Description

2imagine On-Premises Model (Optional Modules)

Optional Modules expand the publishing power of the 2imagine On-Premises Model

2imagine is the intersection where designers, brand owners, and end-users meet. 2imagine is a browser-based, WYSIWYG editor for Adobe™ InDesign™ and Illustrator™ documents. With 2imagine, users don’t need to know anything about Adobe’s complex user interface and functions. Users can add or replace content with their own content, but the template and its design and styles stay protected. 2imagine reflects a major savings in design time and production costs, and standardises the creation of the documents your customers need to print. Offer your customers the ability to quickly and easily create business cards, letterhead, data sheets, flyers and brochures in any browser with no design or layout skills required.

Additional Modules:
• Variable Data Publishing (based on Easycatalogue from 65bit)
• DAM systems (Canto Cumulus or Picturepark)
• eCatalogues (page flip – FSI server)
• PIM system for management product data

Upload images from your local desk or browse through integrated DAM systems such as Woodwing Elvis, Canto Cumulus, Picturepark, DC-X and more. Users can insert these with drag & drop, scale, crop, rotate, change transparency, etc.

The best online editor for the job!

You have the choice between 3 ways of editing Adobe InDesign & Illustrator documents:
– Choose WYSIWYG for rich text and graphic editing
– For more structured and controled editing, set the template (or object) to the FORM editor
– And in case of translation work, we recommend using the TRANSLATOR editor
