Atomik Xport™ is the fastest and easiest way to get content out of QuarkXPress and into valid XML.

Atomik Xport Enterprise Edition brings tighter third-party integration, enabling Atomik Xport to become an integral component of editorial, workflow and content management systems.

Features

Automatically extracts QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign content as XML
Atomik Xport enables you to automatically extract the contents of documents as structured and valid XML.

Document by document processing
Atomik Xport’s unique Automated Matching System enables the extraction of entire QuarkXPress and Adobe InDesign documents as XML in seconds. For more control, users can manually add or remove content as well.

Automatic image extraction
Atomik Xport extracts image references automatically too. This includes the file name, path and other attributes, thus maintaining the relationship between the text content and the images. Additionally inline image extraction enables image references to maintain their exact geometric position within a text flow.

Support for paragraph and character-level styling
Atomik Xport can identify content using styling at both a paragraph and character level. This enables very granular content extraction. For example it could identify and label an email address within a paragraph of text and assigning it to a specific XML element.

Handles tabular data
By using advanced geometric techniques, Atomik Xport pinpoints the rows and columns in tables, enabling tabular data to be extracted in structured XML table format.

Optional Inclusion of Formatting in XML
A range of formatting information can also be optionally included within the extracted XML. This includes font face, font size, style sheet, bold, italics, underlines and more.

Enhances XML content
Atomik Enhancer enables you to add additional metadata to the extracted XML, automatically change image paths and split bulk XML into individual XML files for each article or other defined element.

Verification of XML document structure
Creates well-formed and valid XML files that conform to a pre-defined DTD and current XML standards.

Preview and proof content
Preview content in Atomik Xport before the XML is created or configure Atomik Xport to create content proofing files of any ignored content.

Server Automation
Atomik Xport Enterprise Edition (available separately) enables automated, batch processing of documents into XML in a server environment. See separate Atomik Xport Enterprise Edition information sheet for further details.

Benefits

Significantly reduce the cost of repurposing print content for the Web
Of course you have always been able to reuse print content online, the problem is that it has largely been a manual process of copying and pasting content from print documents or manually re-keying it. Now with Atomik Xport, the process of repurposing print content for the Web is automated so that it is not just possible but makes economic sense.

Publish legacy content on the web
Now you can maximise the value of your legacy content by reusing it in other media such as on the Web.

Generate new revenue streams through content syndication
Content syndication is a fast growing market. Content publishers around the world are creating new revenue streams by syndicating content to other publishers, corporations and Websites. As the major content syndication protocol, ICE, is XML based, once your content is in XML, the hard work has been done. Now all you need to do is find customers to sell your content to.

Minimise the impact on existing print workflows
Despite the phenomenal growth of the Internet, for most content publishers, print is publishing still brings in most of the revenue. Therefore making sure that the effect on existing print workflows is minimised is of vital importance. As the Atomik Xport extraction process can be applied at any stage of the production process and utilises styling information that is already in existence, the effect on existing print workflows is minimal.

Whether your job is print design, journalism, Web development or anything else for that matter, the advantage of Atomik Xport is that it frees everyone to concentrate on his or her core competencies. No one need spend countless hours copying and pasting text and pictures to move them from one media to the next.
