To generate a PDF you save the map to a book file (with FM chapter files), then save the book to a PDF. The formatting of the generated FM files is controlled by the structure application(s). Customizing the structure applications is far more complex than can be explained in an email, but that's where you'll need to look. Note that there is no difference between DITA authored in Oxygen or FM .. if it's valid DITA, it's just DITA. Some people think that DITA in FM isn't "pure DITA" .. it should be, and if it's not, it's not DITA.<br><br><note type="vendor-comment">DITA-FMx provides a much easier path to publishing and customizing than you'll get with default FM, and can be fully automated with additional tools.</note><br><br>2) It depends on what you're trying to do. Here's the official list, the mode of "connection" to FM and the effectiveness of these CMSes can be debated ..<br><br> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/cms-integration.html" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/cms-integration.html</a><br><br><note type="vendor-comment">DITA-FMx connects to the XDocs CMS, which is I believe the lowest-cost CMS on the list. We are in the process of working on a connector with easyDITA as well.</note><br><br>3) It depends on how consistently tagged your FM files are. If your FM files are a "mess" it's going to be really hard .. if your FM files are really clean, it's going to be just reasonably hard. The sample files and webinar on this page may be of some use ..<br><br> <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a href="http://leximation.com/downloads/adobe-fm2xml-2013/" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">http://leximation.com/downloads/adobe-fm2xml-2013/</a><br><br>Cheers,<br><br>...scott<br><br><br><o:p></o:p></div><pre style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';">Scott Prentice<o:p></o:p></pre><pre style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';">Leximation, Inc.<o:p></o:p></pre><pre style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';"><a href="http://www.leximation.com/" style="color: purple; text-decoration: underline;">www.leximation.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';">+1.415.485.1892<o:p></o:p></pre><pre style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';"><o:p> </o:p></pre><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">On 11/20/14 11:35 AM, Gillian Flato wrote:<o:p></o:p></div></div><blockquote style="margin-top: 5pt; margin-bottom: 5pt;"><pre style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';">Guys,<o:p></o:p></pre><pre style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';"><o:p> </o:p></pre><pre style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Courier New';">I am considering using Tech Comm Suite 5 for a project.
