2012-02-10 Thread Karen Robbins


Hello Framers,

And if you use FrameMaker 9 (or even 10) for legacy Frame documents 
under Parallels because you are a Mac shop? What better options might 
we have?


Thanks,
Karen

All,

I have recently done this investigation on behalf of a client. Of the methods
I explored (both published and home cooked), the approach described below is
by far the easiest I have found. It also provides for sufficient flexibility
and tweaking to provide for known device peculiarities, such as documents
intended for off-site technicians, etc.

I am one who does not like long and complex processes in which there are
potential fail points built in when a short and simple approach is available.

 I am the Product Manager of FrameMaker. There is currently a easy way to

Hi Karen...

Not a direct solution, but I've got a very beta plugin called FM2Pages 
that generates an Apple Pages file from an FM file (for FM8 on up). At 
this point it's barely more than a proof of concept, and only exports 
the paragraph content and paragraph style names. But the intent is that 
you can use this to get from FM to Pages then import into iBooks Author 
or export from Pages to EPUB.

If you're interested in playing with this, contact me off-list.

I ran my tests using VirtualBox running Win7 that is installed on a bootcamp
partitiion, on a Macbook Pro on OS X 10.6.8. Worked fine.

As it stands, most of my files are 7 (Mac) to 7.2 with a large number from 5.5
and 6.

 Hi John,

You might give BlueBeam (http://www.bluebeam.com/) a try. I've not
personally used it but know folks who do and swear by it.

NOTE: I work for WebWorks.

If you are running under Parallels, you should be able to make use of 
the Adobe TCS.  However, if you aren't looking to upgrade your 
FrameMaker environment just to publish ePUB output, check out WebWorks 
ePublisher.  It works with FrameMaker versions 7.2, 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0.
