Adobe FrameMaker is probably the single most widely-used software by technical writers. It's more complex than Microsoft Word, but many tech writers find its features more powerful and stable, especially for very long documents. Frame also is well-suited for single-sourcing, where you write the content once and publish it to different destinations using conditions to define which parts go with which version. These advanced features can help you achieve what you want - if you know how to use them.

Books on Adobe FrameMaker

Here are current top-selling books, all about Adobe FrameMaker.


1.		Adobe FrameMaker 9 Classroom in a Book from Adobe Press Price: $29.43 Customer Review: So, I bought this book because it was produced by the software author and I needed a quick primer. Wow! How embarassing for Adobe. Whoever worked on this at Adobe should be fired. There are learning-inhibiting typos at about every 10th page. Chapter 11 has entire files missing that are vital to the... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		XML and FrameMaker from Apress Price: $37.99 Customer Review: I had been trying to get my hands around Structured FrameMaker for quite some time when I purchased this manual. I am about two-thirds finished with it and I am now successfully creating XML files from FrameMaker. This manual fills in many holes that I couldn't figure out from the Adobe... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 Classroom in a Book from Adobe Press Price: $14.36 Customer Review: 9 Gold Stars. Explains everything well, but this is a very packed-with-info book. A little overwhelming.	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		Publishing Fundamentals: Unstructured FrameMaker 8 from Scriptorium Press Price: $19.99 Customer Review: This book is an excellent step-by-step guide to FrameMaker 8. It begins by assuming that you know almost nothing about FrameMaker 8 and, in easily digestible chunks, takes you from the basics to using all the features of the unstructured version of FrameMaker 8.

5.		FrameMaker(R) 7: The Complete Reference from McGraw-Hill Osborne Media Customer Review: If you have used FrameMaker and understand it enough to consider yourself functional, then you need this book. I paid $200 for my copy and that's a huge premium from the original price. Is it worth it? You bet. It's easy to understand for the intermediate user and takes you all the way from Houston... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Learning Adobe Framemaker: The Official Guide to Adobe Framemaker from Adobe Pr Customer Review: Adobe FrameMaker is a powerful tool for putting together a book or a lengthy document where the typical word processing software falls short. Learning FrameMaker, however, proved to be no easy task, because of its many features. Written by the people at Adobe who gave us FrameMaker the software,... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

8.		Adobe FrameMaker 6.0 Classroom in a Book from Pearson Education Price: $6.96 Customer Review: You'd expect a book about Framemaker, a leading application of tech writers, to be superbly laid out, precise, and clear. This book definitely is. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. And as a result, I have gotten "up to speed" with Framemaker basics in a few weekends. One major caveat:... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		FrameMaker 6: Beyond the Basics from Waite Group Press Price: $21.50 Customer Review: This is not an advanced book, nor is the indexing comprehensive. I would expect that a "power user" would know how to index better. If you attempt to work with multiple dictionaries in FM and then find anything on it within the index - no can do. Writing style is extremely elementary and insulting... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

12.		Advanced FrameMaker from Tips Technical Pub. Customer Review: I would recommend O'Keefe's "The Complete Reference, Framemaker 7" instead in almost all areas. This book suffers from disorganization common in multi authored books. Its sections on structured FM offer little more than is in the pdf documents that come with FM. I was hoping for clever tricks... more info	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		The Masters Series: FrameMaker 6 from Twelfth Night Books Price: $51.50 Customer Review: I was a self taught FrameMaker user. This book polished my skills and made the entire process more enjoyable.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

15.		FrameMaker 5.5.6 for Dummies from John Wiley & Sons Inc (Computers) Price: $29.80 Customer Review: I've read some of the previous reviews and couldn't believe that they were not 5's across the board. Several years ago, I had to learn Framemaker very quickly. This book made that possible. Since that time, I've used Framemaker on a day-to-day basis and I still consider _FM_5.5.6_for_Dummies_ to be... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Framemaker 4 for Windows (Visual QuickStart Guide) from Peachpit Press Price: $23.97 Customer Review: This book is much easier to navigate than the FrameMaker manual that comes with the software. Though about one third the length of the manual, I was able to find a couple of features and procedures in the PeachPit boook that I was unable to find in Adobe's own manual. I recommend all of the PeachPit... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.		FrameMaker(R) to HTML: Single-Source Solution for Paper and Web from Addison-Wesley Professional Price: $6.11 Customer Review: Having spent the past three years working in Framemaker, and never having written in HTML, this book served me, at least, as an introduction to HTML for Framemaker-users. The first 80% of the book was a bit laboured. Largely, it is preaching to the converted (Yes, performing edits on one source... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information
