• Determine the cost of installing FrameMaker 2015

  
  Our company is spending the structured Word to FrameMaker 2015. I need to understand the process and the costs associated with hiring a company to install FrameMaker 2015 and convert 250 Word in 2015 of FrameMaker documents. I'm new to FrameMaker and I know that I'm not aware of what the process is, what precautions should I take, I should be informed to make the transition as easy as possible, information and how to assess the costs. I tried a number of Web sites, but can't seem to find a basic guide to hiring another company set up FrameMaker 2015. Any ideas on the resources that I could use?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  This is no a trivial task, your workflow can change a lot.

  There is a lot of companies out there that do exactly what you ask. If you are D-A-CH, I salute a few guys for you, that perfectly match your needs.

  Question is always: how much time and money you want to throw at it. If your company does not have to spend a lot of money, they need to spend a lot of time (Yes we know, it is also - money but good, it is an internal resource). You can perfectly acquire all the necessary knowledge for yourself and do the work without outside help. But it takes time - a lot.

  If you go this route (and you should be at a certain point), everyone here will gladly help you.

  But from scratch with no sample and no knowledge base is quite hard and painful.

  My personal opinion is that you should have a working process, proper training and start and then to dive more deeply into the case.

  This will allow you to save a lot of expense, time and frustration later.

• Using Framemaker, 2015, when editing, changes are NOT saved even after registration, including when you import new graphics.  Save, and then reopen the document and the old graphics are here and sometimes even old text.  Is this a known bug?

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. open a document in FrameMaker 2015

  2. change the document

  3 save the document

  4 open new document.

  5. unsaved changes.

  Embarrassing especially when doing the import images, old we remains same after the new update.

  Work in progress about-

  change the document twice and then save. The backup file would be the problem? Frame creates several tables backupfile and so the backup must be updated before the primary?

  Try the direct path - updates

• FrameMaker 2015 is no longer generate tables of contents (TOC)

  All of a sudden, some people in our team cannot generate tables of contents in FrameMaker 2015, while others may still. We could all generate TOCs without problem until this week (at least, this week is when we noticed the problem). Are there known issues with the 3.1 update that was released in April (I think)?

  When we select Add > > create Standalone TOC, FrameMaker creates a TOC file and adds it to the book, but the file is completely empty. When we try to update the TOC file, nothing happens. When we try to create/update fakes with other books and models, same thing.

  Other people are able to create/update TOCs with these same files. We have not been able to determine what is the difference which is causing the problem.

  Those of us with the problem all seem to have 2015 FrameMaker version 13.0.3.495 installed. But at least a person who has the same version of hotfix can create/update TOCs. (We are all on Windows 7, 64-bit).

  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

  Jason,

  We have introduced an OCD related bug in update Fm 13.0.3 where in unstructured books OCD is not generated in structured mode.

  As a solution, he is requested to work in unstructured for unstructured books Mode:

  1. edit > Preferences > Interface product > select FrameMaker > restart FM

  2. open the book > Update > should work

  We work for a quick update for the same thing.

• Is it possible to hide a document of Adobe FrameMaker 2015?

  Is it possible to hide a document of Adobe FrameMaker 2015?

  Ch,

  You can open hidden with the FDK or ExtendScript, something like:

  F_PropValsT openScript, * returnp = NULL;
  UIntT sn;

  F_ObjHandleT docId.

  openScript = F_ApiGetOpenDefaultParams();
  SN = F_ApiGetPropIndex (& openScript, FS_MakeVisible);
  openScript.val [sn].propVal.u.ival = True;
  docId = F_ApiOpen ("C:\\SomePath\\SomeDoc.fm", & openScript, & returnp);

  You can also make a document currently open hidden:

  F_ApiSetInt (FV_SessionId, docId, FP_IsOnScreen, False);

  It's not a way to do this via the GUI.

• FrameMaker 2015 Embedded XLS problem when PDF

  Hi, I have a problem with frame 2015 with embedded XLS tables and output PDF.

  I work with a new client who was using v11 with simple structured and incorporated documents XLS tables.  We have now purchased both Framemaker 2015 so that I can work on their documents.

  The problem I have is when I open the V11 docs in 2015 TI loses the link to the source XLS.  Billboards OK but when attaching to open the data source I get:

  "Cannot locate the source of the link" even if the path appears correct.  At this point if I save to PDF output is OK.

  So I can re - insert the tables by using 'Edit - Paste Special - integrate Microsoft Office Excel 2003 worksheet' and it appears correctly on the screen.  However when I then save them in PDF format (as desired by the customer) the picture becomes a big black box.  If I print normally the output is OK its only saving in PDF format.

  I also tried to print to Adobe PDF with the same result, tables appear as black boxes.  Any ideas on a solution would be very appreciated!

  OLE has a history of being a bit dodgy with FM. Have you tried to import, reference, the Excel worksheet? FM hasExcel import filters and "by reference" made sure if the content is updated, then FM uses the most recent.

  In addition, when you create the PDF file, you use the option CMYK or RGB?

• I have 12 FrameMaker files can I use FrameMaker 2015 to generate a PDF of older file?

  I have files created in FrameMaker 12.

  Can I use FrameMaker 2015 version to open the files and generate a PDF file?

  I get error when I try to do.

  I just want to know if it is possible or not.

  Thank you

  Alice

  Yes, it should be possible. What kind of error do you get?

  Open all files and save them as FM2015 versions first. If you have a book file, open all the files of the components before trying to create a PDF file. [Use the Shift key the shortcut in the file menu for the book to open all the files at once.]

