Interfacing from Layout-8000™ to your pagination or desktop publishing application
|
|
Layout-8000 interfaces with many proprietary pagination systems (i.e. CCI, Hermes, etc.).
In addition there are interfaces to the leading desktop publishing applications.
There are three tools to choose from- in each case the tool reads Layout-8000’s electronic dummies, imports editorial copy from your paper’s editorial system and places display ads in any recognized format onto pages. All three tools include “Export Geometry” Commands for exporting final geometry to an e-tearsheets or paper checking system, for cases where the final geometry may NOT be what Layout-8000 produced, because paginators sometimes move ads around after the dummies are finalized.
You establish page geometries within your desktop publishing application. Ad locations are reserved on pages and tagged with ad identifiers. After space has been reserved for ads and editorial text and graphics have been filled in, the ads themselves can be placed. With a single command, you pull the completed ads directly into their designated locations
throughout the publication.
Finally, you finish the pagination process and produce completed pages on film or paper with a PostScript® imagesetter.
