[cw-discuss] file associations for WordPerfect and FrameMaker

[PaulFransen]

Hello Bodvar,

I am unable to produce PDF files from FM using Acrobat Distiller running under 
CXO. Also, Acrobat Professional 6 (or higher) is not functioning under CXO. 
There have been many people requesting it to be supported (see 
http://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=310;forum=1 ) 
but it is not positioned very high on the Codeweavers lists of votes and 
pledges so I don't think it will be supported in the near future.

I use FM under CXO for editing only and, in my hands (CXO 6.0.1 running under 
SLED10, win98 bottle), it does a satisfactory job. There were some glitches 
in older versions of CXO which have been resolved now. For publishing to PDF 
and subsequent editing of the resulting PDF files with Acrobat Professional, 
I have to resort to Windows (running in a virtual machine under Linux of 
course).

I don't use FrameScript and don't own a copy of it so I have no idea of 
whether it works in the CXO environment.

Best regards,

Paul.
