S1000D and DITA-standard technical documentation
Arbortext helps author technical documentation to the S1000D standard (defense/aerospace) and DITA (commercial products) — reusing structured content instead of copy-pasting.

Frequently asked questions
DITA or S1000D?
DITA is common for commercial products. S1000D is mandatory in defense/aerospace. Arbortext supports both.
Can it replace Word/InDesign?
For large-scale, multi-version technical documentation, Arbortext is far superior. Word/InDesign remain suitable for small marketing documents.
