Technical writers use Adobe FrameMaker to write, manage, and publish technical documentation. FrameMaker allows writers to create structured and unstructured documents and publish those documents in a variety of formats, including .PDF , Responsive HTML5, .EPUB , .HTML , and more.

The program includes many document templates and tools that speed up the writing and document management process. For example, writers can begin creating a technical manual using FrameMaker's structured book template, and they can import existing content from Microsoft Word documents. Writers can also embed YouTube videos, images, and other rich media in their documents.

In addition to allowing writers to create and publish complex documents, FrameMaker integrates with several content management systems ( CMS ), including Adobe Experience Manager and Microsoft SharePoint. This allows writers to manage documents using their favorite CMS's check in and check out procedures. Writers can also store documents in Dropbox, to share with users who do not have access to their CMS.
