Introduction to graphics and multimedia

Graphics and multimedia are supported across several products.

  • SDL Contenta S1000D
  • SDL LiveContent S1000D
  • Arbortext Editor
  • SDL XML Professional Publisher

Because multimedia files can be large, and are not usually displayed in Arbortext Editor, for best performance we recommend that in Contenta S1000D you set your exportReferencedGraphics preference to No before inserting references to multimedia files. There are several ways to do this:

  • In AppData, edit the <user-name>/Settings/Graphics/exportReferencedGraphics setting.
  • During checkout: If exportReferencedGraphics is set to prompt, answer No to the Do you want to export referenced graphics? prompt.
  • In Arbortext Editor, click Contenta > Set Preference for Graphics Export. Note that changes take effect in future edit sessions.
