Launched in 2003, EasyCatalog is trusted by thousands of users in over thirty countries across six continents. EasyCatalog increases InDesign productivity by providing dynamic, two-way, linking of data from a CSV file, XML structure or ODBC database to text and images in InDesign documents. By importing data directly into InDesign, errors are reduced and the accuracy of documents is increased. If the source data changes - such as last-minute price updates - the document can be updated automatically.
EasyCatalog also offers semi-automatic and automatic creation (using the optional Pagination Module) of structured documents.
EasyCatalog is available for InDesign CS2, CS3 and CS4. The CS2, CS3 and CS4 versions are localized in English, French and German.
Optional modules for EasyCatalog are also available:
- The ODBC Data Provider enables EasyCatalog to connect directly to ODBC-compatible databases.
- The Pagination Module provides automatic creation of structured documents.
- The XML Data Provider allows EasyCatalog to import XML data from a file or URL.
- The Scripting Module adds scriptability to EasyCatalog, allowing it to be automated from Javascript, Applescript or Visual Basic.
- The new Relational Module allows users to work with complex, relational, data structures. It also provides the ability to import SQLite databases into EasyCatalog.
