Getting earlier version of FM

2009-02-10 Thread Brewster, Christopher C
I've been a sporadic user of Framemaker but trying to learn more about it in case a job pops up that needs it. I have version 8 as part of the Adobe Technical Communication Suite. Well, a job did pop up, but it needs version 6 + SGML. Since I'm a licensed user, is it possible to get an earlier

Framemaker SDK and Framescript

I'm a long-time Word user and have written countless large and small programs with Word VBA. Many are to add functionality to the program and many others are to perform such tasks as format conversion. I'm unclear if there's an equivalent for Framemaker. I'd like to hear from users of the SDK and

I've been learning FM in the middle of a project, and it sometimes seems a bit ornery. I'm inserting graphics linked from a Powerpoint file. First I do Special Anchored Frame, and set Top of column. Then I paste the graphic into the frame. Twice today, after I have done this process 5 or 10

I'm trying to make a PDF version of a book. Just one file, the title page, causes a problem about using unavailable fonts, which makes the PDF operation fail. When I open the title page file, I change all the text to a font that's available, then save and close the file. But when I reopen it, I

Intermixing FM 7 and 8 documents

I have FM 8 but am working with people who use FM 7. When I open their documents, my software wants to convert to FM 8. I assume these other people would be unable to use the converted document, plus we need to print about 25 documents as a group. It seems that my software won't work with the

I'm learning FM as I go, out of necessity. I need to make an alternative version of a procedure, so I need a copy of the original appearing just after it, which I'll modify. The procedure contains a linked graphic. Simply copying a page didn't work because its contents were inserted into another

I inherited a publication done in Framemaker, which is something like a glorified Powerpoint handout: a typical page has a Ppt slide at the top. There's one Ppt file to one FM file, meaning that each graphic is linked to not only the Ppt file but to a particular slide in that file. When I
