Where on Adobe is the info/link to renew my maintenance contract for FrameMaker?

Wed Apr 3 11:11:33 PDT 2013

Thanks for the info!

Sounds like it will be important to do a thorough test to make sure that all the capabilities I need are there ... in whatever tool I end up going with. I won't do this test/study for a few more weeks to month probably though.

For now, just the ultra-fast output file generation makes it easy for me to justify using it for the review copies I send out to people here (prior to final release).

One reason I ditched easyPDF creator and a couple of others is that the bookmarks I happen to like/use all the time weren't part of the deal. I did check in with support on a couple of the tools and they said "no, you can add them later." Not what I wanted to hear!

Okay. I have not looked at the details in easyPDF yet, but as a fast PDF generator, I was quite pleased.

But, I also do not do much editing of the PDF output. I use that file as the way to distribute review copies pretty regularly when working on a document, and having to edit it each time to fix things would be time-consuming. For the final release, about all I do to the PDF is add certain meta-data properties.

Don't know for sure yet - only did an initial look to see if it had any basic fundamental problems. I will do more comprehensive testing later ... with other PDF creation products too.

At $29.95, it does what I need, and [limited] tests using a trial version show it producing perfectly good PDF output files. It also generates _many_ times faster than Acrobat Pro. Last night, I printed a 30+ page FrameMaker document as a test, and the output file was written in under 1 second and was about 30% smaller than the one from Acrobat Pro. The same FrameMaker book took almost a minute to generate a PDF output file using Acrobat Pro.
