Altova Authentic® 2008 is a free WYSIWYG XML authoring tool that allows technical writers, documentation specialists, and business users to view and edit XML and database content without being exposed to the underlying syntax. XML documents are created and edited in electronic forms via a sophisticated word processor-style interface, based on structured stylesheet designs. Authentic is ideally suited for use as the user interface element of XML-based content management systems, document frameworks, and enterprise collaboration workflows.

The Authentic user interface allows users to capture, view, and update structured information directly via intuitive, customizable electronic forms. Authentic e-Forms are designed and easily modified using Altova StyleVision® 2008.
