Adobe FrameMaker is a versatile desktop publishing application tailored for the creation and management of extensive, intricate documents, including those with structured formats. Originally developed by Frame Technology Corporation, it was acquired by Adobe in 1995. The 2020 online iterations of FrameMaker facilitate the publishing of multilingual technical materials across various platforms, including print, web, mobile, and desktop, allowing users to integrate both structured and unstructured content seamlessly within a single document.
The latest version leverages a new 64-bit architecture that improves performance and efficiency, particularly when handling lengthy XML and non-XML files. Enhancements made since the 2019 release allow for quicker access and publication of HTML5 and PDF outputs. Significant advancements in image processing through the incorporation of Adobe’s technologies enable superior handling of various image formats. Additionally, the updated PDF engine mirrors the capabilities found in other Adobe Creative Cloud applications, including support for password protection and accessible PDFs, while introducing features designed to streamline user interaction and visual clarity.
