Has anyone used this software? Someone sent me the link and I have tried the demo. I have Interleaf (QuickSilver) files that I want to convert to FM files. I continue to get errors and have yet to make a file at all. Yes, I have made it an asci file, I have saved as version 5, 6, and, 7.

Right now I am saving my files out as interleaf 5 and opening them in FM, but there is quite a bit of clean up and of course I have to get every graphic out by opening a pdf in illustrator or photoshop, cleaning up the graphic and saving them as the appropriate file. Was hoping Filtrix might be a miracle tool...lol!!!

Anyone know of this software or a better way of converting from Interleaf to FM?

While the original post is quite old, still today sometimes customers come up with the question of how to convert legacy Interleaf/QuickSilver content to FrameMaker or DITA. If you are in need of that, please contact me directly.

Hello Stefan,

I have FrameMaker5. I want to open Interleaf documents from that same time frame as when FrameMaker 5 was the latest release. I do not know what version of Interleaf I used to create my documents. Is there a way for me to import my Interleaf documents into FrameMaker 5? I am desperate to recover these Intermeaf documents.

Thank you very much for any assistance you could provide.

Best regards,

Ken

I've used Filtrix stuff in the distant past and wasn't impressed.

If I had to go from Interleaf, I'd try (assuming you still have Interleaf) outputting to PDF and saving the PDF to RTF, then open that in Frame.

You may be able to spin out the graphics if you open the PDF in Word and then SaveAs HTML -- that'll spit out the graphics separately.

Another possiblity would be if you have or can find older FM software -- I'm almost positive (Arnis? Shelia?) that FM versions around 5.x and 6.x had a direct Interleaf import filter.

Also, Rick Quatro has a series of scripts for graphics manipulation that work great. I used them to convert embedded graphics to referenced graphics in anchored frames. May be handy for clean up...

Well, I finally got a file converted. Don't know what I was doing wrong. Anyway....it is not a file to work

with! Awful!!!

I have been opening my interleaf files in FM, it is just alot of clean up, but the tables come over great!! I get rid of the pics and junk before I bring it over to framemaker. Only real problem is all the marker (or whatever they are called) are brought over and I have tried to delete them in the find and change and they don't delete. I manual have to delete them out of each step and then of course change it to the correct para tag. I will try the pdf to rtf, but it seems I had the same problem opening word files like that.

Thanks, will let you know....
