WoodWing Connection Pro 4 for InDesign PD40CA Manuel D’Utilisation

Turn  Smart  Catalog  into  a  catalog

creating  robot.  This  powerful  module
exposes the Smart Catalog automation

interface,  providing  access  to  all  the

core  functions  through  standard
scripting.  Imagine  creating  a  product
catalog  from  scratch.  Just  have  your
designer  create  the  layout  and  styles

in  InDesign,  then  have  your  IT  or

WoodWing representative set up the

creation process.

The  creation  of  links,  the  adaptation

of styles to the layout and the update

process  can  be  controlled  through
Smart Catalog Robot, using Applescript

on  Mac,  Javascript  or  any  scripting

language  on  Windows.  And  because

the automation logic is separate from
the  layout,  it  is  easy  to  upgrade  the

script without having to tear the layout
apart or change a design without also
making changes to your script.

Add  powerful  product  presentation

functionality  with  the  famous  Smart
Layout. Smart Layout is a perfect time-

saver that allows you to create product
presentation  templates  with  multiple

text and image items. (see page 12)

With Smart Layout 4 you can create a

set of product presentations and store

them into a standard InDesign library.
Creation of your catalog is now a matter

of dragging template presentations from

the library, linking them with a single

click  to  the  correct  products  and  all

product fields will update automatically.
Instead  of  spending  your  time  on

a  lot  of  copying,  pasting  and  more
repeating actions. You no longer need

to waste time on the technical aspects

of  production,  Smart  Catalog  allows

you to focus on the real design of your
publication!

Smart Catalog can be purchased as a

cost-effective bundle including the basic

version and the modules Database, XML,

Robot, Layout and Styles.
