Frame 9 Crashing - Can't Create PDFs

FM 9 Version: 9.0p255 Unstructured OS: Windows 7, 64 bit I have no idea what's going on, but I'm on deadline for release (naturally) and Frame 9 has suddenly become very unstable during PDF creation. I generally create PDFs with Print Book and distilling to PDF. But I'm getting crash after cras

Hi Wim Thanks very much! I’m impressed. I’ll have to think about the restriction of each step having exactly one cmd and one info element. That could be good for us – forcing us to keep our procedures simple. Cheers Rebecca From: Wim Hooghwinkel - idtp [mailto:w...@idtp.eu] Sent: Wednesday, 2

Microsoft’s problem? – If you mean that FrameMaker utilises a near-obsolete Windows API that’s been around since the Windows 3.0 (or something like that), and Adobe (despite charging us for half a dozen expensive “new versions” in the intervening years) haven’t reauthored their software yet to w
