S1000D Data Module to PDF (XSL-FO)
During the course of an S1000D project, the Author is often required to seek technical advice from a third party Subject Matter Expert (SME). If the SME doesn’t have the same toolset as the Author then how are they going to view the Data Module (DM). The simplest and most cost effective workaround is to deliver the DM to the SME as an S1000D formatted PDF file.
Vendor-Neutral XSL-FO Print Stylesheets
Currently, there are a few software vendors offering S1000D stylesheets in some proprietary formats like the Arbortext Editor FOSI file or the Adobe Framemaker EDD file. For S1000D XML DM's, Docuneering have taken a totally different approach by not partnering with any vendor and instead creating a set of standalone W3C XSL Version 1.1 compliant FO stylesheets (XSL-FO).
This gives customers much more flexibility when sourcing S1000D XML toolsets because the Docuneering Vendor-Neutral XSL-FO stylesheets will plug into most XML Editors.
If your company is already running a bespoke Authoring/Publishing system and the process of customising it to add the Docuneering Vendor-Neutral XSL-FO Stylesheets would be too costly then Docuneering also offers a complete Standalone S1000D - Data Module to PDF solution.
With the Docuneering Standalone S1000D - Data Module to PDF tool, you create your SGML or XML Data Modules as you always have without any change to the workflow. However, when you need a PDF file, you now use the Docuneering Standalone S1000D - Data Module to PDF to create your PDF.
And ... That's It!
