InData/Xdata bring the full layout, design, typographic and picture publishing power of InDesign/QuarkXPress to bear on all your data-driven repetitive publishing tasks.

Simply put, InData/Xdata work like a mail merge on steroids. You create a template in a normal document, with rules that tell it how to format your text and graphics. Then, with a single menu invocation, the plug-in builds your document at jaw-dropping speeds–up to hundreds or even thousands of pages per hour.

control your design and layouts
Use your publishing platform’s typographic controls for each variable field and for any static text, to get just the right look for your data.

InData/Xdata have a powerful English-like scripting language. You can put any field from your data source in any order in the text flow, force page breaks, generate headers/footers, apply master pages as needed–and lots more.

control your content
Use InData/Xdata’s scripting language to build simple or complex rules for including or excluding fields, pictures and static text. And there are no limits on your data: records and fields can be as many and as long as you need.
