Re: Conditional text causing Webhelp generation to crash?

Hi,
Have you found a solution to this? I am having the exact same problem - it was working well previously but now, whenever I have conditional text IN A TABLE in my FrameMaker source that is hidden, Robohelp crashes.
Thanks.

Suzie
The problem is not EXACTLY the same as your conditional text is in a Fm document. I have moved the thread to the Fm Integration forum where you may get better assistance.

TCS2 Inline graphics hidden by conditional text cause unwanted carriage returns

I have some FrameMaker documents where there are some small icons in the text. Their anchored frames are set to be "at insertion point" in FrameMaker. They work fine normally, but when the icons are hidden by conditional text, they cause unwanted carriage returns in the RoboHelp output. The text is split into different paragraphs in the middle of the sentence.
For example, this is the FrameMaker input:
And this is the RoboHelp (WebHelp) output:
I notice that if I manually edit a topic in the RoboHelp editor, I can manually apply a conditional tag to an inline graphic without causing a line break.
So, I'm wondering if there's a way to avoid this when using linked FrameMaker documents.
Thanks,
Philip.

Your logs are generated automatically by your system as it runs - there is nothing further that you need to do. They are ordinary text files, so you can display them on a terminal using any of the usual tools - cat, less, grep, etc.

Very slow PDF generation when conditional text is hidden in FM 9.0

I am working on 96-page chapter of a larger book. A 7-page section of the chapter needs to be hidden until the next release, so I hid it with conditional text. After doing this, the "Save as PDF" printing process goes from taking 6-7 seconds to taking several minutes. If I unhide the conditional text in the same session, printing is very quick again.
I have no problem generating very PDF files with the PDF printer in other applications (Word, PowerPoint). The issue is specific to FrameMaker and the use of conditional text. What might be causing this?
I am using FrameMaker 9.0p255 and Distiller 9.0.

Hi Jeff,
These were good suggestions to try. Saving the document first has no effect on PDF generation.
However, I did find that printing to the Adobe PDF printer remains fast when the conditional text is hidden. That's quite an interesting finding! I did also notice that these two methods of PDF generation aren't identical:
"Save as PDF" opens an Adobe Distiller window, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer opens a different "Creating Adobe PDF" progress box (looks like it's from the printer driver itself).
"Save as PDF" generates a 1188k PDF file, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer generates a 1049k PDF file.
"Save as PDF" defaults to placing the PDF in FrameMaker's working directory, while printing to the Adobe PDF printer defaults to saving to the last place to saved a printed PDF file (awkward when working with multiple directories, as I often do).
When I do a "Save as PDF", FrameMaker does still spool to the PDF printer. It is this spooling that takes a long time. Once spooling is complete, then the Distiller window opens and the PDF is created very quickly.
I would still like to get "Save as PDF" working since it knows where to place the PDF file. No solution to the runtime yet, but at least there is progress...

Why does Conditional Text Pod crash in FM12

Just got FM12 and find that simply clicking on the Conditional Text pod will crash FM. It's not consistent, so I can't determine exactly what steps cause it to crash. Also, sometimes clicking inside of the pod will cause FM12 to crash.
This was the case also in FM9, so I was hoping that it would get fixed by now. Is there a work-around for this bug or is Adobe planning to finally fix this bug?

I used the Help > Updated and Help > About to check whether there were other updates. There aren't.
I just started using FM12 yesterday and have encountered so many problems that I've been swamped with these issues and trying to get my job done, so I didn't know where to send logs etc to. But FM12 just crashed again a few minutes ago, and I got an Internal Error message that mentions doing that, which I'll do today.

FM 10 Crashing when applying conditional text tag

Hello everyone.
For some reason, FM keeps crashing when I try to apply a conditional text tag to a table (entire table). The funny thing is I have been doing this same thing for three months now with no problems before today, even have two tables in the same document with different tags applied to them and they are working fine. But when I try to add this one, I crash. I have rebooted my computer and made sure all my drivers are up to date, but now I'm at a loss. Any help?
Thanks.

Yes, I can apply the tag to the pictures in the document, its only when applying to the table. I am selecting all rows in the table with the mouse and then selecting the tag, clicking the radio button "in" and then clicking the "Apply" button. It then asks "apply condition tag settings to all rows in table?" I hit "ok" and then it freezes, screen shots provided.
Pic 1: My project at table causing problems.
Pic 2: Me selecting the table and choosing to apply tag.
Pic 3: Me affirming I want to apply the condition to all rows.
Pic 4: Program stops responding.

