We're still using FM 7 (obviously) and one of our vendors is planning on upgrading to CS6. Will they need to back save to a previous version? I vaguely recall hearing about art import issues, but maybe that was with earlier versions of FM. Thanks!<br>> <br>> Just to add to what the others have posted, I circumvent .ai and save from Illustrator as editable PDF and it gives me no problems. It's in fact an advantage, as diagrams can be viewed in Reader. But yes, FrameMaker 7 can import .ai files - at least those from CS2, which is what I have here. Or at least he Mac version can: I don't know about Windows FrameMaker. I have v 10, but as yet no machine to run it on.<br>> <br>> -- <br>> Steve<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> <br>> <br>> You are currently subscribed to framers as <a href="mailto:craigede@hotmail.com">craigede@hotmail.com</a>.<br>> <br>> Send list messages to <a href="mailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com">framers@lists.frameusers.com</a>.<br>> <br>> To unsubscribe send a blank email to<br>> <a href="mailto:framers-unsubscribe@lists.frameusers.com">framers-unsubscribe@lists.frameusers.com</a><br>> or visit <a href="http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/craigede%40hotmail.com">http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/craigede%40hotmail.com</a><br>> <br>> Send administrative questions to <a href="mailto:listadmin@frameusers.com">listadmin@frameusers.com</a>.
