Can you improve your content creation process? #

A common mistake is taking accessibility into account too late. This also applies to the PDF format. It’s far more complex and time-consuming to deal with it after PDF creation.

Graphical illustration of a document production process with three phases: conception/design, typesetting/implementation, PDF post-processing. It identifies the two starting points "template creation" and "ad hoc from source document" as more user-friendly and realistic. There is a warning against "Ad hoc from PDF" as more technical and complex. In addition, the editorial influence during template production and during the conception phase is highlighted.

It’s much easier and more efficient to give the necessary thought to the process of document creation and to use the tools correctly.
