Electronic Publishing With Mathcad

Mathcad's WYSIWYG environment allows you to do much more than calculate, Mathcad allows you to convey ideas with mathematics, graphs, text, and other supporting media. Once you've finished your work, you will probably want to share it with others. You have several options for distributing Mathcad-generated documents in formats retaining the live-math properties of Mathcad.

  • You can assemble your Mathcad documents into a Mathcad E-book with all the information of a printed page plus all the interactive math tools available in Mathcad. These E-books can be distributed to anyone who has a copy of Mathcad in the same or higher version as the one in which the book was saved.
  • You can assemble your Mathcad documents into a web site using Save As HTML. Web files do not allow users to interact with the math online, but they are able to see all of your calculations and graphs as they appear in your files without needing their own copy of Mathcad.
  • If you have a copy of the Mathcad Calculation Server on your IIS Web Server, you can run Mathcad worksheets live online for anyone who has a browser, allowing them to recalculate by changing any variables defined as Web Controls.
  • Using the XMCD file format (XML), you can transform your worksheets into any format that can be created using an XSLT transform.
