Media production

Once the content has been created, the various media are produced in this step. A distinction is made between print media, electronic media and automatically created media and programming.

Each medium requires specific specifications and work steps, which are described in detail.

As a result of the media production, the media are available and can then be published and distributed.

Print media

Print media are paper-based print products. However, as a PDF file is usually required as an intermediate step for print production, the main focus is on PDF creation. PDF files can be used both for the creation of a print product and for an electronic publication. Depending on the printing technology, certain requirements must be taken into account during the media production of a print product.

Aspects of typesetting and layout must be taken into account when producing a print medium. When creating a PDF, different parameters must be set depending on the display medium and output device. For example, if the generated PDF file is provided in electronic form, aspects such as copy protection and security as well as links in the document must be taken into account.

The result of this process step is a PDF file that can be published electronically or non-electronically (e.g. print).
