Convert FM to EDD

Understanding FM and EDD file formats

The FM file format is primarily associated with Adobe FrameMaker, a document processor designed for writing and editing large or complex documents, including structured documents. FrameMaker is widely used for technical writing and publishing.

The EDD file format stands for Element Definition Document, which is also used in Adobe FrameMaker. EDD files define the structure and rules for structured documents, specifying how elements should be used and formatted within a FrameMaker document.

Converting FM to EDD

Converting an FM file to an EDD file involves extracting the structural definitions from a FrameMaker document to create a standalone EDD file. This process is useful for defining or modifying the structure of documents in FrameMaker.

Best software for FM to EDD conversion

The best software for converting FM to EDD is Adobe FrameMaker itself, as it natively supports both file formats. To perform the conversion, follow these steps:

• Open your FM file in Adobe FrameMaker.
• Navigate to the File menu.
• Select Export and then choose EDD from the available options.
• Save the EDD file to your desired location.

Using Adobe FrameMaker ensures that the conversion process maintains the integrity and structure of your document.
