Program software, yes. Customer support and licensing, no. At times it feels like FrameMaker is "abandonware", at least with respect to the attitudes coming from within Adobe... a begrudged necessary evil that no one there really wants the hassles of dealing with, hoping that it will just die and go away.

In the latest version they redid the menus and added a shortcut to finding menu items. They also claim to have fixed some long-standing bugs. My only gripe is the high price for upgrades. But they do seem to be working on the program. -- Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 058-763-7133 On 26-Jun-18 3:25 AM, Peter Gold wrote: > These recent threads about licensing and related Adobe corporate-level > failings, and the associated sense of abandonment that's been voiced > by long-long-long-time FrameMaker users who represent a community of > talented technical authors and publishers prompt me to think "Is there > any next step that Adobe might take?"
