Layers Magazine -"The How-To Magazine for Everything Adobe," recently reviewed the industry-leading variable-data software DesignMerge, awarding it 4.5 out of 5 stars!
DesignMerge Pro is a very powerful and sophisticated variable data printing (VDP) and data publishing software package that works directly within the QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign applications. The idea behind DesignMerge is very simple-just take any normal QuarkXPress or InDesign document, and "Make it Variable".
You can use DesignMerge to personalize virtually every aspect of a document, including Variable Text, Graphics, Articles, and even Entire Layouts. DesignMerge also includes a number of advanced VDP features, such as automatic copyfitting, conditional logic programming, bar coding, and multi-up layout support.
