Re: FrameMaker 10 Crashes When Saving a Book with Conditional Text and TT Edits

[rebecca officer]

Hi Joseph 
 
Try the trial version of FM11. FM10 has crashes around conditional text for us, 
and we can't reproduce them in FM11. It might be a different bug, but worth a 
try.
 
If you aren't already doing this, a possible workaround in FM10 is to make sure 
you save the files before updating the book. 
 
The other day, I tried using track changes at the same time as our conditional 
text scheme. FM10 seemed to cope with having one condition plus track changes 
on a piece of text, but if I applied multiple conditions plus track changes, it 
didn't always display the track changes correctly. It didn't crash but it 
wasn't much use either. I was on a deadline so haven't investigated it 
properly, or tried it on FM11. But my at-a-glance conclusion was that, yep, 
conditional text and track changes are mutually exclusive for now.
 
Hopefully FM11 is better.
 
When I get time, I'll test it on FM11 and report the bug to Adobe if I find one.
 
Cheers
Rebecca


>>> Joseph Lorenzini  1/09/12 09:25 >>>
Hi All,

Until quite recently, I was the sole technical writer at my company. In the 
last few months, a new writer was hired on. To review the edits he made to the 
documentation, he turned on track text edits. In addition, he occasionally 
applied conditional text to new text that he wrote. This meant that the green 
TT conditional text is applied indicating new text AND conditional text is 
applied to that text. Before he did this, the FrameMaker book would update and 
save without a problem. I have had this book for years and it has rarely ever 
experienced a crash or corruption. After he did this, each time I update the 
book, FrameMaker would crash. The moment I removed the specific sections of 
text that have TT edits and conditional text applied, the crashes no longer 
occurred.

Has anyone seen anything like this or know how to work around this? Its really 
frustrating and a shame because I think this means that conditional text and TT 
edits are mutually exclusive and if you combine them you risk crashing 
FrameMaker.

Here's some relevant information for debugging the issue:

--the write and I are on machines with almost identical specs: Win 7 Enterprise 
64 bit, Solid State drives, 4 GB of RAM, Intel Core i5 CPU 
--the writer and i are on TCS 3.5.
--we are both using Framemaker 10
--we do not work off a network share. Instead we use SVN.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Joe

FrameMaker 11 in XML

[Robert Leif]

After reading the two interesting reviews of FrameMaker11, I still have two
questions. 

1)  Can I directly import elements from XML schemas, particularly, those
created in XSD (XML Schema Definition) language?

2)  Can I format my XML with CSS (Cascading Style Sheets)?

Thank you.

RE: Acrobat X Pro settings

[Dov Isaacs]

Chris,

There is no simple configuration file for Acrobat that can be copied between 
systems or between releases of Acrobat on the same system.

Configuration settings and preferences for the most part are stored in various 
registry settings (Windows) and plists (MacOS) that are not documented for the 
public, can be very system specific, and are subject to change without any 
notice.

As far as I know, there are no configuration settings that control whether how 
a file that has "markups" (annotation comments?) will be saved.

When you are annotating a particular page of a PDF file, you are adding content 
to the page, albeit simply annotation content and Acrobat considers the 
annotated page as changed. If you simply save the document using Ctrl+S, the 
changed pages' contents are added to the existing PDF file on disk and the page 
table is modified to reflect the new copies of the changed pages. The "old" 
pages remain on disk although the page table doesn't point to them anymore. 
This method of saving the PDF file results in very fast updates and minimizes 
the chances of data loss when saving minimal changes to a large PDF file. 
However, the file size keeps on growing and noticeably so if your annotations 
are very simple or few, but the pages are very complex with large amounts of 
underlying content.

In lieu of save with Ctrl+S, if you use save as with Shift+Ctrl+S (not reduced 
sized or optimized options), the entire PDF will be rewritten and the old, 
obsolete versions of the pages you annotated will no longer occupy disk space. 
This should solve your problem.

