I am using FrameMaker 10 to open SGML/XML files for PDF printing. I have a lot of manual things I have to do to the pages to get them the way the customer wants them, although the EDD & template does most of the work. This is the second big book I have done this way, so I know the process works, but for some reason it has suddenly broken on this book. It's a 1500-page manual, and I was at the end, preparing to start my TOC, but my book kept bombing. So I created a new book and imported all the files again, in case the old book had gotten corrupt. I also had to switch from structured to unstructured to do the TOC & other generated files, because for some reason it won't populate the correct paragraph formats, and I use several variations from the actual element names.
Anyway, somewhere along the line as I was generating the TOC, suddenly I started getting new errors stating this document is "View Only". It does it on every single file now. And I also noticed there are suddenly backup files of every file, when I don't use the backup feature. This makes me wonder if I voodoo'd some kind of Select All and View Only for all my documents or what? But then I go into the backup files, assumedly they would be fine, and nope, they are also View Only. I can't see the toolbar in View Only, so I can't take it off! How do I fix this?! I'm on a deadline.
