This conference is about users. It is about the technical needs that are growing as structured documentation makes major inroads. By combining the ideas of both the technical sides of DITA and XML with the publishing needs of technical communicators that are met by Adobe systems, we feel that this conference provides 2 focused technical days followed by 2 focused publishing and communications days. Monday and Tuesday include technical presentations on DITA and XML, technologies that are storming the gates of technical communications.

In the FrameMaker-to-Acrobat Advanced Techniques Seminar you will learn a multitude of undocumented techniques, creative solutions and tips and tricks for defining all Acrobat features in the FrameMaker source file so that they are automatically and consistently reproduced in the PDF file when the source is updated.

Six 1/2 day sessions

The FrameMaker-to-Acrobat Advanced Techniques workshop is designed for users with good working knowledge of FrameMaker and Acrobat, who would like to create and maintain high-quality, interactive Acrobat PDF files. The usual procedure for creating such files - and the only one referred to in the FrameMaker and Acrobat manuals - is to use Acrobat to add all interactivity/settings over and above the links created automatically by FrameMaker.

Efficient handling of common table tasks, such as pagination of multi-page tables, better ruling/shading, adjusting dimensions and much more.

Paragraph format overrides can make document updates cumbersome and cause the document layout to lose consistency. Demonstrates how overrides are created (intentionally or unintentionally), how to avoid them, and how to identify and fix existing overrides.

The 2008 Fall Summit "The Content Lifecycle" will be held at the The Westin Copley Place in Boston on December 2, 2008 in conjunction with the Gilbane conference "Where Content Management Meets Social Media".
