Help & Resources

Yes, adoc Studio Community is completely free, forever. No trials, no feature limitations that expire. You can use all Community features for personal and commercial projects without paying anything.

The yearly subscription ($249.99/year) gives you 2 months free compared to paying monthly ($24.99/month × 12 = $299.88). Both include exactly the same Pro features.

Yes! Every download includes a 14-day free trial of all Pro features. No credit card required. After the trial, you can continue using Community features for free or subscribe to Pro.

Yes. One Pro subscription covers up to 5 devices — your Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Your projects sync via iCloud, and all Pro features are available on every device.

Yes, you can change your subscription type at any time through the App Store. Changes take effect at your next billing date.

Your documents remain yours – they’re standard AsciiDoc files stored locally. You can continue using Community features. Pro exports (PDF, websites) won’t be available, but your HTML export and editing capabilities stay.

Yes. For teams of 5 or more, we offer volume licensing with invoice billing, dedicated onboarding, and migration support. Contact us at enterprise@adoc-studio.app.

Students and educators can request a discount through the App Store’s educational programs. Contact us with your .edu email address for details.

With the release of version 4, existing subscriptions for adoc Studio will be converted to the Pro version. The subscription price for these monthly or annual subscriptions remains unchanged.

adoc Studio exports to HTML, PDF, RTF and Website. The PDF and Website export are only available in the Pro version. All exports use CSS-based product styles for consistent formatting.

Export generates a single output file from your current document. Products (Pro feature) are predefined export configurations that can export multiple documents at once, work with all languages, and can be triggered via command line or Apple Shortcuts.

Yes, through Product Styles. You can choose from included styles or create custom ones using CSS. Product Styles control the appearance of all output formats from a single CSS file.

Make sure you’ve selected the correct Product Style for export. In the Community version, custom styles are ignored and the default factory style is used instead. Check the preview before exporting.

Yes (Pro feature). Use the command-line tool for terminal scripting or Apple Shortcuts for automation. Products can be exported globally without opening the app interface.

Editor styles design the editor. That is, how text and AsciiDoc syntax appear while writing (fonts, colours, syntax highlighting). Product styles control the appearance in preview and output (PDF, HTML, website). You can customise both independently in the settings.

Duplicate an existing product style in Settings, then edit the CSS file with your preferred text editor. Changes update in real-time if adoc Studio is running in the background.

Yes. In Application Settings under “Product Styles,” right-click any product style and select “Set as Default.” This style will automatically be used for new projects and exports.

Check our Styles section in the Support area for downloadable styles. You can also create your own using CSS or hire one of our partners for custom style development.

adoc Studio supports OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini). You need an API key from your chosen provider, which you configure in Settings. Apple’s built-in writing tools are not used.

Pro version offers Friendly, Professional, Concise, Proofread, Table, List, Main Points, Summary, Translate, and Custom Prompt. Results can replace text, insert after selection, copy to clipboard, show differences, or create a new file.

Go to adoc Studio Settings (⌘+,), select your preferred AI provider and model. Enter your API key when prompted on first use. All settings and keys are stored locally on your device.

Yes (Pro feature). If you’ve set up Languages in your project, the AI “Translate” tool will offer those languages. Select text and choose Translate to convert it to another language.

When you use AI tools, selected text is sent to your configured AI provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google) for processing. No data is stored by adoc Studio. Review your provider’s privacy policy for details.

First, define target languages in Project Settings. Then assign languages to individual files using “Add Language” in the context menu. Files appear in the project navigator with country code suffixes (e.g., file.de.adoc for German).

When you assign a language to a file, its content is transferred to the first language. Additional languages don’t auto-copy content – you need to add translations manually or use AI translation. If a file isn’t translated, it’s used across all languages.

Yes. Images, videos, and other media can have language-specific versions. Name them with the language suffix (e.g., diagram.de.png) and adoc Studio will use the correct version for each language export.

The adoc Coach is an intelligent input assistant that provides hints and suggestions as you write AsciiDoc content. It helps you use correct syntax and formatting, making it easier to learn AsciiDoc while working. Open it with the ESC key.

Yes, adoc Studio includes spell checking with support for project dictionaries. In Pro, you can add words to custom dictionaries. In Community, dictionaries exist but custom words are ignored.

Use the Section Navigator in the sidebar to jump between sections. The Search Navigator finds content across your project. The Problem Navigator shows parsing errors. Toggle these in View menu or toolbar.

Yes. Go to Settings > Editor Styles to choose from named themes for light and dark modes. Adjust font, size, line numbers, section folding, line width, and indentation settings under General.

You can open additional windows for a project (File > New Window), allowing you to view different files or sections simultaneously without switching tabs.

Projects are adoc Studio’s organizational system for your documents. They contain your content files, images, components, and styling configurations. Projects make it easy to manage related documents together and maintain consistent styling.

macOS and iOS use sandboxing for security. adoc Studio requires permission to access project files. Manage permissions in Settings under “File Access.” Tip - Register parent folders to reduce permission requests for new files.

Yes, adoc Studio supports referencing external projects and files. This is useful for shared content, reusable components, or organizing large documentation across multiple project files.

Your documents are standard AsciiDoc files stored wherever you choose – locally, in iCloud, or any folder you have access to. adoc Studio doesn’t lock you into a proprietary format or storage location.

Store your project in iCloud Drive to sync between Mac, iPad, and iPhone. All devices with the same Apple ID and adoc Studio installed will see your projects. Pro features require an active subscription on each device.

Yes. Since AsciiDoc files are plain text, they work perfectly with Git and other version control systems. Store your project in a Git repository and use your preferred Git client alongside adoc Studio.
