Hi Rich,

You can use FrameMaker as your source files. You'll need to go through ePublisher Pro or MIF2GO to get the output you want. It's non-trivial (read, "a huge PITA") to get everything working, but it can be done.

Here's some general information on ePub issues:

Good luck. If you decide you want professional help (hmmm...that sounds bad), give us a call.

Regards,

The CEO of my company has asked that I look into eBooks and the EPUB
standard. He sent me the link:

http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/design/crossmedia_resources/ebooks_software.html

I know nothing about this, so I'm on a real learning curve here. The first thing I notice is that Adobe is pushing InDesign as the vehicle to create
eBooks. This is a real stumbling block for me. We've got over 15 years
invested in FrameMaker and all our docs are created and maintained in
FrameMaker. My "books" are delivered as PDFs. I am loathe to shift from
FrameMaker to InDesign given our extensive history with FrameMaker.

My question is, can I create eBooks and EPUB documents from FrameMaker, or am I truly locked in to InDesign for the eBooks and EPUB standard? If I can use FrameMaker, where would I find information about using FrameMaker
to create eBooks and EPUB documents?

Thanks!
Richard
