As of today if you sign up for the beta, the title is: FrameMaker 8 Prerelease Program So, it appears that 8 is the official number (at least currently). -Paul Pehrson Midvale, UT On 5/17/07, Bernard Aschwanden [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Just to be totally picky, there is no official number

Bill, are you by any chance implying that FramMaker.next will come with a Sushi support. That would be nice. FM does such a nice thing of wrapping upp a lots of things anyway! ;-) Bodvar Bjorgvinsson -- here to lighten up your Monday morning. On 5/17/07, Bill Swallow [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Oh, yeah... two more things I remembered from the demos: 1 - you can embed a 3D image in Frame, and the user can manipulate it in Acro Reader 8. They can change the lighting, rotate the object, change it to wireframe, among other things. 2 - you can embed a Flash object directly in Frame. The

I sat in on a couple of the Adobe previews at the conference, and I'm seriously looking forward to Framemaker.next. We're 'thisclose' to converting to XML/Dita, and the feature improvements and support I saw coming from Adobe in the next version make me confident that staying in FM will be a

On a serious note, what was discussed about DITA support? Currently the DITA package for FM has a few limitations and bigs (for example, stripping all XML comments from the files on use). Any indication that the DITA capabilities will be ready for prime time? On 5/17/07, Martinek, Carla [EMAIL

As previously stated, these are just sneak peak previews, and nothing is guaranteed to make it in the final build. For one, I'm pretty sure that they said that the DITA support will be built in, and you won't have to download the DITA App Pack and install it. Improved conditional text handling
