FrameMaker Shared

FrameMaker is a desktop publishing software application developed by Adobe Systems. It was first released in 1986 and since then it has been used by technical writers and documentation developers to create documentation for print and digital media.

With FrameMaker, users can create structured documents with predefined rules, styles, and templates. It supports a range of document formats including HTML, PDF, EPUB, etc.

One of the key features of FrameMaker is its ability to share content among different documents. Users can create reusable components such as variables, graphics, and text snippets which can be accessed from other documents. This helps users save time and effort by avoiding redundancy in their documentation.

FrameMaker also supports single-sourcing which enables users to create a single document that can be published in multiple formats. Content is stored separately from formatting, which makes it easier to update content without changing the formatting of the document.

In addition to its documentation capabilities, FrameMaker offers some advanced features such as conditional text (which enables users to selectively display content based on user-defined conditions), cross-document linking (which allows users to link different documents together), and support for Right-to-Left languages such as Arabic and Hebrew.

FrameMaker is a powerful tool for developers, technical writers, and documentation teams who need to manage large volumes of content with consistency and efficiency.
