Add the FrameMaker file types on the Documentum Server using the .dar file

To be able to work with the file types supported by Adobe FrameMaker, you must add the FrameMaker file types and formats on the Content server using a .dar file.

To add the Adobe FrameMaker types on the Content server, you need “Administrator” or “Create Type” privileges.

1. You would need the .dar file to add the FrameMaker types on the Server. Contact your administrator or Adobe Customer Support for help.

2. Run the .dar file installation utility shipped with FrameMaker. The default location of this utility is <Fm-install-location>\FmDctmSetup.exe.

   Note: You can also use the default darinstaller.exe utility shipped with EMC Documentum Composer.
