Import Types
You can import many different types of content into Paligo. Some formats can be imported directly, whereas others require an indirect import where you convert the content into a different format before you import it into Paligo.
-
Direct imports means that you can Use the Import Wizard without converting the files.
-
Indirect imports means that you have to use an external application to convert the content to a format that Paligo supports for direct imports before you can Use the Import Wizard.
Tip
Always check the existing tool for output or conversion formats. For example, if you want to import Adobe FrameMaker content, you could use FrameMaker to create an XHMTL version and then import the XHTML content into Paligo.
 |
The table below describes the different import formats. Each format has its own preparations.
Tip
It is also possible to have the import customized for your needs. Contact support for more information.
