RoboHelp 9 Crashes When Publishing From Framemaker 10

Hello,
I am attempting to publish my Framemaker 10 doc in Robohelp 9. When I click publish, RoboHelp launches, and then quickly crashes while it says it's "loading components".
Both products are part of the TechComm Suite.
Anyway, it doesn't matter if I choose HTML Help, Adobe Air, WebHelp, for Flashhelp...this problem surfaces in exactly the same way.
The installation and output folders are all located on my local machine.
I can go to my Robohelp project and import my FM Book and get it to generate from there, but the problem with this approach is that it imports all of the xref references with each TOC entry, so this is unusable and impractical to edit by hand.
Is there an error log saved somewhere, so I can get more details on when exactly the application is crashing?

Not sure what you mean if you go into RH and import it – that’s basically what publishing is doing in FM. Have you set up a project and saved off the setting in the .isf file first? I believe you need to do that before the publish option really works.

Error message when publishing from Captivate 4 to MS Word 2003

Is anyone else getting an error message when publishing from Captivate 4 to MS Word 2003? I tried all 4 types and still get the following:
"An error was encountered while publishing to Word. Verify the following and try again. Word is installed on your system. Word is not busy."
Word is installed on my system and was not in use, so I am not sure why the error. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance!

Hi there
I use Captivate 4 and it publishes to Word 2003 without issues.
Perhaps it has to do with the way your Word 2003 has been installed? Either that or it's a "rights" issue to be addressed by your IT propellerheads?
Cheers... Rick

Robohelp crashes when generating HTML output; under one "condition"

My project has several conditional build tags, and I use just two of them.
I have switched between conditions a million times when I generate output, but now RoboHelp crashes when I use "Condition B".
It is still successful on Condition A.
The Output View says:
Starting compilation ....
HTMLHELP preporcessor 8.0.0.203
Compiling
c:\HelpForGeomagicApps\!SSL!\Microsoft_HTML_Help\!chm_tmp_folder_4\ProjectName_EN.chm
Preparing to create HTMLHELP...
Clearing output folder...
Preparing files for HTML Help...
Copying files...
Updateing files....
AND THEN SHE CRASHES.
Any advice?

What I meant by "creating a new SSL" was right clicking in the Single Source Layouts pod and selecting New Layout. From the resulting dialog, select the required output type and set its properties the same as the other one. However the Dr.Watson reference may give us more of a clue as to the problem. See this link for further info.

Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro

Media Encoder crashes when exporting from Premiere Pro. I am queueing multiple files for export and Media Encoder will crash. The computer system has 32GB of RAM and the videos export fine in Premiere, but that requires exporting each one individually. Each video file is being down converted and some can be quite long (upwards of 3-5 hours). Nothing else is running on the computer that would take up memory.
Any idea why Media Encoder will crash?

Try turning off GPU acceleration.

Crashing when waking from sleep

This has just recently started, but my mac pro now occasionally (increasingly) crashes when waken from sleep. I've verified disks, repaired permissions in safe mode, reset my preferences, all of that fun stuff but it continues. Attached are screenshots of my error reports. I would appreciate it if anyone could provide some feedback as to what appears to be the problem.

Check your BIOS revision. If it is below 5.10 get update here:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=pv-68611-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&...=
It should solve the issue with resuming from sleep mode.

CS5 crash when importing from external library

Hello.
I am using Flash CS5 on Win7 64 bit. I have made a flash site. On this site I am trying to add a photo gallery. I bought a flash XML photogallery from Active Den. The gallery is working fine but to get this into my site I need to import the library items into my flash site fla file. What happens is this. I drag the main movie clip from the photo gallery fla onte the stage of my flash site fla. So far so good. When publishing it shows up but without some parts.
When trying to import the missing items from the photo gallery fla to my flash site fla the program crashes. Done it a billion times now and allways the same result. All but the main movie clip causes the program to crash on importing/dragging to stage.
Installed the latest updates but no luck.
Please help!!!!
Sincerely
Ronny

No I tried both neither seems to be working on my system. I used Duplin version 2.5 because 2.6 requires Leopard and I am running tiger.
this is a mess, and I haven't done anything but import the files, I don't want to start setting up play list until I can figure out one of two things.
Why it did it in the first place, I could delete everything and reimport.
Or how to clean it up with doing it one track at a time.
Thanks

Flash 8 crashes when publishing (Mac 10.3.9)

I've searched the forums and haven't found an instance that
is relevant enough to my situation.
Pretty basic, really. I have a registered version of Flash
and I go to publish. Not doing anything crazy with the publish
settings. The document I'm working on isn't immense or overly
complex, either.
It gets about 1/3 or 1/2 through publishing it, then crashes
(i.e., "The application Flash has unexpectedly quit.").
This is part of the message that my OS sends to Apple...
"Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001)
Codes: KERN_INVALID_ADDRESS (0x0001) at 0x0e8e8d9e"
What's all that about?
From what I've read, Flash is a bit buggy (hit & miss)
with this whole crashing thing.
Anybody have any links or idears on how to get this fixed (or
at least working better/more reliably)?
I've repaired permissions, run Onyx (i.e., deleted system
cache, etc. etc.), restarted, updated, repaired permissions,
restarted. . .
In a pickle...
Can some kind soul help me out? I hate pickles...
Thanks,

