Hello Karen,

Have you been able to resolve this issue? I'm encountering a similar issue while going through the FrameMaker 8 Help topics: Processing XML > Migration from Unstructured FrameMaker to XML > Getting started with structure.

I have followed along with all the examples all the way down to the "Testing XML round-tripping" topic. When I go to the step: Export the FrameMaker file to XML, and select my XML application, I get a parsing error similar to what you had mentioned above.

The Help topics have you first build an EDD for a simple document (proposal) - successful.

They then have you open a new document and import the EDD - successful.

They then have you add formatting to the EDD and then reimport into your document to test it. - successful

They then have you build the structured app by saving the EDD to DTD. You are then supposed to create a template by removing all the content from your original file that they had you open and save it as a template. Then you are supposed to edit the application definition file. Finally you copy the template and the DTD to the Adobe FrameMaker 8 folder. - successful

I've done this process twice and each time I get the same Save to XML Log error message when trying to export my document to XML.

The first things that are displayed are the path the source and destination folders.

Next is the XML parser error messages (Document Prolog).

There are basically 2 parsing errors, line 3 and 9.

line 3, "Could not open DTD file" C:\DOCUME~1\MICHAE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\$STRUCTDIR\XML\Preface\Preface.dtd
Error in processing external entity reference"

line 9, "Could not open DTD file" C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/michael_randall/My%20Documents/FrameEDDTemplatePractice/$STRUCTDIR/XML/Preface/Preface.dtd
Error in processing external entity reference"

Please let me know if have any new information.

Thanks,
Michael Randall
