Typing text blocks
Each block gets a role: headline, kicker, section label, standfirst, body text, crosshead, pull quote, caption, byline, table, page footer or advertisement.
What the tool recognises and does
An overview of what happens between uploading the PDF and the moment you can publish an edition.
Detection
Assembling articles
Blocks that belong together become an article, even across several pages or when the piece continues later in the issue.
Headlines across the fold
A headline running from the left page to the right page is recognised as one headline, not as two articles.
Columns and reading order
Columns are kept apart, including newspaper layouts where lines from two columns sit at the same height.
Tables
A table is kept as a table, with rows and columns, instead of loose lines of text.
Advertisement pages
Full advert pages are recognised and skipped, keeping a clickable link where there is one.
Correcting
Review screen
You see the page with everything found overlaid on it, coloured by type or by article. One glance shows you what went wrong.
Fix with one click
Change a wrong type straight away, move elements to another article, and delete what does not belong — singly or in groups.
Notes become rules
What you notice while reviewing the first issue is turned into rules for the whole title, so the next issue comes in cleaner.
Repairing broken text layers
PDFs that have been through a production pipeline sometimes yield shifted characters. A character repair can be set up for your title.
Publishing and handing over
Digital edition
Readers page through the issue and open an article in readable form, with previous and next, and a full-screen reading mode.
Your own house style
The bookshelf picks up your accent and background colour.
Selling single issues
Put a price on an edition; readers pay and get access.
Export to your own system
A ZIP with HTML per article, all data in JSON and photos at source quality.
Statistics
How many editions clipped, how many pages, how often an edition was opened and which articles are read most.
Multiple users
Everyone works in their own space and sees only the titles they belong to.
