I spent an hour on line with Paul Trani, Adobe Creative Cloud Evangelist and got a full bore explanation and demonstration of “The Creative Cloud”. If you are not already up to speed on this new service from Adobe let me fill you in and give you my take.

What's different now is that Adobe has released the roadmap for Flex, relinquishing control of the SDK to the community at large.  Adobe plans to be part of that community, rather than being the controlling body.  There are still some issues with this approach since Adobe is not opening up the Flash Player to the Open Source community.  When trying to build a platform that is dependent on the Flash Player and you don’t know the underlying features, it makes it difficult to extend past the current release.

Hey, it's still a blog, but this is the kind of stuff we get geeked up about, and hopefully you're glad we do.

A few months ago we rolled out a new website. That went well, but we wanted to get everything just right, so we held back on the blog redesign until we could get it all the way we wanted it.

I was lucky enough to find a useable version of a split word in the audio, but couldn't get Captivate to splice the audio without either an audible stutter in the word, or without a fairly large "pop" at the point of the splice. Read on to see how I solved it!It's pretty common knowledge that you can edit backgrounds in Captivate using Photoshop, right? (Just nod your head up & down if you're not sure, then right click on a background image in your library to check it out...)And if you're lucky enough to have Adobe Soundbooth installed as part of the Adobe eLearning Suite or otherwise, you can do the same thing with audio as well.

ePub From FrameMaker or RoboHelp

If your content is in FrameMaker, I recommend using the TCS2 integration workflow to single source your content into RoboHelp. (seeFrom there, you can extend the range of your FrameMaker output options (see http://blogs.roundpeg.com/2010/01/fm-rh-options/ for a diagram of input and outputs using either FrameMaker 9 or RoboHelp 8)In RoboHelp, you now have ePub as an available output via a script available on the Adobe blogs.

Like so much of tech writing in general, we get the best answers when we ask the right questions. In this case, a better question is "When should I have FrameMaker handle the display of conditional text in my Help output?"There are many cases where the context of your FM content will change based on conditional text settings.

Like many, the user was having difficulty matching the RH formatting that they were so happy with in FM.

As I’ve said many times, RH maps content, not formatting. To get specific formatting in HTML, you will likely need to have some css knowledge and a little patience. CSS takes practice. Formatting for linked projects is a specific skill, just like css formatting for mass email, or for cross browser and cross format compatibility.
