Hi Mary, FrameMaker can do this, and in fact, it is one of FrameMaker's great strengths in the structured content arena. Despite what it lacks in other XML features, it can do a bangup PDF from XML or SGML like no other tool, I think. Note, however, that you need to build the translation mechanism (the "structured application") to get the XML imported and properly formatted. For a short document, an expert might be able to pull this off in a few days, but if you've never done it before, the learning curve can last into the weeks or months.

To: FrameUsers <framers@lists.frameusers.com> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Hello Framers, Does anyone know if I can create a PDF from an XML file using FrameMaker? It's a relatively short document, but I haven't done this before so I'm not sure how to proceed--if, in fact, it can be done. TIA, Mary Holder The Roving TechWriter _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
