FusionPro Desktop is an easy-to-use Adobe Acrobat plug-in that lets you create
variable-data documents from your desktop. It brings template design,
data-file definition, business logic, and print-stream creation together
in one cross-platform package.
|
PDF workflow
FusionPro Desktop works by allowing you to add
personalized text, variable graphics, bar codes,
and data-driven charts & graphs (such as pie charts and bar charts)
to a PDF file. You can use virtually any software to create the basic
design for your document
— for example, Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress or even
Microsoft Word. Save it in PDF format and you're ready to start using
FusionPro Desktop.
The built-in PDF support is a real time-saver if
you receive master documents from
sources outside your company — for example,
from customers — because you don't have to
re-create the documents in-house.
|
Integration with QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign
If you do decide to use Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress,
you'll be able to take advantage of some extra features.
For example, the formatting you create in Adobe InDesign
or QuarkXPress will be carried over into the PDF file,
and you can use that same formatting in FusionPro Desktop
for variable text.
Note that you are NOT REQUIRED to use InDesign or Quark — it's optional.

FusionPro Direct allows you to automate your
production workflow for variable-data documents
without doing any programming.
Ideal for large or complex variable-data jobs, FusionPro Direct can be installed
in minutes.
|
You utilize FusionPro Direct in conjunction with
FusionPro Desktop. It works like this:
You use FusionPro Desktop's drag-and-drop system to create a
template (layout) for your variable-data job; then you copy
the required files to a hot folder on the server
that's running FusionPro Direct.
Each time you need to use that template to create
variable-data documents, just put a new data file into the
hot folder, and FusionPro Direct will compose the documents
and create the output file in the format specified
in the template.
FusionPro Direct can automatically e-mail production personnel
when composition is complete and can also put the finished file into a
RIP folder, giving you a completely automated, "hands-off"
production workflow.
