FM 8.0.3 patch RECALLED!

Anybody who has installed the 8.0.3 patch should uninstall it (use the Add/Remove Programs from your Control panel).

Here's a note from the FM product manager:

FrameMaker 8.0.3 patch is NOT available through Adobe Updater anymore.

Unfortunately, an error has crept in with this recent patch 8.0.3 (p276). This error may cause deletion of cross-reference markers when show/hide operations are performed on conditional text.


With due apologies, we wish to inform you that well provide a fix in a week for


customers who have already applied 8.0.3 (p276)
customers who are still on 8.0.2 (p273)


Thanks for your co-operation



Regards

Mahesh K Gupta

Product Manager Adobe FrameMaker

    In addition to the problems with cross-reference markers, it seems that Variables are affected as well. I use WebWorks ePublisher Pro 9.2 build 10315 to convert my FM8 documents to CHM or other formats. After applying this patch, the variables now appear blank in ePublisher Pro and in the output.

    I tried uninstalling the patch and that did not work. I saved my document as FM7.2 and ran it through ePublisher Pro again, and it worked, the Variables were populated.

    I have put in a support request to Adobe and will share their response with the forum.