• How to overcome the problem of initialization of installation with the trial version of FrameMaker 2015?

  FrameMaker 2015 test installation: installer stops, saying: he is unable to initialize and pointing me on Adobe Support Advisor, a tool that apparently abandoned. I get the error message in my (German) language regardless of the language version of the trial, I downloaded. My computer Win7Pro had FM8 installed, but it now requires me to register again, that breaks down.

  Awesome. I'm glad that this problem could be solved. AchmedMUC, that would be great, if you could mark the Ajit answer "Right answer", so that this thread is marked as closed / resolved.

  Thank you :-)

• Question of FrameMaker 2015 with lose italics in legacy files

  Our team just upgraded to FrameMaker 2015 (from 12 FrameMaker). We lack in certain points where we lose italics in models and existing files, or the tag of character of "Emphasis" that we use to apply italic formatting is not working properly.

  For example, when I opened our model existing in 2015 from FrameMaker, the character tag "Accent" is always set correctly - it shows that ownership of "Italic" in the field "Angle". But, when I select a word or phrase and apply the style of 'Focus', the text does not get italicized. Framework indicates that the label of "Emphasis" has been applied, but the text is still Roman (i.e. non-italic).

  When I change the property 'Angle' to 'Italic' to 'Italically' which seems to fix the problem, but I don't know why.

  We see also incompatible issues italic formatting getting dropped altogether in the existing files or to drop only from cross references, etc.

  Are there known issues with the italic formatting in FrameMaker 2015? Or what we could do this triggers?

  FYI: we are all on Windows 7.

  Thanks in advance...

  Have you checked what is your model? It might be one of the plug-in (or maybe another initial start-up or a plug-in script) is something that leads to this load behavior. It kind of sounds like the catalogues of model is (re-) imported at startup to ensure an homogeneous behavior in your workgroup.

• Definition of the surface of the mushroom side in FrameMaker 2015

  The properties of the object dialog box has changed significantly in 2015 from FrameMaker. It seems that you must specify the heads side through the designer of model object and then assign this style for the text block.  Is this true?

  So I set the heads side using graphics > designer object model. I selected my head sideways style in the object's properties dialog box, and click Save. The heads side have not been added. Nothing has changed on the page.

  Does anyone know how to add the heads side in 2015 from FrameMaker?

  Same as always:

  (1) format > Page layout > column layout...

  2) click the box of the room to the heads side at the top left and fill in the desired properties of width, Gap and side

  3) click update all of the flow

  
  

  
  

  It is an entire document, stream property, so you shouldn't really go through the object Designer.

• FrameMaker 2015 - book structured

  I tried to get a structured book to work in 2015 from Framemaker. The two chapter files are validated. But I can not "NoName" element in the structure of the book to work. How do you rename the item "NoName"? I read through a number of forums and help files.

  I started with groups and files and could not get that to work. From what I've seen on the forum, groups and files in a directory file does not features.

  My current file is a book, with two chapters, Chapter2.fm and Chapter3.fm.

  I saw no guide in the documentation of Framemaker (8, 9, 10, 12, or 2015) that helps me get this concept of file 'structured book' to work.

  Is it not possible to create a structured book? or a business that requires developer capabilities?

  BrianG,

  It's a little difficult for me to understand exactly what hurdle you are facing. Books can be structured and groups/files function correctly. I'll throw some advice, perhaps they can lead you to a solution:

  -Since you see a structure for your book, it means that you have imported at least a DSP. Good. At this point, the management of the tree structure uses the element catalog, as in a document, except as described in the next point...

  -Each file in a book will be automatically represented by an element. This happens only when you add a file to a book. BUT, you cannot manually change these items. They update automatically to the element root even in the respective documents, when you perform an update of the book. The process of updating the book is so important to update of a tree structure of the book.

  -Groups and folders also get an item in the tree view automatically. But unlike the files, you can change these tags by the catalogue of the element.

  -Every tree must have a root element. When you import a DSP in a book, he gets a tree structure and assigns a NoName tag to the root. It's just that because he does not know what component you can here. All you have to do, then are to be selected in the display of the structure, then use the catalog of the element to change.

  I hope this helps some.

• REWARD TO SOLVE: FrameMaker 2015 not allowing save as

  Hi all

  I am in the final stages of presenting my reference book of FrameMaker on the printer and just fell on a "plug".

  Anyone who can solve this problem will get a free EPUB book (already produced, details on http://www.techcommtools.com/framemaker-reference-book/)

  A funny thing (in fact, not funny at all) started happening yesterday...

  Opening of all existing projects, I can't use the Save as function.

  New files appear to be unaffected, but existing documents are treated differently.

  The question arose after that my computer has all files opened in the book.

  Has anyone else seen elsewhere, or know how to fix? Please help so I can get this thing to Amazon!

  -Matt

  In the end, I got the problem solved.

  What has not worked:

  • Application of the fix (already on 13.0.1)
  • change of name of file in Win
  • the use of files for backup or restore
  • restart of Fm and Win8.1
  • removal of the maker.ini (installation and Roaming dir) files

  What works

  • the nuclear option, otherwise known as the resettlement of FrameMaker

• Why my pods in FrameMaker 2015 disappear randomly?

  It happened three times on my computer and twice on my co-workers since we have updated since FM9 two months ago.  We are not affected by any crash or freeze at all.  Sometimes we don't even work actively in the framework.  It is just open, and when we go back, the pods will be all just completely gone, which we have to reset all of them from scratch.

  You have your workspace registered at all?
