FrameDITA-lite (FDL) works with Adobe FrameMaker to create output that is compliant with the DITA specification. It is tested with FrameMaker 7.2 only, but seems to work with 7.0 and 7.1 releases as well. It is not DITA. Instead, we use a subset of DITA (see the link in the bottom right of this page) and allow users to create sample files or to develop a proof of concept that DITA compliant content can be created from FrameMaker when it is configured correctly. While some are using DITA right out of the box, more than half of the organizations that put DITA into production find they have to alter it to meet their particular needs.
