Pageflex Studio ID includes an intuitive point-n-click business rule editor for creating if-then-else rules, and support for Adobe ExtendScript when a project requires more complex rules.
“Along with basic variable data features for changing text and images, we’ve incorporated some of the more advanced functionality that existing Pageflex power users love such as centralized project management and our extensive scripting API called Pageflex Actions, which can be used to dynamically manipulate every aspect of an InDesign document on-the-fly,” explains Jeff Perk, Director of Product Management at Bitstream.
Grégoire Poncet, Solution Leader at iware sa, a Pageflex reseller and graphic arts provider based in Morges, Switzerland comments on Pageflex Studio ID by noting: “In the past, you would need at least two design tools to produce graphically rich variable data documents – InDesign for the design and Pageflex for the flexibility and variability. Pageflex Studio ID brings both of those tools together in one powerful resource. I have been impressed with what I was able to produce.”
Pageflex Studio ID also provides a migration path for those customers who want to make their VDP projects available in a Web-to-print storefront now or in the future. Using Pageflex Studio ID, users can prepare variable data templates and projects for use in Pageflex Storefront, the industry-leading and award-winning web-to-print solution. These templates then can be packaged and uploaded to Pageflex Storefront. The files remain in the native Adobe InDesign format throughout the Pageflex Storefront workflow. The templates can come from a Macintosh or Windows version of Pageflex Studio ID.
Pageflex Storefront 7.0 includes integration with Adobe InDesign CS4 Server so that native InDesign documents can be selected, customized, and ordered through a web browser. The templates retain all of the design and variable richness as when they are used directly in Pageflex Studio ID.
