Framemaker 12 publishing error

0
0

I am receiving a 'failed to import document' error when trying to publish to any format.  Is there a way to view a log or something to see what is going on?


Figure deletes itself if I backspace in a figure caption.

A bug or me?

 

The steps:

 

  1. Tag a paragraph as Anchor.
  2. Insert and resize a photo at the anchor.
  3. Cut the photo and delete the frame.
  4. Paste the photo.
  5. Create a Figure Caption underneath the image.
  6. Start typing the caption.

 

If I backspace while typing the caption, the picture and frame are deleted. If I Undo the deletion, I can backspace in the caption without the figure deleting itself. Any ideas?

 

Thank you.

Lisa

Bookmarks in webhelp generated from Framemaker

0
0

Hi all

 

We're using the trial version of Framemaker 12 as part of the TCS5 suite.

 

I've been experimenting with the Publish pod to create WebHelp and am wondering how to specify which Framemaker headings appear in the Webhelp TOC?

 

I thought it might use settings in the Bookmarks tab in PDF setup - but have tried this to no effect.

 

Certain headings do appear in the TOC, but not a new ChapterTitleHelp style I've created. How do I get this to appear?

 

I've looked in the Style Mapping tab in the Publish Settings dialog (when you right-click Webhelp and select Edit Settings).  However, this seems to be more to do with the look and feel and character format than determining which headings appear.

 

Can anyone help please?  We do have Robohelp as part of the suite, but to the best of my knowlege you should be able to output directly from Framemaker without opening RH. Is there a file somewhere where you can specify which headings you want?

 

Many thanks

Laura

"This help system has no topics"

Hi all

 

We're using the trial version of Framemaker 12 as part of the TCS5 suite.

 

I've been experimenting with the Publish pod to create WebHelp.

 

I managed to create pretty good help files, and was pleased with the result.

 

Then I changed a few things (renamed some book files to provide better search results) and now when I generate Webhelp and view the output, "This help system has no topics" appears in the main window.

no topics.png

This happens regardless of whether I generate the book, or a single file. There clearly are topics, which appear in the TOC on the left. When I click an item in the TOC, the help file works fine.

 

Even when I revert to the original file names, it still happens.

Also, the search function no longer works - it did before.

 

Any ideas why this is happening?

 

Thanks in advance

Hello!

 

I have browsed the available online documents, but the most recent version of the MIF Reference guide that I found was for FM 10.

Is there such a guide available for FM 12 yet?

 

Thank you very much for your help,

How compatible is Frammaker 12 with Arbortext using Widmill 9.1 as a content manager? Windmil does not produce a DTD file.

We get this randomly and it has not been for awhile, but when we try to open a FrameMaker file we get the attached error. We have tried on other computers. Attached is the log file as well.

Any ideas as to what we can do to fix this?

Blurry fonts on the screen - Windows 8.1- Framemaker 12

0
0

I installed a group of adobe fonts bought in 2002 in Windows 8.1 by clicking every .PFM file and clicking on the install button. Everything seems fine. According to the Microsoft support knowledge base, the .PFM file should be in the windows-->fonts directory. And they are at the right place. Each font comes with two files with different  file extension : a .PFM and a .PFB file extension but I cannot see the .PFB files. Is it normal ?

The question : why my fonts look so blurry on the screen, I simply cannot work.

 

Thank you.

Installing a subscription copy of FrameMaker 12

0
0

My manager recently purchased a subscription version of FrameMaker 12. I downloaded the files to my local computer and clicked the Set-up application file so that I could begin the installation process. A Welcome dialog displays with two options: Install and Try (for tral version).

 

Since this is not a trial version, I selected the "Install" option. The problem with this is that after I click Accept for the Adobe Software License Agreement, the next panel asks for a serial number. My manager said he was not given a serial number for the subscription copy. So how do I proceed to install FrameMaker? Have I gone about the installation process incorrectly? I'll need help with this one since I definitely need to download FrameMaker soon to work on my current project.

 

Please advise. Your advice will be greatly appreciated.

I am trying to get FrameMaker working on a new computer but it says the licence is being used on two other machines.  The machines that the program was on both failed during a recent move and new machines had to be bought. 

Is it a best practice to have a template with one master page?

I am a newbie FM 11 writer and am cleaning up some unorganized books. Should I copy one set of Master Pages to all files in the book. Currently my TOC and certain other files have unique master pages. I would like to set up our books using best practices and would like input from the community. Thanks.

Edit ClipboardFormatsPriorities in maker.ini file

0

FrameMaker 10 (v. 10.0.2.419), Window 7.

 

When copying text from Word into FrameMaker, I would like "TEXT" to be the first item in the dialog box when using Paste Special.

 

We have edited the ClipboardFormatsPriorities in the maker.ini file by moving TEXT from the end to the beginning of the line:

 

ClipboardFormatsPriorities=TEXT, FILE, MIFW, MIF, RTF, OLE 2, META, EMF,  DIB, BMP, UNICODE TEXT

 

So far, the changes have not taken affect.

 

Can this be done?

 

Thanks

Debbie

I am working on FM 11 and need to add a 11" x 17" graphic in the middle of my chapter (on 8 1/2" x 11" portrait). This large graphic will be on a foldout page. What's the best way to do it? Thanks.

Saving to pdf with distiller when some documents have different dimensions

I use distiller 9 at work to convert books, made with Framemaker 11, to a pdf. The problem is that some pages are an 11x17 fold out. We go back and replace these manually in the final pdf. Is there a way that distiller can handle these files during the convert to pdf process? We are thinking of adding more pages this way, and this would be a huge time saver.

 

Our software- Framemaker 11, Acrobat 9 Pro, Acrobat Distiller 9, PS and AI CS5.

Sometimes when I generate a PDF from a FrameMaker 10 unstructured book, the generated PDF overwrites an existing file with a totally different name and location.  After I try a few times without changing anything, it finally does it right.  Any ideas?

In Frame 10, is it possible to globally rip and replace all styles, variables, and conditions in a file? I found that by importing formats, I bring in new formats, but I don't remove the old ones.
