Typefi Desktop

Typefi^® Desktop is a single-user version of the world-class, leading automated composition solution Typefi Publish. Typefi Desktop can fully automate the page composition of content authored in Microsoft^® Word using Typefi Writer or in XML using a third party application.

Integrated with Adobe^® InDesign, Typefi Desktop is a single-user product that delivers automated yet highly flexible design, composition and pagination for documents of any length, at an affordable cost.

Typefi Desktop enables publishers to use familiar authoring tools such as Microsoft Word or XML applications for creating and editing content, and then to flow that content into Adobe InDesign to create highly-designed and richly-formatted documents automatically — streamlining production without compromising quality.

Typefi Desktop is a single-source publishing solution — the same source Word or XML file is used in automated production of multiple output formats: not only press quality print files but also alternative print formats such as large print, and digital formats such as EPUB, HTML and DAISY.

Typefi Desktop is unique because it is built as a scriptless publishing platform that doesn't require costly programming or extensive knowledge of XML.

Typefi Desktop can be installed and running within your publishing process within a matter of days, providing you with an immediate return on investment.

How it Works

Typefi Desktop is a single-user design-driven page composition product, based on Typefi Publish – the world's leading proven publishing automation solution.

Using XML content submitted via a simple web interface, or directly from Microsoft Word, Typefi Desktop composes high-quality print and digital output using intelligent, design-driven rules and templates that regular graphic designers create and manage — all without sacrificing design quality or requiring complex programming.

Designers – Using the Typefi Designer plug-ins for Adobe InDesign, designers add automation intelligence to existing or new InDesign templates.

Because the design layout rules are embedded directly within the template — no external coding or scripting required — Typefi Desktop enables incredibly fast turnaround of template changes and adjustments.

Editors – Using Microsoft Word and the Typefi Writer plug-in, editors can transparently create highly structured and consistent XML content within a familiar authoring environment. Then, at the click of a button, Typefi Publish converts the content into press-ready PDF, EPUB or HTML and fully editable InDesign documents.
