Speed is key in the newspaper business and you are expected to publish not only to print and online but also to smartphones and tablets, such as the iPhone™, the iPad™, Samsung’s Galaxy, and Motorola’s Xoom. But it becomes increasingly difficult to make your content available in all the forms and high frequency your customers demand.

How can you publish engaging, high-quality interactive content to digital devices every day and capitalize on new revenue opportunities while keeping cost under control? We can help.

Repurpose Content And Automate Your Publishing Process

Your readers expect continuous news updates, so you must publish very frequently, up to several times every day. To achieve this without hiring more people and increasing cost it is crucial to repurpose content across media and to automate the publishing process as much as possible.
Aquafadas offers various approaches to create tablet or smartphone editions of your newspaper: Your designers can enrich PDFs of your print edition with videos, sound, slide shows, and image galleries, using our plugins for Adobe® InDesign® or XTensions for QuarkXPress®.

• Automatically create interactive digital newspaper editions by using XML content and PDFs of your print edition and create a complete digital newspaper in a matter of minutes.
• Create a complete new digital newspaper using our InDesign or QuarkXPress tools.

Only Aquafadas lets you create complete new and PDF-based digital publications through the same tool set.

Create Digital Content and Apps Without Writing A Single Line Of Code

Whichever approach you choose, you never need to hire programmers or use a service partner for your digital publishing business. Our plugins for Adobe® InDesign® and XTensions for QuarkXPress® allow designers to build rich, interactive newspapers through an intuitive user interface that is directly integrated with the page layout tool they are familiar with.

AVE AppFactory lets you generate apps for all leading mobile operating systems and devices without codingYou save time because your digital content is compatible with all devices and you create severals apps from a single tool. Today we support Apple®’s iPad™ and iPhone™, and Android™-based devices, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab® and Motorola’s Xoom

We continuously improve AVE AppFactory and by the time other operating systems, such as Windows Phone 7®, RIM ® (BlackBerry ®), and HP’s Web OS, become relevant and new devices come to market, you will be ready for them.

If you already have your own apps, you can of course continue to use them, simply by integrating them with our tools through our Software Development Kit.

No Upfront Investments And Minimal Disruption

You can use AVE AppFactory for free, and you can use the InDesign plugins and QuarkXPress XTensions for free. Just create as many apps and content as you want, test it, play with it, with no upfront investment. You only pay an affordable fee when you finally put your apps to Apple’s App Store and the Android Market, and when you publish a new issue of your newspaper.

Use your current staff, skills and infrastructure and gradually grow into more ambitious digital publishing projects. Wether you enrich PDFs, create complete new digital publications right away, or automate digital publishing by using XML content in combination with PDFs, it is always your choice where you want to start and where you want to go.
