Infix Server

Infix Server

Infix Server offers unrivalled facilities for automated manipulation of existing PDFs from page imposition to full-on content manipulation.

The unique advantage of the product is that it can seamlessly integrate new content into existing PDF documents – changing images, reflowing and justifying new and existing text.

It also offers full document assembly including insertion/replacement of images or other PDFs – all specified using an XML control file.

It's ideal for use in a web-based PDF editing system such as a corporate stationary management solution.

DO IT YOUR WAY

Some of our customers perform the integration work themselves embedding Infix Server into their publishing systems to produce custom artwork, HR material, brochures and page imposition. As well as offering full documentation we are happy to answer questions about driving the tool from various scripting languages such as PHP.

Others ask us to assist with integration. We've helped create smart web sites for them offering their customers choices of PDF templates and interactive editing of PDF with real-time, in-browser previews.

 

Example Uses

Template Driven PDF Production

Using an existing PDF as a template, Infix server can reflow and justify new text into marked areas as well as replace existing artwork & photographs.

PDF templates can be easily created in a matter of minutes using Infix Pro. All template information is then stored within the instrumented PDF documents. 

One use for this facility is to allow your customers to create their own advertisements on-line. Presented with a selection of example ad-types (PDF templates), users would upload images and text and then instantly review fully print-ready PDF ads generated from their data and template choices.

Easy PDF Template Creation with Infix

 

Infix PDF Editor offers a suite of specialised features for preparing PDF documents for use with Infix Server.

These include defining behaviour for target text and images when replaced by Infix Server (reflow behaviour, fitting, scaling and cropping).

 

Infix also enables the creation of unique ‘elastic’ templates – PDFs that grow to accommodate the dynamic content placed within them. Especially useful for creating display-ad templates into which text can be flowed. Infix Server will intelligently re-size the ad, its borders, artwork, crop and trim boxes to produce a finished ad.
