Hi Darzza
I have no experience on In Design and PageMaker is back in the box in my drawer so can't really help with them.
Framemaker for me produces 35MB PDF files over 200 pages solidly and stable. What I like is the fact that our manuals are split into about 15 .fm files. A .book file with...
Hi Darzza
Framemaker will handle your manuals, PDF and languages no problem.
1. Allow two months to learn Framemaker, set up your templates and put a working procedure/ system in place.
2. We are moving from Freelance Graphics, Word and PDF and the conversion is plain hard work and takes...

Hi bswb

For figures use "F:Figure <$chapnum>-<n+>:".
For another autonumbering group use say P:Photo <n+1>.
I have to update my advice on DXF DWG since framemaker for some reason don't want to import autocad files anymore.
In Autocad I export the view to .wmf format.
Framemaker import even big drawings in .wmf easily. Fast as well.
Printing to pdf presents no problems.

In reply to helfen's 2nd question on importing graphics.
Draw a rectangle in a frame to the size you want your picture to be. Use the Width Height ratio of 4x3 (800x600) to make it easier. Place it in the Reference page for re-use or use the Auto-text utility.
When you import your images...
In both DXF and DWG it don't work if any text is in a vertical position. Text must be horizontal. Otherwise no go.
Rotate any text that's upright to a horizontal position.
It is also recomended to change to a web font, ie Helvitica or Verdana.
Then it is no problem editing Acad Frames from...

Another incoming VPN connection is needed on WIN2K PRO with fixed IP to access a NT network.
Are there any possible settings or tweaks to allow two incoming connections?
Much appreciated.
