Question

Creating training material containing audio using FM8 (or 9 or 10)

Using FM 8 on Windows 7, I can embed a .wav file in the FM doc & the .wav plays as expected when double-clicked. But When I Save As or print from FM to PDF (using Acrbat Pro 9), the .wav file doesn’t exist in the PDF.

Is there some FM or Distiller setting I should be using to get the .wav file to work in the PDF? I notice that MicroType sells a “plugin” called TimeSavers Multimedia Assistant that says it enables such PDFing. Are there any other solutions? Upgrade to FM9? Or FM10? Simply inserting .wav files into the FM-generated PDF using Acrobat Pro ("Attach file as a Comment" command) is not feasible.

Or are there other output formats besides PDF I should be considering (e.g. webinar software)?

    You might find more recommendations for other output formats for webinar use on this FrameMaker Integration forum section:

    or on the HATT list, http://www.techwr-l.com/techwr-l-list

    As a general comment, the TimeSavers tools are very, very reliable and the support is excellent. They are essential for getting functional output due to many <sigh> of FM's longstanding <bigger sigh> ... "quirks".
