From Word to Structured Publications
Keep the convenience of Word, gain the power of structure
Editors stay in Word. Meaning travels through the chain. Systems receive structure.
Publications often start innocently in Word. It looks neat, until more people start working on it. One person uses manual lists, another automatic ones. A third uses tabs for layout. Word accepts everything.
But as soon as such a document enters the chain — from Word to XML or PDF — problems arise. Misnumbering can move an entire paragraph. An incorrect style makes a chapter invisible.
Order in the Chaos
Elk Solutions does what Word doesn't: create order. We automatically analyze, clean up, and rebuild your documents.
- Manual lists become real lists.
- Numbering is corrected.
- Titles are recognized.
The result is a document that is technically perfect for further processing, without your editors having to leave their familiar Word environment.
How it works
- Source in Word: Your experts continue working in the familiar environment.
- Smart Conversion: Our engine validates and structures the content in the background.
- Perfect Output: XML, HTML or PDF output that meets all standards.
Does this pipeline use RenderX XEP?
A formatter migration must demonstrably preserve the structure carried by the source. We therefore compare more than PDF files and follow XML, XSLT, XSL-FO and formatter dependencies as one pipeline.
Where does your source lose its structure?
Provide one representative document and one desired output. The Quickscan follows meaning through the pipeline.
