internal error on opening files

Hi.

I've been typesetting a book in FrameMaker. I haven't worked on it for a couple of months, and have since upgraded to FM 2017 - although the same issue is a problem in FM11.

The book was saved to OneDrive, and I've been working in my local folder mapped to OneDrive throughout. Now, I can open the .book file - and FM warns me it was created in an older version of FM. I save it and all is fine BUT as soon as I try to open any of the chapters within the book, I get an internal error. I've tried opening them FROM the book and as separate files. I've tried opening them in FM 2017 and in FM11. In the former, it warns me they were created in an earlier version, but doesn't get as far as opening them (so it's obviously getting as far as finding the version details). In the latter, it crashes straight away.

I can open other documents in either version of FM with no problem - but it's EVERY file in this particular book, and the only thing they have in common is that they are synced to OneDrive (although I can't for the life of me see why that would be a problem).

Does anyone have any suggestions, as I really don't want to have to manually key all 15 chapters in again.

Thanks in advance,

Alison

Hi all,

I have a client running on of my ExtendScript scripts on a 3000 x 2000 display and he says that the ScriptUI dialog boxes display very small. The script runs in Adobe FrameMaker so I am not sure if this is a function of the target application or ScriptUI in general. Are there any know issues with ScriptUI dialogs and hi-res monitors? Thank you very much.

How do I use a TOC as the cover page for a chapter (the template for a folder in a hierarchical book)?

≫ Next: Is There a Way to Skip Numbering Blank Pages?

≪ Previous: ScriptUI and Hi-Res Displays

We create separate TOCs for each chapter in our manuals. Some documents are used in different chapters in different books therefore I want to be able to use the folder name in the hierarchical book to populate the title in the TOC (by using <$chaptertitlename>) for that chapter. However, in order to set that file as the template for that chapter's folder, I have to remove it from the book first and then set it as the template. In this process I lose the link between the TOC and the book and my TOC no longer updates with the rest of the book. Is there any way to relink the TOC after it's been removed from the book and set as the template (or prevent the link from being lost entirely)?

Thanks for your time,

Is there a way to prevent the blank pages (that are automatically inserted at the end of documents) from "counting" in the page numbering process?

Unexpected formating after conditional tag

≫ Next: paragraph inside a textinset

≪ Previous: Is There a Way to Skip Numbering Blank Pages?

Hello

I am more or less new to Framemaker, but i try my best.

i am writing at the moment a standard for our manuals. I use the conditional tags to set the complete Manual in different Languages.

Like one Tag with Englisch and one Tag with German and so on...

When I set a Tag to a table then the table gets these cross borders. like this (thid id just an example)

Normaly this border isnt visible when i publish the manual but unfortunatly at the las page it is visible. and not only this. the same happens with a grafic border.

normaly you dont even see a black border.

Does anybody know what the reason for this is?

Thanks for your help

Marcel

BTW before Framemaker is used Word for all our manuals but it just takes to much time...

Is there any (hidden) property, that can tell me?

RHFrameMaker12.dll error message on opening FrameMaker

≪ Previous: paragraph inside a textinset

Hi,

One of my team has just installed FrameMaker 2017 and has installed the latest update. Whenever they open FrameMaker, they get the following error:

Cannot initialize API client c:\program files
(x86)\adobe\adobe framemaker 2017\fminit\plugins\RHFrameMakerServer12.dll.

Check for errors in the APIClients section of the maker.ini
file in FrameMaker install location or your %appdata% folder, verify that the
client program exists, and make sure you have enough swap space to run the
client.

Any ideas as to how to resolve/prevent this?

I have looked in the maker.ini and the referenced dll is not referenced.

Thanks

Tables with conditions not showing in HTML5 output

≪ Previous: RHFrameMaker12.dll error message on opening FrameMaker

I have a single source FM2017 project that uses several conditions. There are tables that have one or two conditions assigned to them, depending on the output variant(s) they should appear in. The conditions are assigned to the anchors, which works fine for PDF. But in HTML5 output the tables don't show up. I have also tried assigning the conditions to the table cells/rows/columns instead of the anchor or in addition to it -- no success.

One thing I noticed is that when the table does not show, the HTML contains a paragraph with the class of the anchor (t_tabelle_anker):

When the table does show, the table has content (t_tabelle_kopf) and the anchor does not appear:

Has anyone experienced this behavior when working with XRef's? When I insert an Xref or open a map that has Xref content the initial Cross Reference menu displays, when I click External Xref button FrameMaker begins to cycle with no response, then I get an Authentication prompt, when I click Cancel it continues to cycle for some time until it finally shows the DITA External Xref screen. This behavior only happens when I initially open the application, after its been opened and cycles once I can insert Xref as usual.

FrameMaker 2015 crashing on one file

≫ Next: Hyphen in HTML link created from cross reference

≪ Previous: Xref or Linked Maps

Hello, all.

I'm using FrameMaker 2015 in a Windows 10 environment.

Since yesterday, FM has been crashing repeatedly and consistently when it reaches Appendix A in a book file that I am publishing to HTML Help (.chm). I have successfully published this 275-page file, and the entire 570-page book file, to .chm many times over many months.

The problem does not appear to be the Appendix A file. My coworker just published it to HTML Help successfully. Therefore, the problem must be with some aspect of my FM installation or setup. Why would it suddenly choke on a file that it has processed, with no problem, for months?

All suggestions gratefully received.

Hyphen in HTML link created from cross reference

≫ Next: Ctrl+Mouse Wheel undocks windows

≪ Previous: FrameMaker 2015 crashing on one file

In my FM2017 document there is a cross reference to text in a table column which has a hyphen in it.

Example:

column 1 | column 2

--------------------

some loo- | ...

oong text | ...

The cross reference in FM looks correct, with no hyphen if the line is long enough.

Example:

see "some loooong text" on page 123

In the generated HTML5, however, the hyphen shows in the original position, although it is unnecessary here.

Example:

some loo-oong text

This effect occurs both with an automatically inserted hyphen (by FM itself) and with a soft hyphen (CTRL + hyphen). Any ideas what else I could try?

I've noticed that when I have a document open and docked to the UI, whenever I use Ctrl + Mouse Wheel to zoom, it undocks the window and I have to redock it. Is this a known issue or something wrong with my install of FrameMaker 2017?
