Eclipse S1000D for Adobe Framemaker

What Makes Eclipse S1000D for FrameMaker Different

Familiar Authoring with Enforced Structure

Authors work in FrameMaker’s WYSIWYG or tagged view while Eclipse enforces S1000D structure, elements, and attributes behind the scenes. Human-readable element and attribute names guide authors without requiring deep schema knowledge.

Validation During Authoring

Schema validation runs as content is created, helping authors identify and resolve compliance issues early—before review cycles or delivery milestones.

Optimized for Page-based Output

FrameMaker’s native strengths in page layout and formatting are preserved, supporting complex page structures and print-ready deliverables while maintaining S1000D compliance.

Output & Publishing

Eclipse S1000D for FrameMaker supports production-ready output for regulated environments, including:

Multiple page sizes (A4, A5, A3, ANSI A, Index Card)

Structured XML or SGML output

Formatted PDF output when used with notusBookBuild

This makes it well-suited for programs with strong print or page-layout requirements.

Integration with notusCSDB

When used with notusCSDB, authors can:

Insert references, ICNs, and repository items directly from the CSDB

Maintain two-way relationships between content elements
Understand downstream impact when referenced content changes

This supports a governed, end-to-end S1000D content lifecycle—but is not required for use.
