Publishing S1000D content

From SDL Contenta S1000D, you can publish S1000D content to PDFs, IETPs, or the file system.

Contenta S1000D Publish supports the following outputs:

IETP ViewerPDF Publishing EngineFile System
SDL LiveContent S1000D SDL XPPExports referenced modules and graphics from the CSDB to the file system, resolves references, and applies applicability as needed.
Third-party IETP viewer

(via Contenta S1000D publish to the file system)

Third-party PDF publishing engine

(via Contenta S1000D publish to the file system)

For a list of graphic/multimedia formats currently supported by LiveContent (for IETPs) and XPP (for PDFs), see the SDL Contenta S1000D Cross-Product Graphics and Multimedia Support Reference topics in this documentation.

SDL Contenta S1000D includes a publish configuration file with properties that may be configured as needed. Two of these properties, LiveContent_GraphicFormats and XPP_GraphicFormats, list graphic formats; however, these properties usually do not need to be modified because the delivered file contains the supported graphic types.

Contenta S1000D also enables you to publish with applicability. In order to do this, ensure that the Publication Module that you publish includes a reference to an Applicability Cross-Reference Table Reference Data Module. You specify such a Data Module in one of the following ways:
  • In a pre-Issue 4.0 Publication Module, use an <actref> tag.
  • In an Issue 4.0 or higher Publication Module, use an <applicCrossRefTableRef> tag.

When you publish, the referenced applicability DMs (ACT, PCT, CCT) are exported along with other referenced DMs such as BREX DMs, CIR DMs (in Issue 4.1 and higher), and cross-referenced DMs.
