No, you can't download a demo copy of FrameMaker from Adobe's website.
However, they will ship you a CD-ROM titled "Introducing Adobe
FrameMaker 5.5" which includes a demo copy (you can't save, and
everything you print has "Demo FrameMaker" overprinted on it) along with
the tutorial someone else on the list mentioned.
Note that they SHIP this CD, so you have to be able to provide them with
a street address--PO Boxes aren't acceptable.
Call Adobe at 800-685-4586 or look around on the website (www.adobe.com)
until you find the link for contacting them. I sent them an email
begging and pleading for a demo copy--that's how I got the CD!
