Building on popularity - These new features simply build on RoboHelp's long reputation as a leading tool for author's worldwide. In fact, WritersUA recently published its annual survey of authoring tools used by technical writers. The survey showed that RoboHelp continues to be the choice of help authoring professionals with 56% of the respondents using one or more versions of the popular Adobe product. Adobe has also identified an emerging technical communications solution made up of Adobe Acrobat, Adobe FrameMaker, Adobe Captivate, and of course Adobe RoboHelp. All of this support is further proof of Adobe's committment to the technical communications community to support their favorite tools. Adobe continues its "listening to users tour" into 2008 where you will find members of the team at Society for Technical Communications national conventions and regional meetings, Writers UA in Portland, Oregon and conferences throughout the world. |
