A strange 'debug' message, while using FrameMaker 10
Does anyone on the list ever receive strange error messages from FrameMaker? I was in the middle of importing PDF files to layout in a structured FrameMaker document into FrameMaker 10.0.2.419 [or more accurately, 10.0.3.419] and I happened to receive the attached error message Debug assertion failed, with reference to: F:\dd\vctools\vc7libs\ship\atlmfc\src\atl\atls\atldebugapi.cpp I don't even have Visual C++ installed on my machine! Can anyone enlighten me with the meaning of it? TIA // Simon BUCH attachment: Visual C++ Debug Library error.png___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley
Dear Framers: I wonder if anyone out there has experienced this. I upgraded windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit. To do this I had to do a clean reinstall on the C: drive which meant reinstalling every single bit of software including TC4. No drives were reassigned or re-named. Everything went well -- and three days later -- I had my new 64 bit machine with 8 gigs of Ram. All this was done to facilitate one big 10,000 page annual pdf project. Finally I opened the book of books. Everything opened well but every single graphic (all referenced, all under 250kb) was now referenced to the H: where the FM texts reside. However, all the graphics files really reside on the G: drive. So now I have 1,000 graphics files which are mis-referenced. My questions are How can I restore the proper drive letter in object properties? How did this happen? Has anybody experienced this? Is there anything else I can do Perhaps if I copy the G: directories to H: the problems will go away. Any ideas?

Fm 11: reformatting C: destroys the path of referenced graphics if referenced graphics are on a different drive...
Is this the cause of my nightmare? When you import by reference with File Import File, the path to the text or graphic can be either absolute or relative. A relative path begins at a current folder or one folder up the hierarchy and specifies the file's location from there. An absolute path begins at the root of the file system (the topmost folder) and fully specifies the file's location from there. Following are two examples of absolute paths. d:\Graphics\Mountain.gif \\DocServer\Graphics\Mountain.gif FrameMaker stores relative paths whenever possible so that it can find an imported file even when you move both the document and the source file-as long as you keep the files in the same relative locations. If you save the document in a different folder, FrameMaker adjusts the paths of the imported files accordingly. However, if the path to the imported file traverses the root (the topmost folder) of the file system, FrameMaker uses absolute paths that begins at the root. To ensure that FrameMaker uses relative paths, make sure that it does not have to traverse the root to locate the file. Rob ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

RE: FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley
I don't think this will work because Rob already has an H: drive, which is where his FM files are. You can't assign two drives (or two partitions) to the same letter. I think his only option is moving the directories to the drive letter that FrameMaker is expecting to use. But I'm not sure because I have *never* kept files for any FrameMaker project in more than one partition because I know that this practice forces FrameMaker to use absolute paths to the referenced files rather than relative paths. As much as possible (and it's not always possible when using any files that are shared among multiple documents) I have always kept all files for any given document in subdirectories within the same branch of my directory structure. -Fred Ridder Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 15:21:36 -0400 From: jow...@magma.ca To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley You may be able to change the letters assigned to your drives.

Re: FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley
I recall that when I've had Frame files (that had been moved) looking for graphics in a certain directory and couldn't find them, if I pointed the first one to the correct directory, it found the rest in that same directory. Now, caveats being that in my case, the frame files and the graphics files are both on sub-directories of the same network drive name, and all the graphics files are in one folder, so I don't know if this works if it has to navigate to the root of a different drive, as Fred references below. -Lise On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 2:36 PM, Fred Ridder docu...@hotmail.com wrote: I don't think this will work because Rob already has an H: drive, which is where his FM files are.

OT: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only
I think my response is far from the mission of this forum but the statement below just hooked me, it is also a nice diversion from the daily work to read all the responses, and I bet our thoughts trickle back into Adobe. A previous post said: The problem with customers is that they cost money to do business with. Am I taking this out of context, or should I have it turned into a banner that hangs near the front door or cash register. The cost of customer management has a negative effect on share value. I think it depends on a companies mission statement and core values. Are they still passionate about the product or service, or is has it become just about the money. I realize both forces at play and balance is required to sustain business. A new business model is emerging. I've read a lot of pros and cons on this thread. Some will prove to be real, adjustments will be made, business will grow, decline or maybe fail. In the perspective of things unfolding from the creativity of the cosmos, I see this as another iteration towards cloud computing, but rather than stepping to total cloud computing like Google Docs/Drive where we don't have the software at all, it's just cloud software delivery for now. It is a systemic result that emerges from individuals trying to make isolated business decisions based on, or building on, ideas they see elsewhere. I'm actually more interested in watching the open source concept grow into an entirely new economy where the passion is about the product and the money comes from some other offshoot, or like someone wrote about Oxygen where the academic license allows some small scale usage while the money comes in from other larger sources. I think the economy is going to change in the next 50 years in ways we can't even image due to the connectiveness of the internet and access to free and low cost entertainment, education, information, apps, and services. I bet the large companies that highly control software versions like a large aerospace firm I used to work for, medical device companies that Craig mentioned, or other safety critical product companies, are going to be busy figuring out how to work in this new model.

