FM 8 crashes again and again
We've been on Frame 8 for nearly a year now and it's very stable in our environment (Win XP and 2000). In fact, I can't really remember any crashes or lock-ups.

FM 8 crashes again and again
I just counted. My Framemaker 8 crashed more than 80 times since June last year. Framemaker 7 was so stable and robust. It happens when I update the book, generate pdfs and often I cannot see action that should cause the crash. Do you experience the same? Is FM 9 more stable?

Re: FM 8 crashes again and again
Hi Verner, I didn't count, but I have the same experience. Indeed, FM7 was A LOT more stable and robust. I haven't really put FM 9 to the test for production work yet. I assume the Adobe folks are also monitoring this list, let's hope they've listened to the users. FrameMaker has always been renowned for its stability. I hope it will stay that way.

Re: FM 8 crashes again and again
On my systems, 8 is more stable than 7 was, especially on book actions. 9 is also fine. Given others' experiences, I'd guess that your problems are caused by one or more things in your environment, but you didn't provide any details. If you provide some details on your system (FM and Acrobat versions, OS, RAM, temp space) and your environment (files local or on a server, type of graphics and imported by reference or copied, and so on) I'm sure the usual suspects would be happy to generate some things to look at.

RE: FM 8 crashes again and again
Fair enough I include my system details below. I suspect that my problem has to do with the Framemaker source files as the rest is unchanged from FM version 7.2 apart from my Windows Service pack 3.

Re: FM 8 crashes again and again
Verner, If I was going to pick one thing to play with to see I could change the crash behaviour, it would be the text insets inside tables on master pages. That's the only thing that strikes me as possibly hard to process in your set up from the info you provided. I haven't used insets in tables myself, even in body pages. Unless you've turned updates Off on those insets, I think they'd be constantly trying to update themselves, possibly whenever a new body page is generated from them or they're otherwise referenced by the program. And because the insets are likely to be on a network location, there's an additional possibility of a network delay or timeout interrupting the process. Updating masters may also be the problem when you force an override to the layout by changing text container properties. To play with that idea a little bit, you might try making a copy of your working files and converting the text insets to text, so no updating is required. Then work with that copy a bit to see what happens. Just a thought. Cheers, Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com ...
