I have a structured Framemaker document.  I pulled in a subsection of a chapter from version X into version Y of the document.   When doing this the object properties path of the images do not come in correctly.    Is there a work around that will not require a regeneration of the graphic element.


FrameMaker 12 problem Wordexport

0
0

We just noticed a major issue in the 'save as rtf' from FrameMaker 12.

The first printscreen is the FrameMaker-file where everything is looking fine.

When you see to the second printscreen (Word) you will notice that footnote number 8 from FrameMaker is located in the text and not as footnote.

Also the first paragraph after the footnote in Word is deleted (Art. 11...).

It's the second book we see this issue. Has anyone an explanation for this behavior?

 

PS. When we copy paste into another document and export the issue is gone, but we make thousands of books so it's unhandy to perform this copy paste action. Also it's creating other problems...

Font does not show the Bold weight in FrameMaker

FrameMaker version: 2017

 

I recently had to switch to a new font that my organization provided. When I use the font in Word or Robohelp, I am able to change the font style to Bold or Italics. But, the same is not happening in FrameMaker. I checked the properties for the FM paragraph format for which I am using the font, and the Weight for the font does not list Bold nor does the Angle list Italic. It only lists Light.

Any suggestions as to why this might be happening?

I just received some files from one of our offices overseas. When I try to open the files I get this warning message "appear to be a FrameMaker document, it can't be opend with this release of the product". Now I'm using 2015 version 13.0.2.433. Any one have any ideas?

Disabling caching for HTML files?

0
0

I have a online help file that I publish as a HTML5 file. When people access the help file, it caches. So, when we update the files, users do not see the updated files unless they clear the cache. Is there a way in FrameMaker to disable caching for HTML files?

 

I spoke to a developer who mentioned the metadata to add to each page is <meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate" />. Is there a way to add that to each topic automatically?

 

Thanks,

How to control how inline images affect text leading?

0
0

How can you import an image in the middle of a text line without forcing wider leading? We want to standardize the height of the image at a point where it fits but doesn't affect the leading. Currently the inline images seem to affect the leading before they reach the height of the text. We are using FrameMaker 2017, version 14.0.3.500.

DMC display at the foot of a S1000D 941 illustrated parts-IPD missing

Whilst testing FrameMaker 2019 trial I noticed the DMC doesn't display at the foot of a S1000D 941 illustrated parts-IPD. I have checked the example bicycle illustrated parts data in CSD (S1000DBIKE-AAA-D00-00-00-01AA-941A-D) That also appears to missing the DMC. All the other types of procedural, descriptive DM's appear to display the DMC. Just 941 IPD appears to have the problem.

How can I get Frame to stop un-conditionalizing my cross references?

0
0

I have several cross-references (<Hyperlink>“<$paratext>”\ <Default ¶ Font>on page\ <$pagenum>). in my document that are marked as 'condition A'. When I initially mark them with the conditional tag, everything is fine, but when I update the book, the "on page xx" looses its conditional tag, while the rest of the reference stays marked as conditional.  This does not happen to every conditional cross-reference throughout the doc, but when it happens to a given cross reference, it happens to that reference consistently. Does anyone know what causes this and what I can do to fix it?

 

This is in a book containing ~15 frame files, some of the references go from one file to another, others stay within their file. Some point to text also marked as 'condition A', others do not.

 

In case this matters:

File names appear in WebHelp Content list in FrameMaker 12

When generating webhelp in FrameMaker 12, file names appear in the Content list instead of the headings. In Chrome only the books appear. In IE, the books expand for only the first topic but the name of the topic shows the title for the help and not the actual heading. The content in the displayed page is fine.

PNG images not displaying properly when generating a PDF in FrameMaker 2019

0

I recently upgraded from FrameMaker 2017 to the TCS suite (FrameMaker 2019). I have a couple of documents that were created using older versions of FrameMaker and that contain png images. These images have always displayed just fine when generating the PDF output. Now that I am using FrameMaker 2019, some of the png images appear completely black (they have a transparent background) in the generated PDF. The images look fine when I'm in FrameMaker itself. This does not occur with all of my png images. I can't figure out what is different between the affected files and the files that are generated correctly.

 

Has anybody else seen this issue or have any ideas how to fix it?

Mapped Ordered Lists Not Tagged in Published HTML

0

Ordered Lists mapped to Body Level styles are not always tagged when publishing HTML, Responsive or Basic. This appears related to using < =0> in autonumbering. I have FM 2017 14.0.4.511.

 

Example: Here is a two-level list in a new FM file:

There are only two styles, built from the defaults, identical except for indents and autonumbering:

OL1_OrderedList1: 

 

 

 

OL2_OrderedList2:

If OL1 and OL2 are mapped to BodyLevel1 and BodyLevel2 respectively, with Convert to HTML chosen,
the appearance is correct, and both list levels are tagged <ol>.

However, if a forced reset of OL2 is added to OL1,

then the FM formatting is still correct, but OL2 is not tagged as a list in the HTML.

Here a different series letter and numbering scheme are used with OL3 mapped to BodyLevel3:

OL1:     X:<R+>.\t

OL2:     X:< ><A+>.\t

OL3:     X:< >< ><n+>.\t

If resets are added,

OL1:     X:<R+>< =0>.\t

OL2:     X:< ><A+>< =0>.\t

OL3:     X:< >< ><n+>.\t

 

the FM numbering is still correct but it publishes as

Text, as well as table of contents and bookmarks are numbered "1" so I get 10 chapters number 1...

 

Is that possible to get an update to solve this issue please?

Cannot open .chm

0

Hello, all.

 

I am using FM 2015 in a Windows 10 environment. I initially thought this is a Windows problem, but my coworker who is using Windows 7 also cannot open this .chm file.

 

I am publishing a .chm from FM 2015, using the identical files I have been working in for a year. Some time between my previous build on July 26 and the builds I have attempted today, something has changed. Now, when I select View Output, I immediately get an error message. The same thing occurs if I double-click on the .chm file in Windows Explorer. My coworker has had the same result. This is the message:

Has anyone else encountered this problem? Better yet, has anyone solved it? I have, of course, rebooted.

 

Thanks.

Why won't the Italic angle work in Frame 2015?

I am using the DTLArgoT font (as required by my company's brand guidelines), but I cannot get it to italicize in the Frame 2015 document. Here is what my character designer looks like:

 

 

As you can see, the Angle is Italic, but the text still looks normal in the document. I tried using Arial, and with that font the Italic angle works.  Is there a way to get this to apply to the DTLArgoT font?
