Leveraging 15 years experience in developing single-source publishing solutions, Mekon has designed the first XML publishing adaptor to enable Adobe FrameMaker users to utilise the powerful print pagination capabilities of FrameMaker and FrameMaker Server within DITA based XML publishing systems.
Users wishing to utilise the benefits of XML publishing and the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) standard can now, for the first time, use FrameMaker as the pagination engine to format output content as PDF within their system.
Mekon has developed the adaptor in response to a growing recognition by technical publications deparents of the benefits of using DITA's 'topic' based approach to enable effective content re-use and is being made available via the DITA Open Toolkit.
"Using our knowledge of single-source publishing technology and standards such as DITA, we have helped to ensure technical publications deparents can utilise a familiar and powerful application (FrameMaker) in their DITA publishing projects. This eliminates the need to invest in a separate pagination engine and helps to ensure that FrameMaker users can continue to leverage their existing invesent in this most trusted of applications." Mark Poston, Senior Technical Consultant, Mekon.
The adaptor generalises specialised DITA XML content and applies class based formatting rules thereby removing the need for users to create new EDDs every time a new specialised element is required. Using FrameMaker templates, users can quickly and easily customise the format of their output documents.
