Adobe’s New Technical Communication Suite

Today Adobe announced the release of the new Technical Communication Suite, a bundle that includes the following programs:

  • FrameMaker 8
  • RoboHelp 7
  • Captivate 3
  • Acrobat 3D Version 8

The press release touts a “major upgrade to RoboHelp”, but apart from that, it remains to be seen how useful the new bundling scheme will prove as many of those with a need for software like this certainly already own one or more of the tools in the package.

DITA-OT Plug-in for FrameMaker 8

The FrameMaker 8 Plug-in for DITA Open Toolkit is now available from Adobe.

The package restores the Generate Output command that was introduced with the FrameMaker 7.2 Application Pack for DITA and unfortunately missing from the released version of FrameMaker 8.
