Newspaer publishing, magazine publishing or even running a local news site as a home based business is complex and diverse, with as many ways of doing it as there are publishers. Most print publishers will agree that the only stage common to all of them is the creation of the PDF, which is sent to the printers. Beyond that there appears to be no common ground. Some take articles via email, others work with heavy duty content management systems that carry content to all outputs, radio, print, TV etc. Libraries are created online or on hard drives. Production then mines these libraries and drops content into programmes like Indesign and Publisher.

Sending a publication to press is a BIG DEAL. After all the pressures and deadlines, who wants to then spend half a day updating their website with this content?

Wouldn't it be wiser to simply take the common point, the PDF, and enable publishers to trawl through these documents, selecting articles they would like to see on their websites, and at the press of a button export these to the live site? EzyMedia already provides a seamless content management system that runs concept to web to print, encouraging journalists to get rid of Word documents and write content directly into the CMS (content management system). But, this is a BIG step for most.

EzyMedia has now launched its PDFT, or PDF Trawler. This world-first software will scan any standard PDF and allow the user to select sections, mark content and export this to their website! Imagine being able to keep your website up to date with 50+ articles each cycle, in a matter of minutes!!

Please note, you need Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.1 or later to operate this technology.
