RoboHelp 11 for TSC 5 hangs when linking to FrameMaker 12 files

I have TCS5, RH11, FM12, all patched up.
I have a FM book that comprises only FM files and only one of those FM files has any images; the rest just have text that uses paragraph and character styles.
When I do the following, RH just hangs and I have to end task on it. I have given RH several hours, but the problem never resolves well. FM and all other applications except Google Chrome are closed when I do this.
1) Open RoboHelp.
2) Click File > New > Project.
3) Choose Application Help and click OK.
4) Enter appropriate content in the New Project Wizard and click Finish.
5) In RoboHelp, click File > Link > FrameMaker document.
6) Select either  the book file OR an individual fm file; experience shows what happens is the same either way.
7) Click Open.
At this point, the Scanning dialog box opens and animations of files moving left to right and being scanned displays. This never goes away. RoboHelp is done for.
How can I link FrameMaker files to a new project?

Hi,
There was nothing to update in FM, no generated lists, etc. Book opened fine as did all the FMs, though. Images in only one place, but PNGs nothing weird. Removed and reinstalled TSC 3 times. Am going to try importing.

  • Lightroom hangs when attempting to import RAW files from D750

    Hi guys,
    I purchased lightroom 5 sometime back to install on multiple platforms. Recently did an update on my macbook and it was able to read the NEF files from D750.
    However when I installed lightroom 5 on my iMac, the prog keeps hanging when I attempt to import files from the D750. Other NEF files from my D700 were ok.
    Anyone knows why?

    Could be a hardware issue
    Make sure the cable connection to the D750 is properly connected. Also, if possible try using a card reader. Or vice versa.

    Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.10 (Mac OS 10.9.3) hangs when trying to save some PDF files, after opening or after commenting.  Applies for any of the Save options.  "Watch" then "spinning beach ball" appear and application is indicated as "not responding."  Mac OS Preview has no problem with the same files.  Files can be displayed with Acrobat, just not saved.  I would prefer to use Acrobat's commenting tools to mark up the document.

  • Save As & Open Dialog Window for some documents hangs when custom VSTO plugin is installed

    Hello,
    I have created a VSTO application which uploads a word document to Document Management Server. The problem is not with this plugin, but after the plugin is installed, for certain documents when user makes some modification to the document and clicks on File
    -> Save As or File ->Open, the Save As/Open Dialog window, does  not show up and the Word application will be hung (spinning) as it should do if the Save As dialog window would have been shown. The only option is then to kill the WinWord process
    from Task Manager. When I kill the WinWord process from task manager, I see the Save As Dialog window appear for a split second before the WinWord Process shuts down.
    If I uninstall the VSTO application, everything works fine.
    Details on the application:
    Target Framework: .NET Framework 4
    Platform Target: x86
    OS (Developer and End User): Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64 bit
    Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010 Version: 14.0.6129.5000 (32-bit)
    Help!!

    Hi Eugene,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Yes I have tried an empty add-in project as well. Added a label to the ribbon and displayed a static text. I am able to reproduce the issue with this add-in as well. The issue is only reproducable if I deploy the add-in using a setup and deployment project.
    While building the project, Visual Studio installs the add-in by default. If I open the problematic documents with the "developement" version of the add-in installed, it seems to be working fine.

    Yogesh

    Since it could be reproduced if you deploy any add-in with a setup project, it seems this issue may be related to the your environment.
    It will be helpful if you could share the following information with us.
    The configuration about that setup project and your add-in.
    Whether your user account has admin privilege or not.
    To narrow down this issue, you could consider installing that add-in with setup project in a clean machine.
    If it could reproduce this issue, then we could focus on that setup project instead.
    If not, then we'd better focus on your environment to narrow down this issue.

