I wondered the same thing. From what it looks like to me, RoboHelp supports Framemaker in that it imports .fm and .mif files. Since they don't list Frame as a supported "authoring environment", it doesn't look like it is heavily integrated (/assumption).
Here's what I gleaned off the website: "Support for Adobe FrameMaker 8 (Enhanced) Import multiple Adobe FrameMaker(r) files (MIF and FM) at one time with tables of contents, indexes, and glossaries. Apply conditional build tags or user-defined variables to content before importing or when it's time to publish. Map FrameMaker styles to RoboHelp styles when importing MIF files. Repurpose FrameMaker content for HTML publishing on import and use Topic Alias Markers to identify context-sensitive help." http://www.adobe.com/products/robohelp/productinfo/features/ "Which authoring environment does RoboHelp 7 support other than the built-in HTML editor? RoboHelp 7 supports Adobe Dreamweaver(r) CS3; Macromedia(r) Dreamweaver 8 from Adobe; Microsoft FrontPage 2003; HomeSite 5.5; and Microsoft Word 2007, Word 2003, Word 2002, and Word 2000." http://www.adobe.com/products/robohelp/productinfo/faq/ "Does RoboHelp 7 integrate with FrameMaker? You can import FrameMaker 8 MIF and FM files with style mapping, conditional tags, user-defined variables, and Captivate content intact. Additional RoboHelp 7 and FrameMaker integration can be experienced through new Adobe Technical Communication Suite software, which includes RoboHelp 7, FrameMaker 8, Captivate 3, and Adobe Acrobat(r) 3D Version 8 software." http://www.adobe.com/products/robohelp/productinfo/faq/ -----Original Message----- From: framers-bounces+moneill=meta-comm....@lists.frameusers.com [mailto:framers-bounces+moneill=meta-comm.com at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Bill Swallow Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 9:23 AM To: richard.melanson at us.tel.com Cc: framers at omsys.com; Frame2Acrobat at egroups.com; framers at frameusers.com Subject: Re: Adobe Unveils Technical Communication Suite So just how tightly are FM and RH integrated? I can't recall a successful marriage of the two tools, historically. However, it's only been a short time since the two were developed under the same roof, so to speak. I'd be interested in learning more about how these two tools work together. -- Bill Swallow HATT List Owner WWP-Users List Owner Senior Member STC, TechValley Chapter STC Single-Sourcing SIG Manager http://techcommdood.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as moneill at meta-comm.com.
