If you're not afraid of working on Windows, RoboHelp can do this kind
of stuff.
We settled on this years ago, for similar reasons: online (HTML), PDF
generation, and printed are all options using it.
I wasn't really part of the decision on it and didn't do any of the
work to use it, so I'm not all that familiar with its use.
Our online version is at http://help.joborder.com if you want to see
it in action. The information is most likely outdated, but at least
you can see how RoboHelp works from the user perspective. It's
actually pretty cool.
The main web page for the product is http://www.adobe.com/products/
robohelp/
Looks like Adobe bought out Macromedia while I was sleeping...I mean
buried in work. ;-)
HTH,

Or maybe this is [ON]? I was wondering what tools and platforms were
used to create the stellar A4D docs. Would you recommend them again?
I used FrameMaker, which is an absolutely awesome tool, but an
incredible bear to set up. I print to a PostScript file and then
Distill that to create the PDF.
Since FrameMaker doesn't run under Mac OS X (thanks a million,
Adobe), I have to convert the docs to InDesign.
We're looking for some tools to use to create documentation in
printed
and online forms. The most ideal situation would be create once,
deploy many (HTML, Printed, PDF, Contextual Help, etc.)
I think either FrameMaker or InDesign can do that kind of thing.
