What is the difference between Adobe FrameMaker 9 and FrameMaker Server 9?
Although both FrameMaker 9 and FrameMaker Server 9 software share the same technology and even the same installation CD, they differ in the permitted use for which they are licensed. Both FrameMaker 9 and FrameMaker Server 9 include a set of powerful, high-quality features for producing print and PDF output. FrameMaker 9, however, is designed to be used interactively by users on their desktops. It includes a fully interactive, WYSIWYG authoring environment, along with a range of publishing tools. FrameMaker Server 9, on the other hand, is designed to be used programmatically in a server-based or automated environment. The FDK is the primary means for driving the application. FrameMaker Server is specifically designed to provide server-based features for print and PDF output.