  • DHTML hotspots don't work when linked from Framemaker

    I'm using Adobes Technical Communication Suite 4 on a 30-day trial to determine how well it will work for single-source publishing. I'm familiar with Robohelp (having used it for over a year) but have had almost no experience with Framemaker (and none with version 11, which is part of the suite).
    Until now, we've been writing in Word and importing files into Robohelp. We use the Dynamic HTML features of Robohelp to create drop-down and expanding text (usually to provide the definition of a term). Word doesn't provide a way to create them, so it has to be done in Robohelp after import. However, with Framemaker, I should be able to create these features in FM have them appear in a linked RH file. There is a Framemaker menu to support their creation.
    But when I attempt to do this, it doesn't work. The " text caption" (that the user clicks on to see the expanded or drop-down text) imports correctly into RH, but the expansion does not work. When clicking on the caption text in the HTML preview, the only thing that happens is that a single space appears where the drop-down text should be. The drop-down text itself remains invisible. (But I know it's there because I can find it in the HTML source code view.)
    I am probably doing something wrong when I set this up in FM. Here is my procedure.
    First, I type the text that will be clickable by the user to elicit the drop-down (this is what I presume Adode means by "text caption"). Then, in a new paragraph, I type the text that is intended to be displayed in the drop-down.
    The instructions (for drop-down text) in the help say:
    "Select the text or paragraph on which you want to place the drop-down text caption. "
    So I select the "text caption" text.
    "Select Adobe RoboHelp > Dynamic HTML Effects > Drop Down Caption"
    I select that menu choice.
    "Select the text that should appear as drop-down text in your online help page."
    I select the next paragraph, which contains the drop-down text.
    "Select Adobe RoboHelp > Dynamic HTML Effects > Drop Down Body"
    I select that menu choice.
    I save the file and then switch to Robohelp and update the linked file.
    The "text caption" then appears in the RH file, but the drop-down text does not appear (except in the HTML source code).
    What am I doing wrong?

    Problem solved, through experimentation.
    For the benefit of those who may experience this problem in the future: the secret is that there must be exactly one return (i.e. one press of the Enter key) between the "text caption" and the "drop-down text".
    If the text caption and drop-down text are on the same line, it doesn't work (the coding for the text caption is disrupted) and if there is anything besides a return between them, it doesn't work (the drop-down text is not displayed).

  • Firefox Hangs when profile location is Offline Files

    Hi all,
    We are having some problems with custom profile locations on windows 7
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" -Profile "U:\Firefox\Profile"
    We use the above command to launch firefox. The u drive is a drive that is ALWAYS available for all users. This drive is redirected to the home folder of the user. To sync these folders we use Offline files.
    During our testing fase we had no problems at all with this method. But in the last week we receive more and more people complaining that firefox hangs. (Read: no error specific error just stops responding and windows asks to close firefox)
    In my troubleshooting quest i found that as long as i don't use internet ( so not using our proxy server squid) it all works. But from the moment i try using for example google, firefox stops responding.
    The tricky part is that sometimes it happens after 5 minutes, couple of hours, few days.
    Once it happened after 5 minutes, the only way to solve it is to delete the profile folder on the U Drive and start over.
    So any help on identifying this problem is welcome. If more info is needed let me know what you need.

  • FF hangs when trying to save pdf files

    Adobe pdf documents open fine but when I try to save a copy, FF hangs (hourglass, stops responding). Right-click and "Save link as" also hangs.
    Under Tools->Options, if I select either "General" or "Applications", it hangs. All add-ons (there are only a few) are disabled, safe mode makes no difference.
    Sometimes, I can right-click on FF on the taskbar and close it, but usually I have to use the task list to kill it.
    IE (ugh) handles pdfs fine. I've changed the download directory, cleared the download history, cleared browsing history/private data, no change.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Can't correlate to a particular update, since I don't always open pdfs

    I tried uninstalling and re-installing FF 3.6.6 and then uninstalling and replacing it with 4.0beta. The program hangs under the following conditions (that I've found so far):
    Load pdf (I can no longer even view them)
    Click on "Tools>Options"
    Import bookmarks from an HTML file
    This happens with a clean install of FF, no changes whatsoever to the default configuration.
    On my home computers, FF works great, it's just here on my work machine. No coworkers have reported similar troubles with the same software. Is there a way I can figure out if another program is causing weird things to happen? Some diagnostic I can run that will indicate where FF is having trouble? Any assistance would be really appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • System hangs when copying large quantity of files from external HD

