About Mallverkstan

The leading experts on Database Publishing
Mallverkstan is one of the leading experts in Sweden on database publishing for print. Since 1993 we have made hundreds of product catalogues, phone books, etc. with databases and Adobe FrameMaker.

What is database publishing?
You use database publishing when you want to publish information you have in a database on a regular basis, or you have a huge amount of information you want to publish once. Examples are product catalogues you want to print every year, phone books, price lists you want to update every quarter, or encyclopedias, usually published only once.

The source can be any format, XML/SGML files, SQL databases like SQL Server or Oracle, Access, FileMaker Pro, tab-separated text files, Excel, etc. We export the information and import it into a corresponding FrameMaker template. In average 80% of the job is done automatically! The percentage depends on the resulting layout and the database structure.

The layout program is preferably Adobe FrameMaker because of its template-driven way of working, and it is fast and reliable. Our experience says you got a better result with FrameMaker than any other layout software, like Quark XPress, InDesign, or PageMaker.

Templates
We do the templates and export/import routines for you, and maybe help you with your first production. The next time, you probably do it yourself!
