Enigma, Adobe enable intelligent publishing

Enigma has unveiled a new module for its Insight product that links to Adobe Framemaker and Acrobat. The module is integrated with the just-announced Acrobat 4.0.

The combination is designed to create fully functional electronic publications that have the reliability of Adobe PDF with the intelligence of XML/SGML. Insight extracts the structured elements of Framemaker and can use them to create topic-specific search fields for the publication. The gain is quick and focused searching.

The combination is most helpful for large document publisher as it gives them "options and functionality while still working in a familiar environment," said Randy Clark, Enigma's VP of marketing, who added that the Insight module is the only product that links Framemaker, XML and SGML
