Author and Publish Standards-Compliant Content The ability to create content that complies with industry standards is becoming increasingly important and popular, particularly when content must be exchanged among stakeholders and partners, reused, and managed. Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 allows users to create content that is compliant to popular industry standards including XML, DITA 1.2 and S1000D. The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA), in particular, provides a standards-based framework for authoring and publishing topic-oriented content. The DITA standard is becoming increasingly popular for organizations that require distributed content authoring, content reuse, and multi-channel publishing. These same organizations also quickly discovered that publishing DITA content can be challenging, especially for PDF output. Classic XML publishing solutions. such as the DITA Open Toolkit and XSL-FO, are complex, brittle, and require programming skills to make even simple modifications. Furthermore, these solutions require "all-XML" input. Unfortunately, converting legacy content to XML is typically time-consuming and expensive. With Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4, you can combine DITA and non-DITA content in your workflows. You can migrate your content at your own pace, and use your own judgment about what content to migrate and what content to leave in legacy formats. Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 provides an end-to-end authoring and publishing solution for DITA content.
