Re: Searching Framers archives (was RE: FrameMaker on Japanese OS)
Hi Richard, Thanks for the workarounds. You can use Google. Enter search string site:frameusers.com (sans quotes). Or you can browse the archives (by thread, subject, author, or date) at: http://lists.frameusers.com/pipermail/framers/ FWIW, I downloaded the archives to my Mac and searched them en masse using TextWrangler, a text editor. That said, a Google search for framemaker update site:frameusers.com turned up some posts about the 8.0.1 update, but nothing about the issue you mentioned. Maybe browsing the archives around the date of those posts will turn up something. Crazy really, it was only yesterday, but I cannot for the life of me remember the term I used to find that info. Tried 8.0.2, update, downloading, manually, updater... Still, it would be great to get proper searchable archives back online. Yahoo Groups work well. Incidentally, when I set up my first list using LISTSERV, I hacked together a Perl script to search the list archives. I was really pleased with myself when I worked out how to highlight the search term in red in the results :-) Paul ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.

RE: Problems when exporting to PDF from FM8
Erin Huff wrote: I have found a problem with exporting a FM8 book to PDF. When I export/save as PDF and then open the file in Acrobat I will usually find that some of my information (Headers, table rows, variables, etc...) are missing from my PDF, even though they are present in the FM8 file. I always update and save the book and all included files before exporting. I have tried exporting to PDF every single way I can from FM and it will not export all the information. I have the latest updates for FM8. Am using Distiller 7.0 and Acrobat Professional 7.0 The last time I tried to PDF I spend over thirty minutes trying to PDF and finally had to have a coworker PDF for me. Does anyone know of a way to solve this? Is your coworker successfully creating PDFs from the books that give you trouble? Then you need to analyze what the differences are between your setup and your coworker's. Are there any errors recorded in the log files? It could be a font problem. Go to Distiller's Adobe PDF Settings dialog, Fonts page, and make sure that it's set to embed fonts. And set When embedding fails to Cancel job. That way, if it's a missing (or unembeddable) font, at least you'll know. :-) HTH! Richard Richard G.

Check to see if you're running low on disk space on the drive/partition that holds your TEMP (or TMP) directory. On any drive/partition, for that matter. How much memory do you have? Have you made any changes to virtual memory settings? Check your paging file size and if it's custom (not system-managed), consider increasing it so that it's at least 1.5 times your physical memory. Or let the system manage it. Defrag your drive(s). Reboot. If none of those things help, you may have developed a hardware problem, such as failing or flaky memory. If you're comfortable mucking about in the case, try reseating your memory sticks and any cards you have. BTW, why are you printing to a PostScript file? If it's to create a PDF, you don't need to do it that way, but if you insist, in Print Setup, select the printer named Adobe PDF. No other PostScript printer is appropriate for creating PDFs, and if you're using clonescript (non-Adobe copy of PostScript) printers, that might cause who-knows-what kinds of problems. :-} HTH!

Linda and others: Anyone else having trouble getting this update to install? I've tried multiple times, including from Acrobat after completely shutting down my system and every time it says that it detects that FM is open and cannot install. At least twice, FM was definitely not open. I tried using the updater from FrameMaker while it was running. No good. Next time, when the updater started, I killed FM first, then continued. No good. Finally I poked around to find where the downloaded files were stored, hoping that I could just run a setup.exe or similar. Well, on my machine they are saved to C:\Documents and Settings\userName\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Updater5\Install. In this folder was a folder named framemaker801-mul (for version 8.0.1, right? Wrong). I deleted this folder, checked in Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) that there was no headless FrameMaker.exe process running, booted Acrobat, and ran the updater from that. Guess what? The framemaker801-mul/ folder was restored but at least the update ran to completion properly. (Adobe lurkers: should that be framemaker803-mul and does it matter anyway?)

