TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I have a two questions about PageMaker conversions:
1. When converting PageMaker 6.0 for Windows to PageMaker 6.0 for Mac, our graphics department is having trouble with the line drawings. This is no doubt a result of the difference in graphics file formats between Mac and PC. What is the best (and quickest) way to circumvent this problem? Scanning and replacing the pictures? Are there any utilities that will help? The graphics department switched from PC's to Mac's last year because printers were unable to accept the PC files on disk (or else charged more to do so), and they run into this problem whenever we update manuals.
2. Has anyone used a utility that converts PageMaker files to Quark files? Is one available?
Respond privately or to the list, whichever seems more appropriate.
Thanks!
