ADOBE® TECHNICAL

COMMUNICATION SUITE 4

Extend the frontiers of technical content creation and

consumption

Technical communicators have always been

tasked with providing documentation,

instructions, and eLearning that is usable,

accurate, and complete. Quality technical

documentation is an important component of

any product or service that requires

instructions for use. These products and

services pervade modern life — software,

hardware, medical devices, transportation

systems, consumer products, to name a few.

Many organizations depend on

well-documented policies and procedures that

must be consistently followed and

enforced.

Now technical communicators are in a

world of rapidly-changing options for content delivery and consumption . Tablet

computers and mobile devices are exploding in

popularity. eBook readers continue to gain market

share. A mobile revolution is making a fundamental

shift in the way content is consumed. Customers

expect to access technical communication and

eLearning content in the right format, on any device.

Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 is

designed for this new world of content: provides a

complete authoring and publishing solution to

multiple channels, file formats, and devices with

best-in-class applications for all your needs.

mobile-optimized technical documentation content destined for

smartphones, eReaders, tablet computers, and other mobile

devices from within familiar authoring interfaces. Kudos,

Alan Houser, Consultant/Trainer, Group Wellesley, Inc.

“Adobe Captivate® is great, and now that Adobe Technical

Communication Suite 4 includes Adobe Presenter 8, Adobe has

given me a companion tool for publishing ‘soft skills’ training

content as well. Adobe Presenter publishes directly from

PowerPoint, giving me direct and more complete publishing of

animations and timing of PowerPoint content. The quizzing,

skinning, and publishing features in Presenter are so similar to what

I know in Adobe Captivate, I didn’t even need help getting started.”

Who Should Use Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4?

Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 provides powerful capabilities to:

Technical communicators, information architects, designers, developers, web

developers, and other complex documentation specialists

Authors of complex, topic-based, structured (XML, DITA, S1000D) or

unstructured technical documentation who want to easily write, review, and

publish content for mobile, web, desktop, and print. They want a scalable

authoring and publishing solution that enables them to natively single-source

popular standards-compliant content and publish it to multiple channels, formats,

and screens.

Technical subject-matter experts and engineers

Subject-matter experts and engineers who create comprehensive technical

documentation, including test plans, designs, reports, and product specifications.

They increasingly want to include 3D models, complex graphics, and simulations

in their documents and often seek solutions with these rich media capabilities.

Help authors, knowledgebase experts, help developers for mobile applications,

user assistance designers, and content strategists

Content creators who produce help systems, professional knowledgebases,

technical support information, user guides, maintenance manuals, help content for

Adobe Technical Communication Suite Reviewer’s Guide 9

mobile apps, and other support information for multichannel, Multiscreen

HTML5 publishing. They want a scalable authoring and publishing solution that

enables them to single-source content and publish it to multiple channels, formats,

and screens across mobile, web, desktop, and print.

Instructional designers and eLearning professionals

Instructors and trainers who create document-based learning materials for real

and virtual classrooms and self-study programs. They are looking for an authoring

and publishing tool that is comprehensive but easy to use, and integrates with

specialist tools like Adobe® Captivate®. They need to develop and maintain

instructionally sound eLearning courses that integrate with Learning Management

Systems. They work in a collaborative environment with multiple review cycles

and follow-up. Productivity is a major concern—they need to deliver more in less

time, with fewer people, at a lower cost.

Policies and procedures specialists

Content creators who produce documentation that helps government and

corporate organizations achieve compliance with accounting, privacy, accessibility,

and other regulatory statutes. They need a tool that enables them to write

structured, searchable documents that can be easily accessed by anyone in an

organization.

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. The appeal of Adobe Technical

Communication Suite 4 includes:

• Author fully DITA-compliant content (including the DITA 1.2 specification)

in FrameMaker 11.
