Conventional manual layout can add significantly to the costs of authoring. An automated layout with SCHEMA ST4 avoids these extra costs because it superimposes the layout on the content after the authoring.

The benefit is that you get a uniform layout that can be used for any combination of text from a single source.

We create the PLD or OMD templates to ensure that your layout meets all your visual and functional requirements. Simplicity is required to avoid reworking, especially for large instruction manuals. Thus, an automated layout enables all your documents to be published very quickly and affordably (e.g. as PDFs). Once the layout is established, it’s in place for all of your documents. Updates to the layout can be made later and then quickly transferred to all your documentation.

In addition to the standard PDFs, Framemaker, InDesign or Word files are also possible for published output. These formats can be processed further in the corresponding desktop publishing programs.
