[Framers] Can Frame 15 be used so I can eliminate ePublisher?

[Caroline Tabach]

I did this, moved to Frame 2015 and left ePublisher.

I agree with the suggestion to download the evaluation version and see if you can do this.

I got support from Adobe (via mailing lists), and this list, in order to achieve the results I wanted

Those features all exist in FrameMaker 2015 (version 13). You can get a 30-day trial and see for yourself whether it works well enough.

Have you used FrameMaker 9 or later? They put a weird UI layer on top that's in many ways inferior to versions 8 and earlier. If you make heavy use of keyboard shortcuts, you might be happier sticking with 7.2.
