Product Details

Top Features Bidirectional language support [NEW]

Enjoy support for RTL languages, Arabic and Hebrew, also. Work with RTL and left-to-right (LTR) content in the same document or book. Control the direction of objects such as paras and tables using the new direction property. Benefit from language-specific features such as ligature and diacritic support.

Bidirectional content flipping [NEW]

Easily work with documents translated into Arabic or Hebrew. Reduce DTP work with the new direction property. Set up the document and flip it—all inherited objects will also change direction. Optionally, flip individual objects, such as paras, tables, images, lists, and neutral characters such as parenthesis.

Bidirectional language publishing [NEW]

Publish documents with bidirectional content, including XML/DITA content, from within FrameMaker (2015 release) in multiple formats: PDF, HTML5, WebHelp, CHM, EPUB, KF8, MOBI, and mobile apps. Optionally flip the HTML5 layout or use the new RTL WebHelp skin so that the navigation pane appears on the right for RTL content.

Out-of-the-box multichannel, multidevice publishing [EXISTING]

Deliver your content to multiple channels, mobile devices and formats, including mobile apps, from within FrameMaker. Publish to popular output formats, like HTML5, WebHelp, EPUB, KF8, MOBI, PDF, and CHM with a single click. Define settings once and share them organization-wide.

Mobile app output [NEW]

Ensure wider distribution and consumption of content with a simplified mobile app generation workflow and native integration with Adobe PhoneGap Build*. Easily publish your content as mobile apps for iOS and Android with just one click.

*Generating apps with PhoneGap Build requires purchasing a PhoneGap Build license.

New HTML5 layout [NEW]

Deliver a personalized content consumption experience. Configure search to appear on the content or topic panes, and show context and breadcrumbs in the results. Easily show or hide widgets, such as glossary and TOC. Convert the layout to right-to-left languages just by changing one property.

Custom fonts in EPUB files [NEW]

Embed custom fonts in your EPUB files and ensure that your users see text exactly as you intended, whether or not they have the font installed on their device.

Note: You must have distribution rights for the embedded font.

Attractive customizable WebHelp skins [NEW]

Give your WebHelp content a new look by changing its skin. Choose from a wide variety of skins from the WebHelp gallery. Customize your WebHelp skins by changing button labels, fonts, background color, search boxes, and more.

Personalized dynamic content [NEW]

Empower users to find relevant content faster in the document, TOC, index, and glossary. Leverage existing conditional tags and expressions to enable end users to dynamically filter content in the final HTML5 output, thereby delivering personalized help experiences.

Smoother import of Microsoft Word files [ENHANCED]

Map styles while importing Word documents into FrameMaker, or create new ones automatically from the imported styles. Bring in Word formatting and inline Word styles. Configure settings just once and reuse them across your Word documents.

Conditional table columns [NEW]

Now make columns conditional, and show or hide columns based on conditions, just as you do with rows.

Improved usability in tables [ENHANCED]

Work more efficiently in tables. Navigate the table cells using the arrow keys. Add a row by pressing TAB in the bottom right cell. Drag and drop rows and columns.

Automatic insertion of table continuation variables [NEW]

Handle large, multipage tables more easily with table continuation and table sheet variables that you can insert when adding a table. You can also apply these variables to existing tables and to several tables at one time.

More out-of-the-box table styles [ENHANCED]

Enhance your tables and make them more readable with a wide range of out-of-the-box Table styles. Apply shading to table cells and fill them with solid colors.

Miniature Table of Contents (mini TOC) [NEW]

Make long documents more readable and easier to navigate with mini TOCs. Just select the styles to generate the mini TOC, insert and format it as you wish, and update with a single click. Mini TOCs will appear in all supported output formats.

Enhanced visual conditional indicators [ENHANCED]

Easily identify which conditions have been applied to various types of content, such as images, tables, graphics, and anchored frames, with consistent formatting. Use conditional tag formatting rules to easily identify conditional content in your document.

Conditional text at the book level [ENHANCED]

Eliminate the tedium of applying conditions or expressions to individual chapters in books by applying them to the entire book directly while updating the book in the same operation.

Packager [NEW]

Share projects easily with colleagues, subject matter experts, and translators. Create a self-contained package of your documents, books or DITA maps. The packager includes all dependent files, such as referenced files and images, and configuration files.

Enhanced pod support [ENHANCED]

Work more efficiently with pods. Colored boundaries allow you to quickly identify pods. Eliminate searching for pods because they open in the same location that you closed them. Specify colors using integer RGB values instead of percentages in the color definition pod.

Smart filters in pods [NEW] Eliminate endless scrolling through long lists in pods with smart filtering. Easily find the relevant item in the paragraph, character, and table designers by typing in the text box. The list dynamically filters content to display relevant options.
