Question

FarmeMaker and SDL AUthor Assistant

I just attended a webinar on SDL's Author Assistant (a content Management software)that looks like a good solution to some of my technical manual issues regarding consistency with terminology and general verbiage. It is supposed to be compatible with FrameMaker. We are currently using InDesign and are open to changing to Framemaker if this software is everything we hope it is.

Is anyone out there using this software with Framemaker for printed documents? I would be interested to know how it is going and anything I should "watch out" for.

Karen

Hi,

FrameMaker will only produce RGB output for printing. Frame 9.0 has the ability to produce CMYK pdf, but it is still buggy, and you will have to wait until the bugfix comes.

There are also some issues with printermarks and "crop box/Art box" information. If you use printermarks, you will have to manually position the pages in your page output program. (CTP setter)
