Support for XSLT and XML Schema Advances XML Authoring While New Migration Guide and Templates Ease Transition to Structured Content
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Sept. 12, 2005 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe® FrameMaker® 7.2, the latest version of its enterprise-class authoring and publishing software. Adobe FrameMaker, a tool for creating complex documents such as lengthy technical manuals and catalogs, bridges the gap between simple word processing and XML (Extensible Markup Language) authoring and publishing. Unlike word processing software alone, FrameMaker 7.2 allows users to output directly to multiple channels, including print, PDF, HTML and XML.

Simplify the Switch to Structured Documents and XML

Adobe FrameMaker 7.2 makes it easy to migrate from unstructured to structured documents. Companies that structure documents can repurpose content with little effort, reducing the time and expense of initiating new projects, while enabling information to be delivered in new interactive or personalized ways. FrameMaker 7.2 software’s Unstructured to Structured Migration Guide details the considerations and the steps required to adopt a XML workflow. The built-in conversion tools that give structure to documents now retain character and paragraph styles, which speeds the conversion process. The familiar WYSIWYG interface in Adobe FrameMaker also makes authoring and editing XML more approachable than other systems.

“FrameMaker 7.2 delivers the features customers have been requesting most and extends Adobe’s market-leading integration of XML across its publishing and design product lines,” said John Brennan, senior vice president of Corporate Development at Adobe. “FrameMaker software’s advanced capabilities enable forward-looking enterprises — in high-tech industries such as telecommunications, aerospace, semiconductors and information technology — to leverage the power of XML and produce compelling print, web and PDF content.”
