Frame to iBook format?

[Tina Ricks]

Does anyone have any pointers to exporting Frame documents to the new iBook
format for the as-yet-unavailable iPad? I know it's based on XML, but I'm
searching for specifics, if there are any.

Re: Frame to iBook format?

[Scott Prentice]

Hi Tina...

This format is EPUB (or Open eBook) ..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_e-book_formats#EPUB

It is basically a zipped set of XHTML files with a manifest that 
describes how the files are to be ordered. You'd either need to author 
in structured FM and export to XHTML, then create the manifest (either 
manually or from some script that converts a book file) .. or use some 
HTML conversion from unstructured FM. I'd imagine that this would be a 
fairly simple export from Mif2Go or any HAT that exports HTML from FM 
files. If someone's not working on it yet, I'll bet that there will be a 
DITA-OT plugin to generate an EPUB deliverable .. soon.

Re: Grayscale Images are RGB

[David Creamer]

From separate posts

 I will not be doing a major catalog in InDesign. That would take who knows how
 long. Framemaker is the best thing out there for catalogs period.

I know both programs fairly well and could not make that blanket statement.
I would say it depends on the catalog, personnel, and other factors.


 Migrating to InDesign is a *** H U G E *** task and may not be able to
 provide enough functionality. InDesign is fantastic in many aspects, but
 Framemaker definitely has its advantages and is -- for some tasks -- far
 superior to InDesign.

There is a plug-in that can convert MIF files to ID (from dtptools.com).
Of course, with any conversion, there will be some clean up work.

Most people think that ID cannot work with large documents, but I was
recently conversing with users that have produced documents over 2000 pages.

I have a PDF that compares IDCS4, Frame 9, and Quark 8.1:

Sorry if this is already covered. I didn't quite nail search terms to find
the answer.  Glad to follow URL's if available.

I understand pdf insertions and deletions can be tracked back to FM9,
somewhat as Word has a Review accept/reject capability.

Anyone FM9 users utilizing this? How well does it work?

Can the trackback drill all the way through books to documents and then
their text insets?

Best,

Whitney
