[Framers] saveAs Mif Re: Framemaker 2017 save backwards

[Craig Ede]

Just do a SaveAs Mif. Don't use SaveAs Mif7. SaveAs Mif will save to the current version being used. Opening in your older version will just discard the code that is not interpretable by that version. If you are editing in both version your template is not using new features anyway.


You can also use extendscript to saveAs a particular version back to FM9. Rick Quatro could help you with that; it's pretty simple stuff.

Thanks, Bernard. I wanted to be sure before I document Save as MIF. Hopefully, it won't be long before we are all using the same version.

You can save as MIF 7.0 (*.mif) but some functions or content may change on the way out. Best to do a test run. However, you can open with FM12 once you do this. Your mileage may vary though depending on what you have in the files.

Hi -

We have a new employee and her FrameMaker license is for 2017. The rest of us are on FM 12 but will be upgrading, although I don't know when.

I looked at the 2017 user guide and it says you can save as 2015. It doesn't mention 2012. I just want to verify this with the group before I write up instructions for our new user.

Thanks.
