FM 7.1 compatibility

[Carolyn Power]

I am using FrameMaker 7.1 and Acrobat 9 Professional on Windows XP. I
also use MS Office 2007. 

Due to a tech author colleague getting a new PC with Windows 7 and MS
Office 2010 (new company policy), we need to upgrade to Acrobat X
Professional. 

Will FrameMaker 7.1 be compatible with that version of Acrobat? And
indeed Windows?

 

Many thanks,

Carolyn.

Re: FM 7.1 compatibility

[Art Campbell]

FM generally will work fine with Acrobat X, but SaveAs PDF won't work
from within FM because the location of the Acrobat files have changed
over the last three releases.

Probably way past time to upgrade FM to the current release too,
especially if you want to import those Office 2010 docs cleanly

Strange.

I find importing Visio files as OLE objects (from Visio 2000 to FM 7.2) 
to work just fine. When I try to FileInsertFile (by reference) it 
doesn't recognize the Visio file format, and Visio is not in the list. 
Perhaps my version of Visio is too old.

 However, FM has always had issues with OLE, I recommend
 avoiding it on any and all OSes.

You can't directly import Visio files because FrameMaker
doesn't have a filter to convert such files to FrameMaker's
limited graphics model (or for that matter to EPS).

Oh dear god, I'd never actually use OLE, I was just listing it as the  
one problem that another user was experiencing. Importing by  
reference is the only way to go, especially if you have to do  
localization.


As for the hardware, we'd planned on new dual core systems and our  
type of software requires a kickin' video card and RAM. We are near  
our point in the cycle for an upgrade so it seems fairly logical.


Perhaps I'll try FM on our test system first.

Thanks for the input.

You don't need OLE.  Import graphics by reference.  If you double-click on

FM 7.1 Compatibility

[William Gaffga]

Hi all.

Now that it is out, I am looking at moving (at least some of) our Doc  
Group to Vista. I don't particularly want to but we always do the  
screenshots on the latest OS. So, that will of course require some  
software upgrades.


One person on the Adobe Forums has with mostly success ... he had  
some OLE issues but that is not surprising. Has anyone here tried FM  
7.1 running on Vista? I'd be interested in the results. If I can  
avoid an upgrade to 7.2 to save a few bucks that'd be nice.


TIA.

Will.

RE: FM 7.1 Compatibility

[Dov Isaacs]

To be fair, I would not say that FM has always had
issues with OLE but rather that OLE has always required
two to tango and to tango to the same music at that!
Adobe's use of OLE in FrameMaker is actually fairly
stable. On the other hand, some Microsoft applications,
notably Visio as a particular example, have been known
to have somewhat less than robust OLE implementations.
FWIW, I had some live FrameMaker documents with OLE
links into Excel spreadsheets that worked like a charm
all the way from FrameMaker 5.5.6 through 7.1. The only
reason I don't use that OLE scenario anymore is that I
don't use that document anymore!

 No.
 
 I wouldn't move a production machine to Vista for at least 
 another 9 months.
 I'd run SnagIt on the test box and document on XP.
 
 However, FM has always had issues with OLE, I recommend 
 avoiding it on any and all OSes.

RE: FM 7.1 Compatibility

PS: I would strongly concur about any migrations from
Windows 2000 or especially Windows XP to Vista. Unless
you have a brand new system with tons of memory, dual
cores, high speed graphics card, and plenty of extra
disk space, use of Vista to support typical FrameMaker
and associated support programs (including Photoshop,
Illustrator, and Acrobat) buys you precious little other
than a sluggish system. Best idea is to wait until you
need to replace your current computers.

Re: FM 7.1 Compatibility

[T.W. Smith]

Agreed. I did not mean to blame FM. Rather, I meant to recommend against
OLE.

Import graphics by reference. From Visio, this means PDF or EPS created from
PDF. Works for me like a charm. (Actually, I usually go furhter and import
that into illustrator, edit from there, and use the AI--PDF as Dov
rightfully notes--in FM.)

FM 7.1 Compatibility

[William Gaffga]

Hi all.

Now that it is out, I am looking at moving (at least some of) our Doc  
Group to Vista. I don't particularly want to but we always do the  
screenshots on the latest OS. So, that will of course require some  
software upgrades.

One person on the Adobe Forums has with mostly success ... he had  
some OLE issues but that is not surprising. Has anyone here tried FM  
7.1 running on Vista? I'd be interested in the results. If I can  
avoid an upgrade to 7.2 to save a few bucks that'd be nice.

TIA.

Will.
