Conversion for non-users

[rwexelblat]

I am a former Framemaker user who just came across a 15-year-old directory of 20 or so short .fm files. Is there any way to convert these to text, Word, or PDF (online or on a Mac) without having to buy a product. Loss of formatting is not an issue. I just want to "reclaim" the text.

You could download the free 30-day trial of FM 2020 and open them up. Oh, wait, you're on a Mac right? Zip them up and send me a DM & I can PDF them for you.

I've sent you a DM

Sent you a DM reply - offer still stands.

Load the trial Jeff mentioned via vmware Fusion or Parallels. Probably easier than recovering text from PDFs

Especially easier for Jeff! 😉
