Subject:Frame to PDF From:Jim McAward <jimmc -at- CHYRON -dot- COM> Date:Thu, 3 Dec 1998 11:02:20 -0500
J.L.,
I've used Frame for about 4 years, and for the past three of those years
I've been publishing both paper and PDF versions of our handbooks for
distribution on our public Web site.
Frame is a cool program for working with large documents - IMHO there's
nothing better on the market, period. And, for making PDFs, there's a
more-or-less seamless method for conversion that makes selected paragraph
formats into bookmarks, and all TOC/Index and cross-refs into hyperlinks.
Since Adobe's controlled Frame since v5, this integration between Frame and
Acrobat makes sense.
I love it. Our customers love it. My bosses love me.
Any questions?
Take care,
Jim.

We're currently evaluating new tools, and
we're wondering how FrameMaker does at converting
files to PDF.
