FrameMaker Book File Type

What is a BK File Type?

You will probably only encounter BK files if you use the first versions of Adobe FrameMaker to compose technical documents. The purpose of the BK book files is to organize several pages (stored in .FM files) into a single composition, much like a real life book.

While books are an important aspect of FrameMaker, software no longer routinely uses BK files to save books. In the mid-1990s, FrameMaker started to save 5 books with l' extension .book instead of l' extension .bk.

Since the BK format is old and outdated, you should save your books in FrameMaker as BOOK files instead of BK files.
