In my business (document/software translation/localization), the Unicode support alone is worth the price of admission several times over. I was as giddy as a schoolgirl when I printed a Russian doc to PDF & all the bookmarks came out perfectly. I've been using TimeSavers in 7.1 and, while it is a huge help, there are characters in several languages that do not convert correctly, requiring tedious copy/pasting to correct. I'm working with the trial version until Purchasing gets the upgrade ordered, and we'll recommend upgrading to several of our clients.
BUT... it really is disappointing to see relatively few real innovations. IMO, a lot of the new features warrant only an "It's about time", not "Wow, cool!" Makes me wonder what the Frame engineers at Adobe have been doing for the umpteen years between 7.2 & this version. -----Original Message----- From: framers-bounces+acarrico=adamsglobalization.com at lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+acarrico=adamsglobalization.com at lists.frameusers .com] On Behalf Of Sarah O'Keefe Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2007 3:00 PM To: framers at frameusers.com Subject: first impressions of FrameMaker 8 I've posted an overview of FrameMaker 8 with my impressions here: http://www.scriptorium.com/palimpsest/2007/08/framemaker-8-first-impress ions.html Please feel free to comment on the blog or in this forum.