(FM8p277) Crashes when saving first doc in book after changing conditional text display

That was a mouthful :-)
Okay, this happens with any of the books that I work on --- it never happened with Frame 7.
I have a book containing several documents.
The documents contain several conditional text segments.
Start new Framemaker session, open book, open all documents.
Change conditional text display (from Show All to Show Selected, or vice-versa).
From the book, choose Save All (or from the *first* document, choose Save). The following text appears in a 'FrameMaker dialog': "File <filename of first document>.fm has changed on the disk since you last opened or saved it. Someone else has probably modified the file. Do you want to save it anyway?
Click OK. All of the files save properly. (If I had clicked Cancel, the first file would be skipped and all other files would save.)
Change conditional text display again (note: this could even be for a different book at this point, I believe, but will have to verify).
(Repeat step 3): The same text appears again in the dialog.
Click OK. FrameMaker crashes while trying to save the first file. (If I had clicked Cancel, the first file would be skipped and all other files would save. However, if I attempt to save the first file afterward, FrameMaker still crashes.)
Anybody have any insight into this? Am I the only one this happens to? Argh :-)
Thanks.

Sorry, the only answers I got were on the forum and nothing worked
That being said, at least now I know I'm not crazy! (Sorry it had to
happen to you, though.)
As it stands, I've been training myself to make sure that after the
first time I toggle the settings, I do the save, and then make sure to
save all, quit, and restart FrameMaker before I attempt another toggle.
On the odd occasion that I don't do that and get the warning message, I
select Cancel (which lets the rest of the files save), quit, restart,
and then make sure I update the first document appropriately.
All the while cursing and swearing, of course
As an aside... if you find a solution, please let me know about it if
you remember.
Thanks.

Selecting conditional text in book crashes FM 9

You never know when it will occur or on which files .... I am in a book file and select several files, select View > Show/Hide Conditional Text, and change my condition settings, then click Apply.
Framemaker crashes. Sometimes three, four times in a row.
Yes I've made new files, etc., etc., and some others in our group have the same problems with conditional text in some books. This is not consistent behavior so that's why we scratch our heads.
I have 4GB of memory and an empty hard drive, so that's not the issue. We work off a network but the same thing can happen if I save a book locally.
What on Earth could be happening?

Some files are new. Some files were ported from previous versions. Because the crashes are always different, it isn't always the same files or books where crashes occur. One never knows what will trigger the crash or when, as I mentioned. I've rebuilt files and had them crash, but someone else can use them (and change the same setting) without problems.
There's no discernible pattern.
Crashes for team members occur consistently at the book level. I seem to be the only person who can set conditions at the book level (though not consistently, as you can see). Crashes can occur for me at the book level or when I have a file open. Typically a file that crashes at book level also crashes with the file open.
I am trying to change one condition for these companion volumes (a set of three books that share some files). I successfully changed the condition a couple of hours ago.
Our network isn't backed up until very early in the morning and it's afternoon here -- that's not the issue. Nobody else is working on this project so that's not the issue.
Our templates have all of our conditions already defined so theoretically there shouldn't be conflicts. As I recall, a conflict triggers a notification when you update a book, and I successfully updated the companion book and printed to PDF a couple of hours ago.
Content doesn't seem to matter. The files in question consist of headings and tables. There are no graphics or linked files. The most sophisticated thing in them is cross-references (some conditional).
I just successfully changed the condition on all of the files in that chapter except one. The file that crashes Frame is very simple (no graphics or linked files, just cross-references) and it is one of the files that successfully switched conditions just a few hours ago.

Frame 8 crashes when showing all conditional text

When I try to Show ALL conditions in my Frame 8 file, Frame crashes. I just recently installed CS4 on my system, but other than that, nothing has changed. I have had no problems with conditional text and this file before. Wondering if anyone has had this issue and knows a workaround or fix. Thanks, sandra

Good, then you're all patched up, that's great.
I don't use conditional text at all, but several folks around here do and will be along to offer some help.
Can you identify whether this crash is a result of adding a new condition recently? Had showing all conditions had previously worked?

Conditional builds causes crash

A project I imported from RH5 (not using the Wizard, never
got that to work) which contains conditional topic tags and
conditional text tags crashes the RoboHelp.exe application when I
try to build with a condition specified. If I turn conditional
builds
offit builds just fine.
.MW

So you are using RH6 rather than going to an older version,
which can happen?
If yes, see Snippet 68 on my site. My guess is you have a
table with merged cells in it.

