   Frequently Asked Questions
 
   Q. Why is Adobe discontinuing Macintosh support for FrameMaker
   altogether?
 
   A. The decision to discontinue FrameMaker on the Macintosh operating
   systems was based on the market conditions for FrameMaker. The majority
   of our customers use FrameMaker on Microsoft Windows and Sun Solaris
   platforms.
 
   Adobe is continuing Macintosh development for flagship print and web
   publishing solutions such as Adobe Creative Suite including InDesign(r)
   CS, Photoshop(r) CS, Illustrator(r) CS, GoLive(r) CS, and Acrobat(r).
 
   Q. How much of your FrameMaker base is currently using Macintosh?
 
   A. It is our policy to not comment on the size of our user base.
   However, sales of FrameMaker licenses have been greater on the Windows
   and Solaris platforms for a number of years.
 
   Q. How much longer will FrameMaker 7.0 for Macintosh be available?
 
   A. Adobe FrameMaker 7.0 for Macintosh will be available to distributors
   and licensing customers and through the Adobe Store, until April 21, 
 2004.
 
   Q. Will Adobe release another version of FrameMaker for Solaris and
   Windows?
 
   A. It?s our policy not to disclose future product plans but moving
   forward, Adobe's planned development efforts for FrameMaker will focus 
 on
   the Windows and Solaris platforms.
 
   Q. Will Macintosh users continue to get support from Adobe on 
 FrameMaker?
 
   A. Adobe will continue to provide complimentary support for FrameMaker 
 7.0
   for Macintosh until April 21, 2005, approximately one year. Adobe will
   honor fee-based technical support contracts for the Mac version until 
 they
   expire. Adobe Open Option (AOO) maintenance contracts can no longer be
   ordered. For North America customers, please contact Adobe Customer 
 Service
   at (800) 833-6687. For customers in other regions, please visit
