DTP for technical documents where accuracy of structure, numbering and graphics matters as much as appearance.
Document types
- manuals and instructions;
- technical and engineering reports;
- catalogs and operating documentation;
- documents with large numbers of tables, diagrams and figures.
How the work differs
Technical documents have to retain their internal logic: numbering, cross-references, figure captions, tables and recurring page elements. DTP is therefore treated as part of the production process, not as a separate decorative step.
