Dynamic Publishing

RenderX products are capable of assembling large volumes of transactional documents and personalized correspondence from multiple sources for print and electronic output. They help create professionally typeset documentation such as statements, bills, invoices, loan packages and other kinds of personalized mails.

To fulfill any of these tasks EnMasse:Actinia needs to be installed on a server in the network. In addition, several EnMasse XEP Engines could be installed to achieve the required throughput.

EnMasse server has input folder for submission of the documents to be processed; the server converts them into PDF or PostScript and places it the results into its output folder. The documents are ready for distribution either via e-mail or printing. To accelerate sorting of the documents for distribution, bar-codes can be embedded into these documents. The bars are generated by Barcode Library (free download from RenderX).

The templates for the documents can be created in Assentis XSL Design or in Microsoft Word. In the latter case the templates are saved in WordML, and then processed by WordML2FO converter provided by RenderX to generate documents.

If formatting is the only personalization required (e.g. a book shop willing to allow its customers to download e-books in a variety of formats, including PDF) EnMasse:Toaster needs to be installed to convert the source materials on the flight stored in a dedicated database in one retargetable format to a final form. In addition, several EnMasse XEP Engines could be installed to fulfill multiple users' requests simultaneously without any impact on performance.

An application program, working on a separate server, retrieves the source material in its format from the database, sends it to EnMasse, receives back the formatted document and delivers it to the customer.
