Adobe FrameMaker software is a powerful authoring and publishing solution for technical communicators and an essential upgrade for existing FrameMaker users who want to author and publish technical documentation in multiple languages.

Features

• Unicode support

  Edit and create content in multiple languages, and author content for global audiences with dictionary and hyphenation support for more languages.

• DITA support

  Use a prebuilt DITA application to author, publish, and distribute topic-oriented information in XML and create DITA maps.

• Rich media support

  Create more engaging online documentation by incorporating 3D models, rich Adobe Flash Player compatible animations, and simulations created with Adobe Captivate software. Generate Adobe PDF files with live 3D models. (Windows only)

• Text edit tracking and multiple undo

  Highlight, accept, and reject text changes and undo multiple changes with a single click using the History palette.

• Conditional output

  Effortlessly single-source variations of the same document for different channels and purposes. Use conditional tags and build complex Boolean expressions for defining output filters in structured and unstructured mode, and easily distinguish multiconditional text through improved color coding.

• Attribute-based output

  Use attribute values to control conditional output in structured mode.

• Conversion tables

  Migrate existing content to XML and structured content with minimal manual touch-up.

• XML roundtripping

  Preserve comments, variables, and conditional text when importing and exporting structured content and migrating XML content. Now you can roundtrip web-based graphics in XML workflows.

• XML Schemas

  Use XML Schemas as an alternative to DTDs for defining the structure of your content.

• XSLT support

  Incorporate XSLT scripts into your editing workflow. Automatically transform your XML content when you open it in FrameMaker, or save it out from FrameMaker with XSLT scripts.

• Migration guide

  An introductory migration guide outlines the basic steps required in migrating to XML and structured content
