Dear Frame Users,
?
We are?a small Tech Pubs group using FM 7.2 on Windows XP platform. Recently,
it started to behave strangly and refused to import any Visio drawings. There
seems to be no known cure for it with the current setup. Maybe it was?automatic
Windows?SP upgrade that did the mischief. It suddenly stopped accepting Visio
drawings in their native format (.vsd). The situation is so bad that even if we
can import a Visio drawing, we are not able to save the document until we purge
that drawing!
?
I called Adobe Tech Support few times and finally learned from them that they
do not support Visio on FM 7.2 anymore!? Of course, we can import jpeg, pdf,
tiff, etc. So we are contemplating on upgrading to FM 9.
?
I would appreciate if some of you could answer some of my questions.
?
1. Is it backward compatible with older versions? If so, how far back does it
go? For example, can it open FM 6 docs and Save As FM6 or FM7 docs?
?
2. We use FM 7.x templates. Would?there be?any?compatibility issues?
?
3. What are the primary new features of FM9 and what is your overall experience
with it?
?
I will appreciate any feedback.
