Adobe Technical Communications Suite 5 includes FrameMaker 12,
RoboHelp 11, Acrobat XI, and Captivate 7. Also Presenter 9, but most
people require PowerPoint so that's not adding much value. You can get
a 30-day free trial to check it out.

Do not import your FrameMaker book(s) into RoboHelp. Link them
instead. I created a cheat sheet and sample project for doing that as
it was not well documented:

I believe you can configure RoboHelp to use the same tags and CSH
header file you've been using for WebWorks.

 If so, is this still Single Sourcing, or do you have to fiddle a lot to put
 into RoboHelp.

 Thanks

 If you?re already happy with authoring in FM, I?d stick with it. Then I
 would get the Tech Comm Suite to produce your EPUB output and/or HTML5
 responsive help that would work for tablets too ( look much better than an
 EPUB). Don?t get too suckered in by FM12?s claims that you can publish
 straight out of FM ? the level of control over output is still being worked
 on. Try the trial version first on a non-production machine to test it out.

TCS 4 included Illustrator; TCS 3 included Photoshop so or would be the more 
accurate conjunction. Prior version included neither, if memory serves.

..prior versions have included Photoshop and Illustrator...

2014-06-12 Thread Jeff Coatsworth
TCS is a bundle of products that have special integrations to work together 
over the standalone versions of the software. The lineup keeps changing with 
each release, but TCS5 has FM12, RH11, Captivate 7, Presenter 9, Acrobat Pro XI 
– prior versions have included Photoshop and Illustrator.

Because I still have to produce PDFs, I use FM for all my content and then 
import it into RH for producing WebHelp. Very little fiddling needed.
