first impressions of FrameMaker 8

[Alison Carrico]

In my business (document/software translation/localization), the Unicode
support alone is worth the price of admission several times over. I was
as giddy as a schoolgirl when I printed a Russian doc to PDF & all the
bookmarks came out perfectly.  I've been using TimeSavers in 7.1 and,
while it is a huge help, there are characters in several languages that
do not convert correctly, requiring tedious copy/pasting to correct.
I'm working with the trial version until Purchasing gets the upgrade
ordered, and we'll recommend upgrading to several of our clients.  

BUT... it really is disappointing to see relatively few real
innovations. IMO, a lot of the new features warrant only an "It's about
time", not "Wow, cool!"  Makes me wonder what the Frame engineers at
Adobe have been doing for the umpteen years between 7.2 & this version.

I've posted an overview of FrameMaker 8 with my impressions here:

Please feel free to comment on the blog or in this forum. The review
itself is too long to post to the list in its entirety (and it has
screen shots and PDF links).
