I am trying to publish TM that is around 8000 page. We can publish each chapter separately but when we combined into whole TM, we get this error . 

 

PTC Arbortext Editor (Build 8.1.3.1-2) terminated unexpectedly at Fri Feb  6 15:21:47 2026:

Just did a quick search of the PTC help

 

Looks like it has been asked before also with no solutions

Dear Customer,

 

Have you made any changes to this ACL? Did you customise this?

Thank you Manpreet and bfriesen,

 

we have not modified any ACL. Per PTC support ticket https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS410678?source=search

 

I have test version of Editor 8.3.1. Ran thorough the same manual, I got signal 22 error.
