- Subject: DOCBOOK-APPS: content creation
I'm trying to get the doc process down to create some really nice docs.
Using vi w/ docbook is making my fingers tired, but it certainly gives
me lots of flexibility. So I went out and bought adobe acrobat thinking
it was a sort of create/edit tool for creating manuals, but turns out I
think it's only good for making documents into pdf files Probably a
waste of $250.
So I converted all my docbook web pages into pdf's and they turned out
ok, but was wondering how you guys are going about this (creating some
nice user manuals) and if I understand the process correctly. Do you
create the content using whatever you wish and then import/convert them
into pdf's?
Anyone know of any good gui tools where I can just concentrate on the
content (and maybe some that run on OSX, and don't cost too much)?
And if anyone can list a few points about adobe acrobat and how it fits
in, that would help calm my nerves about the cost.
Thnxs.