(In other words, there was nothing in the configuration of your laptop versus 
desktop installations that caused the file size discrepancy, but either how you 
saved the PDF file on one system versus another or the original page sizes of 
the particular pages you annotated on one system versus another would cause the 
file size discrepancy.)

Bye bye FrameMaker & Adobe

[Daniel Azuelos]

  Hello to all Frame users.

I'm a User of FrameMaker since version 2,
I'm now saying you godbye because of fatal deception:
- Adobe abandonned FrameMaker on MacOS X;
- Adobe abandonned FrameMaker on Solaris;
- Adobe didn't provide any equivalent software replacement;
- Adobe is still unable to provide professionnal software running on
  case sensitive filesystems (i.e. systems where you make the
  difference between Adobe and adobe): ex. InDesign on MacOS X
  doesn't install on a case sensitive file system.



For the ones who are using MacOS X and are involved in the fight against
any kind of malware, please consider using "case sensitive" file
systems as a safety rule.
You will make fail any ill conceived piece of software and most notably
any crapware.

Bye.

FrameMaker 10 Crashes When Saving a Book with Conditional Text and TT Edits

[Joseph Lorenzini]

Hi All,

Until quite recently, I was the sole technical writer at my company. In the
last few months, a new writer was hired on. To review the edits he made to
the documentation, he turned on track text edits. In addition, he
occasionally applied conditional text to new text that he wrote. This meant
that the green TT conditional text is applied indicating new text AND
conditional text is applied to that text. Before he did this, the
FrameMaker book would update and save without a problem. I have had this
book for years and it has rarely ever experienced a crash or corruption.
After he did this, each time I update the book, FrameMaker would crash. The
moment I removed the specific sections of text that have TT edits and
conditional text applied, the crashes no longer occurred.

Has anyone seen anything like this or know how to work around this?  Its
really frustrating and a shame because I think this means that conditional
text and TT edits are mutually exclusive and if you combine them you risk
crashing FrameMaker.

Here's some relevant information for debugging the issue:

--the write and I are on machines with almost identical specs: Win 7
Enterprise 64 bit, Solid State drives, 4 GB of RAM, Intel Core i5 CPU
--the writer and i are on TCS 3.5.
--we are both using Framemaker 10
--we do not work off a network share. Instead we use SVN.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Re: FrameMaker vs InDesign

[Robert Lauriston]

I currently use FrameMaker to single-source PDF, online help (with
RoboHelp), Word (with MIF2Go), text with layout (with MIF2Go and
Word), and XHTML (with MIF2Go).

I'm pretty fed up with FrameMaker 10 but InDesign's not among the
practical alternatives. What I'd really like is a copy of FrameMaker
8.

Sure is a shame that we're stuck on this poky old Intel architecture
instead of those screaming-fast PowerPC systems. I think I still have
some of that Apple / IBM horseshit in my files.

FM8? 9? > FM10 errors

[Robert Lauriston]

I'm updating a project that was last updated with FM8 or 9.

Updating the book or saving as PDF fails with these errors:

Could not open [book]TOC.fm, because it uses unavailable fonts.
FrameMaker will create a new version of [book]TOC.fm. If you save this
new version, you will overwrite the existing file. To use your
existing file, close the new version without saving it. Then open and
save the existing file in Document format. Finally, update the book
again.
Could not open [chapter].fm, because it uses unavailable fonts.
FrameMaker did not update the generated files because of errors such
as: Couldn’t open [chapter].fm

If I have all the chapter files open, there are no errors and it works fine.

Is there some way to get rid of the errors? The "Remember Missing Font
Names" setting has no effect.

RE: FrameMaker 11 Review

[Keith Soltys]

Good review Alan. It's the first one I've seen that seems like the reviewer 
actually used the program instead of just repeated a list of new features from 
Adobe's Reviewer's Guide.

I'll be holding off on this one, I think. I don't use structured Frame, and 
most of the improvements seem to be on that side. The object styles are a 
genuine improvement, but I don't use enough graphics in my documents to make it 
worthwhile upgrading just for that.

