Hi,

When I save FM to XML with extendscript, I see errors in the console which are not available in the AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\15\consfile.txt

Please find an example issue attached.

do you see a way to get this errors with extendscript ?

thanks.

I haven't figured that out yet. Some things get written to consfile.txt and some don't. This is an XML parser message. One thing you can try: open the temp folder in Windows explorer and try to grab a copy of the temporary file before FrameMaker deletes it. You can use this to figure out where the illegal character is.

Can you please say where can I find this:

"open the temp folder in Windows explorer and try to grab a copy of the temporary file" ?

It seems that the XML you save to a file is not valid.

Try to copy the temp file to a file xyz.xml and then validate this with for example https://www.xmlvalidation.com/

Most likely you will get similar error messages from the validator, but see where the error occurs.
