Hi Richard,

I do not know, if I understand you correctly.

Do you want to know how you can save a file from FrameMaker 2017 as a file for FrameMaker 2015?

In FrameMaker 2017 you have the option to save back as FrameMaker 2015 file. Just check the file formats in the Save As dialog.

You can also save as MIF (not MIF for 7.0!). MIF files from higher versions can be interpreted correctly in older FrameMaker versions. Elements and attributes which did not exist in the older version will be ignored.

Best regards

Winfried

Hi Winfried,

Excuse me,  I asked you an incomplete question. The problem is that I

saved structured documents made in the 2017 version as 2015  and the

client informed me that the 2015 version saved does not run on his

Framemaker 2015. Is there any reason for this to have happened?

Thank's again Winfried,

I saw it it opening a FM 2015 (MakerFile 13.0) document in Word. The

documents i saved in FM 2017 to FM 2015 appear as MakerFile 14,0, that

means, the save as FM 2015 command on FM 2017 does not work.

But as I said earlier, I installed the FM 2015 (try option) and the docs

saved in 2017 opened perfectly. So I saved them again and they worked on

the client. Now I'll definitely buy it to have it also on my computer.

Let it be a warning to anyone who has the FM 2017.

Best regards

Before you invest in a copy of FM 2015, there are a couple more things to try.

First, though, please confirm whether my understanding of the problem is correct. I think that you are creating documents in FM 2017, saving them as FM 2015 documents, and then sending them to a customer who is using FM 2015. While you can open them in your trial copy of FM 2015, the customer cannot open them. Furthermore, when you open the FM 2015 of a document and save the result and save this second FM 2015 version to the customer, the customer can open it.

Rather than concluding that FM 2017 cannot save FM 2015 documents, if my summary is accurate, it seems that the file produced by FM 2017 is indeed an FM 2015 document, but it is different in some internal way than the file produced by FM 2015. The fact that you and your customer have inconsistent results in trying to open the version produced by FM 2017 suggests that you are running different patches of FM 2015. I believe the latest one is 13.0.5.547. You and your customer should both use the Help > About FrameMaker command to make sure the version numbers match. If not, use Help > Updates, to update.

Something else you can try is, instead of saving the FM 2017 document as an FM 2015 document, save it as MIF 2017. MIF (Maker Interchange Format) is a text file that contains everything in a binary FM document. FM 2015 can read an FM 2017 MIF file, it just won't be able to process anything in the FM 2017 file that is not available in FM 2015.

Good luck and let us know if either of these suggestions solve the problem.
