FrameMaker 6.0

FM6.0p357, released April 2000

Note: See also issues present in previous releases of FrameMaker, as as they may also apply to FrameMaker 6.0 (unless indicated otherwise)

• (fixed in FM7.1) DocInfo values (PDF Setup) are reset when importing formats from other documents with the Document Properties category turned on (become blank when importing from the current document).
• Corrections in FrameMaker 6.0 (ATN 325247)
• Extra Bookmarks in a PDF File Created from a FrameMaker Book (ATN 327097)
• Text characters missing in printed FrameMaker document or in PDF file (ATN 324972)
• Can’t Locate Online Manuals, Samples, and Clip Art Included with FrameMaker 6.0 or Later (ATN 325962)
• Error when creating a PostScript file (“Cannot write to specified print file”, FrameMaker on Windows 2000, XP) (ATN 331115)
  Solution: recreate the FILE port (if missing) and then create a PostScript file.
• Error “Cannot display some imported graphics. The images will appear as gray boxes” occurs after you rotate PDF file in FrameMaker (6.x-7.0 on Windows) (ATN 327178)
• Random named destinations are missing in PS output (causing bad links) when Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs (PDF Setup, Links tab) is turned off, resulting in bad links/bookmarks
  [Distiller 5 displays the following: "Warning: The following Names in Name Tree Dests were not defined", but this warning will not be displayed if the book is printed to separate files and the missing destination is used by a cross-file link]
  Workaround: Turn on Create Named Destinations for All Paragraphs.
• FrameMaker crashes (6004, 4374856, 6618507, 6618421) when trying to open the Print dialog twice. To reproduce: Open a .book file and right-click any chapter line in the list. From the context menu, click Print. From the Print dialog, click the PDF Setup button. Close the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog. With the Print dialog still open, click another chapter line in the .book file. From the context menu, click Print… Frame crashes. [Damon Constantinides]
• When searching book-wide, FrameMaker may go into a loop within one chapter.
  Workarounds: switch to Find Backward for one find, then deselect Find Backward [Alannah McTighe]; click within the chapter and then the book-wide search continues after a few more stops within the loop chapter [Roger Jones].
• Limitations of Tagged PDF Content from FrameMaker, in Creating Accessible PDF Files from FrameMaker 6.0 in Windows (ATN 326295)
• When opening a MIF file and printing it to a PS file after turning Acrobat data on (or occasionally with a binary FrameMaker file if the file was last saved when Acrobat data was off), hypertext links in otherwise empty table cells on body pages 2 and higher may be incorrectly placed (typically in the top-left corner of the page). This is visible when viewing the PDF in Acrobat with the Link tool turned on.
  Workaround: save the file as a binary FrameMaker after turning Acrobat data on, then open and print.
• FrameMaker crashes (x004,5132552,5131686,5131456) when saving a List of Markers if source markers have more than one paragraph.
  Workaround: use a single paragraph in the marker text, with
indicating new lines [Shirley Yardeni]
• FrameMaker/Windows: Using f to search for end of flow or end of table cell does not work as described in the user guide and help; use x0b instead [Stefan Gentz]
