Xcatalog, an XTension for QuarkXPress, is a powerful bi-directional linking tool for creating transparent links between QuarkXPress documents and external data. With these links in place, never enter or update data in two places (documents and database), simply update one or the other from the most current version. Once links are established with the easy-to-use linking tool, changes can be made either in the document or the database, and the changes pushed in the other direction with no extra work. (No intermediate steps such as report creation and extraction are needed.) Xcatalog's links are invisible to the printed layout (but visible while working in the document). Linked elements can be moved between documents freely without loss of linkage. Use Xcatalog to update prices, graphics, or product information - even change versions or swap languages - automatically. If you have different pricing regions, use Xcatalog to swap the prices in for each region - automatically. The Pro version of Xcatalog differs from the normal version by offering ODBC support, providing connectivity to databases such as Oracle, Sybase, and SQL Server, as well as (under Windows) connectivity to Access databases and Excel files. Xcatalog has been in production use at hundreds of sites, world-wide, since 1995. It has been steadily improving all these years, based on user feedback. Manufacturer: Em Software Inc. |
