I tried to update Update 2 today from 15.01
The install process fails, my 15.01 version was deleted.
My workaround:
I reinstalled 15.0 and updated to 15.02 without any problem.

New Feature Request: Catalog of Specified Named Destinations
I am not sure if this is the place to put in for a new feature request, but a catalog of named destinations within a .book file would be amazing. So, for instance, when I am inserting a "jump to named destination" hypertext marker, it would be great if I could have a pre-populated list of specified named destinations (that I have created throughout the book) to choose from.

Running H/F 10 is blank
Hello.
I recently inherited a library of FM books and I am using FM 2017; it is the first time I am using FM on a regular, in-depth basis.
In one of the books, Table of Contents does not appear in the header on the table of contents pages, even though the Running H/F 10 variable appears in the header for the master pages used on these pages. When I manually define the Running H/F 10 variable as Table of Contents, that text appears fine in the header.
Before I changed it, the Running H/F 10 variable definition was:
<Default ¶ Font><$paratext[TOC_Title,AppendixHeadingRepeat,AppendixHeading 1,Heading 1]>
Which I believe is consistent with the other books.
As the Running H/F 10 variable is not used anywhere else, manually defining the variable with static text is an acceptable workaround with no negative consequences, as far as I can tell. Nonetheless, I am curious as to why this is happening and how to resolve it.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Publish Error in Structured FrameMaker
I am trying to publish a structured FM file using the Basic HTML output. I keep getting the following error:
"Output Basic HTML contains and absolute path for publishing. Change to a relative path to continue."
I have tried publishing it to my desktop, to my hard drive, to a network folder with no change.
Any help would be appreciated.

Print FM to Acrobat with specific Initial View Properties by default
Some time ago, I managed to arrange things so that when I print to Acrobat from FrameMaker, the resulting PDF gets created with the Navigation Tab defaulting to "Bookmarks Panel and Page" on the Initial View Tab of the document properties. I love this. It saves me the time of going to the file properties and changing the Initial View setting each and every time.
My problem is that now I can't remember or figure out how I did it.
Here are some things I can tell you (all of which lead me to believe that it's a setting somewhere in the specific FM file(s)):
- When I set it up, I was using FM 12 and Acrobat (XI maybe?) on a different computer from the one I am using now. I am now using FM(2015 edition) and Acrobat DC.
- It only works when printing from FM (not from Word or any other program).
- It works when printing book files and individual files.
- It seems to only work with my existing files. If I create a new file "from scratch" it doesn't work (I almost always create new files either by save-as from another file or by creating a new file and importing all formats from an existing file).
- It works with any PDF job options.
Any ideas what sort of magic I must have performed to make this work?

FM2019 - How to set element boundary display
Hi, I believe this was a FM2017 change, but I skipped over that version and I'm now coming late to this question. Now that element boundary display is an application-level parameter, how do I set it with the FDK or ES? I can't find any documentation, anything in f_apidefs.h, or the ES browser. This does not work:
| F_ApiSetInt(0, docId, FP_ElementBoundaryDisplay, FV_ELEM_DISP_BRACKETS); |
Thanks,
Russ

Anchored Frames, Graphic Frames,
Win 7, FM 2015 Is it possible to place a graphic on a page with a numbered caption and have it stay in the same place on the same page even if editing before and after is done? Anchored frames don't work because they constantly move around, Graphic frames don't work because the caption is out of the flow and won't update and tables won't work because you have to chose flow to avoid white space. Is there an answer I am overlooking? I am a novice.

How to create a rule in body text
Hello.
I am using FrameMaker 2015 in Windows 10.
We are writing a Reference section that will cover many programming functions. We'd like to use a horizontal rule to separate each section. We will be publishing to PDF and .chm, so the rule needs to expand and contract with the width of the browser window.
i know how to create a rule, put it on a Reference page, and attach it to a paragraph format, but that width is fixed. I need a rule that will expand and contract as necessary.
How do I do it?
All suggestions gratefully received.

