Hi, @Joanne354367988p54 ,
you can try the following:
Open the the explorer, do a right click on the c drive and click on properties.
Then you find a button "Bereinigen" (german system, something like "clean") on the first tab.
Click on that button and windows will show you a list of items.
I am afraid you will find a huge number on the item "temporary files" (or the like).
Activate the item and clicking on OK will delete all useless files in the TEMP-folder.
So maybe then you have enough space for the process.

Hi, @Susan305351693t3o ,
when I am right there is an anchor at the end of the caption.
If so that is your problem.
An anchor MUST always stay with table/anchored frame it belongs to on the same page.
Put the anchor in its own paragraph and not in the caption para.

Hi, @Pepper230 ,
more information is needed.
What font is used?
What settings are you using when making the PDF?
Do you get any messages while the PDF is processed? If yes, what is written?
Did you had a look if the font is properly included in the PDF (open the PDF, got to menu File - Properties, then to tab Fonts, you should see that your font is embedded and not substituted)?
Such behavior is usually caused by problems embedding the font used.

Hi, @ka_d ,
where did you get the fonts from?
Google Fonts, Adobe Fonts or what font vendor?
Assuming you are using Windows (10/11?) go to list of fonts, double-click the Alegreya Medium and Regular entries and tell us, what version are these two (second line under Headline- Version: ).

Hi @frameexpert ,
Row Formatting is not saved as part of a table format.
are you sure?
Afaik it must be stored somewhere in the (binary) FM files as all my tables (using the same format) have the same setting about minimum and mximum since I changed that in the past and stored that table format.
In a MIF I can find:
<RowMaxHeight 355.60067 mm> <RowHeight 5.64445 mm>
But these entries relay as it seems only to existing tables in the file.

The setting is saved as part of a table format, so after applying this setting you can make a table format (object) and newly made table susing the format will behave "correctly".
Existing tables will not be altered automatically.
So maybe just applying the new/altered table format is working (never tested that) or you have to go through all existing tables to apply the new cell height settings.

Hi Bjørn ( @FrameMaker-dk ),
mark the cell or a column of the table to change all cell-heights, right-click on marked area, click on "Row format" (in german "Zeilenformat") and change the minimum to "0" and the maximum to "355,601 mm" (max. that FM accepts).
Now the height of your cells changes with the change of the content between the minimum and the maximum.

Hi, @jenna_frenak ,
sorry, but no-one can tell you a fix for the problem as only the developers can get an idea about he underlying issue.
It is an "internal error".
Only thing we can try is to delimit a possible cause so you can hopefully work around the problem.
1) What OS are you using?
2) The FM files are locally stored and all other source files are also locally stored? Or is a network drive (in any way) involved? If yes, what kind of network connection?
3) Describe a little more precisely what you are doing to crash FM.
4) Can you use Save-As-PDF from file menu to produce a PDF?
5) Is Acrobat, Disitller and Adobe PDF printer installed? If yes, can you use Print command and print to file using the Adobe PDF printer? And then use Distiler to produce a PDF?

Hi, @terhok ,
this is the moment to provide your LOT file and the chapter file with the "red" emphasis character style, so we can have a look at the settings.
Normally with just updating the LOT file via book there is no changing of existing styles in the LOT.

Hi, @terhok ,
as @Bob_Niland wrote, re-defining the character format Emphasis in your LOT should do the trick.
Change color to black and all the other settings as needed.
Deleting the character style works most of the time, but not as a 100% solution (my experience).

Hi, @nicolas_6195 ,
assuming you are talking about trying develop a script that can do the copying of overflow text you should show what code you have used so far.
And describe what is happening when running your script (any error message? nothings happening? or something else?).
And you should also tell what OS and what InDesign version you are using.

Sad news to read.
As @frameexpert wrote he was an expert with a huge in-depth-knowledge about FrameMaker.
My thoughts are with his family and friends.
He will be missed.

Hi, @davidcfrye ,
as far as I understand you have a source file, where you have defined the PDF-bookmark-levels of the paragraph-formats of the FM-file in the PDF setup dialog of the print dialog.
And then you want to import these settings into other FM-files.
Addition: These settings can also be done via Menu Format - Document - PDF settings - (Tags) Distiller.
In theory you just have to import the paragraph-settings of the source file into your other FM-files, assuming that the naming of the paragraph-formats in the source and the target file are totally identical (absolutely no difference).
In the MIF-file one can find two entries in the paragraph-format definitions:
<PgfAcrobatLevel 5> <PgfPDFStructureLevel 5>
And afaik these two entries define the PDF-bookmark-level of the paragraph-format.
So if this does not work with your files for an answer you should describe your workflow and the used FM-version (I am assuming FM 2022 v17.0.5.725) like:
Step 1) Opening source file.
Step 2) Opening target file.
Step 3) Defining import settings as follow:
...
A possible solution could be writing a script that changes the named MIF-entries using a list with paragraph-formats and the wanted entries for the named paragraph-format.
Best regards

