***Vendor post*** We just released Flare 4, which will do everything I suspect you need and more. You can download a trial version at www.madcapsoftware.com and sign up for a demo, if you want. The demo is good, in that it will shows you some of what the product does.
We can certainly dynamically link to Frame files, not problems. We easily do multiple sets of variables, including importing the variables in your Frame files. And the conditions come thru easy pleasey. sharon Sharon Burton 951-369-8590 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Callie Bertsche Sent: Friday, September 12, 2008 2:59 PM To: framers@lists.frameusers.com Subject: ePublisher Pro vs. other generated online help Hi Framaniacs ;) I generate 10+ manuals from FrameMaker 7.2 into PDFs, with extensive single sourcing material. Currently, I've been using WebWorks ePublisher Pro 9.1 (I just did an old maintenance upgrade to 9.2, actually) to generate several thousand help pages (between different projects/products). I just received an offer from ePublisher Pro to upgrade to their 2008.2 (9.5) edition for the cost of software maintenance, since I'm on an unsupported (old) version. Primarily I'm wondering: - Do other writers with similar publishing needs consider ePubPro a competitive product? - Have other products sharpened their competitive edge since our last tool decision (a few years ago)? For instance, comparisons with MadCap or Flare? In considering a new product, I know immediately I value the following: - Dynamic connection with FrameMaker documents (ability to rescan/update files in help project file) - Ability to set variables and conditions or pass them through from the document, in a user-friendly manner, when building the help Thanks for any "help" on the help anyone has time to give!
