Technical communicators

Great writing is less about writing, more about rewriting, whether you’re a technical writer or a technical Subject Matter Expert. In addition to needing ways to smartly reuse content, you also face challenges like heavy workloads, tight deadlines and regulatory compliance – you need a scalable authoring and publishing solution that enables you to single source content, conduct effective closed loop reviews, publish it to multiple channels and devices, as well as add 3D models and simulations. Take care of these multiple needs with a single integrated toolset for your end-to-end technical communication workflow.
Streamline your workflow through single sourcing content in FrameMaker, rich media integration in Captivate, image processing in Photoshop as well as Illustrator, collaborative reviews via Acrobat PDF roundtrips, and multi-language translation and multi-format publishing via RoboHelp. Adobe Technical Communication Suite 3.5 has best-in-breed components that are tightly integrated to work synergistically together, making it a must-have for today’s technical communicators.
