Convert Framemaker (Mac OSX) Book to Indesign or Word

$250-750 USD

$250-750 USD

In 1998 I wrote a 220 page book using Framemaker on the Mac, which is no longer supported. I have 53MB of .fm (NOT .mif) files and image files. I would like to have the entire book converted to file formats that CAN be used on a Macintosh, say InDesign or MS Word. Ideally I would want the converted files to be 'turnkey', by which I mean that the files in the new format could be edited and printed exactly as they were in frame maker. I understand that may not be possible, in particular the cross references may not be convertible, but as close to 'turnkey' as possible would be nice. I need this because I want to write a second edition of this textbook, and I obviously can no longer do it with Framemaker on macintosh, sigh.

I know both FrameMaker and Indesign and have expertise in these application to format documents. I qualify to deserve this job. I'll keep the cross reference as well in Indesign. Let's discuss further if you want any more information. Thanks

I specialize in historical non-fiction book.

I provide complete text editing services based on the standards of the Chicago Manual of Style. Typesetting and design are done using Adobe InDesign CS5.5 and Photoshop CS5.5 (can also work in CS2 and CS3,cs4). Please see attached sample file for your reference.

Hello, I am a professional DTP Specialist with complete knowledge in InDesign and Framemaker. I can provide you with an 100% accurate conversion of your files. Toc will be active for sure. About the Index - it is possible to be live as well but I need to see how it is organized in order to predict how much time it will take for the markers to be recreated and how it will affect my quote. I look forward hearing from you. Best Regards, Milen Marinkov

Hi, I am working since last 12 years in publishing industry and I have all the skills which required completing this project. I have handled many more projects like this in my tenure. If you have any new design in your mind that will be great as I am able to give you out put on that design as well while converting. It will also help you to reduce the cost of recreating the book. Hope you are liking this idea.
