Where is RoboHelp? Missing From Adobe’s Business Segment Datasheet
First Adobe fires their RoboHelp tech support team, now they don’t even list the product in Adobe’s 2007 Business Segment Datasheet.
This is a formal document listed within the Adobe Investor Relations section, no small issue.
Copy here if it’s taken down…
RoboHelp Product Manager (whoever it is today) or RJ Jaquez, Product Evangelist, care to comment? Are you still working there?!?
Update:
I thought this might be a typo, so I checked the Adobe Investor Datasheet, which lists products and their release cycles. No RoboHelp there either! Remember, these are SEC required filings…
Copy here in case it’s changed…

There are 2 reasons why I switched from RoboHelp to Help and Manual:
1) The product was extremely buggy and I was wasting too much time fighting problems,
2) No mention of RoboHelp (or at least it was difficult to fine) in the Adobe web site.

Robohelp 7 has finally been released as planned, end of October 2007. It seems like this news is so fresh, there’s been no comments or blogposts in the community on this yet.
