InDesign to FrameMaker 9.0 for Windows 7

[Alan Litchfield]

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

They are both end-of-production-process applications and the output from 
them is considered to be what will be required for output purposes not 
for further post-processing by other programs that effectively do the 
same thing.

I have not weighed in because everyone has pretty much echoed my 
suggestions and thoughts about conversion and my choice would have been 
either RTF or PDF (extracting the content from a PDF). However, what 
would be required to get an IDML file into Frame? I have not looked at it.

Not really. MIF FIlter has been around since at least 2005 and it's
not an Adobe product.

Re: InDesign to FrameMaker 9.0 for Windows 7

[Robert Lauriston]

The "Cloud" in the name is misleading, it's downloaded and installed
like any other application and your data is wherever you usually store
it.

There's no security issue in the trial version. 30 days should be
enough time to convert all the docs or determine that you should buy
InDesign.

The only minor security concern for the subscription is that it
requires a credit card number, but you can eliminate potential
exposure for that by using a "virtual" credit card number that's
limited to the expected charges.

You can get some of the content by exporting ID into Word/RTF and opening 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 the 
graphics.

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 need more time.

Make sure the other company Packages the files to send all the linked
graphics; technically, they can send you the fonts too, but you may have
copyright issues involved.
Open the ID file, select all the text* and export as RTF. If you need to,
you can copy and paste tables into Excel. 

*A LOT depends on how well the InDesign document was created: were styles
used properly, was the file created with one long text flow (like Frame) or
a bunch of separate text boxes, etc.

I used DTP Tools' MIF Filter, an InDD plug-in, a few years ago to get a 20-page 
fm doc into InDesign, and it did pretty well. 

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.

InDesign to FrameMaker 9.0 for Windows 7

[Art Campbell]

You can get some of the content by exporting ID into Word/RTF and opening
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
the graphics.

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.

InDesign to FrameMaker 9.0 for Windows 7

[jon . harvey]

Hi All,

My team is about to get a pile of InDesign files from another company. To
edit the files, we need to either purchase InDesign ourselves or convert
the files to FrameMaker 9. I don't know (yet) what version of InDesign they
are using.

Question: How easy and clean is the conversion of InDesign files to FM 9.0?
