TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I finally bit the bullet and upgraded from 5.5 to 6.0 last week. I also upgraded my Acrobat from 3.1 to 4.0. I tend to be a bit upgrade phobic, but the whole thing went so smooth. I got some advice to uninstall previous versions and then install the new version - I don't know whether that makes a difference, but I did it anyway.
The install and configuration was such a breeze compared to 5.5. My PDFs are so much better.
I really like what I see with FrameMaker 6.0. The online help even is much improved. When you open a 5.5 document, it upgrades it. If you save it on top, you will not be able to open it in 5.5 again.
I still have a few questions, but I've decided to take a couple of hours and go through the manual.
All-in-all, I'm glad I upgraded, and would recommend it!
PS - After installing Acrobat 4.0, even creating PDFs from Office applications was better!
