I am now working on a PageBot customization to produce 2000 4 pagers a day to an HP Indigo digital press. The result is merchandise mailers with variable recipient, merchandise pictures, descriptions, addressing, store info, sales assoc. etc. This is all customized precisely around the clients desires. This is hardcore fully automated variable print on demand, hands free.
The data files are coming in as tab delimited data dump to a watched network folder. The PageBot takes all incoming data files and flows the variable data to templates, placing, scaling, and cropping 5 variable merchandise pictures unique to each record. The layout is postscripted, distilled and goes to an out folder. The PageBot saves the layouts in case of edit. All files are stored by record number on the server in Quark documents.
The data file will be dumping in at midnight every night, the pdf files will be ready to rip on Indigo by 4 hours from dump. PageBot can process every record to a quality PDF and Quark layout in about 6 seconds! Anybody want a monster page builder like . . .
