Connect your documents to your data and forget manual updating

  • What if you could have a software robot to flawlessly synchronize your documents’ contents with your data in one click?
  • What if you could stop worrying about product prices and descriptions in your documents being up to date with your database or spreadsheet, and vice versa?
  • What if you could synchronize everything (in either direction) in a matter of seconds or minutes?
  • What if you could drag in pre-fab modules from a library, fill in one key, and have the rest of the module fleshed out for you?
  • What if you could get this robot to work hand-in-hand with a building robot, so that after building, your document was fully linked and ready to synchronize?

You can, with InCatalog and Xcatalog, your synchronizing robots.

InCatalog, a plug-in for Adobe InDesign, and Xcatalog, an XTension for QuarkXPress, with their easy-to-use data linker panels, enable you to create transparent links between your documents and your databases or spreadsheets.

Once you have links in place, you can update prices, graphics, or product information with a simple menu invocation—or even change versions or swap languages.

With InCatalog or Xcatalog, you can rest assured—your documents will always reflect your database contents.
