[Framers] Compatability with FM11 non-structured files

[john.x.posada at us.hsbc.com]

Hi Peter...it's not the process for exporting/converting that's the issue. I got all that. I did it all the time to allow my user base to make their edits. 

The issue is installing and licensing the application. It WOULD be installed on a standalone...mine. It still needs to validate by connecting to Adobe, and that's a problem.

BTW...all Adobe products do that, so bring ID into the equation does nothing.

Looks like my earlier response got truncated. Apologies for any confusion.

Would it be acceptable to install FM on a stand-alone machine, save as MIF, and export/convert to formats of apps the corporate network supports, then copy these outputs to the network? Or, have that work done by a service?

If a non-subscription version of InDesign is used on the corporate network, a round-about approach could be to use the  DTP Tools - MIF Filter for Adobe InDesign <http://www.dtptools.com/product.asp?id=mfid> to convert MIF files InDesign. Within InDesign's own limits and abilities, the conversion retains most, FrameMaker text formatting features and specifications, and does its best to emulate page layouts.
