Re: Adobe Unveils Technical Communication Suite

Great news! This seems to me to be the official stamp of Adobe finally acknowledging FrameMaker for what it is first and foremost: the best all-over technical publication workhorse. IMHO it only remains for Adobe to realise that FM is also one of the best tools for regular book layout, except

Re: Adobe Unveils Technical Communication Suite

So just how tightly are FM and RH integrated? I can't recall a successful marriage of the two tools, historically. However, it's only been a short time since the two were developed under the same roof, so to speak. I'd be interested in learning more about how these two tools work together. --

According to Adobe's web site, RH 7 integration is one-way .fm or .mif file import. If this is true, it is not integration in my book. Nor is it any sort of improvement on the pre-Adobe versions, which imported MIF files at least since X5, if not before then

Re: Adobe Unveils Technical Communication Suite

If round-tripping were a prerequisite for single-sourcing, then using Acrobat Distiller and Webworks Publisher to create deliverables from your FM files wouldn't qualify. On the surface this would appear to be true, however Distiller and WWP are not authoring environments. The FM files remain
