Adobe announces FM9 and Tech Comm Suite 2
Clint, Depending on how you slice and dice it, there are at least several levels of "review" features. At the basic level, you can generate a PDF from Acrobat to which reviewers can add comments, using Reader. That's been in place for several years and doesn't have anything to do with Frame. It's an Acrobat feature and tool. New in Tech Comm Suite 2 is FrameMaker 9's ability to read in the comments from the "reviewed" Acrobat file and to manage them in Frame rather than in Acrobat.

I notice that TCS 2.0 includes a version of Acrobat called Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extended, and I suspect that this is the "special sauce" that makes the new PDF workflow work.

I have been using the trial version with the sole purpose of seeing how well the windows cmyk support is. It is working great so far. I separated my file out and and I got four "plates" per page, each showing which plate it was. Just what I wanted. This has always been a big drawback for me; my clients can't do four- color printing very easily like in InDesign. Nice job, so far.

Adobe announces FM9 and Tech Comm Suite 2
Acrobat 9 Pro Extended is indeed available a separate product. Note: I don't know whether it has the PDF workflow capability in it or not, or how well it integrates with FrameMaker 9 - when purchased without TCS 2.0 that is.

RE: Adobe announces FM9 and Tech Comm Suite 2
My understanding of the review feature was that the reviewers only need the free Acrobat 9 reader. But maybe we would need the pro extended version of Acrobat along with FM 9 to get the full functionality? That would be disappointing.

I notice that TCS 2.0 includes a version of Acrobat called Acrobat 9.0 Pro Extended, and I suspect that this is the "special sauce" that makes the new PDF workflow work. So I suspect that the real question is whether that version of Acrobat will be available as a standalone product, as well as whether it hooks into the standalone version of FrameMaker 9.0. -Fred Ridder ___ You are currently subscribed to Framers as clint.o...@craneaerospace.com.

Does anyone know if the PDF review feature will be available in FM 9 by itself, if you don't buy the whole TC Suite? We use FM, but not the other components of the suite.
