[Framers] Opening FM 2019 documents in FM 2017

[Harding, Dan]

MIF might work as an intermediary format, but otherwise you need to backsave FM2019 documents as FM2017 format documents in order to open them in FM2017.

Old applications can't know what differences there are in file formats for future/forthcoming versions. Application formats like PDF and MS Word/Excel make sure to retain backwards compatibility at default settings, but it appears that Frame does not.

Subject: [Framers] Opening FM 2019 documents in FM 2017

Is it possible to do this?  I just had some 2017 documents translated for
me and when I open them in my FM 2017 it says:

Although XXX appears to be a FrameMaker document, it can't be opened with
tihs release of the product.

Is there an add-on or something?

Doug
