The information on the Auto Save option is incorrect, and I've never heard
of the "Page Master" tool. Admittedly I haven't used FM as long as you
have, Syed, but I've used it since 5.5.6 and I have never seen a feature
that lets you "merge all your document into one page".

Sorry to hear of your bad experience, Bodvar. Good to hear that Adobe's
tech support agent did work hard to resolve the problems initially. Hoping
that if/when the expected failures occur, you'll get similar expert
assistance from Adobe.
I may not be the only one who's interested to hear of your
I have no real clue about Affinity, but you may find this interesting:

For me, I switched to LaTeX (for my technical documents) after FM12 when the
pricing/upgrade costs went berserk (IMHO), and from InDesign (minimal use
And yes, I'm sure they were talking about Master pages, but that's not
really what Master pages do, either!

Hello all you great people!
Sorry for the (Adobe) rant.
Due to my laptop's old age I found myself needing a new pc, a desktop this
time. All is well with everything but Adobe FM. I recently tried to install
my FM12 which I had lost any info about, and got a categorical No Go from
Adobe Support
Hi, Sayed
My FM roots began with v. 2.0 on Mac! Thanks for the link to the FM -
Affinity comparison at fixthephoto. I found its information unhelpful from
a user's POV.
More power to you for having the ability to use major tools like LaTeX!
Hoping to hear from Böðvar on his Affinity
My turn. And I know that I'm not alone with what I describe below.
So now that I am doing occasional contract work with FM10, I fear that at some
time, I also will need to upgrade my desktop hardware and attempt an FM10
reinstall and may encounter the same thing Bodvar did.
With a giant
Does anyone know if Affinity Publisher can open/save FM or MIF files?
I like the idea of a one-time purchase, quite a bit actually. I think I'll
give it a try.

Ummm, how does $29.95/month or $359.88/year (with the generous 0% prepayment
discount...) translate into "a grand (or whatever)" for a FrameMaker
subscription? Sure, that's pretty steep if you're only working on a single
contract, but it's less than half the single-license purchase price in the
AFAIK, the MIF Filter converter for InDesign, from dtptools.com, is the
only non-Adobe/non-FM tool that can read MIF into another proprietary
application's format. Some FM features are translated better than others.
You can subscribe to InDesign month-by-month whenever you need to use it.
Folks
At least something to think about when that time arrives.

MadCap Flare does a great job of importing FrameMaker files. I'm not a
big fan of it since it's installed single-user Windows software, but
it's a very powerful tool that can do almost everything FrameMaker
can, usually better, and a lot more besides.
If you use FrameMaker only for page layout,
Cost is relative. So is time. Consider what deliverable formats are/will be
required, and the effort to convert from those you can create on your
current setup, and what formats future projects will require. One option
might be to reserve your current working outfit for paying contract work,
