Is there any way to mitigate SVG files becoming corrupted in FrameMaker 2015?

We have also filed this. Since the dotted text shows up in Framemaker 2015 before the PDF is even created I suspect it is something in FrameMaker. We have hundreds of documents that are released quarterly. We cannot easily change file formats. Any help is appreciated.

And how are you generating SVG? If not Adobe Illustrator, see hack below.

re: We cannot easily change file formats.

If you have Illustrator, you might try opening one of the affected SVGs and re-saving it. If that fixes the problem, you can set up a batch process in AI to re-save them all (back them up first, of course).

This rather looks like it might be an FM2015 issue, but you have work to do, so if the hack works, it might dodge the downtime until a patch is at hand.

How is FM corrupting the svg file? It just reads it in unstructured mode.

Are you using structured FM? If so, which structured application?

Random graphics appear this way in a document. For example this document has 25 SVG files and this one looks like this. I can reimport this and it fixes it but then next time I open the file it appears on a different graphics. These all worked fine in our previous version of Frame. We have 5 writers seeing this issue.

That looks like the text isn't rendering properly. Do you have the font used in the SVG installed on the machine? Is the font embedded in the SVG? What font is it supposed to be?
