SnagIt Version 9.1 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I loved Snagit 7 and 8. I've always been a fan of this product, and working in technical support, I can honestly say I use this software every day - for troubleshooting and documentation. I upgraded to version 9 after I used the trial version for a week. The trial version was very slow, but I assumed that was due to it being "trial". I assumed the paid version would be much faster. I was wrong. Press the "Print Screen" key, and sit back. Versions 7 & 8 were instantaneous. Version 9 takes a full two seconds to begin capturing, and then another two seconds to launch the "Editor". Also, in version 8, all my captures saved as JPG. In 9, they save as PNG. Why isn't there a setting to allow users to set the default file type? Finally, the "capture history" feature might be useful for some folks, but I find it very annoying, and wish there was some way to disable it. I would honestly wait until version 9.1 or until Techsmith works on the speed issues at least.

Adobe FrameMaker 7.1 (Windows) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Framemaker is still the option to choose if you want to make books. This is because it has the most comprehensive .pdf conversion options, and includes the ability to integrate mathematical formulae for the creation of complex academic documents.
Apart from Framemaker 7.1's ability to work with many native Adobe file formats directly, the most important concept of Framemaker, with respect to very long and complex documents, is its ability to work with a number of small files that go to make up the book or document, and let the user update page numbering and indexing as the constituents are created. Ordinarily, with an application such as Microsoft Word, the user has to keep everything together as one unwieldy and delicate file, with the fear of it all crashing.
Framemaker can also be used for writing screenplays after making a simple template to align the text with paragraph styles. Your screenplay can be written as individual files and then combined as a book. When the screenplay is saved as a .pdf you can choose to include the sluglines as bookmarks. The final text looks cleaner and is much more pleasingly spaced than any screenplay formatting application can achieve. The printouts are impressively immaculate.
Framemaker 7.1 contains many collaborative features, and is able to work with SGML and other structured document types. In comparison to 6.0 it is pretty demanding of system resources, so be aware of this, if upgrading or buying as new.
Users of Framemaker 7.1 should also purchase Acrobat Professional so that they can manipulate any .pdf output, since Framemaker can only create a .pdf and cannot do any editng of a .pdf.
