STYLE PRESERVATION:
Preserve italic, small cap, and other significant copy formats.
Some magazine
workflows
require
layouts
to be
designed
prior
to receiving
article
text.
And, not
all magazine
designs
lend themselves
well to
style
sheets.
In situations
like this
a designer
might
lose critical
formatting
like
italics
or small
caps when
merging
the live
text with
their
design.
Our style
preservation
solution
preserves
select
formatting
of an
article
as it's
merged
with the
InDesign
page,
so accuracy
is maintained
and duplicate
work
is not
performed.

XML DATA BRIDGE:
Connect InDesign pages to a database or asset management system.
The XML Data Bridge solution connects databases and other data sources
to InDesign in two directions. First, InDesign page data (prices, descriptions,
sku, etc.) can be linked to external data sources, allowing the latest
information to be imported at a moments notice with formats intact. Reversing
direction, sections of the InDesign or InCopy document can be marked and
exported to various database servers or XML files. Additional options
exist to standardize article content for reproduction on the web.
