FrameMaker solutions for government

Government publishers need to create complex, dense, and often very detailed content that must be highly organized and controlled. Government documentation consists of more than text; it also includes procedures, specifications, and reference materials, tables of contents, lists of figures, tables, equations, running headers and footers with text and page numbers, and indexes.

Because information published by governments serves a diverse audience and wide range of purposes, the publishing process presents special challenges. Government publishing groups must integrate information from a diverse array of sources, manage large numbers of documents of various types, distribute documents in a variety of forms, distribute new and updated information in a timely fashion, and provide content that is accessible to everyone.

An information publishing solution based on Adobe® FrameMaker® 8 software or Adobe FrameMaker Server 8 software offers a template-driven publishing model. The benefits for government publishing include: a full-featured authoring tool for creating long, complex documents; server-based publishing capabilities; powerful single-sourcing support; and integration with content management systems, allowing efficient reuse and repurposing of content.
