Re: [Framers] Batch Word Conversion

[Jeff C]

Do not be surprised if you have to make multiple attempts to create a
stable conversion document mapping Word styles to FM elements. We ended up
at Version 34.

One technique I used was to change all text in the Word doc to green before
converting. Any text that didn't convert to something in FM stayed green
allowing me to focus on Styles that didn't get mapped properly.

This only really works if the Word docs are consistently Styled.

Jeff C - no longer working in FM, but ugh, Word instead

"As of FrameMaker 2015, FM can map Word styles to FrameMaker tags. They
don't even have to have the same names. It'll at least do the initial work."

[Framers] XML Export Graphics

[Jeff C]

Using FM 2017, unstructured, embedded PDF graphics.

What happens to the graphic files upon export to XML? Are they exported as
embedded format? Where?

We must export to XML per contract, but we haven't done it yet.

Re: [Framers] Word to Frame Again

[Jeff C]

I created a couple if macros to help create the conversion file setup.
Delete all unused Styles in Word. Then changed all text to green. Converted
text would change, unconverted text arrives in FM green. Easier to find
what didn't convert.

...
However, it was suggested to convert the files to doc format before import
to Frame.

Re: [Framers] Frame alone or Adobe too?

[Jeff C]

PDF to Word works, mostly.

I was surprised the conversion of a 57MB PDF file successfully converted to
Word.

Graphics get scrambled however, so give a warning.

I have a few SMEs who want a Word version to mark up. Ugh.
I get comments about how bad the graphics are all the time...

Major limitation, you can't save a whole book to RTF, only an individual
.fm file.

Re: [Framers] PDF Images are Pixelated when imported into FM11

[Jeff C]

We noticed this years ago, and our solution was to include two images in
the file, one for online viewing, and one for print.

We included a jpg (I think) for online FM viewing, and a PDF for print and
PDF production.

When the image embedded in the resulting pdf is zoomed, the resolution is
excellent, not so with at jpg.

Hi, guys...when I import PDFs into my FM 11 document, the image that I see
is often pixelated.
