imageWARE Publishing Manager

Canon imageWARETM Publishing Manager 2003 and Publishing Manager Professional Editions are client-based desktop publishing solutions that simplify the creation of business documents such as catalogs, manuals, brochures, direct marketing pieces, etc. Both versions enable users to combine multiple documents from various sources—Microsoft Office files, graphic applications, PDFs, or scanned documents and images—to form one single document. Users can apply a number of editing, page imposition, and finishing capabilities to their newly combined documents, create and format chapters, write annotations, and insert images and variable data from databases on the document for even greater personalization. Pages and chapters can be renumbered and stamped with watermarks or alphanumeric headers and footers for Bates Stamping. The ability to preview print jobs with finishing settings allows for quick visual proofing.

Publishing Manager Professional Edition has numerous additional features to improve document workflow and productivity in POD environments that process a high volume of paper-based documents. Import features such as Push-Scan technology scanning from compatible imageRUNNER devices combined with Hot Folder technology for pre-import document configuration and an Image Editor module eliminate manual tasks involved with professional document creation. As a member of the imageWARE Suite, both Publishing Manager 2003 and Publishing Manager Professional Editions can be integrated with Canon imageWARE Document Manager
