Interleaf to PDF

[frameexpert]

I have a client that has a bunch of IDU files, which I understand are Interleaf documents. They are looking for someone that can convert them to PDF. Please contact me if you are interested in doing this and I will connect you with the client. Thank you.

As I recall, Interleaf became QuickSilver, which was Broadvision {.com} and is now apparently aurea {.com}. It claims “QuickSilver greatly extends the capabilities of traditional Interleaf technology (acquired by BroadVision in 2000) and is fully compatible with Interleaf 6 and 7.”

And that's more than I know about. The one time I had to convert an Interleaf document {back} to .fm, was over 30 years ago, and I don't recall any automated tools being available then.

From BroadVision's website:

Due to the acquisition of BroadVision, including its QuickSilver product, by Aurea software, the QuickSilver issues are now handled by Aurea. Please contact them at

• dealdesk@aurea.com if it is related to a new purchase.
• renewals@aurea.com if it is related to license renewal.
• call +1-833-379-2578 if you need further assistance.

Maybe they have a demo/trial version. (Don't tell them your true intentions... 😜)
I thought Interleaf/Quicksilver was structured but it's been a while since I looked at it. Perhaps the files can be converted that way?

There is also a bunch of fellows in Bulgaria claiming to be the true Interleaf inheritors:

Opticentre appears to be a DTP services enterprise, and not selling software.
They apparently have FM, ID and Interleaf {6!}.

IL6 might be all they need for the amount of work still being done with IL docs.
