What I do is to create a welcome or home page (which is a PDF file) that
automatically launches when the CD is inserted. The welcome file contains links
to the other books on the CD. That makes it easier and quicker for the user to
navigate around the CD. Each book's PDF has a Return to Welcome Page bookmark
at the bottom, allowing the user to return to the home page to access a
different book.

Hi framers:
I need some advice from anyone with FM commercial experience of selling pdf
CDs.
With the advent of the rich media formats, my commercial pdfs are getting
bigger and bigger.
When compiling a final product should I generate the separate child books as
separate pdfs and then group them before copying the group to the final CD?.
Would the buyer have problem loading or reading the grouped files, or should I
just use my normal route of creating one huge pdf?
I also think, but do not know, that a customer with a smaller computer might
have a problem with a huge file, although my little laptop does not have a
problem with the single file although it flashes a message "This file is over
100MB"
Any pointers?

Dear all,
I'm a layman with respect to Dita, but need to convert a deeply nested DitaMap
to a FrameMaker book.
It turns out that Save DitaMap as "Book 11.0 with FM components (*.book)" does
not convert all items.
See the pdf for both the structure of the DitaMap and the resulting FM-book:
- The items from the backmatter are completely missing in the FM-book
- Starting somewhere in chapter 7 ditamaps are no more converted to FM
I wanted to do this in FM-9 at first, but this tilts during the Save DitaMap
as, Hence I do this in
FM-11.0.2.384
Ideas how to cope with this problem are highly welcome!
Klaus Daube

Hi Klaus,
See the recording of my DITA to PDF webinar I did for Adobe recently. You can
find the recording at http://adobe.ly/15QxArz.
You can skip to the 23:25 mark in the recording to listen to the part of the
presentation related saving as Fm, and related to the ditafm-output.ini.
