New Release Powers the Creation, Management and Publishing of
Instructional and Technical Content Across Devices
Adobe (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced the 2015 release of Adobe
Technical Communication Suite, the next generation of its complete
single-source authoring and multi-device publishing toolkit for
technical writers, help and policy authors, and instructional
designers. The latest version of the industry-standard, end-to-end
content development toolkit, streamlines the creation of
standards-compliant, bidirectional technical content for global
audiences.
The new release adds comprehensive support for authoring,
translating and publishing content in right-to-left languages, such
as Arabic and Hebrew, and enables authors to help people find
relevant content faster through advanced personalization. It also
expands content adoption by seamlessly delivering it across
tablets, smartphones, e-readers, the Web, desktops and print
through single-click publishing. Output formats include responsive
HTML5, e-book and native mobile apps.
All major components of Adobe Technical Communication Suite were
updated, including:
- Adobe FrameMaker, a powerful authoring
and publishing solution now complete with native support for
right-to-left languages, a simplified form-based XML authoring
experience, smoother Word import and out-of-the-box mobile
publishing.
- Adobe RoboHelp, a user-friendly
authoring and mobile publishing solution that now leverages dynamic
content filters to deliver relevant information faster to end
users, and now also supports 17 different output formats to make
publishing truly device-agnostic.
- Adobe Captivate 8, Adobe Presenter 10
and the addition of Adobe Acrobat Pro DC round out the suite, now
integrating powerful e-learning and ‘how to’ demo creation, dynamic
video presentation and unmatched PDF functionalities.
“Delivering high-quality, high-impact help content anywhere,
anytime and on any device is an absolute imperative for today’s
organizations to achieve competitive differentiation,” said Raman
Nagpal, vice president, Print and Publishing at Adobe. “This
release of our technical communication tools provides everything
that content development professionals need to efficiently create,
manage and publish consumable, actionable, socially-enabled and
contextually relevant help content for any device or platform.”
With the latest release of its specialist XML editing tool,
Adobe FrameMaker XML Author, Adobe now offers a streamlined
authoring and publishing solution that is simple enough for the
occasional contributor or subject matter expert (SME), yet powerful
enough for the experienced author. Now SMEs and casual authors can
take advantage of an easy, form-like authoring experience to
confidently create valid XML without worrying about the
complexities of XML programming. The familiar FrameMaker user
interface of Adobe FrameMaker XML Author also allows SMEs to easily
collaborate in-context, on mobile devices and even while content
authoring is going on, thus accelerating review and approval
cycles.
Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server, an enterprise software
solution for automated multichannel publishing, completes this
latest release. Users can now access publishing services remotely,
manage them with a comprehensive dashboard and publish to EPUB 3,
KF8, MOBI, PDF, native mobile apps, WebHelp, CHM and other
formats.
Partner/Customer Quotes
“The new slogan for Adobe FrameMaker should be, ‘It pays for
itself!’ I help organizations improve the reach of their tech comm,
to reduce cost and effort, and FrameMaker makes big strides in both
these areas. Adobe has enhanced the Responsive HTML5 output, and
now directly produces iOS and Android apps, with no additional
software needed. The new release of FrameMaker now reduces the cost
of localization by supporting RTL languages. Combined with a
customizable Microsoft Word import function, FrameMaker now reaches
into entirely new markets.” — Matt Sullivan, Founder, Tech Comm
Tools
“There is a new innovative way to increase findability and
personalize end-user content in the new release of Adobe RoboHelp.
Dynamic Content Filtering lets authors create content categories
such as, Roles, Locations, Products, etc., that allow the end user
to ‘self-select’ the content they want to locate. This personalized
content is then delivered in topics, as well as ‘on the fly’ from
the Table of Contents, Index and even the Search results.” — John
Daigle, Independent Adobe Certified RoboHelp and Captivate
Instructor, Owner of Evergreen Online Learning, LLC
“The 2015 release of Adobe Technical Communication Suite is
packed full with new features, usability enhancements, and
revolutionary developments. Updates include full and best-in-class
support for Right-To-Left languages, DITA 1.3 support, simplified
XML authoring, and native apps publishing for iOS and Android right
out of the box—it’s as easy as 1-2-3. There’s also an endless list
of user interface enhancements. It’s hard to decide which is the
best reason for upgrading.” — Stefan Gentz, CEO of TRACOM
