I wasn't around for the OOB version, so I don't know how much work needed to be done for the initial setup; I just know by anecdote that maintenance for both was apparently a PITA for the person responsible. > On March 13, 2014 at 2:33 PM Robert Lauriston wrote: > > > Are you speaking specificall

ePub is quite good at creating PDFs, but there are a couple of caveats: 1. It does not work on a remote Citrix desktop. (I suspect that it might have problems with others, but have no experience with them) 2. It *really* wants a modern system with lots of RAM (>8GB ) and drive space. It will work

What are you using now? An earlier version of FrameMaker? FM12 basically has most of RoboHelp folded in so you get two for one. To see what you'd lose with only RoboHelp, generate a PDF from RoboHelp and compare it with one saved from FrameMaker. Note that FrameMaker can save PDF with change mark

Unless you need PDF output or are using structured authoring, then there's no need to single source out of FM. As for tracking usage, if your help is on a web server (not a LAN server), you can check out the Adobe forums or RoboColum(n) (www.cmcandrew.com/robocolumn/
