Arbortext layout editor

[Stephen_DeLeon]

Hello,

I just wanted to ask regarding Arbortext layout editor. Is this a standalone software or does it work when you install Arbortext editor? Upon checking the software download tab I only see the Arbortext  editor and no Arbortext layout editor. 

Thank you.

Hi Stephen

Arbortext Layout Editor is unrelated to Arbortext Editor, but closely related to Arbortext Layout Developer. It is a simplified version of Layout Developer, with the 'developer' parts restricted. The intention is to provide a 'document finishing' application for Layout Developer users who only want to make finishing touches to a publication before printing.

I hope this helps

I see I see. So correct me if Im wrong, after my XML formatting and tags i enter it in layout to fix the format of the page itself?

That's the idea, Stephen

It isn't always possible to 100% automate some layouts. Arbortext Layout Editor gives you the opportunity to format XML content to 95% of your requirements, and then edit the formatting of a page to achieve the final 5%.
