Automation in publishing
Today’s publishing software offer many opportunities for automation. Crius Group is proficient in writing extensive Word macro's, InDesign scripts and Framescripts. We improve publishing workflows by developing and implementing applications, tools and scripts to enhance manual typesetting. In a more advanced shape we use our knowledge to create completely automated XML publishing engines using different technologies like XSLT, XSL-FO and software like Adobe FrameMaker or Xyvision XPP.
Today we have several degrees of automation that are available to us. Deciding factors are the form and quality of the source file(s), the expected layout and recurrency of the job.
Automated typesetting, publication workflows
As a growing premedia company we have learned to look beyond our own desks and front door. In working with different authors, publishers and organisations we have acquired a lot of experience in defining, setting up and implementing publication workflows.
From developing an authoring template and providing course material for users, to guidance of publishers and production staff. From building a (partially) automated layout workflow, to using XML as an intermediate format or result. The process, starting at content creation and resulting in a publication ready format, can be optimised in numerous ways.
Creating such a (semi-)structured and automated environment allows efficient publishing and drastically cuts your time-to-market and production costs.
Automatic typesetting, XML/SGML layout
Software like XPP, 3B2, Structured FrameMaker and Adobe Indesign aswell as XSL-FO technology give us the opportunity to create high standard printable documents without any manual intervention at all. Combined with a scripting or programming effort these possibilities are leveraged even more.
Database or CMS fed publication of XML and SGML can be set up in such a way that you will be able to deliver your content not only swift and correct but also visually appealing and clear.
