Whether you are part of a large-scale content collaboration workflow, integrating industry XML standards, or simply maintaining a database of business records, Authentic eForms designed in the StyleVision stylesheet generator ensure that input data is well-formed and valid. Authentic provides those entering content an intuitive, user-friendly interface – the translation of input data to XML happens behind-the-scenes once end users enter data into the eForm that you design in StyleVision.

The Industry's Only Truly Portable XML Form

Now it's even easier for developers to distribute fully functional data entry applications for XML and databases with the Portable XML Form™ (PXF™) – embed all Authentic design components (including XML instance documents and schema, CSS, images, and other external files) in a single PXF file for the industry's only truly portable XML form. End users simply open the PXF file and start entering and editing XML and database data in Authentic's WYSIWYG interface.
