Register now, on our reservation page.

Topic:

Working with FrameMaker, RoboHelp, and Captivate in Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.5

In this session, Dustin Vaughn will focus on leveraging the seamless integration amongst FrameMaker 10, RoboHelp 9, and Captivate 5.5 to easily and rapidly develop rich, interactive, and standards-compliant content.

Dustin will also demonstrate what is new in Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.5, and how it can help you become more creative and productive. For example, he will demonstrate how to publish an ePub file from FrameMaker using RoboHelp to create a file suitable for viewing on a tablet device. And he will be available to answer other questions about Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.5, which also includes Adobe Photoshop CS5 and Adobe Acrobat X Pro.
