Saving FM15 as MIF 6.0 - Impossible?

Hello fellows,

I am trying to save an FM15 file as MIF6.0 using a script but the output MIF file contains some gibberish.

It seems that in FrameScript, the following doesn't work:

Save Document DocObject(myDocVar) File(myOutFileName) FileType(SaveFmtInterchange60);

Please, advise!

Thanks,

Roman

Hi Roman,

There is no such parameter as SaveFmtInterchange60. Use SaveFmtInterchange70 instead and your MIF file will be compatible with FrameMaker 6.

Hi Rick,

Thank you for your response!

SaveFmtInterchange70 creates MIF 7.0. Are there any differences between MIF6.0 and MIF 7.0?

I guess Framemaker 6 was only able to create MIF6.0, right?

Thanks,

Roman

Yes, each FrameMaker version creates its own "version" of MIF. The only reason that there is still a MIF 7.0 option is that FrameMaker 7 is the last version before FrameMaker went to a Unicode character set instead of FrameRoman. So any version below 8 will handle MIF 7.0 correctly.
