files from FrameMaker documents.
Configuring FrameMaker 10 instance
To optimize the performance of FrameMaker in automated publishing tasks, make the following changes to
FrameMaker configuration. These changes are essential to run scheduled tasks on FrameMaker Server and modify the
FrameMaker Server behavior in the following ways:
• FrameMaker Server ignores unresolved cross-references, unresolved text insets, and missing graphics. You must
ensure that the source documents have been checked for all errors before initiating a build task.
• FrameMaker Server automatically opens and closes FrameMaker and RoboHelp instances. You cannot control
these operations.
• FrameMaker Server does not report missing fonts. You must ensure that the machine that hosts FrameMaker
Server has all the required fonts.
Edit the maker.ini file
