It would seem logical that Adobe will have export to
Framemaker on their plans for future releases but that doesn't help
right now.
If the content is in FrameMaker, or could be, then perhaps
the Technical Communication Suite holds an alternative solution.
That can output to the version of RH7 that comes with it. When
FrameMaker is later updated, I understand it is a simple click to
update the RH7 project.
The only other possibility, and it seems unlikely, is to
hammer the customer a bit more on their objections to Word. They
say "because in our experience, Word becomes unstable after a
certain size is reached (sometimes even <100 pages if there are
a lot of graphics and screenshots). Word pagination is one of the
first to go. I'm afraid that it would be difficult or impossible to
PDF long documents"
Word really should not be unstable at that level and it is
not my experience, even with many screenshots. Whenever I see
comments like that, I do wonder if some more investigation would
solve the problem. I always want to get my hands on the project at
that point and try to make it fall over. Sometimes the cause can be
found. Often it is just the template used.
