About This Guide
This reference manual supports coding of a PTC Arbortext Layout Developer (PTC ALD) application based on the Formatting Object Model (FOM). It contains descriptions of all the objects included in the model, and any constants, properties and methods that make up an object's definition. As such it contains all the information required to set up and maintain a PTC Arbortext Layout Developer template and, hence, any document produced from that template.
