Look at our release notes to learn more about the development of Acrolinx for FrameMaker.
26 July 2023
Sometimes the FrameMaker integration sent XML that wasn't well-formed to Acrolinx. This caused checking issues in some cases. We've fixed this, which means you can expect smooth sailing going forward.

This new release brings support for FrameMaker 2022 (17), improvements to the Sidebar, and a couple other bug fixes.
We recommend that you use:
-
Acrolinx Platform version 2022.02 or later.
-
FrameMaker 2020 (versions 16.x.x), FrameMaker 2022 (versions 17.x.x).
-
Support for FrameMaker 2022 (17.x.x) - We’ve added support for FrameMaker 2022 (17.x.x). For this, we needed to stop using Internet Explorer in our Sidebar. Read on to see how this might affect you.
-
Removed Internet Explorer Components from the Sidebar - The Sidebar's Internet Explorer 11 components lead to errors, messages, and other issues when you had no Internet Explorer 11 installed. We've updated the Sidebar to use Microsoft Edge Chromium instead.
Warning
This is important if you're on Windows and use Acrolinx for FrameMaker. Windows users that are on Windows 8.1 or 10 need to download and install WebView 2 from Microsoft.
It doesn't apply to Windows 11 because WebView 2 is already installed.
-
Copy and Pasting the Acrolinx URL didn’t Work - There was a bug that didn’t allow you to copy and paste the Acrolinx URL into the Acrolinx Sidebar. We've fixed this, so you can more quickly sign in.
-
Some Character Strings Were Excluded from an Acrolinx Check - The conditional check for whitespace characters didn't work, which caused strange behavior in the check results. We've fixed this.
This is a service release to fix an issue that appeared when you updated to Adobe FrameMaker 16.0.2.
We recommend that you use:
-
Acrolinx Platform version 2020.02 or later.
-
FrameMaker 2019 (versions 15.x.x), FrameMaker 2020 (versions 16.x.x)
We’re excited to announce a new version of our Acrolinx for FrameMaker integration. In this release, you'll see improvements to extraction and how Acrolinx parses your documents. We've also fixed a handful of bugs.
Want to take advantage of these new improvements? Don’t forget to update your Content Profile.
We recommend that you use:
-
Acrolinx Platform 2019.08 or later
-
FrameMaker 2017, FrameMaker 2019, FrameMaker 2020
We now extract character formats in unstructured FrameMaker documents by adding additional information to the XML attribute for the charactertag. Once you configure this tag on the Acrolinx Platform, you can use it to create context-specific guidelines. This will let you extend more rule applications, which will improve your Acrolinx check results.
We've included more XML tags in our checks and provided a simple fallback approach in case Acrolinx doesn't identify a FrameMaker XML tag name. In other words: This release lets you check more of your content in FrameMaker.
You might've noticed that the GUI language for some FrameMaker menus changed after you installed the Acrolinx for FrameMaker integration into FrameMaker 2019. We've fixed this issue so your set language gets displayed.
Sidebar to Scorecard InconsistencyIn some cases, issues that you saw in the Sidebar didn't show up in the Scorecard. We've fixed this inconsistency. The Scorecard and Sidebar now display the same issues.
Check Selection Didn't Work ProperlySometimes you'd check a selection of text that included both text from a table and text above or below it. When you did this, the Check Selection feature acted funny. We've fixed this. Now, the structure around your selection won't change the check result.
