Cross Channel Publishing
with PageZephyr Search

Cross-Channel Publishing without the native DTP layout applications used to create native files? Need a content search application? Is your content under lock and key? Do you feel like you need to break free and let your content flow with freedom? Markzware’s content search application for cross-media publishing can help:

Markzware‘s content search application for desktop publishing (DTP) allows you freedom to liberate your data. PageZephyr Search provides advanced desktop search for cross-channel publishing, or cross-media publishing.

PageZephyr Search can search InDesign CS and search InDesign CC. That can be a lot of desktop publishing content, which can help you to take control of your data. Search InDesign files in INDD file formats for DTP. Then, use the found text to create content for cross-channel publishing.

Here is a great review on PageZephyr by Erik Vlietinck of IT-Enquirer.com. The review is well worth the read, for it goes beyond the standard “what is” to useful “how to” information on cross-media publishing:

Finding content in layout documents with PageZephyr
“…I found there’s actually a lot more to PageZephyr than meets the eye, and some of this could change cross-channel publishing in more than one way.

PageZephyr’s Preferences have an option to show document styles, which actually works quite well.

The first thing that I noticed is that you can edit the stories that make up the layout documents…

The second thing is that PageZephyr behaves like a good Mac OS X citizen, i.e. you can drag text snippets from PageZephyr and drop them anywhere you like, including a form in Safari. This allows you to use PageZephyr as a semi-automatic online publishing utility…”
