New Technical Communications suite brings rich media to dry documentation
Adobe has released a new version of a suite aimed at authors and designers of
manuals and interactive technical documentation.
Adobe Technical Communications Suite 2 now includes Photoshop CS4 for tight
integration of image processing into workflows.
Central to the package is the Framemaker 9 publishing module, which has been
revamped with a user interface similar to Adobe Creative Suite 4.
Books created under Framemaker 4 now support XML, including Dita 1.1 and 1.2
formats. It can export and import to Adobe Acrobat 9 Extended, which is also
included in the suite. This allows documents to be shared and reviewed easily,
without a dedicated server, via
the
Acrobat site. Other modules in the suite include Captivate 4 for creating
Flash-based simulations and software demos, and Robohelp 8 for authoring help
files. The latter supports RSS widgets and RSS feeds on Feedzilla.com
