ePublisher ยท Express

ePublisher Express.

A lightweight publishing seat that runs an existing Stationery without modifying it. Express scales the publishing seats on a documentation team without paying for design surface that only one or two team members need.


Introducing

Introducing ePublisher Express.

Express runs the same publishing pipeline as ePublisher Designer โ€” the same Stationery, the same conditions and variables, the same output targets โ€” from a smaller, focused publishing surface. Native support for Adobe FrameMaker, Microsoft Word, Markdown++, and DITA XML means Express publishes directly from the source files the rest of your team already maintains. Output is bit-identical to a Designer-driven build given the same source and Stationery.

Why Express

Why ePublisher Express?

Scales the publishing seats

Express adds publishing capacity on a documentation team without paying for design surface that only one or two team members need. The Designer seat owns the Stationery; Express seats run it.

Bit-identical output

Express runs the same pipeline as Designer. Given the same source documents and the same Stationery, the output is bit-identical โ€” the seat the build runs from does not change what is shipped.

Native source integration

Author in Adobe FrameMaker, Microsoft Word, Markdown++, or DITA XML โ€” Express publishes from the same source files the rest of your team already maintains, with no intermediate export step.

Reports on every build

Built-in reports on style usage, hyperlink integrity, 508 compliance issues, and broken cross-references โ€” generated as part of the build so problems surface before content ships.

Key features

Key features.

Stationery compatibility

Express uses the same project Stationery the Designer seat authored โ€” the same style mappings, conditions, variables, and output targets, without the design surface.

Build reports

Each publish emits reports on style usage, hyperlink accuracy, and compliance issues โ€” surfacing structural problems before they reach a reader.

Table format handling

Tables retain source styling or follow target-specific overrides defined in the Stationery โ€” consistent across web, print, and the rest of the output set.

Configurable UI

UI elements can be enabled or disabled per team โ€” Express seats see only the surface they need to run an existing pipeline.

Same engine, smaller surface

Express does not include the design surface; it generates outputs from a project that Designer has already configured. The pipeline is identical.

Get started

Add publishing seats without paying for design surface.

Express seats run the Stationery the Designer seat already authored. The pipeline is the same; the output is the same; the per-seat cost is lower for team members who do not need the design surface.
