If you know WordPress and InDesign, you just needed the title to figure out everything about this site.

If you don’t: WordPress is a pretty good web content management tool and InDesign is a pretty good desktop publishing application to create flyers, magazines and books.

We are offering this free service where you can use WordPress to manage your content and we do the trick for you to import your content in InDesign, with your desired and very consistent style.
The service is free. You can use any WordPress installation.

Currently we are on a development Beta phase, invitation only.

It is possible to apply for invitations writing to indesign-automation@dbcatalist.com or even better, writing something about us on you website/blog. Please specify why you or your content could benefit from our trick. If you are invited we will be happy to support you customizing anything according to your preference.

The document is saved on-line for the download.

Please check WordPress preferences to enable full text feed, in appropriate number.

These settings generate an always-updated XML file at the default RSS address:

The XML file is managed by our InDesign script:
come-funziona-3

The script paginates the InDesign document with information from XML feed. The document is then saved (both in indd and pdf format) and made available for download:
