Framemaker and the web
I got a list of questions from a client about Framemaker and its ability to work with the web. I am not familiar with this but I thought I would ask the experts out here if any of this is possible: Good morning! We are looking at options to add the print catalog when it is ready to our existing website. A couple of technical questions came out of our meeting this morning that I didn’t know how to answer. 1) Is there a Framemaker page to Flash option? 2) Is there a way to embed a hyperlink on the Item Number so that we have active link from the Item Number to hook into our ordering system? 3) Do you know how Framemaker incorporates with Adobe Scene 7? Any help appreciated.

Re: Framemaker and the web
1) There are PDF to SWF converters utilities out there (Google PDF to SWF). Your workflow would entail FrameMaker PDF SWF. I would experiment, get the kinks worked out and then have Rick write me a script to automate it. 2) Maybe. You could for instance use a hypertext marker or PS code (better to use Shlomo's TimeSavers shortcuts in either event, imo) to link to a ColdFusion or some other dynamic page, as a trigger to launch and hook into the program. 3) Among other digital assets, Scene 7 can utilize PDF, postscript, and XML, all of which are common workflow output of FrameMaker.

Dear Scott, 1) Why Flash? PDF allows to link to any place and call programs etc. Active links in PDF are prepared in FrameMaker as Hypertext Markers. Save As PDF works well in nearly all cases - if not, Printing to Adobe Printer and then distilling the PS file does the job also. 2) A Hyperlink Marker can be placed in any paragraph at any location (e.g. in front of an item number). The item with the link should bear a character format to create an active area. 3) I have no idea what Scene 7 is at all.

Framemaker 8 and Web Works Pro compatibility
Hello, I am about to upgrade from Framemaker 6 to version 8 and notice that Webworks is no longer provided with Framemaker, I have several help projects built using Webworks Pro and want to know if I can still use this software with Frame Maker 8 or if I need to purchase a new online help software? If I have to purchase a new one, does anybody have any recommendations?

Re: Framemaker 8 and Web Works Pro compatibility
A number of other threads here and on Adobe's site have reported that you need the latest version of Webwork's software to be compatible with 8... ePublisher 9.2.something Another alternative is to export from FM through Omsys's MIF2Go program, which is what I've done for several years.
