MadCap MadPak – 1 Minute Review

Technical writers who use Madcap Flare may not be aware of another technical writing application, MadPak, This claims to be the industry’s first true single-sourcing product suite, resulting in the tightest product-to-product integration ever seen.


MadPak Key Features

  • Single sourcing across multiple products
  • Integrate media elements into your documentation
  • Launch MadCap Mimic, Capture, and Echo from within the Flare interface, so you can quickly insert Mimic movies,
  • Capture screen shots and Echo audio to topics.
  • Improve project efficiency and consistency and add speed to your authoring with MadCap Analyzer
  • The X-Edit family improves your corporate workflow by allowing subject matter experts and occasional contributors to seamlessly review and provide content for your documentation.

Cross Product integration

MadPak is not just a collection of tools; it’s a tightly integrated suite.

For example, variables are containers that hold re-usable text. Not only can you insert variables directly into Mimic movie content and screen shots, but you can also create a link directly to a Flare project.

This allows you to insert variables from that Flare project into the Mimic movie and into MadCap Capture. If the variable definition is changed in Flare, it changes everywhere simultaneously in Flare content, in Mimic movies, and in Capture images.
