Installing MarkerTools

If you are reinstalling, there is no need to uninstall the old version, but you may want to make a backup of the MarkerTools.ini file to save your settings. For information about uninstalling this tool, see Uninstalling MarkerTools.

  1. Extract the installer executable file from the ZIP file downloaded from www.leximation.com.
  2. Run the installer by double-clicking the executable file.
  3. Review the information provided and agree to the EULA to complete the installation.
  4. When prompted, select your FrameMaker version from the list, and continue.

The MarkerTools support files (DLL, CHM) are copied into a Pubs-Tools folder in your main FrameMaker folder (typically C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker<VERSION>) and the maker.ini file in your main FrameMaker folder is updated to reference this plugin DLL.

If you are installing on FrameMaker 8 or above on Windows Vista or Windows 7, the installation process creates a Pubs-Tools folder in your “AppData” area (typically C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\FrameMaker\<VERSION>). The Pubs-Tools.ini and MarkerTools.ini files are created in this location. If you are installing on an older FrameMaker version or an older version of Windows, these INI files are created in the Pubs-Tools folder in the main FrameMaker folder.

If this is the first time you have installed MarkerTools you will need to enter the authorization code before it can be used. You can request a 30-day trial code by choosing the Pubs-Tools > MarkerTools > Try Now command. Enter your trial or full authorization code by choosing the Pubs-Tools > MarkerTools > Enter Authorization Code command.
