Based on my experience, there is no DTD (on which an EDD would be based)
for MIL-STD 38784. There doesn't need to be. I expect that you'll be
required to conform to MIL-STD 2361 and 40051-1 or 40051-2 or both. For
2361, there is a DTD available. You can use
This sounds like a symptom of the network timing out as Frame sequentially
requests files to do the printing and each one has to be processed by the
computer's anti-virus programs as it's opened -- it comes up every now and
again and you can see similar stuff in the archives.

My take on your questions:
1. SnagIt from TechSmith, which is integrated into the FM interface. 15-30
seconds or so if you use automated naming.
2. No, you should take the time to do it right the first time.
3. Quality of the document has a direct relationship both to how customers

The printed, or PDF, of 38784 contains the DTD, in Appendix B I believe. If you
google for MIL-STD 38784 you should get a hit to AMCOM
(https://pubsweb.redstone.army.mil/DTD-FOSI/DTD-N-FOSI.html). They have a
modified version the 38784 DTD and FOSIs in one zip file.

I was referring to the base filename when renaming. PDF-HTML produces jpeg

To change the graphic format, jpeg or png, you would need a conversion tool.