Drawing lines with ESTK is a nightmare
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears! I come to bash Adobe [not plain Shakespeare]
What strange mathematics is necessary to get the lines drawn as they should: all from a centre out at steps of 30°?
In the FM coordinate system y goes from top to bottom. I have found that the bounding box (aka dimensions) of the object is disconnected from the end points of the line. As You can see from the diagram below, created lines in quadrants II and IV are flipped up/down - after the drawing routine has been left!
How to cope with this strange happening!
// --- Create lines at all 30° angles - FM coordinate system in cm
#target framemaker
main ();
function main () {
var j, oDoc, oFrame, x0, x1, y0, y1, length, angle, oLine, oPoints = [];
CM = 1857713, pi = Math.PI; oDoc = app.ActiveDoc; oFrame = oDoc.FirstSelectedGraphicInDoc; if (!oFrame.ObjectValid()) { Alert("Select an anchored frame and try again.", Constants.FF_ALERT_CONTINUE_WARN); return; }
for (j= 0; j < 8; j++) { length = 3; angle = pi/4 * j; // 0, 30°, 60° … 330° x0 = 6; y0 = 4; x1 = x0 + length * Math.cos(angle); y1 = y0 + length * Math.sin(angle); oLine = CreateLine (oDoc, oFrame, x0, y0, x1, y1); oPoints = oLine.Points; // after drawing lines in quadrants II and IV are flipped up/down! $.writeln ("b xo/y0 = " + oPoints[0].x/CM + "\t" + oPoints[0].y/CM ); $.writeln ("b x1/y1 = " + oPoints[1].x/CM + "\t" + oPoints[1].y/CM ); }
} //--- end main
function CreateLine (oDoc, oFrame, x0, y0, x1, y1) {
// x, y are the location of endpoints [cm]; FM-coordinate system!
var j, oLine, oPoints = [], oPoint=[], width, height,
CM = 1857713, FRMAKER5819 = 8192; oPoints.length = 0; oLine = oDoc.NewLine(oFrame); oPoint0 = new Point(), oPoint0.x = x0*CM; oPoint0.y = y0*CM; oPoints.push(oPoint0); oPoint1 = new Point(), oPoint1.x = x1*CM; oPoint1.y = y1*CM; oPoints.push(oPoint1); width = x1 - x0; height = y1 - y0; oLine.Width = Math.abs(width)* CM; oLine.Height = Math.abs(height)* CM; if (Math.abs(width)* CM < FRMAKER5819) {oLine.Width = FRMAKER5819}; if (Math.abs(height)* CM < FRMAKER5819) {oLine.Height = FRMAKER5819};
// --- quadrants in FM coordinate system --------- if (x0 <= x1 & y0 <= y1) {$.writeln ("\n------------ quadrant I"); oLine.LocX = x0 * CM; oLine.LocY = y0 * CM; } if (x0 > x1 & y0 <= y1) {$.writeln ("\n------------ quadrant II"); oLine.LocX = x1 * CM; oLine.LocY = y0 * CM; } if (x0 > x1 & y0 > y1) {$.writeln ("\n------------ quadrant III"); oLine.LocX = x1 * CM; oLine.LocY = y1 * CM; } if (x0 <= x1 & y0 > y1) { $.writeln ("\n------------ quadrant IV"); oLine.LocX = x0 * CM; oLine.LocY = y1 * CM; } $.writeln ("a xo/y0 = " + oPoints[0].x/CM + "\t" + oPoints[0].y/CM ); $.writeln ("a x1/y1 = " + oPoints[1].x/CM + "\t" + oPoints[1].y/CM ); oLine.BorderWidth = 0.05*CM; // Stroke-width oLine.Color = oDoc.GetNamedColor("Magenta");
//$.bp(true); return oLine;
} //--- end CreateLineThe constant FRMAKER5819 is there to cope with the error described in the respective bug report.

Remove Zapf Dingbat from entfmts file
I'm evaluating FM2019.
The file C:\Program Files\Adobe\AdobeFrameMaker11\Structure\entfmts which is opened by FM when opening XML/DITA files contains the missing font Zapf Dingbat and an error is shown on the console.
Why isn't Adobe removing this font or at least install it with FM?
This font don't come with Windows 10.

Why is FM2017 and FM2019 show themselves as FM2015 in Windows 10
I'm evaluating multiple versions of FM.
When I want to assign an app to a file type (e.g. .fm), Windows will show me all 3 version of installed FM for file type .fm but display the same app name.
This is very confusing to say the least...
Since I couldn't find a place to specify a bug, I've used this forum.
Below is a screenshot for showing how Windows 10 RS3 displays FM2015, FM2017, FM2019 (x64) when I request to change the default for file type .fm.

FrameMaker 2015 vs. FrameMaker 2019 x64 performance
I'm evaluating FM2019, hoping to replace FM2015 in structured authoring.
I have created 2 books (~1000 pages) - a datasheet for a product my company makes.
The bulk of the book (900 pages) contains structured FM files that originated from DITA 1.2 and saved as .fm files.
FM2019 opens DITA files significantly faster than FM2015, which get us closer to working with DITA files natively. Not there yet as opening the converted .fm documents is an order of magnitude faster.
The performance degradation comes from updating the book. The 2 books have identical content.
FM2015 takes 20 seconds to perform an update and FM 2019 x64 takes 55 seconds.
The expectation is that 64 bits perform faster not almost 3x slower.
The system:
- Core i5-7440HQ (quad core processor)
- 32GB of RAM (~8GB used)
- A very fast NVME SSD
- Windows 10 RS3
- .Net framework 4.7.2 installed (very important since FM is a .net app)
Any suggestions on how to improve FM2019 performance?

Problems when filtering conditional content with DITA
Hi
I try to build conditional content for example for different target audiences. I have used DITAVAL and I'm able to exclude content when saving the book with fm components (which is good). But when I try to take this further and use another options like background color to highlight the conditioned parts (would be nice for review) but this doesn't work.
See the example of one of my test ditaval files. I have tried to use different selections (for example flag) but nothing happens. Is there an error or is this function just not working?
I have tried also the filter by attribute but not any success there. I have understood that it works only on topic level, is that true? Don't like that option as there you must change the settings on topic level after review (always a place for user errors).
I have 2019 version.

Problems with initianting Adobe Frame Maker on desk top
Hello sir, My name is Finn Aune. I am a Norwegian, but I live in Thailand. I have used Framemaker for almost 2 decades. Today I purchased an upgrade from 2015+(or older) to 2019 release. I then downloaded and installed it on my laptop and initiated the licence number. All went fine. I then wanted to install the program on my personal desk top computer, which is the one I use for my daily work. When entering I was asked for the licence number. After entering the new licence number, I was told that the licence number was valid, but that I had to enter the licence number from my old product. I did so, from my verson 12. But nothing happens after that. Seems that this number will not be accepted. I paid a high price for the product (THB 25.295,-), from Adobe Store team (Singapore), which is my region. There were only two options when buying: Upgrade or full price. The price for upgrade was higher than I have seen in other advertisements, but I wanted to buy it anyway. How can you help me?
