Is there a way to export data from Framemaker 7.0 to InDesign CS3 for the MAC

I am asking this question for our Advertising department so I am not too close to the situation. Another company that is part of oujr platform designed their catalogs in Framermaker 7.0. We have Framemaker 6.0. The only reason we have it is to work with this other version of Framemaker 7.0. Our advertising people use InDesign CS3 for the Mac. Right now Advertising gives the person with Framermaker 7.0 changes to be made to their catalog. He exports the file as an IMF file and she pulls it into Framermaker 6.0.
We tried to upgrade from Framemaker 6.0 to 9.0, but that wasn't possible.
Ideally we would like to take a 600 page catalog created with Framemaker and convert it to InDesign.
We would also like to take the files created with Framemaker 7.0 and import them into InDesign.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance.

You can convert FrameMaker MIF (interchange) files to InDesign with the dtptools.com MIF Filter plug-in for InDesign. The plug-in is free, because you have to pay for the pages you convert. The bigger bundle of pages you buy, the lower cost per page.
dtptools.com also has a really free plug-in for FrameMaker that converts .fm files to .mif, whole directories at a time.
The converted InDesign files usually look very close to the original FM files, but it's possible to create things in FM that fools the converter, so you'll need to look the conversions over carefully.
I reviewed MIF Filter in some detail in InDesign Magazine in a late 2007 issue.
You should be aware that InDesign CS3 is no longer sold, so you can't buy more copies for all your users to be working in the same release. While it's possible to exchange files between ID CS3 and CS4 there are some things that don't convert perfectly, so you'll still have to inspect closely. I believe the most-common issue is text reflow.
It's not clear if you intend never to go back to using FrameMaker for any of the catalog work, except perhaps for creating original text.
Without seeing an example of the catalog pages, it's impossible to recommend any useful strategies. You can post a screen shot to this forum by clicking the camera icon in the button bar above the reply entry area. Inserting with the camera puts the picture on the forum very quickly, vs. attaching the picture as a file (it takes hours or days.)
There may be other strategies for creating your catalog.

Is there any way to export data from a calendar 5 instance to 6.3?

I've run into yet another issue with my migration from calendar 5 to 6.3.
It turns out that one of our satellite clinics has a very large amount of data stored on our older server. Right now we're having to put the migration on hold because there are several hundred events on the old server that are repeat events and/or events scheduled relatively far in the future. This issue, along with the possibility of double booking events/appointments while both servers are active, is a serious risk that could have detrimental effects on this site.
There are a few issues that I'm not certain how to handle in this case. First of all, the old server's database is stored in schema 1, and changes in the LDAP directory structure from cal 5 vs. 6.3 made it impossible to migrate the old database and accounts. The new server is schema 2. So migrating the whole directory, especially at this point, seems rather unlikely.
Is there any way that I can export data for specific accounts and calendars for the people at this site in a version-independent format and import it to the new server? If nothing else we can schedule somebody to come in on one of the weekends and manually copy the data, but if possible I'd like to avoid devoting somebody to that for the several hours that it would take to copy that by hand. Also, this would not be the preferred method due to the fact that human error could result in our clients being misscheduled, which would obviously be bad for business.
I'd appreciate any ideas anybody may have on this matter.
Thanks in advance.

Actually I guess I was missing the obvious method of simply exporting to xml and importing on the new calendar. For some reason I thought that the exports were incompatible between versions as well.Hmm... whilst this may have worked on the face-of-it I do wonder whether everything has indeed been moved across and more importantly translated into the correct form e.g. access controls, uids => uids@domain format.
Is there anybody that can answer definitively whether or not any data will be lost by this procedure?There are simply too many variables involved in your proposed migration to provide any kind of 100% iron-clad guarantees. I would suggest you perform a thorough test migration of the data and then compare the ics/xml export from the ics5/6 systems to see if any of the data has changed. Also test to see whether access controls are still working (can a user who could previously edit another persons calendar on ics5 now do so with ics6).
Things to look out for are that meeting attendee information is kept, any 'fancy' characters (i.e. 8-bit characters) and formatting information is kept, the number of tasks/meetings is consistent between the two versions and so forth.

Is there a way to import data from excel -when one of the columns in excel is hyperlink column?

Is there a way to import data from excel - so if a column is hyperlink - the whole data will move to the list (text + link of the hyperlink column)?

Hi,
According to your description, you want to export excel which contains a hyperlink column to SharePoint list.
Refer to the following steps:
Open the Excel, insert/create the table.
Now click on any cell of table and go to the ‘Design Tools’.
Click on the Export and then ‘Export table to SharePoint List’.
You will see a popup where you need to provide the URL of SharePoint site, list name and description.
Then click on next, On the next screen you will see columns with data types which are going to create in SharePoint list.
Now click finish and wait until the operation gets finished. You will see that list gets created in SharePoint site with the records.
Here are two links, you can use as a reference:

What could be the best way to Export data from 11.5.8 instance to 12.1.2?

Hi All
What could be the best way to Export data from 11.5.8 instance to 12.1.2?
Release: 11.5.8
OS: Oracle Solaris on SPARC (32-bit) verison 9
DB: 9.2.0.1
Thanks in advance

What kind of data you are looking to move?
Database export/import is only supported for full database export/import and the application release should be the same on the source/target nodes.
You can move the setup using iSetup or FNDLOAD.
Thanks,

Is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

All the data can be extracted by creating a property node and read the Item Names property...then you get a 2D array of all the rows and columns. Wire that array into an index array function and input the row you want (e.g. the listbox value, if you want the row currently selected...)...that's it. See attached example.

Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition?

Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition? <eom>

You could try using 'metarecover'. I don't know if that works after a metaclear, but it's the only think that I could think to try.
I think you could brute-force search for UFS filesystems within the underlying storage, but that's pretty tedious.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

Is there a way to allocate data from one month to other month

Hi all,
I am trying to find out a way to copy data from days of a month to days of other month using a calculation script.
Is there really a way using essbase functions?
Like I have days for each month as shown below.

2011-01-02
and so on
2011-01-31
and Next Month

2011-02-02
and so on
2011-02-28.
What I am trying to do is copy the related dates data from Jan 2011 to Feb 2011 (datacopy from 2011-01-01 to 2011-02-01 and so on for other dates too.)
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

It would be through scripting. If no one else answers here, try using the InDesign Scripting forum:

Is there a way to restore data from a previous back up?

I just updated my iPhone to IOs7 and unfortunately the contacts and photos where not backed up. Is there a way to restore them from a previous back up? Like one month ago?

Yes you can. Usualy iTunes saves last 3 or 4 backups.
Connect your iphone with iTunes and then you can check them after you click "restore from back up" option.

Is there a way to Export text from Pages 09 to Keynote 09 Slides?

I wanted to make an outline for a presentation in Pages 09 and then export it to Keynote 09 as slide text. But did not want to have to copy it piece by piece. I know you can do this with Word, but I would rather do stuff like this in Pages and Keynote.
Thanks!

There isn't any export feature from Pages to Keynote. Have you tried Copy and Paste?

Is there a way to import data from a specific text field in a PDF form directly into a text field in a different PDF?

I know you can import form data from an .fdf file. Is there a way to import a specific value from that .fdf file into a text field in a separate pdf form?

So I want the FDF to export every time the user saves or closes the PDF. Then I want the import to happen every time the user opens the PDF. That being said, this all has to work with Adobe Reader. If this is possible in anyway, I'd manage this would require some time of script. Any thoughts?
