Pagemaker to FrameMaker conversion

[Carol J. Elkins]

Currently, one of my clients uses a translation vendor (English to Spanish) 
who authors in PageMaker. They've asked me what it would entail to convert 
the PageMaker book to FrameMaker and change to a translation vendor who can 
work in Framemaker.

The book in question is 550 pages and is updated twice a year. I have never 
been involved in any localization project, so I'm pretty naive in this 
area. I have two main questions for Frame folks:

1. Has anyone successfully converted from PageMaker to FrameMaker and, if 
so, what were the gotchas?
2. Can anyone recommend a translation vendor who could manage this conversion?

Thanks, as always, for your help.
