I'm a long term FrameMaker (11) user, but completely new to scripting.
Can someone help me make a script that will set the alignment for all anchored frames in a document to "Left"?
Can someone help me make a script that will set the positioning for all anchored frames in a document to "Below current line"?
When I adjust a paragraph format in a File we'll call "Original," and then import that style into other files in my book, unrelated formats are losing their settings. For example, my simplest format (Body) just suddenly changed from 10 pt to 12 pt. Is anyone else having this issue??? I've probably lost a week of time re-doing formats. I am selecting the file to import from VERY carefully, and know the formats are correct there because when I pull that file back up all is well. Any help is GREATLY appreciated!!!!!!
So for example, my "Original" file still has Body as 10pt.
Other types of formatting lost:
- indented styles lose their indenting
- bulleted styles lose their special bullets
The names of the styles are still present and correct in all files, but the formatting itself is changing for reasons that I cannot identify.
I have never had this issue with FM before - and it's killing me. Just applied the latest update and it is still happening.

Using a Wildcard search, how do you find numbers with a period. Like 111.22 or 1.33 or 334566.9877665?
Dear experts,
From a palette i need to divert into a dialgoue and then come back into the palette.
This works fine for the first time i enter the dialogue. The dialogue fails when entered the second time.
A stripped down version of my scripts is following. The palette is to the left, the 'test' dialogue to the right:
What may be wrong here?
// NestedDialogue.jsx
#target framemaker
// target needed for Alert ...
var gsVariable;
var wPalDS = new Window('palette',"FM-calc : Manage Variables",undefined);
var wPalV = new Window('dialog', "FM-calc : Check contents of variable", undefined);
PaletteDocSettings();
// ================================================================================================
function PaletteDocSettings(){ //=== Outer function
wPalDS.sVarValue = wPalDS.add('edittext',undefined,"Content to be handled", {multiline:true}); wPalDS.sVarValue.alignment = ['right',' ']; wPalDS.cbChkContent = wPalDS.add('checkbox',undefined,"Use secondary dialogue"); wPalDS.btnAdd = wPalDS.add('button',undefined,"Handle content"); wPalDS.Cancel = wPalDS.add('button',undefined,"Cancel"); wPalDS.Cancel.onClick = function () { wPalDS.close(); } wPalDS.btnAdd.onClick = ButtonAddVarConst; // externalised callback function! wPalDS.show();
} //--- end PaletteDocSettings
function ButtonAddVarConst () {
var bContinue, content;
// $.bp(true);
content = wPalDS.sVarValue.text; if (wPalDS.cbChkContent.value) { // check contents gsVariable = "=" + content; DialogueVerify(); // Inner function bContinue = wPalV.btnReturn.enabled; if (!bContinue) { if (Alert ("Test failed, continue anyway?", Constants.FF_ALERT_NO_DEFAULT) != 0) { wPalDS.cbChkContent.value = false; // uncheck return; // user clicked NO } } content = gsVariable.substring (1); // skip the = sign wPalDS.sVarValue.text = content; }
} //--- end ButtonAddVarConst
function DialogueVerify(){ //=== Dialogue for verifying variable contents
wPalV.st1 = wPalV.add('statictext',undefined,"Content to check"); wPalV.st1.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont(wPalV.st1.graphics.font.family,"BOLD",wPalV.st1.graphics.font.size); wPalV.btnReturn = wPalV.add('button',undefined,"OK / Return"); wPalV.btnReturn.helpTip = "Return to calling dialogue"; wPalV.Cancel = wPalV.add('button',undefined,"Cancel"); wPalV.Cancel.alignment = ['right',' ']; wPalV.btnReturn.onClick = ButtonReturnV; // externalised callback function! wPalV.Cancel.onClick = function () { wPalV.close(); } wPalV.btnReturn.enabled = false; // test situation 1 (using Cancel to exit)
//wPalV.btnReturn.enabled = true; // test situation 2 (using this button to exit) wPalV.show();
}
function ButtonReturnV () {
wPalV.close();
} //--- end ButtonReturnVAny ideas are welcome ...
I'd like to implement my own FrameMaker theme for HTML5 output to allow customized things like e.g. off-canvas menus.
Are there any great resources? I've spend a few days on a research but everything I found are page templates.
Hello.
When I view a graphic in Illustrator, the blue colors are cool, shading to grey. When I import that exact .ai file into FrameMaker, they turn almost aquamarine, very light and bright. Why did this happen and how can I fix it?
Thanks!
