The valuable features for us are format control and professional and clear output.

There should be some training for Chinese customers. This is maybe because only a few Chinese documentation engineers are using FrameMaker, so it is difficult to find solutions through the Internet and there is little training about FrameMaker. Most of the features of FrameMaker are not used because we don't know how to use them. I think Adobe should provide more training for Chinese customers.
