Pagemaker V6, at least, has an option to output either HTML or Adobe
Acrobat directly from Pagemaker. If you're looking for CD-ROM delivery,
either format could work. Acrobat gives much better control over 
formatting. They also have an software program that builds an index
to a collection of PDF (Acrobat) files so that the end user can do
a search on the whole collection.

I suspect that Quark and Framemaker have options to do this as well.

This is a fairly deep question. If you just want to put a lot of text
documents on CD-ROM, these 2 aren't such a bad way to go. One nice
side effect is that you can also put the docs on a Web site without
too much extra effort. But if you want multimedia and interactivity,
you can do better than these tools.
