The current version of FrameScript (4.1R2) works with FrameMaker 8.0. Of course, the new functionality in FM 8.0 will not be available until Adobe releases the FDK libraries for version 8.0. Frank Elmore Project leader for FrameScript - Original Message - From: "Mike Wickham" To:

I am also an FM8 beta tester and all of the plugins I have from Bruce Foster and Chris Despopulous (I hope I spelled that right) worked fine. I think someone else tested IXGEN and it worked fine too. I also have MIF2GO but did not test it on FM8. I'll bet Jeremy did though. Hope this helps.

The concern goes beyond plugins - my workflow goes from FM7.2 to ePublisher Pro, but ePub is not FM8-ready and probably won't be in time for my big October release. According to Adobe Support, FM8 docs can't be saved as FM7.2 docs, either. That would mean that I cannot upgrade to FM8 until I know e

You can open FM7 files/books in FM8 without problem, and you can save FM8 files/books to FM7 .. so in theory you should be fine. I think that the only place you'll run into trouble with the FM8 -> FM7 save is if you're making use of FM8 features. If your files started off as FM7 files, I'd thin
