Product Description
From the Manufacturer
Adobe FrameMaker 8 software is a powerful authoring and publishing solution for technical communicators and an essential upgrade for existing FrameMaker users who want to author and publish technical documentation in multiple languages.
Features:
- Unicode support (new): edit and create content in multiple languages, and author content for global audiences with dictionary- and hyphenation-support for more languages.
- DITA support (new): use a prebuilt DITA application to author, publish, and distribute topic-oriented information in XML and create DITA maps.
- Rich media support (new): Create more engaging online documentation by incorporating 3D models, rich Adobe Flash Player-compatible animations, and simulations created with Adobe Captivate software. Generate Adobe PDF files with live 3D models. (Windows only)
- Text edit tracking and multiple undo (new): highlight, accept, and reject text changes and undo multiple changes with a single click using the History palette.
- Conditional output (enhanced): Effortlessly single-source variations of the same document for different channels and purposes. Use conditional tags and build complex Boolean expressions for defining output filters in structured and unstructured mode, and easily distinguish multi-conditional text through improved color coding.
- Attribute-based output (new): use attribute values to control conditional output in structured mode.
- Conversion tables: migrate existing content to XML and structured content with minimal manual touch-up.
- XML roundtripping (enhanced): Preserve comments, variables, and conditional text when importing and exporting structured content and migrating XML content. Now you can roundtrip Web-based graphics in XML workflows.
- XML Schemas (enhanced): use XML Schemas as an alternative to DTDs for defining the structure of your content.
- XSLT support: Incorporate XSLT scripts into your editing workflow. Automatically transform your XML content when you open it in FrameMaker, or save it out from FrameMaker with XSLT scripts.
- Migration guide: an introductory migration guide outlines the basic steps required in migrating to XML and structured content.
- Microsoft Office 2007 support (new): import content created in Microsoft Word 2007 and Excel 2007.

Adobe Framemaker 8.0 Review,
This review is from: Adobe Framemaker 8.0 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
If you are new to tech writing, I'd suggest getting this product as it will stand to you in your long-term career development. This is not cheap by any means but if you land a lucrative Framemaker contract, then you will have justified the cost of the product.Like I said, this is for those who are serious about a career in tech writing, otherwise your better off with products such as Madcap or DITA type applications. The interface and feature list is not that different than previous versions but is more aligned with other adobe products. You can also download a 'try before you buy' trial version on the adobe site. If you're happy with it, then maybe invest in this powerhouse tech writing application. Regards, Ivan

Adobe is letting Framemaker rot,
By rct (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Adobe Framemaker 8.0 [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
I first started using Framemaker on Sun workstations in 1986. For many years there was nothing better. It has a bit of a learning curve because it gets the notion of separating style from content right. Framemaker is still the preferred choice for large projects such as books or documentation projects that require multiple output formats and structured XML.However it has advanced very little throughout the years. Modern features that you'd expect from using many basic editors are missing. It took until Frame 7.2 for there to be more than one level of undo! However undo is crippled. Frame 8 looses all undo information when ever you save. Even when Frame auto-saves the document it looses the undo information. Worse yet it pops up a dialog box to tell you that during auto-saves. This is unacceptable for a product that costs as much as Framemaker does and is intended for serious work. Unless you really need to do large projects you should look for other products.
