Dream:
Reduce Production Time and Improve Quality
- Eliminate parallel creation and update
- Lights-out publishing (e.g., invoices, medical records, catalogs)
- Validation finds many surprises early
- Automate tedious and repetitive handwork
- New proofing and checking methods (lists, false color)
- Format automated, so
- authors/copy-edit don’t work on format, just content
- consistency of formatting look and feel
- virtually eliminates “check that every X is formatted as Y”
- generated text (autonumbering, “Figure”, punctuation)
- cross references and citations checked
