Adobe FrameMaker Reviews & Product Details

It has a familiar interface. The different pods can be customized and moved where it is comfortable for me to use. The short cuts are quite helpful when I need to do many things at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The transition to HTML is clunky and just not what I needed. Sometimes when I am saving as a PDF, the program will freeze, and I will have to start all over. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has a lot of functionalities, beats InDesign everyday! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like all software, there are bugs and hiccups. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Framemaker sticks to what you tell it to stick to. For instance, if you have a numbered list, the numbers don't just randomly change to bullets or something. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Crashing! I work with many tables (thousands) and I have learned to save my work, close FM, and restart my computer every couple of hours to try to keep it from crashing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using FrameMaker for over 20 years. It makes it easy to create and edit documents and books. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That it is a little old school. It had it's hay day back in the 90s. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that the Adobe FrameMaker Series has a lot of different layouts software that is designed to lay out long, technical documents, such as instruction manuals or scientific and engineering articles. This is great for technical writers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only issue I have is the reorganized menu! Being able to change the menu tabs makes it an issue for me. The second issue is the graphics. Not a lot of clip arts to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As with anything Adobe, it's easy to use, pick up, and run with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a little clunky in some areas, the grid system is kind of weird to work with, although if you have any background experience working in indesign or any kind of layout program with Adobe, you should be able to pick it up and run with it pretty quick Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's got easy to follow functions and helps with consistency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You have to update footers in each section separately. It's time intensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Framemaker helps me write articles for pharmaceutical products. It has software that converts the content from FrameMaker to a bunch of online help systems. Framemaker also has strong XML abilities that are used for publishing from databases and converting among a variety of formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like that it is no longer supported by a Mac computer. This is tough because all other Adobe programs are able to perform on a Mac and I would like to have a Mac over a PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the versatility and simplicity of the templates I can make, how you rarely have to override anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike trying to sort out a book that is full of someone else's overrides, but I can't think of any characteristics of the program that I have disliked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