Well, I talked to Adobe support last night for about an hour
and this is the scoop. Evidently, I was only having problems with
one of my documents. I was able to successfully publish a different
document. I was also able to save it, too. This document, however,
was much simpler than the one I was having problems with.
In my troublesome document, I had imported some .swf
animations that I had exported from ImageReady. I didn't realize
that Flash creates a .swf library symbol,
and two library instances of
each frame (a bitmap and a movieclip symbol).
I realized that I had many, many duplicates and duplicates of
duplicates. My document had become ridiculously huge (~227MB). I
deleted all those instances, re-imported the .swf file and got my
file size down to about 77MB. I was now able to save my document,
but I still couldn't publish it.
So, the support guy told me to go into "Publish Settings",
click on the "Formats" tab and deselect "HTML". Click the publish
button at the bottom of the dialogue window and presto! It
published (albeit without the HTML file).
That's about where it ended. The support guy couldn't figure
out why this document was crashing Flash when trying to publish
both the .swf
and .html files. He recommended a work-around of creating
the HTML file in Dreamweaver. I had already been hand-coding the
html file as a work-around, so that's where we left it.
So, this is what I learned:
1. Repair permissions, run Onyx & clear your system cache
(don't have Onyx for 10.3.x? You can download the
zip
file. You need admin access. Be careful with it, you can screw
up your computer. Be conservative with the settings. Use at your
own risk).
if this doesn't solve it, then:
2. Make sure you're up-to-date on your system software, Flash
software, and Flash player. Repair permissions again after updating
any software.
if this doesn't solve it, then:
3. Go to Users > username > Library > Application
Support > Macromedia and rename the Flash 8 folder as "Flash 8
old". Flash will create a new folder when you load it (it's an app
preference folder). You may delete "Flash 8 old" if this solution
doesn't end up really screwing things up (or you can delete it if
it fixes your problem). If this solution does end up creating
problems (or if you had certain settings you just can't lose),
delete the new "Flash 8" folder and rename "Flash 8 old" to "Flash
8".
If it still doesn't work, re-evaluate your .fla:
4. Limit the size and complexity of your .fla (delete
superfuous library instances)
5. Library instances can become corrupt, leading to a crash
(delete suspect ones, re-create them)
6. Fonts can become corrupt, leading to a crash (validate
your fonts)
7. Importing .swf files into your .fla file is iffy, due to
different compression(?) settings. This could be the culprit in my
circumstance. I may try doing a loadmovie deal on it at some
point... when I figure out where/when it could be loaded in the
background.
7. Publish your .fla without the .html document.
If all else fails and your Flash app just ain't workin', here
are instructions for uninstalling the studio (and it appears,
individual applications):

Flash CS6 crashes when publishing fla`s with big libraries

Hi guys,
I am currently working with Flash CS6 and i noted that the bigger the libraries in my fla`s get the more likely flash will crash when i try to publish these fla`s. It already has gotten to a point where all the crashes, and then trying again to publish, has taken up a considerable amount of my time. But the thing is the publishing does not alway result in a crash, its more like 80% of the time it crashes. Also what i do once a file has crashed, i open it again and then just open and close some folders in the library, then safe and then try to publish again. After doing this 4 - 5 times publishing suddenly works again, but also just 4 - 5 times until it crashes again and i have to do it all over again.
So again, this only seems to happen with fla`s with big libraries. Is ther something i can do about this?

It's been my experience that Flash doesn't much like a few things in particular. One is large vector files with a lot of points; in other words stuff brought in from Illustrator or trace bitmapped from within the program so you might try reducing the amount of points in your art if you'r working with imported art. Flash seems to work best when all art has been created within the program. If you've converted it to vector via the Trace Bitmap or Illustrator's Live Trace it doesn't like that either. It also tends to bog down with high resolution bitmaps, especially with many layers (which greatly add to the file size) so you might try to flatten some of the art to make it more managable. In general, maybe see if you can reduce whatever file sizes you can in your project before you import them. I typically have some pretty big libraries and Flash doesn't crash so much for me so changing your workflow a bit might be useful. IF it's code that's crashing the render, that I can't help you with, but there's some pretty knowledgable people on this board who might be able to help in that regard.

