Paul Findon, organizer of the [url=fm4osx.org]FrameMaker for Mac OS X Petition[/url] says that currently there are over 3,200 signatures and that the updated petition is significant for Mac FrameMaker users because of the Intel Macs.
"Apparently, after putting all of its efforts into Acrobat and Creative Suite for the last few years, Adobe has reevaluated its portfolio and is reinvesting in FrameMaker," he adds. "The first evidence of this was the September release of FrameMaker 7.2 for Windows and Solaris. Adobe has also said that if the market for Mac FrameMaker changes and there's an opportunity, it will respond. In other words, if enough people let Adobe know that they want FrameMaker for Mac OS X, they'll make it."
He adds that Apple is still using Classic (Mac OS 9) and FrameMaker 6.0 to produce its own user guides and "I know that its technical writers want FrameMaker for Mac OS X just as much as we do." "Even Adobe is still using it," he adds.
