FM v. RoboHelp

[Gagne, Bernard (Bolton)]

In all of this, one thought occurred to me and it regards the upcoming
release of Frame 8 later this year.
Since RoboHelp is now an Adobe product, what are the odds Adobe will
drop WebWorks and adopt RH as the chosen output method for CHM with
FrameMaker? It would seem an ideal solution, with Flare nipping at their
heels.
Did I just add more fuel to the fire?

You could really stir the pot by throwing ePublisher in the mix as a
single-sourcing solution. <g>   There's an import utility available for
ePublisher that can take any RH project and convert it to MIF, retaining
links and mapping formats as you determine in the interface. Depending
on the size of the RH project and whether there are multiple RH projects
to merge into a single-source ePub project with multiple
versions/translations/localization as output, it could take hours or a
few weeks to complete... BUT it would be a one-time hit. Then set it up
with AutoMap to create the PDFs in sequence whenever you'd like (even
while you're asleep). Just food for thought...conceding, of course, that
Mif2Go is more cost-effective.

didn't mention that there are 4  writers on the team who ARE using RH to
create content, and not only aren't  complaining, but one of them will
fight as hard to keep RH as I will to keep FM.  We're in different
countries, with an international audience, so it's divided as  to what
our customers want. Which is why I think FM is perfect: We can delliver
BOTH PDF and CHM easily.
  
 I guess I just need to keep repeating  that...
