<br>
Not a direct solution, but I've got a very beta plugin called
FM2Pages that generates an Apple Pages file from an FM file (for
FM8 on up). At this point it's barely more than a proof of
concept, and only exports the paragraph content and paragraph
style names. But the intent is that you can use this to get from
FM to Pages then import into iBooks Author or export from Pages to
EPUB.<br>

If you're interested in playing with this, contact me off-list.<br>

And if you use FrameMaker 9 (or even 10) for legacy Frame
documents under Parallels because you are a Mac shop? What better
options might we have?

Thanks,

All,
<br>
<br>
I have recently done this investigation on behalf of a client.
Of the methods
<br>
I explored (both published and home cooked), the approach
described below is
<br>
by far the easiest I have found. It also provides for sufficient
flexibility
<br>
and tweaking to provide for known device peculiarities, such as
documents
<br>
intended for off-site technicians, etc.
<br>
<br>
I am one who does not like long and complex processes in which
there are
<br>
potential fail points built in when a short and simple approach
is available.
<br>
<br>
Regards
<br>
Alan Litchfield

Hi James
<br>
<br>
I am the Product Manager of FrameMaker. There is currently a
easy way to
<br>
generate EPUB from your FrameMaker source, if you have
Technical Communication
<br>
Suite (TCS) (version 3 & above) OR FrameMaker Server
(version 10 & above). See
<br>
my recent blog post on this topic (along with some EPUB
samples that we
<br>
generated with this route)

You can download a trial of these products by visiting the
homepage at

It would be great if you can try it and let us know your
feedback.
