<font face="Verdana">Hi Kat...<br>
<br>
There's absolutely no reason you can't create PDFs and JavaHelp
from DITA authored in FM10. Whether DITA is right for you is a
completely different issue. Lots of people are happily using DITA
with FM10 and producing various types of output. <br>
<br>
I'm not sure if you're questioning using FM10 with DITA or the use
of DITA at all. <br>
<br>
If PDF is one of your deliverables, then FM(whatever version) is
certainly an ideal choice for authoring/publishing tools. To get
JavaHelp from DITA, you can use any number of tools .. RoboHelp,
Flare, or the DITA-OT .. the fact that you're using FM to author
the DITA files has no bearing on the tool you use to generate the
output in this case.<br>
<br>
If you're looking for more opinions on FrameMaker and DITA, you
might try posting to the framemaker-dita Yahoo group.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am currently evaluating a number of tech auth apps required to
produce PDF and context-sensitive Javahelp through single
sourcing. Whilst a very wise person has advised to disregard DITA,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience of deploying this
option with Framemaker 10? <br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Kat <br>
