You can quite easily use Framemaker but you will need package to provide the DTDs and the front end matter you need for S1000D data modules.
An example of the product you will need is Mekon Eclipse S1000D which acts as a plug in for Framemaker. This also allows you to still produce stuff in unstructured as well as structured, the PTC product (was called Arbortext) is a pure structured authoring tool. The free download I think you may be referring to is the DITA Tools which although is used for producing structured data modules is not S1000D compliant. Regards Richard Mitchell Senior Tech Author P Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail. Does anyone have some experience with creation of S1000D manuals in Framemaker, no matter the Framemaker version? One of our customers and by consequence my project manager asked me to find out if we can write them via PTC products but price seems the first and main obstacle, besided the learning curve. And as we do have a lot of experience with (unstructured) Frame, it would be obvious to insist on writing them via our beloved tool. The download of the package is for free, right? Anyhow, I'm going to have a look at this webinar https://my.adobe.acrobat.com/p31412590/ but any real-life experiences you all like to share would be great! thanks in advance, Tom The data contained in, or attached to, this e-mail, may contain confidential information.
