What are Adobe’s plans for the future of FrameMaker software?

Adobe continues to invest in FrameMaker, the market leader in technical communications and structured authoring. Version 7.2 was introduced in the fourth quarter of 2005, and a major new version is currently being developed.

What new features will be added to FrameMaker?

Adobe has not announced the feature list for the next version of FrameMaker. However, it intends to build on existing product strengths and respond to the most important new trends in technical communications, including increased globalization and localization of technical content, increased use of structured content and XML (and the increased importance of standards such as DITA), and increased integration of rich media, such as 3D content and animation.

When will the next version of FrameMaker be available?

Adobe has not published the time frame for the next release of FrameMaker software and generally does not disclose details of new releases more than 30 days before a product is expected to ship. However, our current assumption is that the next major release of FrameMaker will be in the first half of 2007.

Sounds for me like version 8.0 (“major new version”) will come in the first half 2007 with Unicode support (finally!), better integrated DITA support (check the free DITA Beta plug-in for a first taste), and Acrobat 3D support.

Cheers,
