Paul Pehrson’s review of Flare 4 is worth printing out. Yes, it’s that good.

“Direct to PDF Output – This feature, alone, is worth the price of the Flare upgrade; it is by far, my favorite feature in Flare 4. When you are creating a target, you can select PDF Output as your target type. When you build your target, Flare creates a PDF file directly. You don’t need Word, Acrobat, or Framemaker installed. When you have a PDF target as your primary target, even document previews build in a small, single-topic PDF file so you can see how your document will render in the PDF output”
