Native InDesign and PDF ready for press. Ready for print, distribution, or the web.
One product database, every language version generated automatically. Pagination uses InDesign’s native dictionary engine with professional hyphenation in 40+ languages, so each translation flows correctly in the layout. No orphan lines, no broken tables.
Change a product description in your data source, every language version of the catalog reflects the change on the next run.
Pagination handles the same workflow for a 16 page seasonal lookbook or a distributor catalog of 5,000 pages with more than 100,000 SKUs.
Structure generated from your data: sections, chapter breaks, table of contents, alphabetical indexes and product cross references are built from the data structure. Pages are never assembled by hand.
Pierre Frey, the Parisian maison of luxury home textiles founded in 1935, wanted to automate its catalogs without touching its editorial layouts.
Pagination automated its original InDesign templates: the annual catalog, thousands of sample labels and presentation decks are now generated from data, with pages that adapt to each product’s color variants
