Jake Campbell, of Scriptorium, assumed a basic (basic) knowledge of DITA to start his presentation, described a problem of a lot of content spread across several poor-quality PDFs with no bookmarks, no searchable text, and file size issues.
Initial solution extracted data into spreadsheets. A newer approach was a modern PDF, but still issues.
Core issues were irrelevant information, information accessibility, and resource usability.
Solution was to collect into one PDF with navigation and clickable links.
Used DITA-OT 3.6.1, oXygen, Antenna House Formatter, and Bitbucket.
Process included selecting conversion target, build a content model, decide on a workflow, and then do the writing.
Created a template with section elements, most with titles. Added Details and Tags sections. An otherprops added to the root element allows for filtering.
