Upgrade to WebWorks Publisher.

Tremendous Synergy

Much like Adobe FrameMaker, WebWorks Publisher Professional is a template-based application, enabling the two products to work seamlessly together. With WebWorks Publisher Professional, users can easily and quickly convert existing FrameMaker documents into a wide variety of emerging online delivery formats such as XML, XHTML, Standard HTML and online Help systems.

An intuitive point-and-click facility makes it simple to associate FrameMaker elements to WebWorks Publisher styles through a process called "mapping". Then the touch of a button converts the contents and graphics automatically, with no further editing or human interaction required to produce elegant and ready-to-publish online documentation.

Seamless Integration

The association of styles illustrates the seamless integration between the two products. Users are able to re-purpose every style created in Adobe FrameMaker and easily map it to its online counterpart in WebWorks Publisher Professional. Among the most obvious and most often reused styles are: Paragraph, Character and Table styles; Markers and Fonts; Cross-references and Conditional text.

Unlimited Customization for Exceptional Flexibility

With WebWorks Publisher Professional, users have the power to create, modify and customize templates, including the new XML and XHTML formats, giving WebWorks Professional an exceptional degree of flexibility. Every style that is mappable is also customizable through the Style Designer

WebWorks Publisher Professional employs Building Blocks and User Macros for globally changing styles throughout the entire project. And, with over 150 macros available in the WebWorks Publisher Macro Language, corporations can easily adhere to their existing corporate look-and-feel.

Innovative Online Help Delivery

Also included with WebWorks Publisher Professional Edition is the WebWorks Help System. WebWorks Help is a unique and innovative online help system that is robust, cross-browser and cross-platform.

WebWorks Help provides carefully crafted help templates designed for highly efficient and effective online help delivery. These templates have been tested and refined through extensive use in live production environments.

WebWorks Help is also the first ever fully XML-based online help system, giving users unparalleled design freedom. WebWorks Publisher Professional also supports popular online help formats and includes templates for JavaHelp, WinHelp and HTML Help. Read more about WebWorks Help 2.0.

Dramatic Productivity Improvements

Style mappings and template reusability dramatically increase productivity while also affording superior project estimation and control and significantly reducing delivery costs. And, because users don't have to map the same styles again and again, nor do they have to reapply the same customization with every use, WebWorks Publisher enables consistent document publishing and optimum utilization of skilled publishing resources.

True Web-standard Look and Feel

Thanks to its phenomenal integration with other technologies and products, WebWorks Professional contributes greatly to both new and existing corporate publishing workflows. This allows the establishment of and facilitates adherence to corporate standards as well as reducing learning curves by making critical information available in familiar ways.

With WebWorks Publisher Professional, users can implement custom Java-based searching capabilities right into a WebWorks Professional project. This enables them to maintain the same level of familiar interface Internet savvy users are accustomed to.

Tightly Integrated with Adobe GoLive

Users can easily ensure a consistent look-and-feel between their website and online documentation and help systems by using WebWorks Professional in conjunction with Adobe GoLive.

Users work in GoLive to create master pages in HTML or XML and define stylesheets. WebWorks Publisher Professional then uses these same stylesheets and master pages when converting FrameMaker text and graphics to online formats.
