Subject:FrameMaker 7.2 to 8 upgrade questions From:"Meryl R. Cohen" <merylster -at- gmail -dot- com> To:techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com Date:Thu, 13 Mar 2008 12:09:36 -0400
My company currently uses FM 7.2 in unstructured mode. We produce PDFs and
also use Mif2Go in our doc to create XHTML and Eclipse Help. We also use a
product called dzbatch in our build scripts to do some template imports,
etc. We are considering moving to FM 8.0 given that we are adding FM copies
anyway.
I'm interested in what people think about FM 8 in general in comparison to
FM 7.2.
Also, if there are any gotchas to beware of.
Finally, If there are any problems people have encountered when using FM 8
with the other tools we use, that would be very important to know.
