What is the difference between FrameMaker 8 and FrameMaker Server 8?
Although both FrameMaker 8 and FrameMaker Server 8 software share the same technology and even the same installation CD, they differ in the permitted use for which they are licensed. Both FrameMaker 8 and FrameMaker Server 8 include a set of powerful, high-quality features for producing print and PDF output. FrameMaker 8, 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 8, on the other hand, is designed to be used programmatically in a server-based or automated environment. FDK is the primary means for driving the application.
