Round trip equations and anchored frames

Know how to round trip equations and anchored frames in XML with Adobe FrameMaker.

You can roundtrip equations and anchored frames between Structured FrameMaker and XML. When you save a Structured FrameMaker document to XML, FrameMaker creates MIF files for the equations and anchored frames in the document. FrameMaker saves every anchored frame and equation in a different MIF file.

Note: To test this feature, you can use the ReportPlain XML application in the samplesStructapps.fm file at: <Fm_install_location>\Structure. This XML application has Equation and Frame elements.

You can change the type of files that are created for storing equations and anchored frames by specifying the following flag in the maker.ini file.

To specify the default vector format for XML, add the flag DefaultvectorformatforXMLexport to the maker.ini in the Windows user profile (%appdata%\Adobe\FrameMaker\xx).

For example, the following sets default vector format for XML to CGM.

DefaultvectorformatforXMLexport=CGM
