Compatibility between versions of Adobe FrameMaker

[Guest]

Our client works on Adobe FrameMaker 9, we would like to work on FrameMaker 12. Is it possible? Are the programs compatible?

[Art_Campbell1 · Accepted solution]

No, the programs are not compatible because they have different feature

sets. The files produced by the programs, however, can be made to be

compatible.

However, each can save a file to an intermediate file format (Maker

Interchange Format) which the other can open; once open, the .MIF file can

be modified and resaved.

In this case, your common file format would be MIF vor FM 9 (or a previous

version). Note that any file content added by FM 12 that is NOT recognized

by FM 9 is ignored.

So it's clunky, but workable.
