Automated publishing with CI HUB and InDesign

Create different documents – easily and automatically

You work in Adobe InDesign and want to create flyers for a whole range of your products, for example? Did you previously copy the InDesign document and revise it manually?

That can also be done more easily. We'll show you how!

Access your data sources directly from Adobe InDesign

With the CI HUB plugin, you can easily connect your DAM or PIM system (or your Dropbox or Google Drive, if required) to your Adobe InDesign with just a few clicks. Benefit from full access to all types of content, such as images, metadata, product information, etc. directly from your documents.

Get started immediately – create in seconds

In your InDesign file, you now select all the required data records from your connected system, and export them as a CSV file. Using «Data Merge» in InDesign, you can now use images and other information from the CSV file directly in your document. The various elements are placed in your basic layout using drag-and-drop and can then be filled automatically. This way you can create advertisements in different designs, with predefined formats, within seconds.

Adapted to your needs

Products with a lot of additional information and media assets can be compiled as individual data sets, products with little data as a «merged document». You determine the number of products and associated assets in a brochure or in advertisements – adapted to your needs.

The layout can be easily customized – more spacing, more columns or rows, no problem and done instantly.

Why is CI HUB interesting for you?

Users who use CI HUB for their publishing work agree: 90% of the functionalities needed for database publishing are excellently covered with CI HUB and a data source such as a powerful DAM system. So is there really a need for a comprehensive publishing suite? If you already use Adobe Creative Suite and a Content Hub or a Product Information Management (PIM) system, you should definitely take a look at the CI HUB plugin for your publishing tasks. It couldn't be simpler.

Another plus: speed. Automated publishing with 2 clicks and the creation of, for example, more than 80 ads with image and text in less than 1 minute speak for themselves.
