Ken,
If the Archiver is the one Adobe posted at:
http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2011/07/create-a-book-packager-using-extendscript.html
There is a problem where a files are duplicated in the Insets folder and then a
second Insets folder is created within that folder. The xrefs then resolve to
the files in that folder. The solution is to redirect the xrefs to the files at
the root footer of the archive (as described below). If editing takes place in
the interim, you can have a frightful mess, I'd guess.
Here's a comment and the response I posted on that http:// page regarding the
problem:

Hi, thanks for this excellent script. A great time
saver. However I should report that it copies the referenced insets
twice: in the user specified archive directory then in the Insets
sub-directory. Can this be corrected easily? Thanks again.

It does more than that (and this is also a problem). It
also (at least at times), puts copies of files in a book into the Insets
folder and then uses those as the targets for cross references. I had
to delete these files, make mifs of the affected files in the main
directory and do a find/replace in the mifs:
find: <XRefSrcFile `Insets
replace: <XRefSrcFile `
Maybe a function to do this can be added to the script to fix this problem.

Subject: Broken x-refs after archiving
To: framers@lists.frameusers.com
Conditions:
·
FrameMaker
11.0 on Windows 7 platforms with Archive script downloaded and installed.
·
FrameMaker
source files located, completed and archived on network drive.
·
FrameMaker
book opened and member files highlighted but not opened (according to the
instructions that accompanied the archive script).
·
Then
File --> Utilities --> Archive
·
A
spot-check of various x-refs in the FrameMaker files in the archive folder for
the book show some but not all broken x-refs.
·
The
x-refs in the original FrameMaker book files remain OK and intact.
·
There
doesn't seem to be any pattern, except that the broken x-refs occur ONLY in the
archived FrameMaker files.
NOTE:
One of our other department writers just performed an archive test where the
book and member files were
located on and also archived onto her hard drive and the problem persists.
Is there only one archive plug-in/script out there (that is, the one we use),
or is there another one -- even for a fee?
