Just need help to activate Publish option in FrameMaker 11. How to activate this option? Please mention if I need to install some plug-in for the same.
This is the screenshot for the same as you can see the 'Publish' option is grayed out.
Sorry about that - I just checked my copy of FM11's help - on this page - Adobe FrameMaker 11 * Publishing the current document - it mentions that the "Publish" option is only there if you've got the Tech Comm Suite.

Do you have a document or book selected and open?

Have you saved the file on your hard drive?

Yes. The book is selected and files are saved. Still the same problem.

What's the full version of Fm you're using?
For reference, I get the following from Help > About FrameMaker
I don't believe that Fm 11 had a Publish pod, but it did have a connection to Fm Publish Server.
Could that explain what you're seeing?

vpratap.tw - check your version of FM11 - there might have been a patch that fixed up access to that Publish pod. I'd check for you, but I just got a new workstation & having got all my versions of TCS installed yet.

Thanks for your reply. As of now, I don't have TCS installed as per our company guidelines we can only use Frame Maker.
I am not aware of patches if any. Please check the version I posted here.

Use the Help>Updates command to download the latest Fm11 patch files. If that doesn't work, see Adobe - FrameMaker : For Windows

I have updated the version. Now it's 11.0.2.384.
I still have the same issue. Publish option is grayed out.
Please help.
