Framemaker 2019 HTML5 Publishing Time

[Ekkuzu]

Hello,

In Framemaker 2019, I have been publishing in HTML5 a book comprised of around 50 images that are referenced on a local drive. The average publishing time for a book this size takes around 30 minutes. Has anyone else in the community seen similar publishing time lengths? Is there anyway for me to optimize how long it takes?

Thank you

I wouldn't expect that to take more than about 5 minutes at the outside. What about the graphics...are they particularly large in Mb?

Hi Matt,

The total file size I am trying to Publish to HTML5 is 256MB.

It's quite an amount of time for publishing into Html5

Which type of images are you using mostly in your files and what is the range of your image file size.

I had some issue similar to this in the previous version but was resolved when I converted "referred" image file into "copy".

Let me know if you need script for converting this through extend script.

You can try this solution if possible.

Hi Pulkit. So after some testing, I found that the culprit for the long HTML5 publishing times is the PDF graphics I am referencing. To publish 20 PNG images in HTML5 it took 3 seconds. For 20 PDF images in HTML it took 9 minutes. Do you recommend anyway for me optimize the publication of PDF imagery?

In that case, I suggest you to export your PDF images as PNG images and then import the same in FM and publish HTML5.

I am not aware of any other way except this to optimize.
