IGP:FLIP

IGP:FLIP + IGP:Document Designer redefines publishing production in every way. 

IGP:FLIP will slash your production costs, shorten time to market...

AND GIVE YOUR CONTENT A REAL DIGITAL FUTURE.

IGP:FLIP has all the tools for complete publisher production workflow. Author, edit, and generate a press ready PDF, eBook formats and Online edition from a single environment.  The powerful Online collaboration environment means no file has to move. All project participants can login and access the file from anywhere, at anytime.

Online Collaboration

Now: Authors, Editors, Designers, and typographers can all work on the same document at the same time.

Until IGP:FLIP, collaborative editing was an MS-Word (or OpenOffice) document with Track Changes turned on. Files moved between project team members and only one person could edit at a time. 

Import Manuscript - XML Ready

Import a styled manuscript, and you XML is instantly ready to output to PDF, e-books and other formats. Just think about it, that is about five minutes from manuscript to XML generated outputs. 

Instant Outputs Ready Always

IGP:FLIP is an XML state machine. That means any changes you make instantly reflect in all of the outputs. No extended processing and modifications.

Custom Book Design

With the integrated IGP:Document Designer every book can have a custom design in just minutes. With design profiles you can create multiple designs.

New Editing Paradigms

Editing is WYSIWYM - What You See Is What You Mean. This is a necessary paradigm shift for multi-format editing where WYSIWIG presents just one expression of the work.

Power Tools for Publishing

For Editors - Instant changes, Inline Notes, Infinite Revision Tree

The effect of every edit is instantly viewable. The edit mode allows comments to be inserted that will not appear in the output formats, but is always there for the team to view.

IGP:Reader/Writer maintains any number of edits or revisions. Revisions can all be compared with changes to the current active version, any previous revision can be promoted to active, and nothing is lost. When editing, flow and design are complete, the revision tree can be flattened. 

For Designers - Anytime Stylesheet updates

IGP:Document Designer lets you focus on the job of design and not worry about the XML and CSS technology. Using IGP:Document Designer you book design can be interactively updated at any time without interrupting ongoing editing processes.

For Flow Editors - in built interactive flow control

Flow Editing - that's the digital content equivalent of typesetting. Because templates are predefined, but content isn't, it has to be controlled for the final rendering. Instead of moving to an external typesetting application, advanced flow modification can be carried out by anyone from the editing interface.

Expect all the usual print controls.

• Page margins, galley and running headers and footers;
• Font faces, size and leading with character and word spacing at the document and chapter level, plus of course widow and orphan processing; 
• Generated content such as Contents, figure lists plus chapter, section and figure automated numbering;
• Metadata generated title pages, but fully customizable of course;
• Precise control over floating elements such as figures, tables, noteboxes, icon paragraphs and sidebars.
• Tracking and hyphenation.

For Sales - Multiple formats released simultaneously

Product releases can be more frequent, and multiple format releases can be carried out at the same time. Eliminate the extra cost of processing files for multiple PDFs, eBooks, Online editions and other speciality packages such as SCORM.

Create custom editions of any book or document with ease. Localize copies for multi-market penetration in just days, not months...