Mac Projector Crashes When exported From Flash CS5.5

Something strange that i noticed, when i had exported a presentation for a Mac,
on a 64 bit windows 7 using flash cs5.5.
the applicaton gets the paths of a few swfs from an XML file
and loads them one after the other.. there is a small bit of interactivity.
.. tested this projecter on various versions of MAC, it crashes often,crashes earlier if i switch applications. what follows here is a part of a report that was generated on an OS X 10.7.3,
works fine if the projector is exported from flash cs5.
i need it to work when exported from flash cs5.5.. any suggestions on what i need to change in my application so that it works when exported from flash cs5.5?
Your help would be appreciated Thanks in Advance

Looks like it was a memory problem with the jvm.ini file.
Pumped it up to 256 and it works now.
Hope this helps anyone else in the future if they come across it.
Thanks.

Crash when waking from sleep

My Mac Pro 2x2.66 with 1GB of memory crashes when I try to awaken it.
I tried using control + eject (rather than the Apple menu sleep as the instruction book suggests) to put the machine to sleep as suggested here. For a while it worked. Now that’s quit working too.
I have tried different settings as I can think of on Energy Saver in Systems Preferences, including default. No difference.
When put to sleep or when it goes to sleep automatically, the LED on the front pulses as it’s supposed to. But when I try to awaken it by pushing the space bar of the keyboard, it reboots.
Have tried all the usual — unplugging all the USB devices etc — with no change.
The problem occurs whether the energy saver preference is locked or unlocked. But when the machines reboots, energy saver is always unlocked, even when it was locked when it was put to sleep. Is this normal?
Anyone have any idea what might be plaguing this otherwise great machine?
Mac Intel 2.66 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

If you want to lock control panels, use the Security preference.
If you want a good book on OS X, The Missing Manual series are a good start.
I would look for 3rd party background startup items; repair the drive with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior - boot from your emergency drive, or at least from a backup clone.
I would not work with just 1GB. I did, and was always using 900MB all the time (or more).
At one point, my PCIe FW controller and Apple Display prevented sleep (freeze on wake) but 10.4.9 cured that (or disconnect ACD and use another display) or remove PCIe.
Run Apple Hardware Test just to be sure.
Deep clean your caches. Test your prefs for corruption. Do a clean install on another drive and then only carefully add one item every two days to see if it works.
I've seen old VGA displays cause problems too. Or video card.
My guess, your system's directory is getting clobbered and corrupt in the process only making for more symptoms. During shutdown or logout, the system writes to directory and backup directory. OS X is not immune from corruption and the journal filesystem is not going to protect a hard restart.
Don't rule out anything. Even the keyboard as the culprit.
Trying "all the usual" usually means doing a SMC reset for starters.

Premiere Elements 11 crashes when importing from a DVD

Hi, I'm having trouble with my Adobe Premiere Elements 11.
I am trying to get footage off a set of DVDs I shot a while back (shot on a DVD cam, I forget what the model is cuz it wasnt mine) Anyway, Everything went fine for the 1st 3 DVDs, but when I got to the 4th, when I went to "get media" it does nothing for awhile, then if you try to click it freezes and the dialog box pops up saying the program is not responding and closes.
Also, after that happened, it does the same thing with the other DVDs when I go back to try them. I can play it via my DVD player software, but Adobe crashes when I try to get the media.
Also, after this error in adobe, my DVD drive locks and I can't eject via the manural button, and when i right click on the drive in My Computer hit eject, it says "error ejecting DVD-RW Drive"
I have to eaither log off/restart or go into the properties and disable the drive and reenable to be able to eject the DVD.
I really don't understand whats going on, and why its doing this. Nothing changed on my computer inbetween ripping the DVD media, as I was doing them all back to back. I would import from DVD, then export as WMV so I could send the footage to someone (the .VOB files wouldn't work for this and my file converters where not working right)
I have done an uninstall and reinstall (with a registry clean in between) and even a system restore to a previous point to resolve another issue I was having. (Could not make new folders)
But Adobe/DVD drive is still having this issue.
I'm running on an HP Pavilion dm4-1165dx Laptop with Win 7 64bit btw. I can get exact specs later if its nessesary. But it was working just fine until I got to the last DVD so IDK why it would just quit on me like this.

John T.,
You are correct. I probably was not clear in my question.
If the miniDVD's were produced correctly, and all discs were finalized, first doing a Copy of those miniDVD discs to the HDD, would be my first step.
While one can Import directly from DVD's, there are a couple of possible issues:
The process will be much slower, than Importing from Copies on the HDD, especially an internal HDD.
One will not have to have the particular miniDVD's inserted into the multi-drive (not possible with most computers and only one multi-drive.
Good luck to the OP,
Hunt

InDesign CS5 crashes when I paste text, a text frame or a graphic from another InDesign CS5 document. I upgraded from OSX 10.6.8 over the weekend.

In-place upgrades are always a crapshoot. Try trashing the prefs (see Replace Your Preferences), but most likely you'll have to reinstall ID at the very least. YOu may have to do a clean install on the OS as well.
