Hi,

I do not know anything about InDesign's export to HTML5, but I think
that you will want to switch to that format (or at least provide HTML5 
additionally) sooner or later.
When you use your software , this is much easier to read than PDF.

Best regards

Winfried

Subject: [Framers] Frame vs InDesign

New management is pushing for the overall use of InDesign for marketing 
collateral and technical documentation at my company.
I'm a long time Frame user, producing a set of software documentation ranging 
from release notes, installation guides, API guides, and a 160-page user guide. 
All are delivered as PDF files.

I've been asked to figure out whether or not InDesign will fit my documentation 
needs, and have many questions.


  *   Most importantly: Can InDesign generate good PDF files, with working 
links?
  *   Is InDesign good for large documents (100-160 pages), with TOCs, and lots 
of internal and external cross-references?
  *   Can I transfer my existing paragraph and character styles from Frame to 
InDesign?
  *   Can I import a Frame book into InDesign?

Has anyone out there successfully switched from Frame to Indesign?
Is this a non-starter for the type of documents I produce?

Any advice, thoughts or pointers are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
