DesignMerge Pro

Friday 31. October 2008 - The latest in variable data software, DesignMerge Pro from Meadows Publishing Solutions is an award-winning suite of software for the desktop publishing applications QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign.

DesignMerge allows users to create customized 1:1 marketing documents by linking a QuarkXPress or InDesign document to a database file. Each copy of a printed document can be personalized, changing items such as name, address, graphics or layouts. The entire process is database-driven, completely flexible and very easy to use.

The product is menu-driven, and works with any QuarkXPress or InDesign document, allowing the user to create pre-defined “placeholders,” which are designated to receive variable data. DesignMerge can import text, picture or article information from practically any data source, and merge that information into QuarkXPress or InDesign layouts to produce unique, personalized output.
