<br><tt><font size=2>You can now create all those from FM12 directly; however,
the learning curve will be a bit of a shock - the UI changed completely
starting in FM9. I think at 7.2 you're over the Unicode barrier already
so fonts may or may not be an issue. Some finer control over the publishing
(generating) of help outputs can be done using the Tech Comm Suite (which
includes RH, FM, Acrobat Pro & Captivate), but may not be necessary
in your case. Personally, I'd download a trial copy of TCS5 and try it
out on a non-production machine with copies of your FM7.2 content &
play around with it for the 30 days of the trial.<br>

<br>
Hi,<br>
<br>
<br>
At the moment we are using FrameMaker 7.2 and ePublisher Pro version 9.2
to create PDF files, and a collections of help files which are mostly
html, with 2 or 3 .chm files<br>
<br>
The applications mostly run on Internet Explorer (and the .chm files are
for the 2 that are not over IE).<br>
<br>
I would like to upgrade our applications as they do not really run on my
current operating system and because I want to also produce more modern
output.<br>
<br>
<br>
I need to make PDF, ePub, Responsive html and .chm.<br>
<br>
What do you all recommend?<br>
Is FrameMaker 12 enough to use stand alone?<br>
<br>
Do I need ePublisher Pro or RoboHelp?<br>
<br>
How would I go about importing my Frame 7.2 files into Frame 12.<br>
Does it support them or would I need to save as MIF and then open the MIF
files.<br>
I have quite a lot of user guides.<br>
<br>
To what extent will FrameMaker let me change the design?<br>
<br>
What is the learning curve from 7.2 to 12?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
<br>
<br>
