I'm using FM 2017 to publish structured XML files to HTML5 files. But for Slovakian, Ukrainian and Serbin-Latin, I cannot find the languages in the language drop-down list. Is there any method to add the three languages? Really appreciate your sharing. Thanks!
Tried printing today from FM to Xerox WorkCentre 70225, and got an error message saying it was incompatible. Has anyone else seen that?Is it merely some weird one-off with this printer model?
Thanks!

There must be a way to do this, and maybe I'm just brain dead today...
I have heading tags that I would like to be underlined.
But I don't want the underline under the text only. I want the underline to go all the way from the left margin to the right margin. Like I show below:
This is a heading with the underline extending to the right margin.
I remain,

Hi,
How to find 5 digits value with comma (10,000) and replace 5 digits with dot (10.000) and space (10 000) using wildcard for framemaker using extendscript ? Please suggests if any ideas.
Thank You.
I have several conditional text tags in several documents that I use in different books.
When I am editing I like to have the conditional text a different colour so I can easily see where it is and if it is applied correctly
But how can I change the colour of all the text of a tag in all the documents in a book in one go instead of in each document?

is there a way of getting a paragraph tag to make initial significant letters capitalized?
Hi,
I came across a file where <Unconditinal > tag is placed within a <TextLine> tag. According to the MIF Reference, this should not happen as it states the following:
The Conditional statement marks the beginning of conditional text and the Unconditional statement marks the
end. These statements must appear in a Row or ParaLine statement.
Should this file be considered a valid file? Framemaker 2015 renders it without any errors.
Here's the TextLine statement from the file:
<TextLine
<Unique 1176854>
<TLOrigin 1.0" 0.4489">
<TLAlignment Left>
<TLDirection INHERITLTR>
<Font
<FTag `'>

After last windows 8.1 patch, FrameMaker 11 crashes when trying to use command "Save to PDF".
When printing to PostScript file, distiller gets "Undefined error"
Printing to XPS works fine.
I have an unstructured FrameMaker document with a trouble shooting guide made with a table. Three columns: Fault - Probable Causes and Control/remedy.
I am publishing the document as an app and while I can make the table show up fine in the app, I would like to have the trouble shooting guide work in a more dynamic manner. "Something" with being able to click on the fault and being presented with a list of selectable probable causes from which you can click to the controls/remedies.
Would anybody have some inspiration to how I can make markup in the document to enable "something" like that? I have been experimenting with cross references, but can't really figure something out.
Best regards

Are there any tools to import IDML into Framemaker?
At long last, FrameMaker is 64-bit, with a new PDF engine (and in the Publish pod, colored icons, and a smoother UI.

I'm having the same problem. I added several sections to my chapter, but the mini TOC won't update. I tried deleting the TOC and creating a new one. This removed all the formatting. When I tried to add back the paragraph style, it won't let me select part of the TOC, just the whole thing. I want the first and last entry to be different. Is there a way to select just one line of the TOC?
I'm getting FrameMaker 2019 availability notifications. I have a TCS Suite, which has FM 2017 installed. Under "Help" the update option is greyed out.
How do I update the existing FM 2017 to FM 2019?
Test driving the new version of FM and am happy to see that the colored icons are back. Tried printing to PDF and my white logos turned black in the output. However, saving as PDF works just fine. Any thoughts?
Hi,
I am trying to use Framemaker 2017 to edit s1000d data modules that were originally created in a different program. When we use the WYSIWYG view to edit and make pdfs, Framemaker re-structures portions of the document with it's own tags, such as <fm.graphic>, <fm.title>. I'm assuming this is from using the built-in structured applications (such as S1000D_description_401, etc.) to compose the document.
However, the xml file is now useless to us, as these "fm" tags cannot be read in our customer's CSDB. Unfortunately we had done significant work on the files before realizing this.
Is there an easy way to export a "clean" xml file from Framemaker without the "fm" tags? Or perhaps to un-apply the structured application?
Thanks!

In FM 2017 there was an option to choose RGB or CMYK in the PDF Settings. I can't find this setting in FM 2019 and my documents appear to be output as CMYK as the colours no longer look correct. The same file output as PDF from FM2017 with the option set to RGB looks correct in terms of the colour space.
Hallo Framemaker-Community,
Ich habe einen neuen Laptop von meinem Auftraggeber bekommen und musste alles neu installieren.
Es funktioniert auch alles bis auf die Joboptions.
Ich hab das File an die 2 wichtigen Stellen kopiert....das auch noch funktioniert. Framemaker erkennt im Menü des pdfs Erstellen das File auch.
Aber wenn ich auf "zuweisen" also erstellen des pdfs klicke kommt "Die ausgewählte pdf-Auftragsoption ist bin der aktuellen Installation nicht verfügbar. Erstellen Sie eine entsprechende Auftragsoption oder wählen Sie eine verfügbare."
Wenn ich den CMYK-Farben in RGB konvertieren Haken setze erzeugt er mir gar kein pdf, wenn ich ihn nicht setze erzeugt er mir ein pdf, aber mit falschen Farben.
Kann jemand helfen?
Grüße und Dank
I have a collection of documents in PDF that are used to build a library of technical manuals. I would like to retain the look and feel of these manuals but edit them in FrameMaker. Is this possible? If so how do I do it?