RE: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only
Dear Rick, please allow one note about the print engine. FrameMaker is still using the old Distiller engine (at least version 10 does). I recently had to switch a workflow from Indesign to FrameMaker and found it annoying that Indesign would produce a valid PDF right away whereas with FrameMaker I have to correct all PDFs in Acrobat to produce PDF/X3 with color profile and valid bleed box. And as transparency is not fully supported via the Distiller engine, the actual PDF/X4 format cannot be produced (the favorite format for one of our printing service companies). So finally, I came to think that not FrameMaker, but Indesign may have one of the best print engines - at least more flexible and more up to date than FrameMaker's. Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin Rick Quatro: Here is my suggestion on where to start. I would like a light-weight editor where the user could apply styles, insert tables, images, etc. The styles would be mapped to a schema so that the user could output XML. Then a full copy of FrameMaker could be used as print engine. You would set up a structured application in full FrameMaker, and import the XML for print, etc. The reasons I favor this approach: 1) FrameMaker is currently the best print engine on the market for producing high-quality print/PDF output. 2) With a light-weight editor, you would only need one copy of FrameMaker for output. The rest of the writers/editors could use the light-weight editor. 3) You could easily exchange content with users of other XML editors as long as everyone is using the same schema. 4) This is a realistic first step to a FrameMaker replacement. Anything more complex may be too ambitious and not get too far.

Re: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only
I was contacted by the reseller that my company uses earlier today and it turns out that only it will be either all or nothing, no picking-and-choosing. We here use FM, Acrobat Professional and may be getting into InDesign in the future, but we have no need -- and do not see a need in the future -- for all of the other stuff. And it appears, from an e-mail from my reseller, that we may be SOL regarding upgrades to our currently licensed software in the not-too-distant future: · * 15 new CC apps including Adobe Photoshop CC, Adobe InDesign CC, Adobe Illustrator CC and more will be made available to all CCT users by June17th · *Adobe has confirmed any future enhancements for their creative products will be available through their CCT offering only (boldfacing mine) · * CCT Packager available for centralized IT deployment · * New LOWER price for your additional copies effective NOW thru 8/31/2013.

I do wonder whether the accountants that run large corporates like Adobe understand how important their software is to the countless thousands of freelances who have to scrape every last penny to buy it - but at least then they own something, not vapor that goes phut as soon as you stop paying for it. For the last two decades FrameMaker, Illustrator, Acrobat and Dreamweaver have been the rocks underpinning what I do. I'm far less sure about the future, though. -- Steve [somewhat aghast] ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as dave.st...@gdc4s.com. Send list messages to framers@lists.frameusers.com.

Re: FM8 and Win8 (Was: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only)
Lea, I'm using an even older version of Frame; Frame 6.0p405 and have upgraded to Window 8 ( albeit without a touch screen monitor). Frame 6.0 works fine and I have not seen any interface or other problems. O do, however, use the compatibility feature of Windows to launch Frame under Windows XP.

The clause you're quoting means that If the currently installed and licensed version is an update or upgrade, Adobe has no obligation to provide the support for the earlier versions.

Re: Frame 11 on MacBook Pro?
Hi Kristy, I have been stuck with a MacBook Pro since starting a new job in November. Until last week, I ran FM11 pretty much without incident within a VirtualBox Win7 VM. But the VM was confined to a single screen, and I hated jumping through the looking-glass from Mac to Windows and back for different things. Finally at the end of last week I threw it all away and set the Mac up with BootCamp. Now I boot into Windows and I never see the Mac stuff anymore. I should have done this half a year ago!

