With FinerEdge Publisher, you can drive the automatic creation of customized documents (product catalogs, legal contracts, reports, Web-based reports, manuals and more) entirely from the web with both Web-to-Print and Web-based Reporting solutions from FinerEdge Publisher.

Both the Web-to-Print and Web-based Report Writer solutions enable you to:

• Allow you users to customize their own documents (e.g., reports), and even brand the generated documents with their organization's titles, logos, etc.
• Automatically produce variable layout documents with up-to-date information pulled from your data stores based on user data input
• Produce updated customized technical or sales information to internal staff quickly
• Instantly provide custom catalog or directory content to consumers over the Web
• Communicate to different target markets customized and personalized marketing communications
• Use consumer data input to instantly provide high-end marketing communications to consumers over the Web

With FinerEdge Publisher, you will constantly be providing the right information to the right people at the right time, everyday.

• After documents templates have been created, front-end forms (questionnaires, surveys, etc.) can be easily created for the document templates by using FinerEdge Publisher's WYSIWYG form designer built into the IDE
  
  
• Controlling processes are automatically created to drive document generation from the information collected by the front-end forms
  
  
• The controlling processes, front-end forms, and document templates can be easily checked for "correctness" from within the IDE
  
  
• A single push of a button will generate the entire process, form, and document template "package" as web-compatible Active Server Pages (ASP) and Java Server Pages (JSP)
  
  
• With a single push of a button you can also generate the entire process, GUI form, and document template "package" to provide enterprise users the same publishing experience as on the Web
  
  
• Web-to-Print packages are automatically deployed for subsequent "live" web-based testing

• Data source templates are created and controlled by site administrators and authorized document authors
  
  
• External users sign-on onto their own "workspaces", which can subsequently access the templates created by the site
  
  
• Using only standard browsers (i.e., no plug-ins needed), users customize the templates and save their own personal copy into their private workspaces.
  
  
• Customization of templates includes the selection of the columns of information to be shown, the ordering of the columns, filters that further constrain which records of information to show, formatting themes that are applied to the individual queries of a the saved templates, and additional customized information such as headers, footers, etc.
  
  
• Users can then generate output documents from their saved templates in any of the supported multi-channel output formats.
  
  
• Saved templates can be easily retrieved by users, and the output documents again regenerated anytime the data source information changes
  
  
• Saved templates can also be further updated, copied, or deleted as a user's needs change
