I have time for experiments ...
I have set up an FM-14 document with text features introduced in
various versions.
Then I saved to an older FM-version using my script [1]Save FM document
or book in older version
I wanted to be certain whether the user gets strange messages when
he/she opens the saved document in the older FM version.
It turns out that everything works silently - there are no messages in
the console log and no open messages.
There seem to be a magic tag on these features for FM to be able to
strip them out when saving to an older version. I assume this, because
the file sizes differ:
Original FM-14 73'728
saved as FM-10 67'584
saved as FM-09 68'608
Until now I assumed that the "save as old" process just saves and
indicates an old version and only the open process in the old
FM-version skips unknown stuff - as it done with the MIFs.
Is this a completely wrong assumption/interpretation of the process?
If my findings are solid: It should be easy for Adobe to allow "Save as
old" down to FM-8 similar to my script (Thats the Unidoce 'border').
What is (might be) the reason to just save 'down' one version?
