| Not true.  FrameMaker will continue to be your cross platform tool of choice

FrameMaker and FrameMaker+SGML _are_ my tools of choice, but without a
UNIX version of Acrobat (Distiller specifically) it is rather annoying
to produce PDF files from them.

I have to print to PS, move the files to a different platform, distill,
and then move them back.  This is NOT in any sense an automatic workflow
process, which is the goal.

Now, if Adobe is intending to offer the full Acrobat for UNIX again,
not merely the reader . . .
