Automated page composition

For larger projects, we automate the complete page creation cycle including: picking up original MS WORD and graphics data from FTP; conversion to XML; importing and quality checking of graphics; importing and quality checking of text; ensuring picture calls and pictures supplied are consistent; then if Quality Assurance checks are passed, do the page formatting; create any indexes and tables; and create PDFs.
A complete book can be assembled, and any automatic indexes created with a set of PDFs that are ready for press.

Advantages

• The page composition process can become a cost effective rapid process creating professionally formatted pages from Word files.
• Pages look exactly as they will print, so an exact page extent is known earlier.
• Authors corrections are reduced dramatically.
• Use of XML for Spin off publications are easy to create.
  
  

Software partners

David Lewis XML Associates
For twenty years the team has been providing database publishing services for print, and with the advent of online publishing over the Internet, the skills have translated easily into the world of multi-media publishing.
The future success of non fiction publishing requires information to be held in a well structured database, and from that data, pages for print must be formatted quickly and efficiently, and from that same data there must be a feed to online pages. Rapid formatting of complex pages for print is perhaps the most difficult of the tasks needed for multi-media publishing, but that has long been a specialty of David Lewis XML Associates.
