Hi,
I'm trying to import Pagemaker files with several languages layers. As written into the help files "FrameMaker treats all layers in an imported document as one layer". Is there any solution to automate this ? My aim is to import every pagemaker layer into one Framemaker file, so I can register and treat them into languages directories.
Using latest Pagemaker 7 and Framemaker 8 on Windows XP (French version)
Thanks
Alain

So your plan is to fragment the single PM file to produce a small herd of FM files?

But if Frame creates one file with each layer separated, I would just delete what I didn't want from each iteration and save it out. I'm not sure there's a way to automate it unless there are different tags for each language, so you can tell where each starts and stops. If so, you could probably write a FrameScript to recognize the begin and end points.

But I'd be tempted to try keeping it all in a single file and assign each language / PM layer to a different conditional text tag.
