J2SCatalog is a software solution that automatically tags and generates documents for XML data. It helps streamline the process of organizing and presenting digital information.
J2SCatalog is a highly efficient plug-in for InDesign CS, which offers automated tagging and document generation from an XML data source. The software is designed to simplify the process of laying out catalogs, property listings, directories, and other publications that involve sharing structured information. J2SCatalog guarantees a hassle-free experience to its users by allowing them to create a "model" in order to lay out specific units of information (records).
Once a model has been set up, J2SCatalog automatically duplicates this model throughout the document, adding new pages as required before importing data from the XML files. However, the software does not aim to automate the creative aspects of page layout. Instead, its main objective is to simplify the tedious task of laying out and tagging all items in a document for XML import. J2SCatalog primarily relies on InDesign CS's in-built XML processing features, ensuring that users enjoy optimal results.
Because J2SCatalog is built with user-friendliness in mind, the process of updating documents once they have been generated is simple. Users can easily import XML files using the XML import feature provided by InDesign CS. While J2SCatalog's demo version is limited to the first ten records of the XML file, the paid version offers additional functionalities that enhance the user experience even more.
One of the notable features in the newly released version is the Layout template creation module, which facilitates the use of multiple page templates to define a variety of alternate layouts. Even when creating new pages, J2SCatalog uses the initial page order and selects corresponding layouts to ensure a seamless experience.
Other functionalities include the ability to specify the name of the XML tag corresponding to the record, the option to group items at the end of the duplication process, and the possibility of specifying the position of the image in the frames. With all these capabilities, J2SCatalog is an exceptional software that enables users to create professionally laid-out publications with ease.