Re: FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley
Yes, you should only have to do the remapping once per chapter even if the graphics files are on a different drive ... if all the graphics are in a single folder. If they aren't, you have to do it once per chapter per folder. If you've got lots of graphics folders, that's a right pain. If possible, I'd move all the graphics into one folder. If your graphics' source folder changes multiple times in a file, FM will try to get you to pick the source folder for each graphic in turn. It's quicker to point the first missing graphic to the correct location (say folder1), then skip the rest of the missing graphics. FM will fix all references to folder1. Then save the file, close it, reopen it, and repeat for folder2 etc. Cheers Rebecca Lise Bible rentagoodb...@gmail.com 15/05/13 08:12 I recall that when I've had Frame files (that had been moved) looking for graphics in a certain directory and couldn't find them, if I pointed the first one to the correct directory, it found the rest in that same directory. Now, caveats being that in my case, the frame files and the graphics files are both on sub-directories of the same network drive name, and all the graphics files are in one folder, so I don't know if this works if it has to navigate to the root of a different drive, as Fred references below. -Lise On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 2:36 PM, Fred Ridder docu...@hotmail.com wrote: I don't think this will work because Rob already has an H: drive, which is where his FM files are. You can't assign two drives (or two partitions) to the same letter. I think his only option is moving the directories to the drive letter that FrameMaker is expecting to use. But I'm not sure because I have *never* kept files for any FrameMaker project in more than one partition because I know that this practice forces FrameMaker to use absolute paths to the referenced files rather than relative paths. As much as possible (and it's not always possible when using any files that are shared among multiple documents) I have always kept all files for any given document in subdirectories within the same branch of my directory structure. -Fred Ridder Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 15:21:36 -0400 From: jow...@magma.ca To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley You may be able to change the letters assigned to your drives.

Re: Frame 11 on MacBook Pro?
Hi, guys! Thanks for the input! Update is that I have downloaded and installed Service Pack 3 for my Windows XP, deleted all previous attempts at downloading Frame, and re-downloaded the trial using Firefox. I made sure i was strictly on a Windows side (no coherence). Result is still no Frame. I tried to ask the online support at Adobe, but he took way too long to respond (and had to catch a flight). I'll try again when I get back home (even though my trial clock is ticking). Making it hard to rationalize the idea of purchasing this on my own dime. As much as I love Frame, I may have to move to a different paradigm. Truly appreciate all the input!

RE: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only
Hi Tino, I get what you are saying. Maybe instead of print engine I should use the term layout engine. In my opinion, the whole EDD concept for formatting XML in FrameMaker is very powerful and accessible. I don't think there is anything quite as good in the XML world, especially if you need quality print and PDF output. Thanks for the feedback. Rick From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Heiko Haida Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 2:11 PM To: Framers Subject: RE: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only Dear Rick, please allow one note about the print engine. FrameMaker is still using the old Distiller engine (at least version 10 does). I recently had to switch a workflow from Indesign to FrameMaker and found it annoying that Indesign would produce a valid PDF right away whereas with FrameMaker I have to correct all PDFs in Acrobat to produce PDF/X3 with color profile and valid bleed box. And as transparency is not fully supported via the Distiller engine, the actual PDF/X4 format cannot be produced (the favorite format for one of our printing service companies). So finally, I came to think that not FrameMaker, but Indesign may have one of the best print engines - at least more flexible and more up to date than FrameMaker's. Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin Rick Quatro: Here is my suggestion on where to start. I would like a light-weight editor where the user could apply styles, insert tables, images, etc. The styles would be mapped to a schema so that the user could output XML. Then a full copy of FrameMaker could be used as print engine. You would set up a structured application in full FrameMaker, and import the XML for print, etc. The reasons I favor this approach: 1) FrameMaker is currently the best print engine on the market for producing high-quality print/PDF output. 2) With a light-weight editor, you would only need one copy of FrameMaker for output. The rest of the writers/editors could use the light-weight editor. 3) You could easily exchange content with users of other XML editors as long as everyone is using the same schema. 4) This is a realistic first step to a FrameMaker replacement. Anything more complex may be too ambitious and not get too far.

Thanks. Those are the corporate resellers I was referring to previously. The retail reseller channel does not exist anymore. It was that channel I referred to when I said that they are too expensive to maintain and why Adobe has gone direct to the market. The added value is worked out in terms of training and specific industry support.

FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley
Dear Framers: I wonder if anyone out there has experienced this. I upgraded windows 7 32 bit to 64 bit. To do this I had to do a clean reinstall on the C: drive which meant reinstalling every single bit of software including TC4. No drives were reassigned or re-named. Everything went well -- and three days later -- I had my new 64 bit machine with 8 gigs of Ram. All this was done to facilitate one big 10,000 page annual pdf project. Finally I opened the book of books. Everything opened well but every single graphic (all referenced, all under 250kb) was now referenced to the H: where the FM texts reside. However, all the graphics files really reside on the G: drive. So now I have 1,000 graphics files which are mis-referenced. My questions are How can I restore the proper drive letter in object properties? How did this happen? Has anybody experienced this? Is there anything else I can do Perhaps if I copy the G: directories to H: the problems will go away. Any ideas? Rob Rob Shell Windows Seven 64 bit TCS 4 CS4 4 GB RAM 3 TB hd

