InDesign Automation of Personalized Books
Our customer had an existing workflow of creating books which involved a lot of manual steps, our job was to automate the whole cycle so that the customer gains on time and accuracy in its work.
In this project, a user of the software submits a set of photographs which then a designer sitting in the office merges with existing InDesign Template. The designer is responsible of choosing the right template, then making sure we has the right set of layers switched on and merge the pictures. On completion of merge he publish the InDesign document as a PDF for review.
We worked with our customer and automated this whole process to eliminate the requirement of Designer and have this whole process automated.
Automation of batch merge InDesign Document to produce brochures
In this project our customer has a set of InDesign Templates which are to be merged with Text and Pictures to create brochures. Existing workflow at client side involved a manual process where a Designer does this merge and makes sure the InDesign has the require fonts and more. On completion he generates a low res PDF for review. On approval a High Res PDF is generated and sent for Production.
We were assigned the job of automating the whole process. Our suggested automated workflow took a fraction of the amount of time it used to take and eliminated the need of having someone manually do the merge.
Automated Pagination in InDesign
In a typical NewsPaper Production, individual blocks such Advertisement, Articles, Classifieds are built independently. We developed an InDesign Plug-in to automate the placement on these individual elements on an InDesign newspaper or magazine page. The Plug-in talks to the database and fetches information required to know what and where the blockers needs to be placed and automatically places the items at the right location.
