Hi Wim...

Sorry .. other than very limited testing, long ago, I don't do this and I'm not aware of any customers who are.

You might try the framemaker-dita list as well.

One thought .. do you know that these features work as expected in a non-dita FrameMaker document? If they do, then what about in a binary/structured FM document that uses a DITA model. Try removing the automation (DITA-FMx or DITA-FM) from the testing, and see if you get reasonable results. This can help to determine if the problem is core FM or if it's DITA related. Also, I can see this being something that may work differently in different versions of FM.

Good luck!

Hi, reposting this, did not get any responses so far.

Is anyone publishing their DITA projects to Hebrew or Arabic using DITA-FM or DITA-fmx?

I run into some issues.

1. alignment of images is not (always) correct
2. pagination in the FM book doesn't work as expected (right-left doesn't correspond to even/odd pages when a chapter starts with an even page number).

I guess these problems are related to the issue that in FrameMaker it's not possible to 'import' direction (rtl or ltr) using the import formats menu. Therefore, the documents should be generated from the DITA XML using a rtl-formatted template. And apparently it then just copies the alignment attribute of images as they are in the XML in stead of adapting those to the ltr setting.

Plesae contact me off-list if you want to share your befindings or solutions.

Thanks!

I noticed that FrameMaker also has some issues. For example: it's not possible to 'import' direction (rtl or ltr) using the import formats menu.
