RE: Adobe rolls out FM 6

[Cas Tuyn <Cas.Tuyn@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I read through all the web info about FM 6, and noticed:

 - WWP added. Good! although we already paid for it.
 - XML export. Just in Time.
 - crossbook find and spell. Finally!
 - Still no PDF import on UNIX (Sun in my case). Whadda shame!
 - No FM6 on Linux (yet?)

Maybe we should start a tread on the mailing lists that 
Adobe Acrobat might be discontinued, as it is (already!) 
discontinued on UNIX from version 3, and in the latest 
version (6) of FrameMaker, Adobe did not see the need to
add import-and-display-PDF.

I know that UNIX has display-PS, but in cross-platform 
environments it would be Sooo handy to have all the image
formats supported on ALL the platforms.

Adding WWP and XML got me thinking. Is there a new engine to 
handle the XML export that is way better than the Frame-HTML
export? If so why can that not do HTML too, which means there 
is no need for the WWP? 

I guess we have to wait for the real thing to find out. Maybe Mark
can pull some strings to add PDF import to UNIX and Linux in the
meantime...

	Kind regards,
