    Oh, Lord, I never noticed that I was replying to my own thread. Well .... I am a bit perturbed ...

    It turns out my graphics WERE being imported from a distant directory. The thread as spelled out in the LOR was misleading and I thought it was correctly located. Maybe all is not lost with the Packager function ...

    I'm not able to make the Packager in Frame 2017 work.  The Adobe user reference is not helpful.

    Every time I run it, Frame crashes. Chapter files are all linked to graphics in a subdirectory. No log files are generated even in the hidden AppData\Roaming tree. I did find a number of "ulog_TCS_FrameMaker_....tmp" files with the date/time stamps that are right around the time I tried to use the feature.

    Any ideas about what to check to get this to work?

    Do you mean the graphics aren't copied to the .zip file or that the links aren't updated to reflect the new path?

    that was a fast response. thanks!

    I mean the graphics aren't copied to the zip file. The links are all fine.

    I've tried moving the folder around and relinking the graphics and it

    still doesn't work. I've worked on other sets of files before where the

    graphics are outside of the folder where the frame files are with no

    issues. Suddenly it's not working.