I am disappointed that they couldn't clean up some of the longstanding issues 
with the interface. For example, let us increase the font size in marker dialog 
box entry fields. Or provide alternatives to the standard marker text symbol - 
expandable markers in place like IXgen has, for example. Or an outliner in 
unstructured mode - Word has had this forever. Make the Authoring view work in 
unstructured mode - Word has that too.

I could go on but you get the idea.

Re: Graphics import problems

[Chris Coggins]

Yes, there is, unless someone here can explain how to link to the graphics
stored on a Sharepoint 2007 server, which we've tried. The network links
disappear when the document is saved, forcing frame to look for the
graphics on the local drives, where they do not reside. If you know how to
make Sharepoint-linked graphics retain the network link location so that
they refresh every time the graphic has changed, I would appreciate the
guidance.

OT: Acrobat X Pro settings

[Chris Coggins]

Would anyone happen to know how to copy the Acrobat X Pro settings from a
pc to a laptop, all things being equal (same os, graphics display, etc)

The problem prompting this request is that the newly installed Acrobat X
Pro on the laptop does not save PDFs in the same way as the one on the pc.
Specifically, when I open a pdf and add markups to it in the laptop
version, the resulting saved file is huge. The same activity on the version
installed on the pc does not  substantially increase the filesize.

Filesizes are an issue when working over a crowded network and I need to
find a way to make the marked-up pdfs much smaller without having to go
through the addition step of saving-as reduced file size. I want to be able
to just save the document in the same manner as was occurring on the pc.

I also noticed a very similar question was posted at the adobe forums last
summer and noone has replied to it. Hopefully someone here might know the
answer to get the same behavior out of a new Acrobat X Pro install as was
occurring on a different computer.

Thanks,
Chris

RE: How to reset Frame's Default Configuration - Resolved

[Thomas, Lynn]

Thank you to everyone who replied.  Originally, when I opened the Variables 
panel from the Special menu, selected my user variable then clicked the Edit 
tool, the fields in the Add/Edit dialog box were completely blank.  I was able 
to add a new user variable just fine, but when I would open the new variable to 
edit,  again the fields were blank.  That is what led me to believe that this 
was something wrong in my Frame configuration.   When I opened the Variables 
panel via the Window menu however, (thank you Rick!)  I am now able to edit 
again.  Is this a bug in Frame 9??

*All* user variables? How? Via Special > Variable, you'd have to do them one at

When you go to Special > Variable, and in the Variable dialog, select a user 
variable and click Edit Definition, does the Edit User Variable dialog open? 
IOW, what step in editing user variables are you unable to do?

That's because there isn't anything variable-related in maker.ini, and there's 
no variable-related dumb change that you could have made to FM. Can you edit 
the file? (It's possible to accidentally put a file into read-only mode, but 
then you can't edit the text either.)

Whoa, you're way off base here -- mif2rtf.ini is a Mif2Go config file, not an 
FM config file. It governs the conversion process when you use Mif2Go to export 
an FM file to Word.

Re-installsheimer's disease, as Dov Isaacs calls it. Your problem isn't an FM 
install/config problem. But I think you need to clarify exactly what steps you 
take and what doesn't work before anyone can help you.

Re: OT: Windows 7 operating systems, Windows Explorer failing to display files

[Robert Lauriston]

Did you refresh the display for the directory? That has always fixed
those problems for me.

Bye bye FrameMaker & Adobe

[Daniel Azuelos]

  Hello to all Frame users.

I'm a User of FrameMaker since version 2,
I'm now saying you godbye because of fatal deception:
- Adobe abandonned FrameMaker on MacOS X;
- Adobe abandonned FrameMaker on Solaris;
- Adobe didn't provide any equivalent software replacement;
- Adobe is still unable to provide professionnal software running on
  case sensitive filesystems (i.e. systems where you make the
  difference between Adobe and adobe): ex. InDesign on MacOS X
  doesn't install on a case sensitive file system.



For the ones who are using MacOS X and are involved in the fight against
any kind of malware, please consider using "case sensitive" file
systems as a safety rule.
You will make fail any ill conceived piece of software and most notably
any crapware.

Bye.
