["Christine Leisgen" <Christine -dot- Leisgen -at- gmgcolor -dot- com>]

In the following link, there is a comparison of different tools:

I am using Madcap Flare for 3 years now and I think it could fit your needs. Word and Framemaker import is supported. For PDF, I guess you could find tools to convert them to Word first.

Best regards, Christine

> I'm posting this message on behalf of my documentation team. We are a
> team of eight who write a complete array of documentation for a broad
> range of products. Currently, we use different tools: FrameMaker or MS
> Word for paper documentation, Dreamweaver for online help systems. We
> are all located in different states or India. We are searching for a
> single tool we can use that will cover all (or most) of our needs.
>

> 
> We are starting with broad criteria -- we'd like a tool that handles
> modular documentation well (i.e., store content in modules, then
> construct our deliverables from the modules we have written). It should
> handle the import of PDF, FrameMaker, HTML, and Word files, and the
> export of PDF, HTML, and Word files. DITA is not a required criterion.
> If any readers of this list can offer suggestions for tools that can
> support these functions, we'd greatly appreciate it.
