Features
Automatic publishing using a 'template' for your records
Inside your XPress document, use bracketed names to identify each incoming field (e.g., < >), and style each field with appropriate text and paragraph attributes. Interleave static and dynamic text and pictures, include, exclude, and move fields around as desired.
Ease with power
Xdata is easy enough to use for simple jobs, and powerful enough for the toughest projects.
Accepts pre-sorted tab- or comma- delimited data files
Create exports from your Mac OS or Windows database, spreadsheet applications (Excel), or downloaded from your corporate information systems.
No limits on your data
Use as many fields and records, with each being as long as needed, within the overall limits of XPress documents.
Sophisticated picture importing and sizing
Import related graphic images (of any type supported by XPress) into picture boxes anchored in the incoming text (flowing with the text). You can size the image to the picture box or the box to the image using one of several sizing options.
Variables
Calculate and store information for later use in the prototype, or for use in later records.
Conditional statements
Create more sophisticated record templates that apply different formats to a field, based on its or another field's value. With this feature, for example, you can print heads and subheads only when they change, or generate a page break, given a change of value indicating a new section or subsection.
Repeat loops
Loop over data elements (character or words or lines), looking for particular information, or even repeat whole portions of the prototype.
Automated headers and footers
Create multiple, independent 'dictionary-style' headers and footers on each page or spread, with sophisticated controls over the header/footer contents.
Multiple master pages
Based on incoming data, use different page layouts by applying master pages.
Scriptable
Script Xdata under Mac OS for automation of repetitive single jobs, as well as large, complex jobs involving multiple imports in multiple documents.
Supports Xcatalog
You can build your templates with Xcatalog variable links embedded. Later, using Xcatalog, you can update fields in place from updated data, or extract any document updates to your data.
