Adobe announces FM9 and Tech Comm Suite 2

[Art Campbell]

Clint,

Depending on how you slice and dice it, there are at least several levels of
"review" features.

At the basic level, you can generate a PDF from Acrobat to which reviewers
can add comments, using Reader. That's been in place for several years and
doesn't have anything to do with Frame. It's an Acrobat feature and tool.

New in Tech Comm Suite 2 is FrameMaker 9's ability to read in the comments
from the "reviewed" Acrobat file and to manage them in Frame rather than in
Acrobat.
