[Framers] FrameMaker vs InDesign

[Peter Gold]

Converting publications from any application to another is always a
challenge. Search Google for "framemaker vs indesign" for opinions and
experiences and advice.

dtptools.com introduced its MIF filter for InDesign, a utility that
converts FrameMaker files saved as MIF (Maker Interchange Format) for
InDesign Magazine in 2007. Search Google for "dtptools mif filter."
