What's new in Adobe RoboHelp 7
Immediately upon launching the new Adobe RoboHelp 7, authors will see a fresh new user interface. But it's more than skin deep. This is the most comprehensive overhaul since RoboHelp's inception in 1992. Adobe has worked hard to fulfill its promise to rejuvenate the venerable RoboHelp after the Macromedia acquisition.
A sharp new look is nice, but what will really make technical writers smile is that RoboHelp still retains the author-friendly, easy-to-use features that have made it a worldwide leader.
Because this is such a major release, we can't cover everything extensively in one single article. At the end of this article we will list additional resources.
There are actually two major releases. Many authors will be using RoboHelp 7 along with Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe Captivate and Adobe Acrobat as part of the Adobe Technical Communication Suite. Look for future articles that are specific to RoboHelp's use within the suite.
