If you end up having to switch from (presumably unstructured) FrameMaker, I'd
suggest switching not to InDesign but to DITA to accomplish your goals. You can
leverage your group's existing FM knowledge by still using FM to create your
PDFs, but with DITA you are no longer locked into one company
It would appear that EPUB standard involves an XML standard, in which case you
could very well use FrameMaker in Structured mode.

Hi Richard,
If you look at the EPUB datasheet PDF, you will see that "EPUB is an
XML-based file format designed to reflow text according to screen size."
Since EPUB is XML-based, you should be able to produce output from
FrameMaker that can be converted to EPUB format. As far as tools, you can

Hi Richard,
There is this for a start:

I don't think FM can create them directly - they have to go through the Tech
Comm. Suite to RH8 to be created there (as far as I know). The newly demoed
FM10 may be able to though.

Hi Rich,
You can use FrameMaker as your source files. You'll need to go through
ePublisher Pro or MIF2GO to get the output you want. It's non-trivial
(read, "a huge PITA") to get everything working, but it can be done.
Here's some general information on ePub issues:
