Adobe FrameMaker 9 is a desktop publishing and word processing application that is popular for large documents. Originally created by Frame Technology, FrameMaker was acquired by Adobe in 1995. There had been off and on talk around the industry that Adobe was going to wind down development of the FrameMaker product especially after they ceased support for the product on the Macintosh, but with the release of FrameMaker 8 in 2007, and with the inclusion of the first release of the Technical Communications Suite, it put the end to that rumor.
FrameMaker 9 is a key component in the Technical Communications Suite. It provides the solution for the creation and publication of technical documentation. It combines word processing capabilities and XML-based structured authoring with template-based publishing.
With FrameMaker you can create, edit, and publish content with features for automatic numbering, cross-references, table of content, indexes, books and more. You can work in style tagging word processor mode, or in a fully structured environment optimized for editing and producing valid XML and SGML. You can even manage content entirely in XML, use XSLT during editing, and conform to industry standards such as DITA and DocBook.
