Overview of Preview and Publishing
The majority of preview and publishing actions for your document are instigated via Arbortext Editor or Arbortext Publishing Engine:
• Print — see
Printing for further information
• Publish the final document in the required format:
Arbortext Styler supports the publishing process by providing the following options:
• Creation of a stylesheet that supports each format to which the document may be published:
◦ Arbortext Editor
◦ HTML — HTML File, EPUB, HTML Help, and Web
You have options to generate HTML, XHTML, HTML5, or XHTML5 formats.
◦ Print/PDF
◦ RTF
Once created, the Arbortext Styler stylesheet can be exported from Arbortext Styler to FOSI or XSL formats, or saved as a PTC Arbortext Layout Developer (PTC ALD) template, a .3f file. The exported stylesheet/template can then be associated with a document and used as the default stylesheet for publish actions in Arbortext Editor. .3f files can be used in standalone PTC ALD applications to form the basis of new documents.

XSL stylesheets exported from Arbortext Styler do not conform strictly to the XSL specification. They are designed be supported in other PTC applications such as Arbortext Publishing Engine. PTC cannot guarantee that they will work in other XSL-FO applications and do not support this use case.

The FOSI and XSL-FO print engines are on sustained support and do not receive enhancements or maintenance fixes. PTC ALD is the recommended engine for print/PDF output.
