FrameMaker, which is at the core of the Adobe Technical Communication Suite, has long been the gold standard for writing, illustrating, and laying out technical documentation in print. With new features like support for rich media objects and powerful PDF export, FrameMaker excels at authoring online documents as well.
This Classroom in a Book (a revision of the successful FrameMaker 7 Classroom in a Book) begins with a survey of the fundamentals of FrameMaker 9: styling paragraphs, placing graphics, creating tables, adding captions, cross-references, and footnotes. Later chapters cover long-document features, such as tables of contents and indexes. Preparing content for output to print or to screen (PDF or HTML), working with Unicode (for handling foreign languages), and using DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) to structure documents using XML, round out the coverage.

Adobe really blew it with this one, By

This review is from: Adobe FrameMaker 9 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
I've been recommending the Classroom in a Book for FrameMaker for years. I use it to teach my FrameMaker classes. This latest version is a big disappointment. The exercises are incomplete and many do not work as described. It seems that it was not tested/edited at all. The files on the cd seem to have been copied after doing some or all or a previous iteration of an exercise - see the table exercise in Chapter 8.I'm trying to figure out how to use the Frame 7 book to teach Frame 9. Those exercise were complete and instructional. I don't think that I could learn Frame from this new book if I didn't already know how Frame works.

Did Adobe even proof this book?, By

This review is from: Adobe FrameMaker 9 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
So, I bought this book because it was produced by the software author and I needed a quick primer. Wow! How embarassing for Adobe. Whoever worked on this at Adobe should be fired. There are learning-inhibiting typos at about every 10th page. Chapter 11 has entire files missing that are vital to the lesson -- making the chapter fairly impossible to follow with any level of clarity. I give the the book 3 stars, just because there's nothing else out there to compete -- and maybe that's the problem. Adobe's probably selling plenty of these, thank you very much, because they are the only company qualified to produce this text. That's no excuse however, for such an error-ridden tome -- especially considering their audience is technical writers. What, Adobe couldn't spare a few bucks to hire a tech writer proofreader? And over the past several months they couldn't get their act together fast enough to produce a revised version without all the errors? Give me a break. Adobe, this...

Adobe released this book?, By Ken Denver (littleton, co United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Adobe FrameMaker 9 Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
Unfortunately, this seems to be the only book available on FrameMaker 9. I find it hard to believe that Adobe published a book with so many errors. I was going to contact Adobe but I didn't know where to start in trying to point out the mistakes. I really don't want to work as a free editor for Adobe. The only positive I can say about this book is that for someone who had no background in FM, it got me started in understanding the power of the software. I really wish they had put more time and energy into creating a book that is worthy of the Adobe name.
