Framemaker15-how to change logo on the reference page

0
0

Hello forum.

i am a new user of framemaker since may2017. I have little skill  with VBA and javascript but not professionnal  .

with my new job i receive every month documentantion from manufacturer and we custumize them.

So each month we copy the manufacturer file with new template and import them in our books.

but before importing i have to swap the manufacturer logo of the book by my compagny logo and some more minor modifications.

as this task is repetitive i think i could do it with extendscript

i send a zip file on adobe cloud with  a sample framemaker book i made and the script i wrote during the last 2 weeks with tips i found on internet.

the script open all files in a folder  and that all. i didin't find anything about how to change logo on the reference page

FOR THE MAIN PROBLEM i need your help to swap the logo. i put in the zip file à new sample logo for the test.

if you have 5 minutes more but not necessary if your time is precious you can answer to the 3 minor questions about access and modification to the copyrignt and how to change a variable (see inside the script).

As you can see english is not my native language i hope you will understand my problem.

best regards from France

Graphic Placement

0
0

FM2015,Win7, Newbie to FM.   The requirement is to place a graphic on each odd page with a description/discussion on the facing even page. Anchored frames move the graphics around and graphics anchored to the page won't auto-number in a disconnected text frame.  Tables for the graphic can be set to start at the top of the right page, but the text won't flow back. What am I missing here? What is the quickest, easiest way to accomplish this...I am rapidly getting further behind.

How to declare graphic entities?

0
0

I am using Frame 11 and saving structured book files to SGML to meet the ATA 2200 standard.

 

I have successfully converted several books but have not been able to map the graphic elements.

I would like to have a list of all the graphic images at the start of the SGML book.

 

I believe that this will require an Entity location to be specified in the Structured applications definition as well as a rule that points to the entity with the graphic's unique identifier, in this case a gnbr entity.

 

Can anyone help with the syntax for the entity location and the rule that points to it?

The book tree window is showing 3-4pt fonts after the latest update last week. Don't they test this stuff?

I can't get it to change back to normal (which is way to small too).

Framemaker 2017 - Is File > Import (list of open Frame files) gone?

0
0

Well I guess I have something to add to the list of things to test for next time we upgrade Framemaker.....

 

We manage much of our content using text insets.  We upgraded from Frame 12, where (and in every other version prior to that we've used text insets) you could go to File > Import and it would also list other open Framemaker files for an easy import into the main document.  Either my eyes are missing it, or is that feature gone?  That was always a huge timesaver in not having to go through as much of our network structure to easily import another Framemaker file as a text inset.

 

Is there a reason this was removed?  Is there a chance we can get it back???

Smart Paste Tutorial

Hi All,

 

I want to use Smart Paste to copy and paste a small snippet of XML content to my FrameMaker document. Is there a tutorial or some documentation available on the Smart Paste feature? I can look at the DITA Smart Paste stylesheets, but they are large and hard to decode. A small example that I can adapt to my use would be great. Thank you very much.

Is there a way to "Go Back" after using a cross-reference?

0
0

I'm writing some monster (500-1000 page) documents right now and using a ton of cross-references. This may be more of a PDF issue than a Frame issue, but is there a way to embed a button or funcitonthat allows users to "go back" after using a cross-reference? I find myself saying "Doh!" a lot when landing on page 17 and trying to remember which page in the 400s I came from. I imagine my audience will too.

 

Thanks a million, community, and happy weekend!

FM17 Taking too long to do anything

0
0

FM17 seems to go into a constant state of not responding when opening, closing, or manipulating files. I just selected a group of files to open and it decided to open files that I did not select. Please do an update soon as the software is unusable in its current state. It takes waaaaaay too long (5 min or longer) to open or close a group of more than 5 files.

 

And I agree with Jim Wiley, the interface is too small, doesn't scale properly on my laptop no matter what resolution I make the screen or using the Windows 10 troubleshooting wizard for compatibility.

Automating an update for all structured tables after adding a header row and renaming the element in the EDD

0
0

I use structured tables in my documents for information boxes. Recently, I've changed their structure, adding a header row, renaming the element, and using a different format tag. When I change the element in a document, it does so, but doesn't add a header row automatically (though does in part implement the new format tag) -- is there some way to do a global update of all information boxes (so that they include the newly created header row)?

Also, just to note the new style information boxes (again which are implemented as structured tables) are different elements to the old style information boxes (to solve some naming consistency issues). I was (perhaps naively) hoping that changing the old element names to the new element names would implement the formatting tags associated with the new elements over the old elements (and insert the header row)...

Is there a way to create a Figure Sheet X of X?

Is there a way to create a variable, or paragraph format for a figure caption that displays sheet X of X?  I need something to work similar to the Table Sheet variable.

When will Recent File list be increased to more than eight files?

0
0

This has been a restricted number for a very long time in FrameMaker, and the rest of the Windows world has left this number long ago. Is Adobe ever going to increase this value?

why aren't framemaker variables global?

0
0

Paragraph and character formats/tags are global (available/applied across all files in a book), so why on earth are variables not similarly global?

In a book with 25 files, and over a thousand pages, if I need a new variable or need to change a variable across all those files (such as with a page header that includes a version number), I have to go through EACH file and change/create that variable.

This is pure Madness! MADNESS I tell you!
