Re: Frame Light, what's the potential market?

I wonder how many of us might buy a Frame Light for home use, even with no output capabilities at all. I think remember a WYSINQWYG (...not quite...) editor for Interleaf, and Flare has an editor for use by reviewers. Something like that would suit me fine. In my present job I don't have a

Adobe wants you to use Acrobat for that (with PDFs). That why they incorporated comments features in Acrobat and incorporating the comments into Frame. Regards, Shmuel Wolfson Technical Writer 052-763-7133 On 2/22/2011 12:56 PM, Anthony Davey wrote:

Hi Ant, Probably not what you want to hear but... Frankly, why bother. It is reinventing the wheel that Adobe decided to let fall some years go with Frame View, et al. InDesign already has a client application for copy editing, I see no particular reason for Frame to have another

I admit I'm astonished that any software product manager could ask about the market for a Light version of their product. I thought the industry had already proven - time and again - that such things never thrive. If they want to expand the market for Frame, why not bring back the Mac/Unix

This is something I have been in favor of for at least 10 years. It would be great to be able to set up read-only templates (both structured and unstructured) for users, particularly those with fairly simple documents. If it were inexpensive enough ($99 at the most), it could be used by clients

On the other hand, faced with clients who keep asking me to port their Frame manuals into Word so they can make text edits, I would welcome a relatively inexpensive 'Frame Light product. As it presently stands, clients will not buy Frame, and find PDF markup cumbersome for extensive edits.

I'd like to see this as well, but also doubt that this would be something that Adobe will get behind. You'd think that Adobe's web-editor (Buzzword) would export to FM (or MIF), but no. It exports to PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, ZIP, TXT, ODT, and EPUB (hmm .. need to check that out). C'mon .. MIF is
