Lisa et al.,
FrameReader, the free online viewing companion product to FrameMaker
and FrameMaker+SGML, provides powerful cross-platform distribution for
FrameMaker documents. InstantView(TM) technology lets you distribute your
files without post processing. This technology, in conjunction with
robust hypertext navigation, superb document resolution, and support
for platform-based multimedia, increases the value of your online
documents.
With FrameReader, you can:
- open one or more FrameMaker and FrameMaker+SGML documents
- view documents at a reduced or enlarged size (from 25% to
1600% in 1% increments)
- navigate within or between documents by clicking on hypertext
links that were automatically generated by (or manually placed in)
FrameMaker and FrameMaker+SGML
- search forward and backward within a document using whole or
partial words, wildcards, and case consideration
- copy text from a FrameReader document and paste it into
another application
- print an entire document, book, or range of pages
FrameReader can be freely distributed as long as it is used for
non-commercial purposes. Non-commercial is defined as:
- not for resale
- not for commercial or personal gain
- not repackaged
- not bundled and distributed with any software or document collection
Hope this answers the questions!
