Easypress introduces an Adobe InDesign CS2 version of their flagship XML export product

LONDON – January 22nd, 2007 - In response to customer demand Easypress has today announced the availability of a new version of Atomik Xport for Adobe InDesign CS2. This new offering adds powerful enhancements that enrich the creation and export of Extensible Markup Language (XML) from Adobe InDesign and is an important step in Easypress Technologies' continuing strategy to become the leading global supplier of XML technology and software to the desktop publishing market.

Atomik Xport is Easypress Technologies leading XML software plug-in for magazine, newspaper and journal publishers who want to combine the rich design and layout environment of Adobe InDesign CS2 with the dynamic world of online XML content. This out-of-the-box solution streamlines XML extraction workflows, making it easy for publishers to quickly export complex page-layouts to fully tagged and structured XML content which in turn can be fed into content management or Web publishing systems with relatively little effort. It also allows editorial and design staff to create accurate XML based on natural text attributes rather than on text formatted exclusively using character and paragraph styles.

James Macfarlane, Easypress Technologies Founder and CTO, said, “After listening carefully to our large publishing client’s needs and their demands to create integrated multi-channel publishing platforms for their businesses, Easypress has taken the important step of porting its flagship Atomik Xport product to work with Adobe InDesign CS2 for both Mac OSX and Windows XP clients. Customers can now create fully tagged XML directly from InDesign CS2 documents with 100% accuracy. By using our smart Atomik Xport engine Adobe InDesign users gain a number of distinct benefits over their current XML extraction tools in Adobe InDesign CS2, including lightning-fast extraction of XML from complex InDesign CS2 layouts, simple easy-to-use interfaces and higher levels of automation to support XML extraction as part of their production workflow process.”

Charles Delamain, CEO for Easypress Technologies, said, “Easypress is committed to working closely with customers to provide the XML technology they need in order to be successful in their multi-channel publishing efforts. With this release we are taking a much overdue step to support the Adobe InDesign CS2 platform. To remain competitive and support our customers' needs we must be capable of supporting the Adobe InDesign software layout platforms as part of our mainstream product offering. We remain committed to providing best-of-breed solutions that support the broad range of publishing technologies used by our customers."

“Adobe InDesign is fast-becoming the industry standard for page layout and design all around the world,” said Will Eisley, Group Product Manager for Adobe Creative Suite Layout & Illustration Products. “With the introduction of Easypress’ Atomik Xport for InDesign CS2, the growing list of publishers and designers worldwide who have switched to InDesign can now more easily repurpose their print content for web, mobile and content management systems.”
