Features
Cacidi Extreme Suite 6.0 CS2 is the most advanced and yet easy-to-use standard software available for automating graphic design whether producing catalogs, brochures, price lists, business cards, or other single or multipage documents containing text, image, and barcode content. The Extreme Suite offers the obvious advantage of avoiding tedious and repetitive tasks such as copy/paste, formatting text, manually importing and scaling images, and producing barcodes; as well as updating content for future productions. Cacidi Extreme Suite 6.0 CS2 is the tool of choice for businesses with a demand for optimizing time and budget in their graphic production workflow.
Cacidi Extreme 6.0 CS2 offers four different production methods of choice, providing the most suitable production flow for any type of job. The production methods included are: Step 'n Repeat — create a single simple or advanced design with InDesign, save it as an item design, and have Cacidi Extreme automatically produce as many content-variable objects as number of records in the source file. The Step 'n Repeat method is very often used for projects such as business cards, mail merges, price tags, labels, and so on. Predefined — combine as many Cacidi Extreme item designs as desired on a single page or queue of pages (catalogs), and build automated documents totally controlled by the designers' choice of layout. Very often used for brochures and catalogs with a page range from 1 to 50 pages, where the designer's general overview is in charge of the production flow. AutoCalc — allows a production setup partly driven by the designers' full creative freedom combined with a database setup for arranging records in groups. Select predefined InDesign paragraph and character styles and define Cacidi Extreme module use and these settings will enable Cacidi Extreme to automatically disposition and arrange the layout in the InDesign document. The AutoCalc method is very often the better choice for production of extensive catalogs, price list, manuals, brochures, and the like, typically involving from 50 to thousands of pages. Update — this method applies to each of the three previous, as listed above. No matter what type of production method a first build of the document is based, the Cacidi Extreme Update method will — at any time — enable the user to progressively update text, image, and barcode content in the layout as changes apply to the data source. Most Cacidi Extreme customers implement the update method when publishing future editions of their first automated productions.
