"At last, an XML editor with 100 percent DITA support out of the box that's easily customizable and is also a complete publishing solution. Any other major DITA editor requires a costly additional print server purchase."

“Adobe FrameMaker 8 is poised to be the best release of FrameMaker that Adobe has produced. By incorporating features that users have asked for (year after year), Adobe has finally jumped ahead in showing us that this is a robust, viable and fully supported product. Full support for DITA and enhanced XML support in general makes the product one of the best XML publishing tools on the market. Add to that new features such as change tracking, dramatically enhanced support for conditional content, proper support of Unicode and the integration with technology like Acrobat 3D puts it into a league of its own."

“Adobe Systems' announcement of FrameMaker 8 should put to rest, once and for all, the rumours of its demise. The ongoing development to include full support for DITA, to update the application to support Unicode and the integration with other key technologies such as Acrobat 3D, show the world that new life has been given to this industry-leading so ware tool. Initial response from people who have seen it demonstrated (at the STC conference in Minneapolis where hundreds broke out in applause or at small gatherings where grins stretched from ear to ear) has been overwhelmingly positive and Adobe is to be thanked for the ongoing support of such a leader in the technical publishing field.”
