The print engine functionality of PTC Arbortext Layout Developer (PTC ALD) is automatically installed in your Arbortext Publishing Engine environment. Arbortext Editor clients can publish and preview documents based on a print or PDF Arbortext Styler stylesheet that specifies the PTC ALD print engine, which is an alternative to the existing FOSI or XSL-FO print engine options. PTC ALD extends the functionality of an Arbortext Styler stylesheet. Refer to Print Features Available with APP for a list of additional features provided by PTC ALD.

You can develop stylesheets for PTC ALD using Arbortext Styler. You can set your stylesheet to use the PTC ALD print engine for publishing or Arbortext Editor preview actions. See Logic for Print/Preview Engine Selection for information on choosing a print engine.

Refer to System and Software Requirements for Arbortext Publishing Engine for complete support information.
