RE: Framemaker Viewer? Floating Licenses?

["Robart, Kay" <Kay -dot- Robart -at- tea -dot- state -dot- tx -dot- us>]

Yeah, I get it. I think my point is that Adobe might not see any reason
to provide a Frameviewer anymore, since they might see it as competition
for PDF and wouldn't be thinking of a situation like yours.

We used to use floating licenses for UNIX years ago, but I haven't heard
of them for a PC. If they don't have them, maybe you could set up a
centrally located computer that has Frame installed on it where people
could view your docs.

[Not to be snippy or anything, but the Frameviewer is probably something

called Adobe PDF. ;-)  Kay]

Kay -  no offense taken - and for the record we are already using PDF.

Perhaps a little background might be helpful.  The reason that I'm 
asking is because I am the only person with FrameMaker in the office and

it is installed locally.  If I am unavailable, people are unable to see 
the docs.  I would like for them to be able to do that, so I'm looking 
at different options for them to be able to do that without me having to

create a PDF for them.  Another option that I'm thinking of is using 
watched folders, but as I'm also using a version control system and 
people tend to go there to check out docs, I'm looking for something 
that would be a bit more streamlined.

Thanks,
