Corrupted Frame files not importing correctly to RoboHelp and can't save MIF as FM

Hi,
I have Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.0, which has FrameMaker 10.0.2.249 in it.
I created a user guide in FrameMaker, some of the chapters for which I imported from Word, and little bits of text here and there of which I copied and pasted from Word.
a) When I created a RoboHelp project and imported the Frame files, a little bit of content disappeared. A sentence here, a bulleted item there, not all the content I copied and pasted.
b) I thought I would save the Frame files as .MIF and then reopen them in Frame to get rid of any corruption. They saved as .MIF just fine and they open again with Frame just fine. However, when I try to Save As .FM, I get the message that .MIF cannot be saved as .FM.
I checked the extension in the Save As box and it has no mention of .MIF.
What to do? Any suggestions either for a) or b)?

This is a bug in the Save As dialog. If the filename is yourfile.FM, you
can choose MIF as the filetype in the Save as Type box, FrameMaker
changes the filename to yourfile.mif and saves as mif.
But, for some reason, if you have a filename of yourfile.MIF and choose
FM in the Save as Type dialog box, you get that error message and the
save doesn't happen. The workaround is to delete the MIF extension in
the filename. Then the save works fine and the file is renamed with an
FM extension.
In other words, saving FM to MIF works as expected. FrameMaker renames
the file extension and saves in the new format. But, in a MIF to FM
save, FrameMaker refused to rename the MIF extension. (Maybe there is a
reason for this?) You have to delete the extension or the save won't happen.
I'm going to report this as a bug.

  • RAW files not importing correctly into iPhoto

    I'm having problems importing .CR2 files into iPhoto. This didn't used to happen with Tiger, so I'm trying to figure out what the issue is. I'm using iPhoto 7.1.1 (354) with Leopard 10.5.1. I previously had 10.4.8.
    I'm wondering if it's an issue with networking. Currently, my iPhoto Library is on a NAS because it's big (about 86GB) and I have RAID redundancy on the NAS. The original files are fine, but the imported files (not just the thumbnails) are corrupted. If there's a problem with data transmission, would that show as a data corruption?

    Michael
    I don't have a NAS myself and my ignorance of it and networking one is pretty much total. However, this thread
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100543&tstart=0
    records a discovery by one user using a similar system. It has to do with iPhoto using ':' for temp files and folders, and Samba having a problem with the character.
    Hope that helps.

  • Frame bullets not displaying correctly in RoboHelp output

    I imported a FrameMaker book into RoboHelp and tried to convert it to an epub file.
    Can someone help with the following questions?
    1. Why does the bullet format get converted as an n character? How do you work around this?
    2. Why do the table of contents and title page get added to the end of the epub book?
    3. Why do the fonts in the epub file appear different from the help files or Frame files?
    Shuba

    Hi Shuba,
    1. Why does the bullet format get converted as an n character? How do you work around this?
    I'm guessing you have a special bullet character format in FrameMaker. You can try changing that to a standard bullet and it should resolve.
    Better, though, convert the bullet paragraph to an HTML list in the RH conversion.
    2. Why do the table of contents and title page get added to the end of the epub book?
    Good q, I've had that issue as well. No solution thus far.
    3. Why do the fonts in the epub file appear different from the help files or Frame files?
    The EPUB shoud have a separate CSS that it uses. Try editing that CSS to control the font.

  • Ai files not importing correctly

    I made a type file (with a stroke) and a 3.4 rule line in Indesign, imported it into ai and created outlines. When I reimported into indesign (as ai file) it showed up fine on screen but when I printed the line was missing, and the stroked type had lost it's middle in most but not all of the letters and was printing transparent with a stroke. I replaced the line with a box and it still didn't show up. It looked this way in the PDF too. I'm using white type.
    I'm having this problem with other white ai files. How can I fix and why aren't they compatible?Running CS3 on 10.4.11

    The white is set to overprint. Go back to Illustrator and fix it there.

  • Layered PSD files not importing correctly

    Hey all,
    I'm working on an animation, and I'm trying to animate some text layed out in a specific way in a .psd document. I export the psd to the desktop with the layers box checked, and I keep "maximize compatibility" on. When I quick-look the file or re-open it, it appears correctly. However, when I import it into FCPX (v. 10.0.6) all of the text, which is black, shows up as just a black image. When I drag the file into the timeline the layers separate as they should and have the correct titles, but they appear black. In the original document it was black text on a transparent background. I never had this problem in FCP7, it's new to FCPX. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Is the PSD 8-bit RGB? Was it made on a Mac or PC? Are each of the layers rasterized or in bitmapped form?

  • Why is my .psd file not rendering correctly in ae

    Some layers of the .psd document are not rendered correctly. However they are imported.
    The strange thing is that when I first move from Photoshop to Illustrator, save it as an .ai file it is rendered properly (in Ae).
    I am kind of clueless as to what is causing this issue.
    Kind regards,
    Jelle

    Okay if more information is needed, i'll provide. However you may disregard my initial comment about illustrator. It flattens the photoshop layers so I do not have any flexibility in After Effects. In other words, my main question remains: why is my psd file not rendering correctly in ae?
    Further details:
    -photoshop cc and after effects cc.
    -macbook pro retina
    If still not clear enough, please tell me what details you are looking for furthermore

  • When I attg which had working and played properly, the popup occurs"This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes."

    When I attempt to open an iTunes MP3 fie, song or audio recording which had been working and playing properly for a couple of years, the popup occurred, "This copy of iTunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly.Please reinstall iTunes." How do I access and use again these sound and video files without losing them or any other files, documents? I am not a computer wizard!

    It's a real message.
    Let's try a repair install of iTunes.
    Restart the PC first.
    If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair".
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", and click "Change". Select "Repair" and click "Next" as per the following screenshot:

  • How do i fix my itune?it says,this copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly please reinstall itunes.i tryed to update to ios7 and this has happend.any help would be great

    I've got myself a new iphone 5s and I tried to update itunes. Now its telling me that this copy of itunes is corrupted or is not installed correctly Please reinstall itunes.I'm not good with computers so any help would be great.I'm scared if i reinstall i will lose everythig.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • File not formatted correctly error

    Dear All,
    when am trying to import a contract file as excel sheet, not CVs file, i get the error ( File not formatted correctly ). any advice?

    the issue with date formatting would be corrected in Excel. When an export file that includes dates is opened in Excel, they get reformatted by the Excel program. In my experience, I have had to reformat those cells in Excel to the YYYY-MM-DD format and save the Excel file before I could import again into CM. But, if you are just exporting and then importing without opening the file in Excel, then the dates are not the problem. What are you exporting from CM? Are you trying to import into a different project or database than you exported from?

  • Canon 5D MK II white balance set as K does not import correctly

    With a 5D II and the Kelvin white balance set in the camera the WB does not import correctly for RAW files and LR 2.4. For example when set to a specified white balance as a Kelvin setting, for example 5200, and then import the raw files with "As Shot" specified or subsequently WB to "As Shot" in Develop module the white balance is set to 4850 +1 (in the example of 5200). The pre set WB options provided inthe camera do work correctly.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to set this up to work correctly? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
    Thank you.

    Lightroom does work correctly. The numbers are different, but the appearance ot the colour temperature matches. The way I understand it, cameras don't actually store Kelvin numbers, but store colour space co-ordinates instead. LR and your Canon are interpreting the RAW values into different colour spaces, so the kelvin values and tint numbers will differ.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
