On behalf of Adobe ... There hasn't been a FrameViewer product for many years, dating back to the era of FrameMaker 5.5.6 or so. And Richard is correct. PDF became Adobe's final form file format for viewing content from any Adobe application via our free Adobe Reader.

I believe Alan is correct about FM 5.5.6, and I'm pretty sure FrameViewer was
discontinued before FM 6 came out.
The "comparable product" ever since has been Acrobat/Adobe Reader. You can
easily create a PDF of any FM document, complete with working links, and anyone
can view it with the free Reader. So FrameViewer didn't seem to serve any
useful purpose.
