Oh, there's a blast from the past. In FM7 there was some issue that meant I had to open all the files in a book when saving as PDF. That was one of the incentives for putting all the chapters in a single .fm file. On Thu, Jan 9, 2020 at 8:06 AM Lin Sims wrote: > > Holding down Shift, not Ctrl.

I've never used a comment marker. I didn't even know they existed, but that's mostly because I don't use markers much. I should probably look into their functionality. For me, I just create a condition tag for comments because that makes it easy to find and edit comments. On Thu, Jan 9, 2020 at

Have you tried opening all the component files before you kick off the update book operation? If you don't do this, any kind of "informational" dialog like the infamous "missing fonts" message or "inconsistent conditions" or "inconsistent color definitions" messages will make the book update

My go-to is performing a MIF wash of the book. Adobe actually has a DLL for that which, for some reason, it doesn't include as part of the basic installation (see https://helpx.adobe.com/framemaker/kb/how-to-use-mifwash-utility-in-framemaker.html) . If that doesn't work, I start working my way
