SV: Adobe Unveils Technical Communication Suite

[Sean Pollock]

As long as the RH output can be perfected from within Frame (probably best done in xml), it's fine. If you have to output to RH, then make any large changes in RH, and then output to a preferred format (HTML help, JavaHelp, etc.), there's really no advantage.Sean Pollock

However, when working disciplined as of the single-sourcing concept itself, I think the suite-concept provides more overall-functionality than you've ever had -- for a lower price.> > Round-tripping the RH content back to FM would certainly be a really nice-to-have thing, but I wouldn't expect it to be a loss-less thing to implement, and what would it be worth then? I still think that outputting (you call it repurporsing) single sourced documents offer a win-win solution for all parties. One source to maintain and outputting it to many sources is still quite ideal in my view.> > I can't do anything else than welcome the new Techical Suite concept although several improvements still can be made (fortunately)!> > All the best> Jacob Schäffer> Grafikhuset ApS> Paradis Allé 22> Ramløse> 3200 Helsinge> > > > -----Oprindelig meddelelse-----> > Fra: framers-bounces+js=grafikhuset.dk at lists.frameusers.com > > [mailto:framers-bounces+js=grafikhuset.dk at lists.frameusers.com> > ] På vegne af Bill Swallow> > Sendt: 25. september 2007 19:22> > Til: Lin Surasky> > Cc: framers at frameusers.com; framers at omsys.com; > > Frame2Acrobat at egroups.com> > Emne: Re: Adobe Unveils Technical Communication Suite> > > > > > Doesn't seem like much of an integration, and certainly isn't > > single-sourcing given you can't round-trip the RH content > > back to FM.
