Adobe FrameMaker Reviews & Product Details

FrameMaker is extremely stable and consistent. For example, you want a numbered list nested in another number list - thsi is handled with ease and always correct. It is very easy to learn the basics and create great looking documents. It integrated very well with Adobe Acrobat for PDFpublishing. It's grapics tool is basic but still good enough for most graphics. Table handling is also excelllent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When it cannot find graphics that are in more than one folder, it goes through the file graphic by graphic, so you have to keep specifying the folder where the graphics are, back and forth rather than scanning the whole file for every graphic in the specified folder and only then requesting the folder for another missing graphic.

Not as sexy, less graphic-like than InDesign. Also, curious about using it for e-learning to export a SCORM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The most helpful feature of the Adobe Framemaker is book feature. It helps in printing the document with auto generated TOC, texts and links. It is also good for Topic based authoring. IP Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The part which I dislike in Adobe Framemaker is that the structured authoring is not very much user friendly. Also after using the find and replace feature, auto save option is not available, each file need to be manually saved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can:

- Save a document as XML or HTML formats.

- Use ExtendedScripts to modify your document that has a number of pages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Options to edit graphics like lines, a square, etc should be changed. For example, changing and filling colors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
