Once fast, now the Share Review preparation process takes a very long time

The PDF shared review process has been working great until recently. Now, it hangs up with the message "Status: Saving the shared review-enabled PDF file ..." displayed. If I touch this message, I get another "Acrobat is not responding" dialog. If I let the process continue for a very long

On Win XP and now Win 7, I use the Windows Character Map (Win7 - Start >> Accessories >> System Tools) to find the character. You can copy and paste into FM (6 or 9 that I know of) or the Windows Character Map gives the ALT sequence that can be entered into FM. Richard -- next part

FrameMaker 10 and 9 coexist?

I currently have TCS2 (FrameMaker 9). I am seriously considering upgrading to TCS3 (FrameMaker 10), However, many of the people that I work with will continue using FrameMaker 9. Can FM9 and FM10 users work on the same document with having to go through a FM10 "save as" FM9 limitation?

Changing image file linked to --- framers Digest, Vol 57, Issue 13

This works great. I've done it for my ever changing world of software screen shots with great success. But, you have to make sure the new graphic is the same size and resolution as the old graphic. That is, if the old graphic was 3x5 inches at 300 dpi, then the new graphic has to be 3x5 at 300

Graphics quality - Mif2Go

Mathieu While I've got the latest version of Mif2Go, I've not used it in quite awhile since I no longer have the requirement to produce HTML docs. So, I'm in a memory fog here. Back when I first started to use Mif2Go to product HTML docs, I was not happy with the quality of the graphics in my

I think the new interface is awesome. Much easier to use. Much faster. Much more intuitive. I'm not having any of the problems you describe. I run dual screens. Now, I can have all my pods, lists, etcetera in the right screen, and have the whole book and doc displayed in my center screen. I'd

9.0.2 Upgrade problem

Win XP on a Dell workstation. FM9 (TCS2, actually). Since my FM9 Updater does not work, I'm trying to download the patches from Adobe.com. I've been trying off/on for the past few days. 9.0.1 downloaded and installed fine (9.0p230). 9.0.2 downloaded a corrupt 10.8 MB (should be 21.6 MB) file.

FrameMaker Patch (9.0p250) is now available

The updater in my TCS2 FM9 does not work. Clicking Help > Updates yields nothing. I tried the 9.0p250 link sent by Mr. Jacquez. The 9.0.3 update downloaded OK, but it will not install because my FM version is wrong. Looking at the Adobe Updates for FM9, I see 9.0.1, 9.0.2, 9.03. Since my FM9