Hi, @gary_3792 ,
having a look on your chapter 1 and chapter 2 files would be helpful.
For download would be best.
And beside the question of @Jeff_Coatsworth why are you putting a heading-text on a masterpage?
Anything you put on a master-page will appear on every body-page connected to that master-page.
And a "Running H/F" is looking for text on a body-page not a master-page-element.
So what are you trying to achieve with putting the heading on the master-page?

@Andy38108926n5yf ,
your paths are fine as they give relative paths in FM.
If I remember correctly I have read about occasionally occuring problems with PNG files in FM and your desciption sounds familiar.
So as a test I would change the PNG format to TIF format (I am using only TIF files for graphics in FM), referencing the TIF file in FM and testing what happens with your PDFs.

Hi, @Ramachandra M34846246ibb7 ,
what is your level of experience with FrameMaker?
If you have none, it is difficult to impossible to answer your question as you have no idea about the concept of FM.
So any answer must start at the very beginning of FM, that is not possible in a forum like this.
As @Winfried Reng wrote start with the FM help, a tutorial or - if you want/must work professoinally with FM - book a course to learn how to work with FrameMaker.

Hi, @Andy38108926n5yf ,
it is always a good idea to also write about the used environment: what FM version (x.x.xxx), OS ("win10/11" is not enough), file-paths and any (error)-message.
"The image file was always in the same location, though."
So what is the path of that location?
A network share, a cloud share, local path?
The picture is still shown in FM, correct?
What do you get as path-information when you click on the image and open the properties of that image?

Hi, @nikitags02 ,
you are mixing up two different things.
1) There is a "Publish"-route to generate a PDF.
Your first screenshots shows that publish-pod of FM.
This route does not rely on Acrobat/Adobe PDF printer, it is independent of Acrobat/Adobe PDF printer.
2) The other route is the Print-route using the Adobe PDF printer that is installed with Acrobat.
Which route are you trying to use?
Please describe exactly what you are trying to do, the way you are going and any error message shown.

Hi, @Beate5E27 ,
as @Jeff_Coatsworth wrote you need to tell FM just once about the new path - IF all images are stored in the same folder (no subfolders).
If that is true and FM is not finding all the other images something else is wrong.
Have the filenames of the images changed in any way?
Or do you use any kind of network folder or something like sharepoint etc.?

Hi, @Markus30236947ecui ,
are all images stored locally on your PC?
Or do you work with network stored ressources (NAS, Cloud etc.)?
I am working with 500+ page books without any problems, but all is stored locally.

Hello, Jenn ( @jenniferr59561502 ),
this looks familiar to me.
Only way I know of to get rid of this:
Mark the the whole paragraph and apply the "Default Para Font" via the character catalog.
I think this happens when pasting text from another source (like word or pdf) and importing the wrong font-information as well with the text.
So I am always using "paste special" with "unicode" active as this imports the text only.

Hi, @georgej2018 ,
what version of Cheap Impostor are you using?
Is that version capable of handling all flavours of PDFs correctly?
Maybe you should ask the manufacturer about the problem (as printing from ID works correctly).
Is printing from Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader or other PDF sofware possible without that problem?

Hi, @TCBill ,
"... after three or four minutes I got the "FrameMaker not responding" ..."
3 or 4 minutes is not long.
The process can take up to 30 minutes or longer depending on the complexity of the document, the graphics (and PSD with layers is complex for FM) and so on.
And the message "FrameMaker not responding" tells you only that Windows is "thinking" that FM is not responding.
That is mostly not true as FM (or a subroutine) is just heavily working on the PDF job.
In such cases I am waiting at least 30-60 minutes before killing the FM task.

Hi, @Derek Cross ,
"You can't use TrueType fonts in InDesign documents any more..."
sorry, but this is wrong.
PostScript Type 1 fonts are not supported anymore with newer CC versions (see PostScript Type 1 fonts end of support), TrueType fonts are supported.

Hi, @TCBill ,
"... the routine would hang on the page with the graphic ..."
how do you know that FM is hanging?
How long did you wait before killing the FM task?
A PSD with layers can be very complex and therefor the PDF export can take a long time to finish.
As @Bob_Niland already wrote it is a better way to export Photoshop graphics to TIF or JPG and place these in FM.