We reuse chunks of content and these chunks are each appearing at the top of a separate PDF page instead of following the chunk before it on the same page.
Can I Install FrameMaker 2015 32 bit software in a 64 bit computer?
I have a document (well, many documents) that includes print-quality images.
When publishing to html5, the images are downsampled into jpgs (that's fine), but the quality is not as good as when I create my own lower-res JPGs of the images.
So... where I have an anchored frame with a high-res image, I put it in a 'print only' conditional tag, make a copy on the next line and put the low-res image into *that* frame with an 'html only' conditional tag.
Some of these frames are in indented paragraphs, some are not. I want the frames to follow the indentation level. I found that I needed to set the frame to be 'At Insertion Point' (if I used 'Below Current Line', I had to use specify alignment (left / right/ closest to binding/ farthest from binding), which are not appropriate).
However, when I mark the paragraph (with the frame) as conditional ('html only') and publish, the image *right justifies* on the web page instead of left justifying at the indentation point (e.g. on a non-indented paragraph format, image should align at left edge of text frame. On an indented paragraph format, image should align at the left indentation point).
Am I misunderstanding how to do this? Any solutions?
Thanks.
Having other issues and suggestion was made to check for updates.
Yep, update 5 is available.
Tried to install -- got error U44M1P6.
I'm assuming 13.0.0.333 (what I have currently) is the result of update 4, but am not sure.
Only suggestion I've seen is to reinstall FrameMaker and install update(s) again.
Is that the only solution, or have I missed something?
Thanks.
Our team has attempted to create a Relationship Table based on documents that are located on our SharePoint site. When we create the HRef using the SharePoint URL, it asks for credentials (username and password) and when we enter our Win based credentials it will not accept it. When we cancel, the URL appears in the Relationship Table, but when we close and reopen the file it disappears.
In the Paragraph Designer (Default Font property group), in the Paragraph Tag field, I have a paragraph format, Heading3C.
However, this Paragraph format does not show up in the Paragraph Catalog, even when the "Show All" option is selected.
How can this be the case? How can I have a "Heading3C" paragraph format tag without it showing up in the Paragraph Catalog?
Note: I do see a "Heading3" Paragraph tag in the Paragraph Catalog, but not the "Heading3C", if this is of any significance. I'm baffled.
Any body know how this can be the case?
Thanks.
Hello,
I'm using FM12 with structured docs. I'm looking to convert some Framescript into Extendscript language.
I finish my first Extendscript this morning (too me 3 days) : searching Element and saving the attributes value into a text file.
But I'm stuck converting my second one.
In a strutured doc, i want to wrap a selected text with a element "PRESS" into a element "PARA" (the element PRESS is allowed in the element PARA by the DTD/EDD).
My Framescript (FS 6.0)
Set vCurrentDoc = ActiveDoc;
Set vSelect = vCurrentDoc.TextSelection;
// Get the Element Def
Get Object NewVar(vEltDef) Type(ElementDef) Name('PRESS');
// Wrap the selected text
Wrap ElementDef(vEltDef);
// Select the new PRESS element
Set vPRESS = ElementSelection.begin.child;
// Create the attribs
New AttributeList NewVar(vPRESSatt) AttrName('SMALLCAPS') Value('1');
// Assign the Attributes to the tag
Set vPRESS.Attributes = vPRESSatt;
In Extendscript, how do i write it?
var vCurrentDoc = app.ActiveDoc;
var vSelect = vCurrentDoc.TextSelection;
// from here, i'm lost I can't wrap a text with the element i want.
Many thanks for considering my request.
how can I make the snap grid to be coarser or finer than the default?
In FrameMaker 15, I am publishing a Responsive HTML5 output. When the output generates, it adds an extra book level. So, if I want to view my topic called introduction, I have to select the Introduction folder, then the topic for Introduction. Is there a way to remove having to select the unnecessary folder? Each framemaker file should display as its own topic in the html5 file.
In the Layout Customization window:
Thanks!

My company has just updated FrameMaker from version 12 to 2015. I installed the new software but it doesn't recognize the licence.
We spoke with Adobe support: they spoke about a bug and they are working on it. In the meantime we can use the 30 days trial version.
OK, better than nothing.
Start the the trial version: it crashes!
-------------
Internal Error 12044, 24415924, 24416218, 27360613. FrameMaker has detected a serious problem and must quit.
.....
----------
Well... lets work on version 12. Now it crashes in the same way!
The same even FrameMaker 11...
Panic!
Any suggestion?
