FrameMaker v. InDesign

In March, 2019 I presented this topic to the LA InDesign User Group. Not only was the content well-received, but Adobe asked me to repeat the conversation in a recorded webinar, to be scheduled in a few months.

I’ve put a few of my points into the content below, but what would you want to see answered in the webinar? I’ll do my best to accomodate requests from you, the Tech Comm Tools community.

    Was there ever a published webinar?

    Hi Andrew, I’m not sure if we ever did a webinar, as planned.

    I did, however, find a related recording I did with Rick Zanotti and Kirstin Roarke from about 2014-2015.
