Deriving efficiencies from collaborative review cycles
Subject matter expert, Oana Diaconu, of Globalization Partners International joins Adobe product evangelist, Maxwell Hoffmann, to demonstrate various collaborative review processes for technical content. If the linguistic reviewers have access to the Cloud (such as SharePoint Server or Acrobat.com), multiple comments and annotations may be made in the same review files. If you work with remote staff with limited internet bandwidth, PDF review files may be emailed and annotated with the free Acrobat Reader. In this webinar you will discover:
- the proper way to make annotations (about 60% of PDF annotations submitted to translation agencies are incorrect), and
- how multiple reviewers’ collaborative comments may be imported directly into tools like FrameMaker or RoboHelp as source files for “fool proof” edits.

What is the future of indexing for technical documentation?
With the rapid growth of e-books, tablets, and mobile devices, the ways in which we consume content are changing. The methods readers use to find content are also changing overall. Despite that, the need for quality indexes will not fade, but the appearance of indexes will be different. The concepts for indexing content will remain the same, however.
What will these future indexes look like? Cheryl Landes, who has indexed technical content for 21 years, will answer that question and provide examples of the new world of indexes. Some of these indexes are coming sooner than you might think!
During this one hour interactive session, Cheryl will cover the following topics:
- Changes in how people read documentation, and how this is affecting how we look for information. Mobile devices, e-readers, and tablets will be covered in this segment.
- A discussion of current interfaces and their benefits and limitations in terms of finding information.
- Samples of effective indexes on the new reading devices, along with a discussion of tools that can produce these indexes. (NOTE: There isn’t a consistently accepted format yet, but the American Society for Indexing’s Digital Trends Task Force has created a proposed mock-up and electronic indexing standards and is working with various industry leaders and organizations to integrate these into e-books and other types of electronic documentation. Cheryl is active in this task force.)

Just Enough Content Management – Best Practices for Enterprises
There is a familiar pattern to many Content Management (CM) projects. Initial investments are directed towards the selection and deployment of a CM System (CMS). Then the real work begins on delivering new information products and realizing all the savings that were promised when justifying the CMS acquisition. Unfortunately, in all too many cases the initial outlays on the CMS are so great and the team learning curve so steep that moving onto the second step of delivering new information products and concrete savings proves to be exceedingly challenging. The spike in initial expenditures is noticeable enough to management that the project is forced to focus almost all its efforts on realizing cost savings and this works against the effort to realize the new products. Eventually someone else in management, and typically someone higher up in management, notices that there have been outlays and disruptions and asks the awkward question about what benefit all this has been for the customer.
Now fortunately, CM projects do not have to follow this path. Join Tom Aldous, Adobe Technical Communication Evangelist, and Joe Gollner (www.gollner.ca), Director of Gnostyx Research (www.gnostyx.com) for an engaging and interactive webinar where they will explore one such alternative called Just Enough Content Management. Under this model, projects are encouraged to look for specific content scenarios that can be improved and accelerated using new techniques and then focusing efforts on making tactical changes. Through a cycle of these investments, these projects build up a library of new capabilities that combine together to demonstrate how the organization will need to handle content in the future. At this point, it also becomes very clear exactly what CM services are really needed and these can often be added without necessarily acquiring a full CMS. At the end of the day, the Just Enough Content Management approach is all about focusing your investments on areas that will deliver the greatest benefits – for your customers, users and managers – and then adding the essential elements of management control to protect and promote those benefits.

In this eSeminar Tom Aldous, Adobe Technical Communication Evangelist, will demonstrate to you how Adobe FrameMaker and Adobe Technical Communication Suite are the lowest cost of ownership solutions for your DITA XML workflow.
Choosing between Structured and Unstructured FrameMaker
You can use Adobe FrameMaker in either of two modes: Unstructured or Structured. Both modes provide rich capabilities for technical communicators. Both provide template-based authoring and publishing. But how do they differ? What are the benefits of each mode? And which should you choose based on your documentation objectives?
Unstructured FrameMaker provides automated formatting through paragraph and character formats. Structured FrameMaker supports elements, attributes, hierarchical document structures, and what Adobe calls ‘guided editing’. If you need to work with XML, you will almost certainly want to use FrameMaker in the Structured mode.
Join Tom Aldous (Adobe Technical Communication Evangelist) and Alan Houser (Adobe Partner and a distinguished consultant and trainer in the technical communication space) for an interactive eSeminar, where we will consider the strengths of Unstructured and Structured FrameMaker.

Topic-Based Authoring in Unstructured Adobe FrameMaker
Topic-based authoring can offer lots of benefits, from improved consistency and usability of information, to the possibility of reuse of topics in different contexts. It can also simplify maintenance, speed up the review process, and facilitate shared authoring.

Essentials of Topic-Based Authoring
Topic-based authoring is a technique for writing content as discrete, stand-alone pieces (“topics”) that can be combined and reused in different ways. Using a topic-based approach can improve consistency and usability of information, and can make it easier to reuse topics in different contexts. It can also simplify maintenance, speed up the review process, and facilitate shared authoring. You don't have to use DITA or any other structured technology to get benefits from using a topic-based approach.
Join Tom Aldous, Adobe Product Evangelist, and Linda Urban (www.urbancreations.com), Adobe Partner and a leading industry expert, for an interactive session, where they review the essentials of topic-based authoring, and learn how to get started with developing a topic-based information model that fits your content.
