Electronic Drivers
Like the print drivers, any number of electronic drivers can be licensed for multiple, simultaneous delivery of documents.

HTML
This module creates HTML output, the current standard for publishing hypertext on the web. HTML is a non-proprietary format based on SGML, and can be created and processed by a wide range of tools—from simple plain text editors to sophisticated WYSIWYG authoring tools. The Dialogue HTML module supports CSS2 and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), the new W3C web standard for describing two-dimensional graphics in XML.

PDF
The PDF module creates fully composed PDF files and, therefore, is searchable using Adobe Acrobat Reader (other products create each page as an image, making the PDF very large and unsearchable). Dialogue automatically builds bookmarks so documents and their components are organized and indexed. Support for the standard base 14 fonts is included, as well as the creation and inclusion of other TrueType or Adobe Type1 fonts. Additionally, Dialogue can provide binary compression to minimize the size of files. Full-color, highlight-color, and black-and-white modes are supported.

PowerPoint
This module produces HTML output specifically formatted for Microsoft PowerPoint 2000 or higher business presentation software. The HTML can be opened directly in PowerPoint and can be converted to a .ppt file within PowerPoint. Dialogue supports multi- and single-HTML file generation. Single File HTML (graphics embedded inside the HTML) is supported by PowerPoint 2002 and higher. Previous versions of PowerPoint will require the multi-file HTML method.

RTF
This module creates RTF output. RTF, the Microsoft Word format, includes formatting, font information, text color, and page layout information and can be processed by virtually all word processing programs. This is important for applications in which the output will be revised by customers.

TIFF
This module creates TIFF image output, a widely used format for storing image data. TIFF G4 is the standard format for faxing and is also used for storing documents in archival and retrieval systems. Every page is converted to a black-and-white bitmap and is compressed using CCITT G4 compression.

Competitive Differentiator
Dialogue creates all of the resources needed to output to many different devices, so you only have to create your application one time—no additional changes are needed to the original design to begin outputting to additional formats, as long as the desired output PDL supports the design elements used.

XML Drivers XML (data)
This module creates XML report data files. All data variables are available for inclusion in the report. Any DTD or schema is supported, and nested hierarchies are repeated based on the size of the array variable.

XML (composed)
This module allows the creation of composed XML that can be changed into many presentation formats because it is created in the Dialogue Exchange Format (DXF). DXF format is based on the W3C standard XSL-FO (eXtensible Stylesheet Language—Formatting Objects) and, as such, completely specifies text placement, font, and other attributes.

XML (content)
This module uses an Exstream Software published XML schema and creates an XML file that contains all page and document composition content. The content is created without formatting features such as fonts, color, X-Y coordinates, etc. The purpose of this module is to mine content from components like text, tables, charts, images, etc. that are output from the page design. The order of these components is presented in the order of composition and inclusion in the page design. As with other PDLs, you can include search keys, which are generated as XML comment records embedded inside the XML (content) output.
