Linking to (or importing) large FM books in Windows 7

We've been using the latest CS to develop our source content in Frame, and linking to that from Robohelp (in order to generate OLH). It hasn't been a pleasant process, especially, but it has been sufficient for the last year and a half or so.
I'm switching to a Windows 7 machine (64 bit) in order to run the technology that I need to document.
I CAN link to the Frame book from RH, but I can no longer update the source files. Robohelp allows me to link to the book (but not generate or update the files). I get the following error message: "Adobe RoboHelp 8 has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
Needless to say, there is no ensuing notification of an available solution. The same thing happens when I try to import the book.
It is a fairly substantial book, comprising about 700 pages. So there may not actually be a real problem--Windows may just think that the program has timed out. I'm saying this because I CAN create a new project and link to or import a single chapter just fine. So, the workaround is to link to individual .fm files one at a time, rather than .book files. This is actually a better solution than linking to the book, if you plan to add chapters in the future (I only discovered this side effect after putting a lot of effort into my original book-linked RH project).
That makes this post more of an FYI than an RFI, but I hope that someone finds it useful.
Note: I did modify maker.ini, as described in another issue: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2829287

Okay, I have an update on this problem.
I tried to recreate the project by linking to the chapter .fm files one at a time (rather than linking to the book). One of the files proved to be unlinkable. I used a higly sophisticated troubleshooting technique to narrow the problem down to a single element (basically, I split the problematic file into smaller and smaller slices, and then deleted pages until I found the problem, so maybe sophisticated is not entirely accurate).
Here it is: In the Frame docs, we import (by reference) a lot of graphics files. Most of them are jpgs or pngs. Exactly one of them was a pdf. That one was the problem. Once I replaced that with a png, my problems disappeared.
Just a note that this stuff updated just fine in Windows XP...

    Some assistance would be greatly appreciated

    Hello,
    Not knowing how you are making the attempt, it's difficult to comment on why it's not working for you. Therefore, I can only offer what I believe should be the proper process.

    That KB discusses the use of the Import/Export tool. You should be able to use it to export your contacts from your BB to an Ascii or CSV file. From that point on, it will be a matter of what Windows Live can do to import the information.
    Unless...were you looking for synchronization? That might be something completely different.

  • How to fix lost connections to original high-resolution pictures in iPhoto and how to import an iPhoto Book from one iPhoto library to another

    Hi there,
    I am using a MBP Pro with 8 GB cache and 1 TB HDD from beginning of 2011 with OS X Yosemite and iPhoto version 9.6 (910.29).
    I created an iPhoto Book to print which contains my best pictures of 2013 and 2014. Then I got an error message when I wanted to print the book, saying (translated from German):
    Book could not be created.
    With photo p233432343.jpg there was an error. The original version of that photo with full resolution could not be found or is damaged. Please replace the photo or delete it from your book.
    When I enquired further, I found out, that many, many pictures in my iPhoto library have that problem - only the thumbnail picture is found by iPhoto, but not the one with the high resolution. When looking at the photos in detail one sees that they are not sharp because obviously the photo book only refers to the thumbnail. When I went into the iPhoto Library using Finder, I saw that the original high res photos are still there. As there are an estimated 3000 photos with a lost connection (some still have, it but about 1/2 of my photos don´t), it does not make sense to import those photos manually. This photo book is just the tip of the iceberg, so to say.
    Then I looked for solutions in some forums. I had two lPhoto libraries, one on my HDD (120GB) and one on an external HDD (175GB). Assuming there might be problems, I have deleted (moved) the one on my HDD, because the "right one" is the one on my external HDD and started iPHoto again using the alt key. But that did not work either.
    I then tried to repair my iPhoto library using iPhoto Library Manager, and merged and rebuilt libraries. The library that came out was crap - all folders that had lost connections to the high resolution pictures now have zero photos in it. Also it is lacking the projects, including the photo book I created.
    Then I went to find out if there is a way to import the iphoto book project from the old, corrupt library into the new, repaired library but could not find anything. It can only be exported as a file structure or website. As the file structure is missing the high res pictures, that does not even solve the "little" problem of the photobook.
    I would REALLY appreciate your help on the two questions:
    1- Can you advise what I need to to do to to get the connection to the high resolution photos established again  ? As it is more than 3000 photos, I use an automated way of reestablishing that connection. Probably an answer to this question would make question 2 irrelevant.
    2- Do you know if there is a way to export and import a book project created in iPhoto from one library to another ?

