The FM10 manual states that FM internally uses UTF-8. Maybe knowing that will help you in your single-sourcing to ASCII, assuming that FM to PDF is not the problem.
"About Unicode Unicode is an industry standard that allows computers to represent text in most of the world's languages in a consistent way. It is implemented by different character encodings, such as UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32. FrameMaker supports all three encodings but stores files in UTF-8. If you import files encoded in UTF-16 or UTF-32, FrameMaker automatically converts them to UTF-8."

If not, how about a utility to check text files for invalid characters? It's surprising to me how hard it is to single-source PDF and ASCII from the same FM source. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as craigede at hotmail.com.
