Hi,
I think you can use Framemaker along with Framemaker Server [FS] and some
Content Manager Servers (CMS) for this. Also you could use Acrobat Server
for online conversion of PDFs.
(styles/templates predefined)
Authors ------------------------------------> Write Content Into
Framemaker ----(a)
(a) ----> The Framemaker document is put into "Documentum"
(www.documentum.com) / FS ----- (b)
(b) ----> The document inside "Documentum" / FS can be output as XML
-----> This output can be fed into a CMS --- (c)
(c) ----> CMS's usually facilitate online editing of documents. Creative
People can use this to paginate and perform other creative work. ------>
(d)
(d) ----> The updated document can be sent to Acrobat Server to generate
PDFs.
Documentum can be used as an S/w Config Mgmt tool for Framemaker
documents. Its an optional tool.
Hope this helps.
