

However, the child element is not deleted, I suspect because the "element" variable reference is still active. If the code is changed to explicitly delete the object like so:

 

     if (condition)          delete object.child1

 

then everything works just fine, but I make quite a few calls to this function and would like the code to be re-usable if possible. I know JavaScript has a removeChild() function for XML, but does anyone know if there's an ExtendScript workaround? I've looked through the documentation and haven't seen much, so any input is greatly appreciated.

Seit Update 13.0.3.1 funktioniert das Inhaltsverzeichnis erstellen nicht mehr.

Mit dem aktuellen update funktioniert das Erstellen eines eigenständigen Inhaltsverzeichnis nicht mehr. Das erzeugte Dokument hat keinen Inhalt. Mit älteren Dokumenten (ebenfalls mit FM 2015 erstellt) funktioniert es auch nicht mehr. Es liegt also nicht an der Formatierung des Dokuments.

Ich habe jetzt alles Deinstalliert und beginne mit der Ur-Version neu. In der Version funktioniert es wieder einwandfrei.

Werde jetzt die einzelnen Updates bis auf das Letzte ebenfalls installieren.

 

Ist dieses Problem auch bei anderen Usern aufgetreten. Ich arbeite unter Windows 7 (64 bit).

 

Der deutsche Support konnte mir leider nicht weiterhelfen. In der Release-Note zum update 13.0.3.1 konnte ich allerdings nachlesen, dass genau an dieser Stelle im Programm "rumgefingert" wurde.

 

@Adobe: bitte prüfen und ggf. korrigieren

How to detect change of document ?

$
0
0

Dear friends and experts,

It seems obvious that with my new project I have opened the box of Pandora...

Palettes stay open even when setting a new cursor location, hence I use this for my dialogue.

But the user can also switch to another document while the palette is open.

Currently I have a button Refresh and the user is urged to use it after switching to another document. The function behind is to analyse the newly entered document and define global variables, update the dialogue.

How could I detect the switch of the document ? I have not found something like onDocumentChange.

(In the current script a check for changed document name is in the btnRefresh.onClick function to avoid irrelevant work).

 

Thank You for any ideas.

FM 12 book does not show generated Table of Contents

$
0
0

I opened my FrameMaker 12 book, and then used Open all files in book. The table of contents is included in the open files, but does not show up in the book (and is left out of my PDF). I cannot Add the toc file, because it says it is already in the book. I could delete and regenerate, but I've done this a several times and I would like to solve the issue. I don't understand why the table of contents (file reference) disappeared from the book, although the file is open and obviously associated with the book.

"Colons are not allowed in this name when namespaces are enabled"

FM11. DITA 1.2.

 

I am processing translated XML files that I recently received from the translator. Some of them open just fine, but when I save them, or reopen them after saving I get this message:

 

XML Parser Messages (Document Instance)

Error at file C:\foo.xml, line 22, char 77, Message: Colons are not allowed in this name when namespaces are enabled

Parse error at line 22, char 75: Not well-formed (invalid token)

Parsing aborted.

 

The problem is here:

 

<dita xmlns:ditaarch = "http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"><?Fm: BoolCondExpr"" State 0?>

 

See that colon in <?Fm: "BoolCondExpr"" State 0?> ? That's what's tripping me up. It's not in the file when I opened it originally, and the file opened just fine. I see this on save and then the file won't open.

 

Now I have to open the file in a text editor and get the colon out, before FM will open it again. This happens every time I open the file.

 

Where is this coming from???  It seems to happen only with the files I get from the translators. I've looked through read/write rules but I can't find it.

 

Any ideas? If I can't fix it, is there something I can just turn off to make this stop happening?
