Any Macintosh or Windows user with Adobe InDesign CS and a flat-table data file can complete a Variable Data Print (VDP) document independently -- no programming is required. A simple Rule Editor is supplied if the conditional logic is desired. Creates an industry-standard VI output file for printing on a digital press.
uDirect Professional has VDP for designer, plus uPlan, an advanced programming tool for variable-data projects where data comes from multiple sources or complex business logic is required. It can optionally add uImage for Image personalization and uChart for data-driven chart.
uImage generates and includes rich, breathtaking, image personalization effects with variable data publishing. Adobe Photoshop users can create powerful, visually rich, personalized images and graphics, and seamlessly merge them into XMPie variable publishing, in printing or online.
uChart provides the ability to create data-driven variable charting within variable data documents. With a simple double-click, variable tabular information can be displayed as pie, bar, area, or line charts to which a user can assign standard attributes such as legends, fonts, and colors. uChart makes references to the color palette of InDesign to maintain color consistency and offers true WYSIWYG proofing throughout the design process. |
