Converting newer Framemaker files to an older version?

Hi,
I am currently stuck on Framemaker 7.2 but have old Frame files from V8 that I would like to open with Frame 7.2. A lot of these files have formatting, tags, and techniques that I would like to be able to reference as needed for my current project.
Word has its Office Compatibility Pack that lets people with old versions of Word open a new version. Is there anything similar for Framemaker? Even if I could convert the newer Frame file to MIF, then I could open that in my V7.2.
I did search this forum for but could not find anything speciric to my problem.
Yours,
Michael F

Michael,
You will need to convert these files for older format using FrameMaker8. Ther are two routes through which you can accomplish the same:
1. Open the files in FrameMaker8 and save them as "Document 7.0" files. There is option in FrameMaker8 to save FM8 files in FM7 format.
2. Open the files in FrameMaker8 and save them as "MIF 7.0" format. You can open these MIF files in FM 7.2 and earlier versions.
Regards,
Rajat Bansal

Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

Can you transfer picture files from an older version of aperture to aperture 3?

Well, you didn't give any information on your Mac, your OS version, transfer pics from where to where, or anything else, so guessing is the best anyone can do at this point: you should be able to simply using drag and drop.

How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

How can I convert an M4A file to an MP3 version?

Thanks for your reply but that's not my problem.
I know that I can burn an M4A file to a CD and then import it back as an MP3, but that's an annoying process and wastes blank CDs. I thought iTunes had a menu choice to convert a selected file to MP3 format. I guess that's not true with M4A versions.
I will simply buy my music from Amazon from now on and I won't have to deal with this file format and protection nonsense. I can download music from Amazon in MP3 format as the rest of my music is in.

Want to be able to open tabs in multiple rows, rather than in a single row. I used tab mix plus before, but it says it is not compatible with New tab Homepage. The older version of Firefox allowed this very easily.

Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages

Does upgrading to new pages on iPad remove older version of pages. In other words, after upgrading will I be able to open older Pages documents on the iPad?

I took a while to figure this out after I got into the same mess. The new iWorks is a very bad downgrade. I have deleted Pages 5 from my Mac and gone back to Pages 4.3 (it is still there and was not removed when you updated to Pages 5.)
I then deleted Pages 2 from my iPad and from iTunes.
I used TIme Machine to go back to ~/Music/iTunes/Mobile Applications in September and found "Pages 1.7.2.ipa" and brought it forward to my desktop. I then droped it into the iTunes icon in the Dock and it reinstalled.
Hope this works for you.
Apple can now take as long as they need to correct all the mistakes they made with the current version of iWorks - I will not be upgrading again until they do.
Apple - Are you listening?

Trying to open a file from an older version to a new version of indesign

I'm on am mac and i am trying to open a file from the 2014 indesign with 2015 software, i am getting this error:
what i don't understand is why a newer version can't read the file of an older version

That is exactly the opposition of what you are trying to tell us.
Correct is:
You have Adobe CS6, version 8.x.
You get a file from someone else, who has Adobe CC 2014, version 10.x.
You are trying to open that file on your computer.
But because that file was created in a later version, you get this message.
Either ask to get an IDML file (with a PDF), tell them, they should go to File > Package… and check IDML and PDF export.
Better would be, if you also subscribe to the Creative Cloud to be up to date with the latest version.
But what you should do anyway, update your InDesign CS6, as there are updates available which will correct this error message, as from CS7 upwards no CS exists anymore.

New Adobe Reader will not older version files

Is that true : Adobe is likely to come out with a new version of Adobe reader that will not read Acrobat files which are created in older versions like 6 or 7

It is true that newer Reader versions are more sensitive to old (or new) documents that contain errors. But for correct documents, all new Reader versions are fully backwards compatible.

How do I use a newer iTunes library on an older version of iTunes?

I have an iTunes Library on my MacBook Pro running iTunes 11.1..5. I want to copy the library to my older G5 PowerPC with an older version of iTunes which has recently had a new drive installed (because of the old drive failing) and new Leopard System (the limit for the G5).
It seems I cannot just copy it to the G5 because I get a message like "cannot open iTunes Library because it is a newer version" or somethihng like that. It suggests updating iTunes but iTunes is upgraded to the max on the G5..
How can I convert my iTunes Library to run on the older version of iTunes? There are several suggestions available online, but none of them seem to fix the problem.
Anyone know how to fix this? My iTunes Library is extensive and I cannot even entertain the thought of reloading all that music and video!

