MIF Filter plug-in ships
DTP Tools has released its new MIF Filter plug-in for InDesign CS3 and CS3. MIF Filter plug-in is an import filter enabling users to convert FrameMaker documents into InDesign, easing migration for companies with legacy documents in the FrameMaker format. The software enables users to spot as well as process colors, and supports all paragraph and character attributes. Anchored frames accompany tables and graphic objects, while sideheads are interpreted using margin in text frames as well as new anchored text frames. MIF Filter 1.0 is available from €35-€1,800, depending on desired page credit (system requirements were unavailable).
FrameMaker's auto numbering feature is transformed into lists in CS3, and all system variables are interpreted into CS3's variables, according to the company. Users can preserve cross-references functionality using DTP Tools CrossReference plug-in for InDesign, and can substitute font families as well as font faces during conversion.
The software offers encoding support for Western, East Europe, Hebrew, Arabic, Greek, Russian, Turkish, and Baltic languages.
