I know this is NOT what you asked, but I would absolutely consider upgrading to the latest version of FrameMaker.   While it certainly is nice to have found a workflow that works, my experience has been that the downside to this, is that one stops being creative and keeping up with new demands for publishing.  Keep up with the times, is my advice 🙂   ...

I very, very rarely save documents under a new name.  Next to never. And books only when I absolutely have to. I never use the undo history.  Regarding InDesigns book file, it has an annoying tendency to insist on updating everything whenever you move files around in the book. And the update process can not be cancelled. While you can export to HTML5 on a per document basis, the book can not be exported to html5. As far as I know, that is. I believe the publish panel in FrameMaker is actually excellent. One can start multiple publishing process at the same time, like HTML5/Epub and PDF. AND you can save the publish settings into a settings file. I really wish, though, that somebody would realize that "Print" is ALSO publishing and put a print option into the Publish panel too and remove it entirely from the File Menu.  ... View more

My main gripe with InDesign is mainly speed and the lack of fast book handling. InDesign is slow when the number of pages rise. And the book feature is a mess. That said, I sure wish FM had some of the good features of InDesign like guidelines, better color management, better font support and better print engine. ... View more

I'm always confused with this... ▶ U+25B6 Black Right-pointing Triangle ▸ U+25B8 Black Right-pointing Small Triangle These will work in Arial. But if you switch to Aptos, which is the default font of Word, you will nothing.  I believe Aptos is a unicode font and I would expect it to conform to the standard like Arial. But that does not seem to happen. Why is that? ... View more

Are you adding text in the "File info" section in the FrameMaker documents?  I am not sure that is the fix in this instance, but I have often used it to make the documents name work properly in HTML5 exports. ... View more

Regarding sending FrameMaker files to other people...  I always use Frameexperts "ArchiveES" script. When run, it will create a backup of the entire FrameMaker project along with two neat folders for linked graphics and text insets. The absolute beauty of this approach is that the Framemaker files can opened at the recipient with all links pointing to the two new folders. This is also an excellent method for getting a grip on a project which may have grown a little too many links to all sorts of places. ... View more

Thanks for your prompt feedback @Matt-Tech Comm Tools  and @Winfried Reng I eventually did manage to strangle the odd font messages by limiting the access to only the right fonts. The other message still pops up once in a while. I suspect it has to do with the files being originally mac files from mid nineties. 🙂   ... View more

You can find the file names and locations by generating a list of references. In the Book file choose Insert->List of->References Choos "Imported Graphics" This will generate a file with the comple URL's of the imported graphics. If you like, you can add other parameters like page number etc.   ... View more

I am not sure why you can not use the reference pages for the formatting? When  you write "chronological order" - do you actually mean sorting by the time the marker has been created or updated? Or do you merely mean a sorting in the order of appearance in the manuscript? ... View more

The small example I showed above, is from the reference pages of a List Of (subject) Markers.  You can accomplish the desired for formatting by applying character tags to the reference pages. Not in the markers, though - that is true ... View more

Thank you @frameexpert ! Can't figure it out. Seems like FrameMaker does not delete PDF settings properly from the document when the settings are turned off. Right now, that is the suspect.  PDF imposes some sort of structure in connection with the para styles and I suppose that might trigger a crash when XLIFF export picks the document apart and imposes another structure. Merely guesswork, though 🙂  ... View more
