Adobe has done this in Technical Communcation Suite 4. We call it step-by-step
authoring. It provides a rich integration between Adobe RoboHelp, our premier
tool for publishing technical content, and Adobe Captivate, for creating live,
interactive simulations and demonstrations. Here's how it works.
Try It!: Step by Step Authoring
Let's say I want to add a software demonstration to my online help project. From
my Adobe RoboHelp project, I can choose New>Adobe Captivate Topic. I choose
the types of assets I want to include in my RoboHelp project, from Adobe
Captivate. Maybe I want a RoboHelp HTML5 topic. If I want a procedure, I can
choose Step by Step, to get an automatically-generated procedure topic.
I click OK. Adobe Captivate launches automatically.
In Adobe Captivate, I record my software demonstration. When I'm finished, I
close Captivate. Control reverts back to RoboHelp.
In RoboHelp, I have my new Adobe Captivate demonstration. I also have new
automatically-generated topic files, that I can include in my project.
RoboHelp remembers that these topics were created in Adobe Captivate. I can
modify them in Adobe Captivate with a right-click menu option.
Here we have a brand-new capability for increasing the efficiency of creating
technical and eLearning content, and sharing information assets across both
workflows. All in the Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4.