    1 - Select  the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder. 
    You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also.  Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located.  Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
    If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like   SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered.   If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files.  However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
    2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library. 

  • Large Hardcover Book

    I just placed an order for a large hardcover book from iPhoto and have recently read that the quality on the medium sized books was mediocre. Is this true for the large hardcover books?
    Also, how's the quality on the calendars and greeting cards? I'm thinking about ordering some for the holidays.
    Thanks!

    NtM:
    The large hardcover books that I've ordered were great. Absolutely no problems at all. The two medium books that I've ordered were OK for their intended use, memory book of a day at Seaworld for the grandkids, but the image quality was not nearly as good. The medium book had a halftone pattern that was visible to the naked eye if held close to the eye. The same pattern required a 10X eye loupe to see the pattern.
    The difference was, I think, due to different printers used for each size. I haven't ordered one in a while so don't know if the medium books have changed.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

  • Can I import my address book into Adobe Send?

    How do I import my address book into Adobe Send?

    Hi propacific,
    There is no way to port your address book into Adobe Send, but if you use Send through Adobe Reader, you can access your local address book. And, if you're on Windows, you can use the Outlook plug-in for Adobe Send so you can send directly from Outlook. You can download the plug-in from here: Send Large Files Online - Share, Control, Track & Manage | Adobe Send

  • Error Message when trying to "import larger size" menue Option

    This is the error I get when I try to use the otion to Import Larger Size... 
    Also the animation displays correctly in the Prieview in browser function, and in Prieview, however it does not work on the published test server.
    I only imagine these problems are linked......
    Any help is appreciated, thanks in Advance
    Also mobile mesponsive page attributes and background images do not display correctly (IOS tested only).
    Is there a work around for any of these issues?

    Hi Plonta,
    Based on our findings, the error appears when using an Edge animation whose stage size was increased while preserving the same poster image. To confirm this, try the following steps:
    Go to Edge app and capture another poster image (without chaning the stage size)
    From Edge republish the animation
    Switch back to Muse and update the asset (if you publish from Edge in the same location, the Assets panel in Muse will display a little exclamation mark letting you know that the animation is out of date; use right-click -> Update Asset to update it).
    This will hide the menu option "Import Larger Size" which was only supposed to work for images (we'll remove it for Edge animations in a future release since it makes no sense).
    Regarding the other issue - preview (in Muse) not working - can you please send the Edge file you're using to [email protected] along with a link to this topic. If your file is > 20MB, please use a file sharing service like SendThisFile or Adobe SendNow.
    Thanks!

  • Importing a FrameMaker book: a graphics problem

    Hello poor Robohelp users ;-) I couldn't image that such a
    seemingly trivial action as importing FrameMaker files into
    Robohelp could be such a headache. I am using the latest version of
    both products. When I import a FrameMaker book into Robohelp, the
    following problem arises: pictures appear with a large left margin,
    and what is more disturbing is that they can appear under the body
    text itself (as a background). In addition, figure captions appear
    above the figures instead of under them. Note that in the previous
    version of Robohelp, such problem did not arise. Any ideas, boys
    and girls? :-)
    Thank you all in advance!
    Nancy

    Hi Nancy,
    You don't mention what your settings are for your graphic
    frames.
    You may be able to solve some problems by resetting those.
    For instance, if you are using Alignment: Center, you will
    get a large left margin.
    Try using Alignment: Left, and in the anchored frame itself,
    add just the margin you want. (Make the anchored frame roomy enough
    to include your margin.)
    In my project, my FM anchored frame settings are:
    Anchoring Position: Below Current Line
    Alignment: Left
    Width: 6.5
    Height: adjusted per graphic
    That works well for me.
    As for your figure caption problems, how about some info
    about your paragraph tag settings?
    Hint: use a special tag devoted solely to hang your anchored
    frames from, like, maybe "anchor graphic".
    Don't attach your anchored frame to your figure
    titles.

