Epic Arbortext to Adobe FrameMaker

[Matt Sullivan]

Hi Eduardo,

No plugin or procedure needed, but you need to set up any version of
structured FrameMaker to understand and interpret your (XML?) info coming
from ArborText or any other XML editor. (unless you want to edit in a
standard text editor like Notepad...)

In FrameMaker, you will want to create a structured application to point to
the DTD and other files needed to process the XML and format as desired,
since your DTD will not address formatting.

As with AT, setting up these details is not a simple 5-minute process; since
you probably won't be doing this with regularity, you may want to leverage
company resources who understand the process, or engage someone familiar
with it to speed up development time.

Good afternoon Fellow Framers

First, my setup:  WXP Pro 2002 SP2, FrameMaker 8 and 9 (I have both)...

My aircraft manufacturer composes material/documentation in Epic Arbortext.

I compose my material/documentation in Adobe FrameMaker.

Is there a plug in or procedure for converting Epic Arbortext documentation
to Adobe Framemaker.  The manufacturer provided me with a DTD and I've tried
creating an EDD, then opening the .SGM file using the newly formed EDD, but
to no avail.

...just looking for a solution somewhere out here.

All the best to all of you.

Eduardo
