Cannot Import Framemaker files to Flare (missing from disk)

Post by Elaine_of_Sefas »

Problem – Cannot import older FMs into MCF using
Framemaker 2017 Release &
MadCap Flare 2018

1. The FM files are opened and saved to the 2017 version of FM. This Framemaker book compiles and can be made into a PDF from fM
2. Do usual Framemaker Book import
3. Get errors on FM side –
4. Framemaker displays an internal error

Failed to import files.

When you select Close you get The Accept Imported Documents. If you select Accept, you get stuck in never ending loop.

Any suggestions on possible fixes?
