R4i Binder  Â
R4i Binder allows users to quickly and economically generate books and change packages for review – without the ability to formerly ‘release’ the PDF version. R4i Binder Desktop can process XML and SGML content from any structure. To setup, manage and release an authorized version of a book, R4i Professional is required.
R4i Binder is a publishing module for the Auxilium Suite and is a flexible drag and drop system for organizations that require PDF or paper publications. You can build complete PDF books that include cover pages, hyperlinked Tables of Contents (TOC) and a hyperlinked Indexes.
R4i Binder accesses ASD S1000D, DITA and other structured content held in the R4i CSDB Server’s database and processes the content using XSL-FO stylesheets. It can utilise FO stylesheets designed for any print standard, from the traditional Chapter/Section style publication, through to the more modular print utilized in S1000D.
It’s very easy to use. Users simply design the layout of their publication by dragging content from the CSDB view onto their layout view. The Book structure can then be saved to the library and a stylesheet applied to produce the PDF publication.