Eliminating blank pages caused by conditional text

FM 8.0p277
Windows 7 32-bit
My PDF file contains extra blank pages caused by hidden conditional text. All files are set to "Delete empty pages." Is there anything else I need to do?
Thanks!
Karen

Hi Peter,
Thanks for responding!
The blank pages do not use custom master pages and do not have any empty carriage returns. However, because of the way the page break happens to fall, the marker for the hidden conditional text is the only thing on the blank page. If a hidden condition marker is the only thing on a page, can FM not delete the page?
Also, is there any way that FM can ignore a file in the book that is 100% conditional, and not create any pages for it in the PDF?
Thanks,
Karen

Errors trying to apply a Boolean expression for conditional text

I have been trying to create some Boolean expressions to filter conditional text, with mixed results. The Boolean expression is three conditions separated by ORs followed by four conditions preceded by AND NOTs. When I apply the expression, FrameMaker exhibits and error and has to quit. The numbers in the error message are:
9004, 4908044, 6134440, 5459515
The hidden log file appears to be nothing more than a stack dump.
Do the numbers listed above indicate anything?
Are there any known limitations on how long a Boolean expression can or should be? One expression with one fewer OR worked.
Does there need to be a space between an AND and a NOT? The builder does add one, so I assume it is not necessary.
Does anyone have some general rules of thumb when working with Boolean expressions for conditional text?
Thanks,
Van

Van,
The error values are meaningless to users. However, please do send the logfiles to the [email protected] address.
As far as conditionals go, the general rules are that conditon names must be quoted and that if your ar using the NOT, it must run together with the AND or OR, e.g. ANDNOT ORNOT.
There's an articel in the Developer Connection on using the boolean operators at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/framemaker/articles/fm8_single_sourcing.html
Perhaps if you posted the condition that caused the crash, someone might be able to spot an error.

Question on conditional text design

I have a relatively large book (230 pages) with dozens of tables and 100's of graphics. I need 4 versions of this book. One for each grade level (3) and one if content for all 3 grades is sold as a "master course." Other than implementing the conditional text, the book is ready to go. I have tried a couple different ways to approach the tables conditionally (some of which are in Text Frames, some just anchored to a page ) but I don't get very far. Applying the Conditional Text tags ( with different colors and markers for each)seems to make it crash (i.e. almost duplicatable unlike the "normal" 3-4 crashes I experience on a daily basis the last month that are just random). Sidenote: I was very happy to see that they are going to fix the book printing crash...
Cross reference markers are involved in these conditional sections, and I have my suspicions that they are a root culprit of my other crash problems, but then FM crashed when applying conditional text to a section that *didn't* have a x-ref, so I don't know what to think.
I need to get this out by Monday. So my question is this, if I need 4 tables in a page (one for each version) am I better off just making 4 copies of the book and compiling that way? I sold the client on FM mostly because of the ability to compile multiple docs from one base book..so I really hate to have 4 copies when I give her the source. I know you can highlight individual rows in a table for a version (so I could make one really big table for 3 of the versions and just choose different rows), but this is a thing that seems almost certain to make it crash as well. And the master tables have an additional column as well as a row so I would still need 2 tables per doc if I could get the conditionals to quit crashing. Is there some better way to "design" this that an experienced FMer could suggest? Some custom utility that works?
Just in case someone asks this:
System Config
FM 11
new install in August, not upgraded
Files are all new and native to FM11
Windows 7-64 bit
20 gig of memory
2 TB drive - local C:/
Thanks for any suggestions on this.

I think you picked the wrong thread - this one deals with importing or linking FM content into RoboHelp with the TCS.
I haven't heard of anybody talking about conditional text crashing their FM11 - only issues with Track Changes and Conditions. Have you been reporting these crashes to Adobe Support? Have you submitted your crash logs? Can you reproduce the crashing with a sample book or is it only with this project? Have you tried MIF-washing your content?

Highlight text using conditional text

Hi,
I need to highlight text using conditional text in InDesign. I can highlight text using the below code.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
colorToHighlig = myDoc.conditions.add ({name:"Yellow",indicatorMethod:ConditionIndicatorMethod.USE_HIGHLIGHT, indicatorColor:UIColors.YELLOW});
app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedConditions = [colorToHighlig] ;
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "chapter";
myDoc.changeGrep();
But I need to set Indicator to "Show and Print" coz while generation pdf with indicator mode "show", highlights are missing in PDF. I can retain those highlights with the indicator mode "Show and Print". Dono how to set it..
If anyone know, pls help me.
Thanks in advance,
Sudha K

Hi,
it seems, that this one is not a property of the condition, it is a preference:
myDoc.conditionalTextPreferences.showConditionIndicators = ConditionIndicatorMode.SHOW_AND_PRINT_INDICATORS;
