FrameMaker in the Press
- Blogcritics Magazine, May 6, 2008 -- Software Review:
Adobe Technical Communication Suite - Adobe Acrobat 8 3D by T. Michael
Testi
"... It has now grown to a product that promotes interactivity.
Working with Adobe Acrobat 8 3D I see enormous potential as it
sits right now, but also for the future. The way it works with
the CAD documents, with interactivity, with RoboHelp, Captivate,
and FrameMaker, as well as with all of the other Adobe products,
and even products from other manufacturers, makes Acrobat a key
linchpin product." [review]

Review: Adobe Technical Communication Suite - Adobe Captivate
3 by T. Michael Testi
"... All in all, Adobe Captivate 3 simplifies the creation
of training, e-learning, and demonstration content. Unlike many
screen capture programs, Captivate also allows for interaction
and testing. While it may be easy to use, to use it well will
still take time, preparation, and work. If you are in need of
putting together a learning course and training material, then
I highly recommend Adobe Captivate 3." [review]

Review: Adobe Technical Communication Suite - Adobe RoboHelp
7 From Adobe Systems by T. Michael Testi
"... Enhanced support for Adobe FrameMaker 8 – now
allows you to import multiple FrameMaker file format types including
.fm, .book, .mif, .bk, and .frm at one time. Conditional
build tags (CBT) or user defined variables (UDV) can be converted
from FrameMaker to RoboHelp format saving a lot of time and effort." [review]

Review - Adobe FrameMaker 8 From Adobe Systems by T. Michael
Testi
"... Needless to say that FrameMaker 8 still does what it
has done best for so many years, that is create long documents
and technical documents. It is superb for working with collaborated
works as it has the ability to share files and facilitate peer
reviews. If there is one thing that seems a bit out of place,
it is the interface, which seems a bit long in the tooth with
respect to many of the other Adobe products, but if the important
point is productivity then you have a state of the art engine
that will get the job done. With the addition of DITA which breaks
down a publishing project into reusable topics and brought together
by maps and makes for a very natural fit with FrameMaker's XML
handling. Then add the 3D support, this makes for a very good
upgrade indeed." [review]

- The Tech Writer's Garret, February 16, 2008-- Fixing
FrameMaker
"It is generally accepted that FrameMaker is one of the
best tools for reliably authoring long documents. In this category
of software, Microsoft Word isn't even a contender. Yet for all
FrameMaker's many strengths, it still suffers from some rather
annoying problems that can really throw a spanner into the works
that is your writing. One of these is FrameMaker problems is
the size of some of its dialog windows, especially those used
for selecting conditional text settings." ... [blog post]

"Adobe is a great company with great products; however they
