Choose from out-of-the-box layouts for desktop, iPhone#, iPad#, Kindle Fire, and more, or define custom layouts and map them to screen profiles.

Automatic screen-based content optimization
Allow users to optimize each screen profile based on the size of the output screen by converting auto-size or text-only pop-ups to hyperlinks, changing absolute image and table sizes to relative sizes. Enable the pinch-to-zoom feature, and replace SWF content with Adobe Captivate® HTML5 files on iOS devices.

Publishing DITA maps to books

Professional print output
Create high-quality print output using print-ready CMYK PDFs.
Superior support for structured content
Enjoy comprehensive support for structured content. Easily publish XML/DITA content authored in Adobe FrameMaker 11* to professional looking output, including composite docs and flat books with FrameMaker components. Map XML and SGML elements to document elements such as tables. Use a context-sensitive styling language for sophisticated formatting.
Powerful template-based publishing solution

Increase enterprise productivity
Improve overall productivity with pre-scheduled publish commands, automated post-publish renaming or archival, customizable logging, Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit, and shared APIs. Work with a wide range of structured and unstructured input formats and rich media files.
Server-based publishing
Schedule your publication tasks to be automatically executed once, daily, weekly, or monthly.
Shareable publishing task configuration
Reuse settings to set up similar publishing tasks. For example, if you have created a task to output PDF, multiscreen HTML5, WebHelp, and eBook (EPUB 3, Kindle Format 8), formats from a set of source documents, you can edit this task to create a task for other source types.
Post-publish commands
Automatically run post-publish system commands or batch files. Use post-publish commands to automatically rename, move, or archive output files, especially when running regular builds so that subsequent builds do not overwrite earlier output files.
Command-line execution of builds
Invoke tasks and schedules created in FrameMaker Publishing Server from the Windows command line.
Extensive logging
Take advantage of extensive logging for all processes in publication tasks to comprehensively report all tasks executed by FrameMaker Publishing Server. You can customize the level of logging and the parameters to be logged.

Work with XML, SGML, Maker Interchange Format (MIF), native Adobe FrameMaker, Office Filter files, and DITA files. Seamlessly import JPEG, GIF, PDF, CGM, and SWF files, and more.
Scripting support for automation
Perform custom processing on the input files in prepublication state. Create scripts with Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit to automate publication tasks, including prepublication tasks such as applying conditional text for single-sourced publication tasks.
Integration with Windows Task Scheduler
Use Windows Task Scheduler to view, edit, and manage scheduled publication tasks.
