FrameMaker Training

Adobe FrameMaker is used to produce both structured and unstructured documents. The program is well suited to long documents and is your teacher’s preferred publishing tool for books. Although FrameMaker does not support bleeds like InDesign, it readily handles documents over 100 pages better than InDesign. Students receive the Adobe FrameMaker Classroom in a Book.
