Hi,
We're considering moving from our current authoring solution to using Framemaker. We store files in Perforce and want to continue leveraging Perforce. I believe we'd have to create a custom connector to connect Frame with Perforce. Has anyone out there ever done anything like this? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could provide some pointers. We've got the FDK and a sample custom connector, but I was wondering if anyone had any "real world" experience in putting one together.
Thanks.
A PostScript file, created by printing from Adobe FrameMaker, when processed using Adobe Distiller, gives the above error message. I wonder what is the cause?
thanks,
Hi,
I am creating a manual and would like to centre the title on the first page. I am having trouble finding the answer. What do I do?
Thanks!
Hello Scripters,
I have a recursive function that touches every element in a structured FrameMaker file. I am trying to find out how to get text nodes as I process the elements.
#target framemaker
var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
var element = doc.MainFlowInDoc.HighestLevelElement;
processElements (element);
function processElements (element) {
if (element.ElementDef.ObjectValid()) { $.writeln (element.ElementDef.Name); } else { // I thought I could get text nodes here, but it never gets here. } var element2 = element.FirstChildElement; while(element2.ObjectValid()) { processElements (element2); element2 = element2.NextSiblingElement; }
}
I expected that I would get the text nodes on line 14, but it the else statement never gets there. In FrameScript, if an element has no ElementDef, then it is a text node. I am not sure about the FDK. Any ideas how I can pick up the text nodes in a function like this? Thanks.

FM12 was crashing when I tried to print a book to PDF, with "Internal Error 12004, 2175520, 21555514, 24685749". It would print to a printer.
I installed the update to 12.0.3.424 on my Windows 7 PC, and now it won't print to PDF or to a printer.
When I select File > Print Setup, nothing happens. File > Print Book and File > Print show the message "Can't find a compatible default printer. Try reconfiguring your printer setup in the control panel." I checked my printers in Control Panel, and the correct one is selected as the default.
I saved all files as FM11, and am getting the same result.
Any ideas how to fix this?
When I generate a TOC, it comes out beautifully. However, when I press control + alt to check my links, I receive a "cannot find the file named" error message. This happens for the majority of the links. All of the files are present along with the graphics. Everything is in the same folder. They are saved on our network. However, I have packaged and copied the files to my desktop to see if that makes a difference. I am still receiving the same error message.
Has anyone seen this before? Any solutions in Adobe world? All help is appreciated.

Hello,
I have been able to create an unattended installer for the Adobe Technical Communications Suite 4 using the AAMEE v3.1.
However, I am having difficulty performing an unattended uninstallation for the same.
The uninstall string in the registry is :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\core\PDApp.exe" --appletID="DWA_UI" --appletVersion="2.0" --mode="Uninstall" --mediaSignature="{A9A31111-475C-403B-A5D1-0E79748B723F}"
The product uninstalls successfully with this command but in full GUI.
So far I've been quite reluctant to find the silent switch to PDApp.exe.
I have the following questions :
1. Is there a silent switch to PDApp.exe, that could be used to uninstall TCS 4 ?
2. Can we create a silent uninstaller for TCS 4 using AAMEE, just as we created a silent installer ?
3. If none of the above mentioned is possible, is there a workaround ?
Please help. Any lead would be helpful to get to the solution.
Thanks in advance.
Specifically, I need to specify font, font-size, and color for the numbers only. I've tried defining the style attributes in main.css and from Style Mapping on the Publish Settings form. I'm running FrameMaker 12 and generating the Responsive HTML5 with Publish.
When I try to copy a section of another user's installation chapter, the entire document is selected. I only need a few paragraphs, not the whole thing. I have done this before with other documents without any difficulty. What is going wrong? Many thanks for your help.
I have to deploy Technical Communications Suite 3 to a group of 20 people with a volume license key. In order to avoid giving 20 people in the company a volume key, I'm using the Adobe Application Manager to build a distributable silent installer for this delivery. The problem is that when you use the Adobe Application Manager to create the build, Adobe Acrobat Professional X (which is part of the package) is not an installable option, nor is it actually installed as seen in the attached screenshot
However, if I just launch the installer by double-clicking Set-up.exe from the downloaded media directory, I do get the option to add Acrobat X.
Finally, if I drill into the installation media folder, "...\Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3\payloads\AcrobatProfessional10.0-EFG" there is a .msi which is for Acrobat X, but when launched, the product key I was provided for Technical Communications Suite 3 does not work. The key works just fine to install the entire suite, but not Acrobat X by itself.
Has anyone else had any luck creating a silent install for TCS3? I called support and reproduced the problem for them, but they had no answer.
Just for the record, I have found this exact same behavior with all the Adobe Suites which are supposed to get Acrobat.
Is anyone aware if future versions of FrameMaker will ever be compatible with a Mac? I used to work on a Windows computer, and I really enjoyed using FrameMaker to create Install/User Manuals. I work on a Mac now, and I am just wondering if it will ever be available with a Mac.
Thanks!

I have a TCS 3 installation that I am trying to update to 3.5. I can install 3 fine, but I get the message “A prerelease version of this product is already installed” when I try the update.
But I have uninstalled the pre-release version long ago. I have tried uninstalling 3 and reinstalling from scratch before the update. I have tried accepting the 3.5 install as a trial to enter the serial number later, and tried entering the serial number as usual. I have used Revo Uninstaller and edited the Registry by hand to remove any traces of the TCS 3 install, but I cannot find anything that looks like it was pre-release only. The 3.5 serial number I have is valid according to Adobe Support.
This seems very familiar to me from the pre-release forum, but I don’t recall the details and can’t access it now.
I have been using all of the apps in TCS apps but installed individually. Now I want to install the TCS 3.5 and it is failing to install FrameMaker and Robohelp, as well as a bunch of other stuff associated with Captivate ("failed due to bad configuration").
Before I start un-installing everything in sight I am hoping for some guidance.
Please advise. I am dying to get this sw installed so I can create a powerful demo to comit my group to it.
Thanks!
Trying to get the Robohelp Menus in Framemaker. I have found instructions on how to add dhtml effects. I am trying to create expanding text to publish in HTML.
The 2nd step says select Select Adobe RoboHelp > Dynamic HTML Effects> Drop Down Caption.
I don't see this anywhere and I looked for instructions on how to add it but couldn't find anything.
Using structured Framemaker 12
We are trying to create OnLine Help (chm) files from FrameMaker 12. I've figured out some of the mapping, but one whole area has me stumped! It is how to get a hierarchical Table of Contents in the OnLine Help like this:
Also, as shown above, we'd like the "Title" on each page to not appear in the TOC!
I couldn't find any samples that resulted in the type of thing I'm looking for.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I have to drill down about ten clicks to get to my docs. Any way to set a default folder when I open Connection Manager in FM 11?
