True WYSIWYG Design
Use "Live" data to see exactly how your documents look and behave to streamline application development.
Data-Driven Objects
Truly dynamic documents driven by data to create effective and personalized documents.
Truely Printer-Neutral
Design once and print to any current or future devices including PostScript, PCL, GDI and more.

Design

True WYSIWYG:

A truly “What you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG) editor allows you to graphically lay out and manipulate both data and form elements at the same time for quick and accurate development and maintenance of print applications. Page through sample data files for real-time proofing with a 100% accurate representation of the ultimate output.

Design once:

Design once for any destination. The Paris Designer allows you to design print applications independently of the device making it easy to distribute the resulting documents to any distributed or production class device as well as to digital.

Output

Performance:

Paris will print to any device at optimum speed - including PostScript, HP-PCL, VPS, PDF and GDI. Unlike many tools on the market, Paris is designed to print transaction applications anywhere, from low speed, distributed printers,through to high-speed production equipment.

Digital:

Automatically deliver perfect electronic PDF or TIFF copies via email or to your document management system including meta-data for EDI and indexing for filing.

eDelivery

Perfect copies:

Generated by the same Engine that produces the print-ready output, electronic output from Paris is guaranteed to be an exact copy. Output as searchable PDF or as a TIFF image then have Paris automatically deliver these documents via email, pushed to your self-service portal, or uploaded to your Document Management System.

Metadata:

Extract the document's meta-data during composition to add value such as index information, address information, or transactional data. Use the extracted meta-data to power new workflows or EDI data interface processes.

Automation

Input & Output:

Paris workflow definitions allow you to define any number of automated workflows. Trigger input events from watched-folders, TCP-IP LPD and more. Output to any physical printer including PostScript, HP-PCL, Windows GDI and more. Deliver electronic copies via email or to your Document Management System.

Process & monitor:

Trigger scheduled actions based on the day and time or on the presence of certain documents. Apply document actions such as mail optimization, merges, sorts and filters. Apply custom  processing using scripts to manipulate the input data. Apply composition rules according to events in the data. Manage print jobs and devices from anywhere.

Manage

Operator console:

The Paris Spooler's operator interface can be accessed securely from anywhere via a web browser for monitoring and maintenance of the Paris document workflows and output devices. Configure user profiles and access levels to enable view-only, job and printer control or full administrator level control.

Any device:

The Paris printer-independent philosophy ensures that operators can move print jobs from one device to another without concern. Operators can remotely pause, restart, move and delete jobs through a simple, responsive user interface available through any browser with no need to install software.

Transform

Convert resources:

The Paris Converter module allows you to convert legacy LCDS resources such as Forms, Fonts, Images and Logos as well as Job Definitions. Resources are converted into generic Paris resources meaning that they can be maintained and enhanced in Paris.

Transform print streams:

Paris can consume your legacy LCDS print streams meaning that there is no need to change your existing processes. Embedded DJDEs are interpreted on the fly and output to any device for a true printer independent solution to your LCDS migration.
