Whether publishing for high-technology, manufacturing,
ﬁ nancial services, government, or other industries,
Adobe FrameMaker software is the ideal tool for creating
long and complex documents that can be distributed to
worldwide audiences via multiple channels.

Advanced authoring and publishing
Since 1986, Adobe FrameMaker has been the

soft ware of choice for technical documentation

and large-scale document publishing due to

its stability, ﬂ exibility, and ability to handle

the entire publishing process—from word

processing and page layout to delivery in a

large number of formats, including Adobe PDF,

print, HTML, XML and more.
Adobe FrameMaker provides robust features

not found in any other publishing soft ware

application, including improved XML handling

with support for the migration to XML and

structured content, enhanced authoring tools,

and more. With these groundbreaking tools,

companies can create once and publish across

multiple formats, allowing documentation to

be updated more easily than ever before. Th e

result is a more ﬂ exible workﬂ ow, requiring less

production time, and smoother revision cycles.

Flexible solutions for a variety of industries
Companies around the world have built

leading-edge publishing workﬂ ows around

Adobe FrameMaker to increase publishing

eﬃ ciency and consistency. For example,

Advantica, a global leader in engineering

simulation technology, uses FrameMaker to

produce user guides and technical manuals

up to 1,000 pages each for its simulation

soft ware. Moody’s Investors Service develops

credit opinion handbooks for distribution to

institutional investors and corporate portfolio

managers. And the State of Michigan Family

Independence Agency uses FrameMaker

to maintain more than 100,000 pages of

documentation relating to agency procedures

and legal guidelines. With the scalability that

FrameMaker provides, diverse businesses

can meet their growing need for multiformat

publishing.

Robust support network of developers
and consultants
FrameMaker customers can take advantage of

a wealth of third-party training and consulting

services. Th e FrameMaker community includes

documentation specialists, translation houses,

template designers, plug-in developers, and

active user forums. Some consultants specialize

in the use of FrameMaker within XML or

SGML workﬂ ows, providing document analysis,

DTD or XML schema design, template design,

and integration services. Content management

vendors have built integrated workﬂ ows with

FrameMaker, and some companies focus on

delivering automated publishing solutions built

on top of FrameMaker Server.
