Alan,
Having the structapps file (or text insets linked to a local structapps file)
on a network drive should not cause too much traffic, as the file is only read
when FM starts. Also, one of my customers has everything on a network drive and
the network latency problem only kicks in when they
I think this is probably a proof of concept issue. I worked for a packaging
machine making company that would love to be able to have their manuals
available to operators as they walked around their machines. Sometimes the
chain of machines was a block long. They have also considered issuing
I think Google safety glasses would be a better idea. That way, you kill two
birds with one stone: information and safety. =D
Oh, and a third benefit: hands free.

Nobody walks around while using FrameMaker.
My guess is they chose Responsive HTML over WebHelp for the same
reason they dropped topics, used larger type and screen shots, added
page breaks, and posted a URL to pages not visible to the public.

They walk around while reading the help docs created in Framemaker. Sorry if
I was unclear. The proof of concept is that FM can be used to create this
sort of documentation.

Sure, it makes sense to generate all of the output formats and make
them available as samples. But choosing Responsive HTML instead of
WebHelp as the format for the primary copy of the help on adobe.com
just serves to highlight its limitations.

I'm curious about one thing (well, more than just one; but one thing in the
current context...):
Has Adobe ever actually said that they use FrameMaker produce the FrameMaker
documentation?
I know that Microsoft has never made any such statement about the MS Word
documentation, and for years
You can sometimes tell from the PDF properties ... I always find it interesting
when I see stuff that tells me that people don't trust their own [editing and
other] tools! :)
But in this case, the meta-data for Using-FrameMaker-12.pdf says it was created
by Application: FrameMaker 12.0.3 using
In the old days (circa 1993), when Microsoft actually produced hard copy
manuals - and they were fabulous manuals from a content standpoint - they did
actually use MS Word to produce them (my husband was a Microsoft programmer at
the time).
Since they've gone to online help, it's more about
Microsoft reportedly didn't use FrameMaker or RoboHelp to create
online help:

Microsoft Press has used FrameMaker for some books and probably still
does. They did the MMoS4 in InDesign.
I currently need to create a new non-structured book in Frame 12 that will
have one of three possible outputs (to .pdf). I’m looking for advice on
the best way to create and maintain the project.
To simplify the problem: previously we had the Product A user manual and
the Product B user manual
This is a good use case for WebWorks ePublishers PDF XSL FO output. It allows
you to create a PDF with fragments of documentation more efficiently that FMs
PDF output.

I also thoroughly endorse BookVars - it is definitely the most highly used
add-on to FrameMaker for me!