Re: API documentation with references to Javadocs documentation
Hi Ron: I do sets that include both javadoc and API guides in FM/PDF all the time. The way I think of it is that the javadoc is a complete reference to the public API, kind of like a dictionary of all the classes and methods. The FM documentation is more like an encyclopedia. I usually call it a Developer's Guide. The FM documentation highlights the most important classes and methods, but maybe doesn't mention all the nuances of each (like, maybe it doesn't go into great detail about every parameter passed to the method). On the other hand, the FM documentation includes more general material not easily incorporated into the javadoc, such as the order in which methods ought to be called or guidelines about when to use one technique (set of classes/methods) vs. a different technique to implement particular use cases. To x-ref from the FM doc to the javadoc in the context of a section that discusses a particular class or method, I just say, For more information, see the javadoc. A developer ought to know how to go about finding a class or method in the javadoc. (Of course, you also need to make sure that the class/method is actually documented in the javadoc.) Hope this helps. -- Emily At 10:46 AM 5/13/2008 -0400, Ron Miller wrote: Hi: I have a JavaDocs reference.

Is your coworker successfully creating PDFs from the books that give you trouble? Then you need to analyze what the differences are between your setup and your coworker's. Are there any errors recorded in the log files? It could be a font problem. Go to Distiller's Adobe PDF Settings dialog, Fonts page, and make sure that it's set to embed fonts. And set When embedding fails to Cancel job. That way, if it's a missing (or unembeddable) font, at least you'll know. :-) HTH! Richard Richard G.

FrameMaker 8.0.3 Update Now Available via Adobe Updater
As an FYI (I don't know what you might be encountering), my update worked fine ... All I had to do was cleanly shut down FM (I do remember the prompt for that) after starting the update process going.

Out of Frame Memory message and crash
Hi, I have a problem which started today. When I generate a postscript file from a frame book file I get an "out of framemaker memory message", Framemaker then proceeds to display a serious error message, after which it crashes. This happens regardless of the postscript driver I use to print the file to. I am using XP with Frame 8 and the new 8.03 (8.0p276) update which I downloaded today. The book file I am working on has been fine up to today and I have not had any odd messages or crashes prior to now. Suggestions Please! Mulholland
Out of Frame Memory message and crash
Do you have lots of room on your hard drive for temporary files? If so, and if nothing else changed And if you're on a windows platform that supports restore points, I'd think about rolling back to a point before you applied the patch to see if that make a difference. And disabling automatic updates, if they're turned on. Art On Wed, May 14, 2008 at 3:28 PM, mulholland4 wrote: > Hi, > I have a problem which started today.

Check to see if you're running low on disk space on the drive/partition that holds your TEMP (or TMP) directory. On any drive/partition, for that matter. How much memory do you have? Have you made any changes to virtual memory settings? Check your paging file size and if it's custom (not system-managed), consider increasing it so that it's at least 1.5 times your physical memory. Or let the system manage it. Defrag your drive(s). Reboot. If none of those things help, you may have developed a hardware problem, such as failing or flaky memory. If you're comfortable mucking about in the case, try reseating your memory sticks and any cards you have. BTW, why are you printing to a PostScript file? If it's to create a PDF, you don't need to do it that way, but if you insist, in Print Setup, select the printer named Adobe PDF. No other PostScript printer is appropriate for creating PDFs, and if you're using "clonescript" (non-Adobe copy of PostScript) printers, that might cause who-knows-what kinds of problems. :-} HTH!

API documentation with references to Javadocs documentation
Hi Ron: I do sets that include both javadoc and API guides in FM/PDF all the time. The way I think of it is that the javadoc is a complete reference to the public API, kind of like a dictionary of all the classes and methods. The FM documentation is more like an encyclopedia. I usually call it a Developer's Guide. The FM documentation highlights the most important classes and methods, but maybe doesn't mention all the nuances of each (like, maybe it doesn't go into great detail about every parameter passed to the method). On the other hand, the FM documentation includes more general material not easily incorporated into the javadoc, such as the order in which methods ought to be called or guidelines about when to use one technique (set of classes/methods) vs. a different technique to implement particular use cases. To x-ref from the FM doc to the javadoc in the context of a section that discusses a particular class or method, I just say, "For more information, see the javadoc." A developer ought to know how to go about finding a class or method in the javadoc. (Of course, you also need to make sure that the class/method is actually documented in the javadoc.) Hope this helps. -- Emily At 10:46 AM 5/13/2008 -0400, Ron Miller wrote: >Hi: >I have a JavaDocs reference.
