WebWorks Publisher Import Utility anybody?

Does anybody on this list have experience working with the WebWorks Publisher Import Utility? I am working on a project where I must convert a batch of HTML files to FrameMaker, but the ordered lists do not always behave as expected. If anybody out there could give me some pointers, I'd be ever so

Converting to Frame from HTML

Hello fellow Framers, A couple months ago, I believe, I submitted a question about the WebWorks Import Utility that takes HTML files and converts them to Frame (MIF) format. We have been using that tool fairly successfully, but we have found that it has several fairly serious shortcomings.

You don't even need to Print to file if you use an Adobe printer driver when printing to PDF. In versions 7.x, the printer driver is Adobe PDF. (I forget just now which one it is in version 6.x--Acrobat Distiller, maybe?) When you do it this way (making sure to *clear* the Print to file check

Just a word of caution about the WebWorks Import Utility: While I agree that it is generally a very nice tool, it does not handle tables well at all. So, if you have tables, pay special attention to how they get imported into Frame. However, Rick Quatro (on this list) has an excellent Table

Scroll wheel update

Hi fellow Framers, I just wanted to send you all a quick update (if anybody cares) on my scroll wheel problem, just on the off-chance that someone else is still struggling with this and resigned (as I was) to just living with it not working in Frame. Don't give up! There is hope! Thanks, first,

links in Frame converting to PDF

Hi all, One other thing I have discovered (the hard way): If you want links to work, you must select the 'Generate Acrobat Data' check box in the 'Print Book' dialog box before you print. I also wonder with Surbhi whether you just have a few bad links or are none of them working? HTH, Chuck
