EasyCatalog Lite 4.0.1

Reduce the time to produce publications by linking parts of your document directly to your data
Designed for users with a simple link-and-update requirement, EasyCatalog Lite combines powerful data linking with our trademark ease of use.

EasyCatalog Lite is an entry-level version of our flagship product EasyCatalog and offers the same linking technology that is now being used in over twenty countries worldwide.

The source of your data can be a simple delimited text file or your corporate content management system.

Benefits

Ideal for the production of brochures, price lists, and catalogs, EasyCatalog Lite is capable of saving hours of your production time.

EasyCatalog Lite allows you to link parts of your document directly to your data - instead of having static text and images in your document, they become live links back to the source of your data. This drastically reduces the time taken to produce your publication: re-keying errors are eliminated resulting in increased accurracy and reduced production time.

Last-minute updates? No problem!

Using a direct connection to your database ensures you always have the latest information in your document. Documents can be updated to show the latest data at any point during the production process, ensuring your documents are right up-to-date.

Compatible with EasyCatalog CS2

If you outgrow the functionality of EasyCatalog Lite, we offer a seamless, penalty-free, upgrade to EasyCatalog CS2. All documents created with EasyCatalog Lite are compatible with EasyCatalog CS2 so you won't need to re-link your data.


Main features of EasyCatalog Lite:

Link text and images to your data:

Text and images in your documents become live links to your source data. Images can be imported, scaled and aligned in one easy step; text can be inserted and styled automatically using Character Style sheets.

Keep documents up-to-date:

If your source data changes, documents can be instantly updated at the click of a button. Only fields that have changed will be updated, helping to preserve any formatting that may have been applied to the document.

Connect to ODBC Databases:

Using the optional ODBC Data Provider module, EasyCatalog Lite can import your data from any ODBC-compatible database such as MySQL, FileMaker, Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL Server. A direct connection to your database ensures that you will always have the latest data.

Filter and Search your Data:

EasyCatalog Lite offers a range of filtering and searching features to make finding the records you require easy. Searching by a record's unique identifier is as simple of entering it in the search box at the top of the panel.

Automatically Insert Multiple Records:

Define a simple prototype showing how you want each record to appear and EasyCatalog will do the rest. Using EasyCatalog Lite's filtering features, you can also control which records are inserted. Tables can also be filled with data using the same technique - define a prototype table row and EasyCatalog Lite will populate the table with the data you've selected.
