PReS

PReS is the most powerful and flexible document composition language in the world. It is a software tool for designing and publishing personalized documents for both transactional and direct marketing applications. PReS can also help to integrate current systems and processes within your organisation.

PrintSoft’s document composition, process integration and production automation software suite provides a robust, proven and powerful environment for creating personalized documents, from the simple letter to highly complex transaction-rich statements.

What makes this environment unique amongst leading VDP offerings is that it is based on a language that was designed from the outset to describe the production printing and process automation tasks that are essential to successful VDP production facilities.

The use of the PReS composition language integrates and automates the overall document creation and production process with the requirements of the production environment and CRM environments for optimal, speed, cost and quality. With a language as its core, PReS can take applications further than GUI-centric alternatives in a shorter period of time.

This environment includes productivity-focused GUI tools, such as PReS Designer and Document Builder to enable quick creation of less complicated documents.

PReS generated documents can include variable text, pictures, graphics, barcodes and merge data. Using conditional logic, dynamic documents are created where the entire layout varies with the input, producing documents designed for each individual recipient, rather than a “one-size-fits-all” document. PReS can then format the document for printing on any high-speed printer and for electronic distribution. This enables your documents to be published as printed pages and/or as emails, web pages, PDF documents, SMS messages, XML files and faxes. And full colour can be used to maximise response rates.
