In all of this, one thought occurred to me and it regards the upcoming release of Frame 8 later this year. Since RoboHelp is now an Adobe product, what are the odds Adobe will drop WebWorks and adopt RH as the chosen output method for CHM with FrameMaker? It would seem an ideal solution, with Flare nipping at their heels. Did I just add more fuel to the fire?

RoboHelp You could really stir the pot by throwing ePublisher in the mix as a single-sourcing solution. <g> There's an import utility available for ePublisher that can take any RH project and convert it to MIF, retaining links and mapping formats as you determine in the interface. Depending on the size of the RH project and whether there are multiple RH projects to merge into a single-source ePub project with multiple versions/translations/localization as output, it could take hours or a few weeks to complete... BUT it would be a one-time hit. Then set it up with AutoMap to create the PDFs in sequence whenever you'd like (even while you're asleep). Just food for thought...conceding, of course, that Mif2Go is more cost-effective. Rene Lin Surasky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Very true. However, I didn't mention that there are 4 writers on the team who ARE using RH to create content, and not only aren't complaining, but one of them will fight as hard to keep RH as I will to keep FM. We're in different countries, with an international audience, so it's divided as to what our customers want. Which is why I think FM is perfect: We can delliver BOTH PDF and CHM easily. I guess I just need to keep repeating that... _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/bgagne%40husky.ca Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info. _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send list messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or visit http://lists.frameusers.com/mailman/options/framers/archive%40mail-archive.com Send administrative questions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Visit http://www.frameusers.com/ for more resources and info.