  • I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that  the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels

    I imported a COMPLETED book project into Aperture 3, only to discover that  the resolution of all the photos has been reduced to totally unacceptable levels.  Any easy solution?
    Steps:
    1. I finished an Aperture 2 (Two) book project and tried to submit it to Apple for printing. At that point I learned (belatedly, obviously) that Apple no longer accepts books from Aperture 2. I don't know how I would have known to even ask if Aperture 2 had been sunsetted as far as book projects go.
    2. So I tried to download Aperture 3 ($79.99), only to be told that I couldn't download Aperture 3.5.1 because I was still running OSX 10.8.x. So I read current reviews for OSX 10.9.x, and ...
    3. Downloaded and installed the current operating system (about a 3-hours process for me).  OSX 10.9.2, here we are!
    4. Then I returned to the Apple Store, found, and purchased Aperture 3.  [For safety's sake, it would sure be nice to have a .dmg file I could copy and file away.  I lost a perfectly legal and good copy of Adobe's Photoshop Elements 3 years ago because I wasn't smart enough to make a safety copy, and when my iMac crashed (fried electronic components), I was left with a copy of the software that wouldn't run, and couldn't be verified as legit.]
    5. When Aperture 3 finished installing, I found and imported my COMPLETED Aperture 2 book project, which import seemed to proceed nominally -- the right number of pages, the right content on those pages, that sort of thing -- until I started looking more carefully at the pictures themselves.  All of them, about 300 of them, have been imported into an Aperture 3 book project in such a reduced resolution that they are fuzzy at the size the book will be printed.  Screen-capture of just one example (at 100% viewer setting):
    I don't know what to do at this point to correct the problem, short of going through the entire book project, copy the custom captions (since those go away when you "delete" photo content), delete the photo, re-insert the photo, and paste back the custom caption.  Lather, rinse, repeat - ~300 times!  An estimated 2-3 hours of additional work.
    Or does anyone in this community know either (1) that I did something wrong in the Aperture 2-to-Aperture 3 import (I don't recall being offered any options or choices in the process); or (2) that there is a wholesale one-step solution to my problem?
    BTW, I tried to edit my "Product" info, but OSX 10.9.x is not in the pick list.  I am running OSX 10.9.2
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Frank, thanks for your note.  I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it.  Too much to ask?
    And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first.  [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.]  That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
    Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so.  As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely.  You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
    Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
    So, ... is this result something you have heard of before?  Do you know of a one-step solution?  Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

    Using iBooks Author to make a book you have created a link to another part of your book but how do you get the reader back to the original page?

    Asking me to be verbore is a dangerous thing  :-)
    When you eneter information into iTunes Producer for uploading, the info must match what is in the internal metadata. In this case, the book is called Mississippi, but in  iTunes Producer it is spelled Misssissippi. There is an extra "s". This will cause an error.

  • Cannot create a large hardcover book in iphoto '08

    I've not seen this reported - try renewing yoru iPhoto preference file - A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
    This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

  • Is the only way to import large amount of data and database objects into a primary database is to shutdown the standby, turn off archive log mode, do the import, then rebuild the standby?

    I have a primary database that need to import large amount of data and database objects. 1.) Do I shutdown the standby? 2.) Turn off archive log mode? 3.) Perform the import? 4.) Rebuild the standby? or is there a better way or best practice?

    Instead of rebuilding the (whole) standby, you take an incremental (from SCN) backup from the Primary and restore it on the Standby.  That way, if, for example
    a. Only two out of 12 tablespaces are affected by the import, the incremental backup would effectively be only the blocks changed in those two tablespaces (and some other changes in system and undo) {provided that there are no other changes in the other ten tablespaces}
    b. if the size of the import is only 15% of the database, the incremental backup to restore to the standby is small
