Hi everyone, FM8, structured XML, DocBook 4.2 (I know, I know. Not my idea, but an OEM customer requires it). WinXP Pro 4 GB RAM 160 GB HDD
We're trying to import an XML file into FM8 but FM crashes. The file includes 750 topics that are imported into an FM book as mini-chapter files. They will eventually become topics in RH via TCS. However, FM crashes at about 250 files (repeatable). Restarting FM and/or rebooting the system has no effect. We thought at first that there might be a limit on the number of chapters that can be added to a book. But the Adobe Tech Note at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/310/310864.html says no, although there may be a practical limit that is dependent on RAM and disk space. TechNote Maximum Number of Files in an Adobe FrameMaker Book Ratings:0 FrameMaker does not limit the number of files you can place in a generated book. Adobe has tested placing several hundred files in a book without consequence. Though you can create a book of this size, generating or updating the book requires enough memory and disk space to open and save every file. I searched the net and the Adobe site but could not find any informatrion related to this problem. If anyone has any experience with this or knows of a tech note or other Adobe article that might provide an answer, I would really appreciate the help. Thanks lots.
