This product may integrate with or allow access to certain Adobe or third-party hosted online services (“Online Services”). Online
Services are available only to users 13 and older and require agreement to additional terms of use and Adobe’s online privacy policy (see
www.adobe.com/go/terms). Online Services are not available in all countries or languages, may require user registration, and may be
discontinued or modified in whole or in part without notice. Additional fees or subscription charges may apply.
Creation and reuse of publishing task templates—Work productively with shareable, editable
publishing task templates, in which you specify outputs and their associated settings, prepublishing
and post-publishing tasks, notifications, and output location. Use template to publish with different
source files, and create tasks that will inherit the template’s settings.
Reusable presets for publishing—Save time and effort by defining publishing presets. Use these
presets with different source files to avoid having to specify settings repeatedly. Share your presets
with other users across the organization, and standardize the appearance of enterprise content.
Broad range of input formats—Work with XML, DITA, SGML, Maker Interchange Format (MIF),
native Adobe FrameMaker, and Office Filter files. Seamlessly import JPEG, GIF, PDF, CGM, SWF files
and more.
Publishing DITA maps to books—Easily publish your DITA content to professional-looking output.
Generate nested books and books with flat components. Create attractive book content from DITA
maps by automatically generating titles and tables of contents, applying number properties, and page
rounding. Easily publish directly to PDF from the DITA map or through the book.
Scripting support for automation—Perform custom processing on the input files in prepublication
state. Create scripts with Adobe ExtendScript Toolkit to automate publication tasks, including
prepublication tasks such as applying conditional text for single-sourced publication tasks.
Shared API with Adobe FrameMaker—Use the same API and the FrameMaker Developer Kit for
both Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server 12 and Adobe FrameMaker 12 software*, thereby making
it easy for programmers to transfer their skills from one environment to the other.
Device-based screen profiles—Leverage the scalable, extensible multiscreen HTML5 format to
make output look its best on a range of devices. Create new profiles, specify a range of dimensions or
resolutions for each of them, provide screen frame images for better previewing of output screens,
and specify the browser agents to use to access the content.
Automatic, screen-based content optimization—Allow users to optimize each screen profile based
on the size of the output screen by converting auto-size or text-only pop-ups to hyperlinks, changing
absolute image and table sizes to relative sizes. Enable the pinch-to-zoom feature, and replace SWF
content with Adobe Captivate HTML5 files on iOS devices.
Customizable screen layouts—Choose from out-of-the-box layouts for desktop, iPhone**, iPad**,
Kindle Fire, and more, or define custom layouts and map them to screen profiles. Edit the topic style,
content, and search features in each layout. Conveniently change styles using a toolbar. Preview
pages to see how the layouts will appear.
Integration with Windows Task Scheduler—Use Windows Task Scheduler to view, edit, and manage
scheduled publication tasks.

sophisticated formatting.

assembly and formatting, and compose custom documents dynamically from a variety of data
sources using the FrameMaker Developer Kit with Adobe FrameMaker 12* and the software’s built-in
import filters and XML support.
Shareable publishing task configuration—Reuse settings to set up similar publishing tasks. For
example, if you created a task to output PDF, multiscreen HTML5, WebHelp, and eBook (EPUB 3,
KF8) formats from a set of source documents, you can edit this task to create a task for other source
types.
