BatchXSLT for InDesign (Windows) 1100C1 makes it easy to Export InDesign to general purpose XML and HTML. Create flip page eBook web site with full-text search with a click. Converts document content and original high resolution images for the re-use in web applications. The exported data may be used and viewed as is as flip page eBook. The data is plain understandable XML, it may be used for any other purpose like database archives, to distribute on a CD or to create a dedicated output format.

AiEDV.ch and ePaperArchives.com announce the next version of a tool in the category "XML and ePaper Software" for publishers.

Convert InDesign documents to understandable XML and HTML with a mouse click. View and navigate as a flip page e-book website in any Browser.

Cost-efficiency, quality, flexibility and speed are most important to all editors when publishing InDesign document content on the Internet.

BatchXSLT for InDesign's main purpose is to significantly reduce manual work needed to create text and image content suitable for web and database applications. No endless configuration process to extract text and no need to manually convert original images to JPEG. «BatchXSLT for InDesign» knows how to merge a newspaper's text elements to articles, how to convert high resolution EPS and TIFF images to JPEG and how to associate them to articles.

Major Features:

• The resulting XML and HTML files may directly be viewed in a browser and may be navigated as a flipping pages ePaper! This flip paper is based on plain XML (or HTML) and JavaScript and therefore is more flexible than those based on Flash. The very rich tagged XML output contains enough information for any web, e-paper, database or CD application.
• Viewing exported data as a flip-book is nothing more than one out of many possible display modes. Three different view modes are integrated to display exported XML data as a flipping pages e-book, as a 'single pages' ePaper or as an XML tree. The exported data structure stays the same.
• Several options may be configured to set the size of the flipping book, to create active links from www-addresses and from Hyperlinks contained in the original document. Furthermore the Javascript and XSL source code may be edited to change the behavior of a flipping e-Book.
• Stories, spread over multiple pages, may automatically be split at a page boundary. This enables consumers to read novels, scientific papers and any other story in a page per page mode.
• «BatchXSLT for InDesign» is a powerful, flexible and expandable XML Transformer.
• According to requirement, XML programers may create their own target format from the intermediary well structured XML file format. Like this, virtually an unlimited number of output formats may be created to match a user's needs. Starting at dedicated HTML, XML, RTF and any other text based format up to a direct transfer into a database. All this may be achieved by creating and adding own XSL style sheets and external Java functions or libraries.

• There are an unlimited number of ways to deliver XML and HTML data to end-consumers. One possible way is as an ePaper (e-book) and is shown at the ePaper demo site at www.ePaperArchives.com. This site demonstrates a database-aided ePaper system including active shop connections, fulltext-search over multiple objects and more.
• This is the direct output data produced by «BatchXSLT for InDesign». The most cost-effective solution to publish a filp page eBook: simply by copying the exported content on a web server or a CD and place a link to the HTML eBook file.

• A widely held belief expresses, that InDesign already provides the tools and software to create XML, JPEGs or HTML. And the answer is: It does. However, in almost all cases this is by far not enough: labor- and cost-intensive.
• Explained on a real world example when a daily newspaper has to be published on the Internet:
• The starting position is always identical: Any number of document pages containing images attached to articles have to be converted.
• The demands of subsequent applications is identical in most cases: An XML file representing the document's content - the articles - including to articles attached images as JPEGs. Furthermore, according to requirements, all pages as JPEGs and as PDFs.
• InDesign provides the tools to easily create JPEGs and PDFs from pages, and, with a lot of work for each document, the textual information may be exported to XML.
• InDesign does not provide the tools to export a document as a whole. This is absolutely essential – especially for web applications.
  

4. «BatchXSLT for InDesign» exports a document as a functional unity.

• The resulting XML and HTML output file contains information about articles content (text styled by an external CSS), to articles attached images, article positions on the page (most important for ePaper applications), linked page JPEGs and page PDF, a linked and editable external Cascading Style Sheet.

Requirements:

• «BatchXSLT for InDesign» runs on any computer like Windows, Unix, Mac OSX with Java 1.5 or newer and with InDesign CS4, CS3 and CS2

Viruses can be accidentally received through disks, bulletin boards, email, local networks, and the Internet. VirusScan offers virus detection, removal, and support services to remedy this problem. The program scans all system areas, including local and network drives, CD-ROMs, floppies, boot sectors, file allocation and partition tables, files, and compressed files. It cleans most virus infections from files, master boot sectors, partition tables, and memory, returning them to a virus-free state. Version 5.0 features a new user interface, support for Windows Millennium, new Quarantine and Safe & Sound utilities, incremental DAT file updates, and a new Installation Configuration Assistant.
