Extension of the Successful OEM Partnership between RealObjects and 4D CONCEPT

RealObjects and 4D CONCEPT are pleased to announce the extension of their successful OEM partnership, first established in 2017. As part of this partnership, 4D CONCEPT continues to license PDFreactor, a high-performance engine for HTML-to-PDF conversion, from RealObjects for integration into the ADAM and HEYSQUID DITA software suites.

The ADAM Suite now extends its capabilities to become the only solution covering the full range of S-Series specifications driven by ASD in Europe and AIA in the United States. It supports major industrial and defense players in managing technical documentation throughout its lifecycle, from authoring to publication, in compliance with standards such as S1000D and ATA 2300.

The HEYSQUID DITA, built on the DITA XML standard widely used in Automotive, Energy, Electronics, and Lifescience, enables efficient modular content management, reuse, and multichannel publication. It helps organizations streamline the creation and localization of manuals, training materials, and product documentation.

“We are very pleased that 4D CONCEPT will continue to rely on PDFreactor in the coming years. This once again demonstrates the importance of our solution in the field of sophisticated technical documentation, particularly in aerospace and defense, where complex yet accessible PDFs are essential. PDFreactor also sets standards in multichannel publication, as shown by its use in the HEYSQUID DITA software. For example, professional PDFs for print processes are ensured through support for the PDF/X standard. We are also delighted that 4D CONCEPT — like the software industry as a whole — is embracing our modern licensing and exploring the path toward SaaS/subscription models and ARR,” said Michael Jung, Managing Director Sales & Business at RealObjects GmbH.

Yves Mangili, CEO of 4D CONCEPT, commented: “Our collaboration with RealObjects perfectly illustrates our philosophy: integrating high-performance technologies within robust, scalable ecosystems dedicated to complex technical documentation. Beyond reliability and responsiveness, PDFreactor helps us ensure our customers benefit from production chains that combine standard compliance, accessibility, and automation. This partnership contributes to strengthening the leadership of 4D CONCEPT solutions, particularly ADAM Suite and HEYSQUID DITA, in industries where structured content, quality, and interoperability are key drivers of performance.”

RealObjects is recognized as a premium provider of (X)HTML-to-PDF conversion, focusing on PDF/X, PDF/A(UA), cybersecurity, fail-safes, and accessibility. The long-standing collaboration with 4D CONCEPT underscores the success of the partnership and the capabilities of PDFreactor in demanding, regulated industries.
