Question

I have been a frame user since fm2015.  It is like slow and steady . But recently for some years in the stc conferences and talks with the adobe management it seems that they are going to close down or replace FM. RH ???is it a complimentary or a competitor product for FM. Seems like in-house competition with all the same features!!!!!. I am so confused. Same for The new showy web editor for DITA which was demoed . There were shows for dita, RH but nothing for FM. Is adobe planning to discontinue FM ? Is there a plan to migrate customers from FM to Rh. I have tried asking this in the conferences so many times  but got no satisfactory answer. Maybe somebody here can answer and resolve my dilemma 

thanks

Luis

see: False Rumor: FrameMaker will no longer be supported from Adobe

Note that an update to FM2019 was just released today, the dev team is responding to feature requests, and another major release seems likely this year or next.

It is not true and infact, FM2019 just had its update 5 released and work is underway on the next release of Adobe FrameMaker.

 

XML documentation for Adobe Experience Manager is a cloud based DITA CCMS solution where as FrameMaker is a desktop based authoring and publishing tool. Both work seamlessly together and provide DITA authoring experience for different authoring audiences and scenarios. Many organizations are using both together to leverage WYSIWYG PDF strengths of FrameMaker and advantages of a CCMS system as well. In case you would like to learn more, please feel free to drop in an email to techcomm@adobe.com 

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks

Don't know where you're getting this from, but it's not true - development is progressing on both products - they are both complimentary to each other and address different authoring audiences.