In the iTunes folder on the G5...
Delete the file iTunes library.itl.
Move the iTunes library.xml (or iTunes Music library.xml) to the desktop.
Start iTunes.
iTunes menu File > Library > Import playlist and select the iTunes library.xml you moved to the desktop.
You can then delete the file on the desktop.

How do I convert a FrameMaker file containing both Portrait and Landscape pages into PDF?

I have recently converted to FrameMaker 9 and Acrobat 9. In the FrameMaker manual I am creating, most of the pages have Portait orientation, but some have Landscape orientation. However, when I convert the manual to PDF using Acrobat Distiller, the Landscape pages become Portrait. This wasn't a problem when I converted the manual into PDF in previous versions of Acrobat Distiller, it appeared after I installed Acrobat 9. In other words, the FrameMaker file has worked before. I have also tried this on three different computers to make sure the computer is not the problem. Does anybody have any ideas that I could try to make this work?

Jorunn, did you ever resolve this problem? If not, I've got a solution for you.
In FrameMaker, select the book you want to create a PDF of, click File > Print, and select Adobe PDF as your printer.
Click Properties and make sure you have the selections you want.
Back on the Print Setup dialog, leave the Paper and Orientation as both Letter and Portrait respectively.
On the Print Book dialog, select Print to File and browse to the correct location. Make certain to save this as a PostScript file (name.ps) and at the Safe Book As field, you want Single File selected.
Again on the Print Book dialog, click the checkbox for Generate Adobe Data and click PDF Setup. On the PDF Setup for Selected Files dialog, at the PDF Job Options, select Press Quality or make the appropriate choices for your situation for Settings, Bookmarks, Tags, and Links.
With Adobe Distiller open, File > Open and browse to the .ps file you indicated earlier. Also verify your Default Settings for the PDF are correct. When Distiller is finished, you can double-click the PDF file to open it and check that your portrait and landscape pages show correctly.

How do you save EPS file to an older version in Photoshop CS6?

Just upgraded to CS6 (I know...its a year old!). Every logo I try to open in AI states the logo was created in a newer version of AI and it won't allow me to open it. That is not true as the graphic designer sending them to me created them in CS6. I open them in Photoshop, but I can't figure out how to save them in an older version which is needed for one of my clients. Help!

Just confirming... You have a perpetual license (not a cloud subscription), right?
Even if it was just installed, Adobe always makes a practice of delivering their .0.0 version initially and requiring you to update it.
Choose Help - System Info in the Photoshop menus to get the exact Photoshop version number that's installed.
Choose Help - Updates and follow the instructions to update to the latest, which I believe 13.0.1.3.

Is it possible to save an Illustrator file as an older version?

I am running the latest version of Illustrator. My client has an older version of Illustrator. Is it possible to save it in an older format so it can be opened by my client?
Thanks

Yes, you can choose the version of the file you are saving in the Illustrator Options window (second save dialog) at the top. But be advised that if you used any version specific options, they may not work the same in an earlier version (Drop Shadows [Gaussian Blur] items being the most obvious).

App.open options when opening a newer version photoshop file by an older version of photoshop, App.open options when opening a newer version photoshop file by an older version of photoshop

So, where I work, we have a script that handles all of our heavy lifting. This script is running on CS6, and all of the users are running CC 2014. Now when the CS6 machine opens a document with any type of vector object from CC 2014 it throws a dialog box asking if I want to flatten, cancel, or Keep layers. I do have DISPLAYDIALOGS.NO set at the top of this script.
I under stand scripting quite well, but I'm just not sure if there are app.open options to tell this to keep layers. Also, I'm pretty sure a try catch block will not work, becuase this dialog appears before the image is actually pixels on the screen.
When the script generates our web images I've tried to flatten the document right after its opened and I still see this dialog. Any help would be super appreciated.
Thank you!

app.open will encounter problems that you really have no control over so you get an annoying dialog that you can't do anything with. The one that caused me the most grief is when a script tries to open a corrupt jpg image. IMNSHO, app.open should throw an Exception if it can't open the file and DisplayDialogs.NO is set. That way you can log the filename and deal with it later.
Bottom line is that there is nothing you can do in JS. One thing I have done in the past was use a utility like AutoKey on Windows that looks for these dialogs and automatically responds to them so you can continue processing. I'm fairly certain there is something similar available for OS X.
