Hi, I would recommend that you look specifically at the XML support in FrameMaker if XML is an option to you.
There are many other considerations in using FrameMaker ... here's just a few 1. If you plan to migrate your Interleaf documents into structured XML, you can make you of the conversion tables in FrameMaker. These can help to convert your unstructured content into XML. Of course, a successful conversion will only be as good as the source documents you use!! 2. FrameMaker has it's own built-in PDF creation that includes the ability to create hyperlinks, bookmarks etc. out of the box. 3. Maintenance of templates in FrameMaker is a lot easier than using other XML to PDF technologies. This means that template maintenance can remain an in-house process rather than having to possibly use external expertise to make changes. 4. FrameMaker is a WYSIWYG system that may be preferable to your authors whilst still working within the rules defined for your structured publications. 5. Coming from an Interleaf background you should find that switching to FrameMaker will have a much lower training requirement. 6. Making use of existing structured applications in FrameMaker (e.g. DITA) you should be able to get up and running relatively quickly.
