One of the biggest advantages of PimPrint is its flexibility: with PimPrint, data output is not controlled by rigid preset InDesign templates, but by a freely configurable set of rules in PimPrint itself. This means that the InDesign pages do not have to contain much more than the page numbering, page layout and, if applicable, the company logo. The set of rules then defines which elements function as headings, body text, table contents, footnotes, or lead/product images, so that the pages are dynamically constructed according to the definitions in the set of rules.

As more and more companies depend on high-performance software to perform everyday tasks, seamless connections between platforms have become a necessity. Third-party plugins are programs designed to fill gaps and exploit synergies between the two platforms. These third-party connectors build automations between the platforms and enable the exchange of information. The native and seamless integration into Pimcore allows the automated creation of InDesign documents with data and assets directly from Pimcore. No exports and secondary software are required.

If you are interested in the tech involved, please have a look at our API documentation.

To benefit from the true value of product data, the associated data model must constantly represent the full scope of all features, relationships and specifications. As a Pimcore Gold Partner we are interested in ensuring compatibility with the Pimcore data model in our internal developments for the Pimcore ecosystem. Accordingly, our certified Pimcore developers have ensured that the PimPrint plugin uses existing Pimcore data models – including documents, assets and objects. This way, your employees not only save time, but also their nerves.

Special attention is paid to our licensing model. We have created a license model with one fixed price for an unlimited number of InDesign users within a project. In addition you will receive priority support and lifetime updates for all products. Find out about our license offer now and arrange a free demo with one of our Pimcore and InDesign experts.

PimPrint offers maximum creative freedom with its entire automation performance. This also applies to individually designed pages, such as introductory lead-in pages in a product catalog. The content in text and image boxes can be adjusted as desired, images can be cropped or colored backgrounds added as necessary directly in InDesign. The finished page then functions as a master template whose "content" can be updated as required without changing the layout. This is of course particularly ideal for creating multiple language versions for a catalog or brochure.

PimPrint provides a good overview and transparent traceability even with many language versions and updates. This is because language versions and change history are stored separately: the language versions are saved in the  InDesign Layers Palette, the changes and updates in the InDesign Articles Palette.

With PimPrint, not only does the data output function automatically according to the defined set of rules, PimPrint also has access to the InDesign document properties and thus automatically controls settings such as page size, margins, single page/double page or number of pages. The automatic transfer of the page size is an enormous advantage, especially when creating packaging, as different die-cuts are created correctly in InDesign during data extraction.

PimPrint's generation logic enables extremely fast creation of finished InDesign documents: Double pages build up in just a few seconds, entire catalog chapters in only a few minutes. The production of printed advertising material couldn't be more efficient!

Pimcore includes an advanced and very flexible rights management. In order to precisely adapt the roles and rights of each user and usage case, we enable full use of the rights and roles construction of Pimcore in the InDesign plugin.
