- IPEX 2002, December 16, 2005 -- "Classic publishing"

"... FrameMaker has a history on UNIX platforms and
is designed to work with long structured documents, often linked

to cope with long documents adequately. ..." [Blog post]

- Linux Journal, December 8, 2005 -- Economics Researchers
Meet OpenDocument by Marco Fioretti
"... The central part of the seminar centered on the
fact that almost all software programs are worthless if they
don't have information to process, store and display. Locking
up that information is the easiest way a manufacturer has to
keep selling copies of a program, without really improving it,
but it can be terribly costly for users. Adobe, for example,
can maintain the same pricing strategy of FrameMaker,
even if its development has been completely out-sourced to India,
because of the product's proprietary format. ..." [Opinion]
- 24-7PressRelease.com, December 1, 2005 -- Mekon
develops First XML Adobe FrameMaker publishing adaptor for the
DITA Open Toolkit
"... Users wishing to utilise the benefits of XML publishing
and the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) standard
can now, for the first time, use FrameMaker as the pagination
engine to format output content as PDF within their system. Mekon
has developed the adaptor in response to a growing recognition
by technical publications departments of the benefits of using
DITA's 'topic' based approach to enable effective content re-use
and is being made available via the DITA Open Toolkit. ..."

Mellel 2.0 Word Processor
"... Mellel 2.0 is a huge step forward for us,"
says Eyal Redler, CTO at RedleX. "Our mission with Mellel
was always to provide the ideal word processor for scholars and
writers. Now, with the current version, we're making a significant
move to also fill the void left when FrameMaker for the Mac was
abandoned by Adobe," he adds. The unique thing about the
new features, he claims, is not the features, but the level of
sophistication and control Mellel 2.0 offers with them. ..."

Integrater Keeps Pace with FrameMaker 7.2
"... FrameMaker 7.2 has several new features that are
particularly useful to Vasont users. FrameMaker offers the ability
to process XSLT during the FrameMaker import and export process,
which can facilitate moving content in and out of FrameMaker
to a desired structure. Vasont users are able to leverage this
ability when moving content in and out of the Vasont repository

2005 -- FrameMaker 7.2 Review by Sarah O'Keefe
"... In the last three releases (7.0, 7.1, and 7.2), Adobe
has clearly emphasized structured FrameMaker development. For
unstructured FrameMaker users, the upgrade is worthwhile if you
need multiple undo or are planning a transition to structured
authoring. If, however, you are happy with your current unstructured
workflow and have no plans to move to structure, then version
7.2 doesn't offer much for you. ..." [Review]

- ZDNet UK, April 18, 2005 -- Adobe makes postscript
of Macromedia
"...The weaker of these products will be tempting targets:
Fireworks (at least for image editing), Freehand and GoLive are
particularly vulnerable. Adobe has a history of keeping life
support switched on -- it still supports DTP dinosaurs such as
PageMaker (long supplanted by the far superior InDesign) and
FrameMaker -- but nobody pays $3bn for a hospital ward. Adobe
owes it to both families of users to make its intentions plain
as soon as possible, or it risks being seen as fonder of the
power of monopoly than its responsibilities...." [Comment]

Cutting the High Cost of Creating Documents
"... Dynamic enterprise publishing software supports
personalization and customization for specific applications and
customers. But these systems also maximize content reuse, thereby
saving time and money on each document produced. Some 30 vendors
are in the market, with products ranging from XML-based content
editors such as ArborText Epic and Pageflex .Edit to document
production tools such as BlastRadius XMetal and Adobe FrameMaker
and on to specialized document servers such as Quark Dynamic
Document Server, Adobe Central Pro Output Sever and ArborText
Enterprise E-Content Engine. Sales of this type of software will
total only $400 million this year, IDC estimates. But with a
27-percent growth rate, IDC estimates sales will top $1 billion
by 2009..." [Article]