    A little background:
    I was having some problems with the original OS (10.4.1), including periodic freezes. I bought the Mac Box Set '09 and installed Snow Leopard (10.6.5), but ran into some problems and in the process had to reformat my internal hard drive. I backed up all of my photos (~16GB), Documents (~1.5GB) and Music (~50GB) on a WD external hard drive (My Passport 750GB).
    *The problem*: After the 10.6.5 install, the computer works great (no random freezing when I click around in Finder), but I am having trouble copying files back to the internal HD from the external. I can copy up to about 1GB at a time without any problems, but any time I try to copy more than that, the system hangs (first the spinning disk cursor, then it totally freezes) and I have to do a hard reset. I have tried copying a number of different folders (pictures and music), and the same holds true: small folders with a few files copy without a hitch, but any time I try to copy a lot of files at once: freeze city. This problem occurs whether I am using Finder to copy the files or iPhoto/iTunes to import them.
    I have verified both disks using the Disk Utility AND restructured/verified them using DiskWarrior. I also had no problem copying all of my files from My Passport to a second external HD using this MacBook, so I assume the Passport is fine. Is this a physical problem with my internal HD? If so, why can't DiskWarrior or DiskUtility catch it? I just noticed that there is an internal HD recall for this model of macbook, although I have never gotten the question mark on startup that would qualify me for a replacement HD from Apple. Maybe it's a problem with Snow Leopard... I would love to know if anyone has had this problem before or has some advice.
    Thanks,
    Sam

    External USB/FW drives 'falling off' or drives spinning down (going to sleep) and I would assume since you have been running 10.4 that the Passport might be older model, perhaps not the latest firmware, maybe not compatible with Macs and with Snow Leopard.
    Obviously you want FW800 but for some, USB worked where FW fails.
    Hard Reset: do you have another hard drive to boot from to run Disk Warrior? is that updated to 4.2 or later? you never want to run DW from CD. Else, boot from OS X 10.6.5; or Single User and run FSCK. HFS+ doesn't take kindly to hard restarts even though a Safe Boot helps a little, that isn't as good as FSCK or one of the other options.
    Disk Warrior Rebuild is more thorough, but if you hold OPTION while clicking on REBUILD it brings up more choices. And you want to scan the full hard drive.
    Going back to Aug/Sept 2009, there were a lot of threads about external hard drive issues. Wish I could point to a good one.

  • Firefox hangs when trying to save a file, even after removing firefox and reinstalilng afresh

    I recently experienced firefox hanging/freezing indefinitely when trying to save files, such as pdf files. The same pdf files open fine within the browser if I do not select "save link as...", but the problem occurs when I try to save such a file. The problem is similar regardless of the file type (e.g., .mp3, .txt). Not only did I go through the recommended solutions that mozilla suggests when file downloads hang, but I uninstalled firefox completely (removing all files with user settings), and then reinstalled firefox afresh without any plugins or add-ons, and I still have the same file save problem. It may also be worth mentioning that this problem does not occur in internet explorer or chrome. Maybe a system file that firefox uses got corrupted (?), but I don't know which one or how to repair it if that indeed is the problem.
    My system is running XP, and I have McAfee AV installed (which has not been a problem in the past).

    Early on I tried starting firefox in safe mode as one possible fix, and that didn't solve the problem. I just tried again right now with the fresh installation, and still no luck.
    Any other ideas?

  • Premiere hangs when it cant find cache files

    Hi all,
    My question:
    How do I force premiere to open my projects without searching endlessly for cache files?
    If this cant be done:
    What is the best way to create a network based central cache folder from which multiple users can draw from. (the problem of course is the potential for this file to grow exponentially)
    Background
    9 times out of 10 when I attempt to load my premiere projects off the network, the load bar will reach just about 95% and hang for an eternity. We have identified that our company bandwidth was getting a bit overloaded but I think another issue has reared its ugly head.
    Our company stores all premiere files and related footage on the network to allow for easy access from many users. However, when a user who did not create a certain project attempts to open it on their desktop, the same loading problem comes up. It appears that if I push my cache files to the network, point premiere to that folder, the file loads rather quickyl (indexing aside).
    So can I force premiere to give up on a hopeless search of the local computer for cache files and if not, how can I create an organized  system where many users can pull from the same cache folder. You will notice, if i simply create a central folder the following will take place:
    The folder will grow
    I will have to wipe it
    files will stop loading while premiere desperatly attempts to find non existant cache files.
    Thanks for your help.
