Owner,
Carmen Publishing Inc.

“Adobe FrameMaker lends itself to automation. I can use the built-in ExtendScript scripting language to easily automate repetitive tasks and create utilities for additional functionality. I have written more than 6,600 scripts for FrameMaker over the last dozen years, and I am still amazed at how FrameMaker can be automated for technical publication workflows of all kinds.”

“Adobe FrameMaker has been the gold standard for creating technical documentation for decades. The functionality and features in the software are unrivaled if you are creating large-scale documentation in any arena. Likewise, Adobe FrameMaker is a logical choice for organizations that need to take advantage of single-sourcing, reuse, and structured authoring tools.”

Bernard Aschwanden

CEO, Publishing Smarter

“For the planning, creation, review, publishing, and distribution of content for technical communications there are few tools that can stand toe-to-toe with Adobe FrameMaker and deliver the same productivity gains, content reuse, design benefits, and other non-tangibles that are part of my every day work life.”

JoAnn Hackos

President, Comtech Services Inc

“Adobe FrameMaker offers stability to organizations that want to help ensure that their content and formatting standards are followed by technical writers. Templates in Microsoft Word are too often inadvertently corrupted by writers. Content management and reuse is much better handled when working with FrameMaker XML mode."”
