No. SDF can generate PostScript via the freely available pod2ps program or the freely available SGML-Tools/LaTeX packages. However, if you have FrameMaker, using it currently has the following advantages: • the PostScript it generates looks better than that generated by most other packages (at the moment) • SDF currently supports FrameMaker better than other packages in some areas (e.g. indexes) • SDF has been tested with FrameMaker much more than other packages. Alternatively, SDF can be used to generate RTF which can then be imported into most word processors.
