FrameMaker 2015 hash pattern conditional colors and PDF production issue

0
0

Hello fellow FrameMaker users! We recently started using FrameMaker 2015 (32-bit) and have run into a strange issue. Our once previously conditional tagging pattern to use bold for row coloring in FrameMaker 8 is now rendered as a cross-hash pattern in FrameMaker 2015. When we try to print the book showing the conditional colors, it is immensely slow. Adobe has recognized the issue as something to do with how the hash patterns are stored for production purposes. Did anyone else encounter this issue? Did you find any workarounds to print while showing the colors? Did you have to change how your colors work for this?

How to format Glossary output in FrameMaker

0
0

I am not a fan of how FrameMaker formats the Glossary by default. It first lists the glossterm on one line, then the glossdef on the second line, slightly indented.

I would like the term and definition to sit on the same line, but my attempts to format this have been unsuccessful.

 

I thought of creating an invisible table and putting glossterm in the left column, and glossdef in the right column. Am I barking up the right tree? Please tell me there is a way to do this. Thanks!

Cannot initialize API Client

Good morning,

I just installed FM 2019 and I put my handy FM plug-ins into the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe FrameMaker 2019\fminit\Plugins folder as I have done with my past versions of FM.

Now, when I open FM19, I get the following error:

I have tried looking for help online and in other forums but have found nothing. I'm not sure what the APIClients section of my maker.ini file is supposed to look like, but nothing jumps out at me as being wrong.

If anyone has suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Wendy

Removing header & footer from singe page?

Hi All,

 

In my document I have several pages with footers & headers, and some without. I'd like to remove the footer & header from a specific page in the document. How can I do it without damaging the master page for the rest of the document?

Responsive HTML5 Settings

I'd like to try out different skins but I've already customized a settings file as Settings-3. If I click New and change the skin, FM returns message "all changes to the responsive layout will be lost". But if I save it with a different file name, will I be able to switch between settings files to generate HTML?

EDD context rules for any ancestors with certain attribute

0
0

Hi all,

 

I am new to EDD programming, I understand the use of wildcard * in the context rule, like * < chapter.

 

But what if I want to add a context rule based on if any ancestor has attribute @change="yes", would something like the following work?

 

Else, if context is: * [change = ”yes”]

Text range.

Font properties

     Color: Forest Green

 

I have tried the above, importing the EDD seems fine (i.e. FM did not complain it been invalid), but it did not have any effect to the rendered document.

 

Is there anyway in the EDD that allow me to do this?

 

Because the above method did not work for me, so I thought I will explicitly list all the possible ancestors that may have @change=yes, so I tried the following context rule:

 

Else, if context is: * < (chapter | codechapter | codechapterdivision | codechaptersubdivision | part | division | subdivision | clause | subclause | schedule | subschedule) [change = ”yes”]

Text range.

Font properties

     Color: Forest Green

 

Surprisingly, this did not work either. However, when I reduced the list to just * < (chapter | clause)[change = ”yes”], FM renders the document correctly (i.e. the text becomes green).

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Simon.

Just to add that I am using FM 2017 release, version 14.

Do we have to install the Trial version of FM2019 before we can get the full license?

0
0

Hello

 

I have an existing old version from my PC (FM V7), I know right , very old. No we have purchased the license for FM2019. We have been told to install the trialversion first before we can get the FM2019 (full version) with License. The issue was, we cannot install the trial version, what would be the issue? We extracted the zip file and got Set Up.exe. But only gave us blank window. What would be the issue? Can you please assist? Thank you in advance.

 

One more thing... Why are we installing the Trial version first? Can we install the FM2019 by skipping this process?

FM2019/Acrobat DC chopping headers/footers

0
0

Have been creating 4x6 docs for years with no problems. Upgrade to FM 2019 and using the new "Publish" utility with Acrobat DC chops most of the header and part of the footer. Changing vertical size to 6.1" output looks OK, but that's a no-go for our customer. Searched maker.ini and every other settings option I could think of with no luck. Any ideas or unknown setting locations I could test? Thanks very much.

FameMaker 15 Backup File Issue

0
0

I am working in FM15 and I work in a group of other writers that also have FM15.  My particular issue is, when I have a file open, and I select the save icon, it only saves the file, the backup file is not updated.  But, if I go into File<Save, then both files update.  My cube mate, when he has a file open, and selects the save icon, both his file and backup update.  I've gone through all the settings I am aware of and looked online for a solution but I can not find anything.

I have Automatic Backup on Save selected along with Auto Save Every 2 minutes.  Any advice would be appreciated, thanks

Can't select text in FrameMaker 2017

0
0

I have no idea what may have prompted this behavior, which is why I'm here. Today, for some reason, I can not select text in a FrameMaker document — one in which I have worked before with the usual ability. I can't click and drag the mouse to select text, nor can I put down a cursor and use the Shift key together with an arrow key to select text. Considering that I do a lot of cutting and pasting back and forth, along with changing fonts, styles, and weights, this limitation is exceedingly frustrating. Any ideas where FrameMaker lost its ability to select text?

Are there any sanfu's when using a 3rd-party CMS, like Subversion (or something similar), with FrameMaker (or RH)?

We are looking into going with a 3rd-party CMS, like Subversion, and wondered if anyone has ever run into any snafu's using that or something similar with FrameMaker (or RH)?

Are there any sanfu's to keep in mind when using a 3rd-party CMS, like Subversion (or something similar), with FrameMaker 2017?

We are looking into going with a 3rd-party CMS, like Subversion, and wondered if anyone has ever run into any snafu's using that or some other similar CMS with FrameMaker? We looked into the currently-supported CMS's with Adobe, GIT and SharePoint, and neither are good for our team, which is why we've researched other options. I was just looking for some input if there were things to keep in mind.

Thanks!

Trouble publishing ditamap with topicrefs.

0
0

I have a ditamap that contains some topicrefs and some dita files. When I use 'Save DITAMAP as...' Book 2017 with fm components, the book does not publish as I would expect. The chapter hierarchy is messed up.

DITAMAP structure (using numbers to show hierarchy):

1 Intro

2 Setup

  2.1 Roles

  2.2 Permissions

  2.3 Authorization

3 Real-Time

4 (topicref with navtitle "Configuration")

  4.1 Source

  4.2 System

  4.3 Reports

    4.3.1 Report A

    4.3.2 Report B

 

Generated TOC:

1 Intro

2 Setup

3 Roles

4 Permissions

5 Authorization

6 Real-Time

MISSING (topicref with navtitle "Configuration")

7 Source

8 System

9 Reports

  9.1 Report A

  9.2 Report B

 

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks!

hyperlinks from visio files

0
0

I need to create links from Visio graphics to tables, figures, and titles within my mil-std doc.

 

Before I dive into the weeds, has anyone successfully accomplished this, and exported to SGML?

 

I'm considering two approaches:

  • Determine a URL based upon the ID of the reference, and insert into Visio file (I'm concerned that this will be too fragile)
  • Create hotspot with link to hypertext marker in anchored frame (not sure this will survive export to SGML)

 

Visio files are currently saved as WMF, but also wondering if SVG would be a better choice for export. Using Fm 2015.

 

Can anyone share a success story?

 

-Matt
