Configuring third-party output formats
This topic describes the configuration required to use third-party output formats with Contenta S1000D.
Before you begin
- Export a publication's modules and graphics from the CSDB to the file system (on the Contenta Web server).
- Pre-process the exported modules: resolve nested PMs, resolve content references, get latest content, apply applicability.
- Execute a custom Perl script to seamlessly publish all the way through to your third-party IETP viewer or PDF publishing engine.
SDL provides a starting-point Perl script, but it is up to each customer to write their own custom Perl script (or have the Perl script execute a publish program in a different language, for example, Java) that performs the rest of the downstream processing from the file system to the third-party product.
About this task
Perform this procedure for each third-party output format. For example, if you will be publishing to a third-party IETP viewer and to a third-party PDF publishing engine, perform this procedure twice.
