Adobe ships FrameMaker 7.0
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac

New XML features streamline business operations and accelerate time to market
Adobe has announced that the newest version of FrameMaker is now shipping. FrameMaker
7.0 is an XML authoring and publishing solution that automates and streamlines
information management across the extended enterprise. With v7.0 organizations have
the power to repurpose content to employees, customers, partners and suppliers.
FrameMaker Server -- also available now -- gives companies the flexibility to automate
and personalize the publishing of data-driven content to multiple channels.
"The growing demand for XML-based publishing requires configurable tools for
structured document editing to be coupled with robust tools for cross-media
production," said Mark Walter, senior analyst, The Seybold Report. "FrameMaker 7.0
delivers both of these capabilities in a single desktop package, and the new server
version responds to demand for automated publishing tools that plug into an
organization''s content infrastructure. It''s priced aggressively and plays well with
enterprise publishing architectures."
FrameMaker provides businesses with an easy way to employ XML to facilitate reuse and
speed time-to-market for mission-critical content. In addition to support for the
authoring, editing, importing and publishing of valid XML content, FrameMaker''s
template-driven environment lets customers efficiently publish single source documents
to multiple channels. These include print, Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF), Web,
eBooks and PDAs, streamlining overall business operations.
To streamline document collaboration, content sharing, and information search
capabilities, FrameMaker now supports the WWW Distributed Authoring and Versioning
(WebDAV) and Adobe�s XMP (Extensible Metadata Platform).
Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 and FrameMaker Server 7.0 are now available in the US, Europe and
Canada through authorized resellers and direct from Adobe for US$799 (SRP) and US$209
for the upgrade through August 22, 2002. FrameMaker Server 7.0 is pegged to sell for
US$7,999.
Analysis: Solutions like this are becoming increasingly common. The costs of
repurposing has to be seen as time and money wasted. Solutions like Adobe''s "publish
anywhere" applications and QuickTime, which allow easy repurposing, are the future in
my opinion of publishing. Yes, I consider video -- TV, CD, DVD, tape, cable,
broadcast, etc. -- as a form of publishing.
