No, not really. Just that the software designers have not thought much
past their immediate brief.

Except Jon needs to go the other direction, and they don't have a
converter for that.

I have vague memories of seeing a converter mentioned somewhere.
Also, is there no easier route via XML?

It displays the conversion and then you save it, and you're charged only upon
save. So if a conversion goes badly, you're not out anything. It would be
worth a try.
There's a FrameMaker MIF InDesign converter.

There is no direct conversion of ID to Frame. (There is a Frame to ID
conversion, however.)
If you get all the ID documents at once, do a trail subscription to the
Cloud (if your security allows) and use ID CC for 30 days. You can subscribe
month-to-month for $30 or for a year at $20/month if you

Converting ID for use in Fm is more about strategy than menu options, so you're correct in thinking there's no effective way to directly open or import ID files to Fm.Handling of graphics and connected/disconnected text flows are among the obvious problems.

those in FM but there's still going to be lots of hand work.
Probably better will be to output the finished docs from ID to high quality
PDF and save those to RTF then bring those into FM. That should include
