eDATALABS - E-Publishing - Digital Data Processing

Digital Data Processing
Typesetting / Composition Specialization in typesetting software such as TEX, LATEX, QuarkXpress, 3B2, PageMaker, FrameMaker and Corel Ventura are our exceptional traits among others. We have developed a new program which will convert XML / SGML / Math ML files to printable PDF directly. This is specially very useful in journal production where single source publishing is a key factor. We also undertake projects on TEX or LATEX with client-provided style/class files. In-house style files and class files can also be developed on specific client needs. TEX is platform-independent and is ideal for heavy mathematical and scientific settings. We use Quark for magazines and books that are heavily designed and illustrated. We also have extensions for tables and math settings on Quark. Inputs are accepted in the form of author's disks or hard copies (scanned/ typed). The output is provided according to the client's specification either in the form of postscript files, PDF files, 1200 dpi laser printouts. The general turn around for typesetting is 4 weeks for books from receipt of manuscripts and 8 days for Journals. Review : Mathematical typesetting using TEX and LATEX Pagination using QuarkXpress, 3B2, PageMaker, FrameMaker+SGML, Corel Ventura etc. Adaption of SGML/XML compliant typesetting software to allow automated batch pagination. Consultancy services for the development of electronic publishing solutions. Copy editing services in English for STM and Humanities. Output in the form of postscript, PDF, laser.
