Adobe announces FM9 and Tech Comm Suite 2

[Kelly McDaniel]

That there is so much confusion about a couple of features that
technical writing professionals express an interest in speaks (deeper)
to what RickQ wrote; that these new releases should be featured on the
Adobe web site. Further, that these features should be described in
language that the intended audience finds unambiguous...regards, Kelly.

My understanding of the review feature was that the reviewers only need
the free Acrobat 9 reader. But maybe we would need the pro extended
version of Acrobat along with FM 9 to get the full functionality? That
would be disappointing.

I notice that TCS 2.0 includes a version of Acrobat called Acrobat 9.0
Pro Extended, and I suspect that this is the "special sauce" that makes
the new PDF workflow work. So I suspect that the real question is
whether that version of Acrobat will be available as a standalone
product, as well as whether it hooks into the standalone version of
FrameMaker 9.0.
