Key Features
- VI Design Express, an Adobe® InDesign® plug-in, is used to generate variable data applications driven by delimited or XML promotional data. Applications can include variable text, images and layers, data driven business graphics, barcodes, fillable forms for data and signature capture from end users, and powerful conditional logic. Output formats include PDF, VPC and VPP.
- VI Design Pro is an advanced tool that can unleash the productivity of your staff as they provide sophisticated and complex variable data applications such as transactional documents (bills, statements, policies).
- VI Compose is a robust composition tool that resides on your printer and constructs your jobs with optimum efficiency, getting print production underway quickly. VI Compose utilises dynamic document construction, merging data and resources at the RIP, eliminating the need for time-consuming pre-composition. VI Compose supports FreeFlow® Print Server-based controllers, FreeFlow Print Server APPE RIPs and external EFI Fiery controllers.
- VI eCompose is a scalable system that can seamlessly compose PDF files from the same data you send to print. VI eCompose supports PDF interactive features, web job submission for use in SaaS environments, and Adobe job security options. It creates master and optional child PDF files and provides a powerful dispatch module to move jobs to the next step in your workflow process (CRM, archiving, etc.). PDF files generated by VI eCompose can also be printed to any Xerox PS or APPE RIP.
- The VI Suite components can enable Xerox speciality imaging text, which provides easy and affordable ways to add unique features to your documents
