2015-05-05 Thread Anne Magee
Hi everyone My company has asked me to test Omnihelp. They want to merge several help files at runtime. I can't get it to work and I'm running out of ideas. Can anyone here help, or can you point me at a reliable source? I have created three help files -- the main file and two subfiles. Each

Just a $.02 contribution... but you may not be able buy 11, unless you're on a corporate license plan. FM 12 is faster and more stable than 11, IMHO, so you may want to go there for everyone, and 13 is likely to be in development. Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com ... In my

Happy Tuesday Framers! We are adding a writer and current have FM10. I want to buy FM10 or FM11 but am not sure if FM11 is completely backward compatible with FM10. Can anyone verify that the FM working files are interchangeable between FM11 FM10, with no special save to FM10 steps? I know

Adobe has changed the FrameMaker binary file format with every FrameMaker release since 7.2. On average, this means a new binary file format every 18 months (the length of the historical FrameMaker release cycle). FrameMaker has maintained forward compatibility (each release opens binary

I've had differences of opinion and experience with others over the stability of FrameMaker 12 versus 11 (or previous releases). Stability appears to vary widely with different source files, practices, computing/network environment, etc. For example, I have a client who had a stable platform

Hi Jim, I wonder where you would buy FM 10 -- this is not available any more. I have been looking for a license recently, but I could not find any. You can still get FM11, but not directly from Adobe... AFAIK it is possible to buy the newest version (FM 12) and to use this license to
