Re: Convert from FrameMaker to InDesign
I’ve done A LOT of this, and in my experience there is no easy way to do it — although I was working with VERY complex files. The DTP Tools product didn’t work for me, but again — the complexity of the files may have been too much for their product. Didn’t try MIF2Go, so can’t comment on that. Had my best luck doing a lot of preprocessing on the FM file so that conditional text, etc, could be identified later on, then exported as RTF, then did a bunch of post processing in InDesign. Not hard, just time consuming. Let me know if you’d like more info. Best wishes, -dr ___ You are currently subscribed to framers as arch...@mail-archive.com.

Re: Convert from FrameMaker to InDesign
Hi Elchanan, easy way: No, only possible (but only if certain conditions are met). Please read more in the Adobe forums, eg. this quite recent posting: -- http://forums.adobe.com/message/5497914 I am using Mif filter which is quite accurate but needs some preparation of the FM material and some reworking after conversion.

I believe Rick Quatro might have scripts to do this?
