I agree with Frank. I have used Virtual Box for years and it can definitely
ease the transition to a new OS.

Hi All -

Regarding the various "breakages" in Windows versions for a given FM
feature...

There is one solution that could be permanent or accessed "in case of
emergency": use an emulator. That is, run a virtual version of the desired
OS inside the OS version you're forced to use.

I've been using Oracle's "VirtualBox" emulator for several years now, and
there are other emulators out there as well. You can run just about anything
inside of anything. You can have a measure of communication between the two
environments. (I can copy and paste between environments, for example, and
also elect to access host system hardware, such as USB and ethernet ports.
You can also mount host file systems from within the virtual machine.)

In my case I have some very old (but vital) custom business applications
that only run in XP or older -- but it all lives on a
Win7 machine.

Recoding those old database apps to run in a newer OS, along with importing
all that old data, would be prohibitively expensive. Running the old apps in
an emulator costs next to nothing and no old code need be disturbed.

So, while I haven't checked, it's quite likely you could run a Win 7
emulation hosted by Win10 -- all while sidestepping the Win10 problems.

It's pretty slick. Install Virtualbox on the host machine; this brings up a
window that *is* a machine that will run the OS you really want to use.
Install the desired OS in the virtual machine and away you go.

Our testing (so far) indicates this is only an issue with SVG. So far we've
verified that Visio and JPG files do not cause a crash in FM 2017. We don't
have 2015 so I can't give you any information on that, sorry. :(

[Framers] Save as PDF with Windows 10 and FM 2015

2018-09-10 Thread Norton, Michael 
Looks like I will soon be required to move to Windows 10. I am currently on 
Windows 7 and am using FrameMaker 2015.

Does this problem also affect FM 2015?

I do not use .SVG files in my FrameMaker documents, but rather .PNG file.

Thanks.