Fm 11: reformatting C: destroys the path of referenced graphics if referenced graphics are on a different drive...
Is this the cause of my nightmare? When you import by reference with File > Import > File, the path to the text or graphic can be either absolute or relative. A relative path begins at a current folder or one folder up the hierarchy and specifies the file's location from there. An absolute path begins at the root of the file system (the topmost folder) and fully specifies the file's location from there. Following are two examples of absolute paths. d:\Graphics\Mountain.gif \\DocServer\Graphics\Mountain.gif FrameMaker stores relative paths whenever possible so that it can find an imported file even when you move both the document and the source file-as long as you keep the files in the same relative locations. If you save the document in a different folder, FrameMaker adjusts the paths of the imported files accordingly. However, if the path to the imported file traverses the root (the topmost folder) of the file system, FrameMaker uses absolute paths that begins at the root. To ensure that FrameMaker uses relative paths, make sure that it does not have to traverse the root to locate the file. Rob
FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley
I don't think this will work because Rob already has an H: drive, which is where his FM files are. You can't assign two drives (or two partitions) to the same letter. I think his only option is moving the directories to the drive letter that FrameMaker is expecting to use. But I'm not sure because I have *never* kept files for any FrameMaker project in more than one partition because I know that this practice forces FrameMaker to use absolute paths to the referenced files rather than relative paths. As much as possible (and it's not always possible when using any files that are shared among multiple documents) I have always kept all files for any given document in subdirectories within the same branch of my directory structure. -Fred Ridder > Date: Tue, 14 May 2013 15:21:36 -0400 > From: jowens at magma.ca > To: framers at lists.frameusers.com > Subject: Re: FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: > nightmare alley > > You may be able to change the letters assigned to your drives.

FrameMaker 11 and referenced graphics pointing to wrong drive: nightmare alley
I recall that when I've had Frame files (that had been moved) looking for graphics in a certain directory and couldn't find them, if I pointed the first one to the correct directory, it found the rest in that same directory. Now, caveats being that in my case, the frame files and the graphics files are both on sub-directories of the same network drive name, and all the graphics files are in one folder, so I don't know if this works if it has to navigate to the "root" of a different drive, as Fred references below. -Lise On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 2:36 PM, Fred Ridder wrote: > I don't think this will work because Rob already has an H: drive, which is > where his FM files are.

Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only
Hi Tino, I get what you are saying. Maybe instead of "print engine" I should use the term "layout engine". In my opinion, the whole EDD concept for formatting XML in FrameMaker is very powerful and accessible. I don't think there is anything quite as good in the XML world, especially if you need quality print and PDF output. Thanks for the feedback. Rick From: framers-bounces at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Heiko Haida Sent: Monday, May 13, 2013 2:11 PM To: Framers Subject: RE: Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only Dear Rick, please allow one note about the "print engine". FrameMaker is still using the old Distiller engine (at least version 10 does). I recently had to switch a workflow from Indesign to FrameMaker and found it annoying that Indesign would produce a valid PDF right away whereas with FrameMaker I have to correct all PDFs in Acrobat to produce PDF/X3 with color profile and valid bleed box. And as transparency is not fully supported via the Distiller engine, the actual PDF/X4 format cannot be produced (the favorite format for one of our printing service companies). So finally, I came to think that not FrameMaker, but Indesign may have one of the best "print engines" - at least more flexible and more up to date than FrameMaker's. Best regards - Tino H. Haida, Berlin Rick Quatro: Here is my suggestion on where to start. I would like a light-weight editor where the user could apply styles, insert tables, images, etc. The styles would be mapped to a schema so that the user could output XML. Then a full copy of FrameMaker could be used as "print engine". You would set up a structured application in full FrameMaker, and import the XML for print, etc. The reasons I favor this approach: 1) FrameMaker is currently the best "print engine" on the market for producing high-quality print/PDF output. 2) With a light-weight editor, you would only need one copy of FrameMaker for output. The rest of the writers/editors could use the light-weight editor. 3) You could easily exchange content with users of other XML editors as long as everyone is using the same schema. 4) This is a realistic "first step" to a FrameMaker replacement. Anything more complex may be too ambitious and not get too far. Rick Quatro Carmen Publishing Inc. 585-283-5045 rick at frameexpert.com -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Corporate madness - Adobe software to be subscription only
MadCap's original impetus was to create a successor to RoboHelp, which at the time looked like it had been abandoned by its then-owner Macromedia.
