RE: FM 7 and CS6 Illustrator art
Hi Steve, I checked with the Illustrator team - and they inform me that CS6 will back save. However, if you use a feature that is available in CS6 and not in CSpreviousversion, then, when you open the file in the CSpreviousversion, elements created using the newer features of CS6 will not be available for editing and manipulation. I believe they're 'flattened'.

FM 7 and CS6 Illustrator art
I have been using Illustrator CS6 for some months. The EPS files I generate work flawlessly with FM9 and with FM 11. I cannot imagine that they would not work with earlier versions of FM. One could also try good old tiff The improvements to Illustrator are very minor, not worth upgrading. Mine came with TCS4 so I upgraded by default. When are they going to redesign the graph tool.

FM 7 and CS6 Illustrator art
Thanks everyone for your input. It sounds like I shouldn't have any problems. Have a great weekend! -- Does anyone know of any issues importing CS6 Illustrator art into FM 7? We're still using FM 7 (obviously) and one of our vendors is planning on upgrading to CS6. Will they need to back save to a previous version? I vaguely recall hearing about art import issues, but maybe that was with earlier versions of FM. Thanks! -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

best web help add-on for FrameMaker 10?
Actually, there is a call similar to that: http:wwhelp/wwhimpl/api.htm?context== is a string you need to specify for merged help. It's kind of weird that it's required when you're not merging help, but no big deal. Web help URLs often look pretty gnarly. So I plan to switch to WWP. It fixes the rendering bug with RoboHelp 9 output in IE8 and the output looks much better than what we've been getting from RoboHelp.
