Based on Arbortext Advanced Print Publisher (APP, former 3B2) Directory Composer (DC) enables publishers to design and produce addressbooks, telephone books, yellow pages and other directories highly automated and in a typographically extremely good quality.
DC imports the information from any kind of editorial or content management systems like SAP/R3, RESUS II or TelePhone. The only requirement is that the information is structured, ideally as XML wellformed or DTD based.
All about the usage of standards in DC:
The formatting process is automized based on a specification individually created by the producer. All known types of advertisements will be placed automatically according to rules including conflict solutions.
The advertisement types and rules for the ad placements:
When the automized formatting process is finished the producer is able to manipulate any page in WYSIWYG as he wants. During this interactive process all links, headers and other references are actualized automatically every time.
TOC, links and other references:
The layout can be defined by an easy to understand and to access graphical user interface. An extensive knowledge of the software APP is not necessary. The standard scope of software delivery includes sample layouts of telephone books and yellow pages.
By using DC you are able to reduce your cost and to increase your turnover. An overview on your advantages:
