Extensive Datafile Facilities:
PageCentre has programming staff
experience totaling nearly 30 years. We have worked
with virtually every type of media and logical
data structure and have developed 'subroutines'
which allow us to 'plug-in' to those databases
and access their data content with minimal time
and expense. We have also developed specialized
systems which allow us to readily accept and process
the following:
- SGML Databases
- MARC (Library of Congress) databases
- Many proprietary Bell System databases
- IBM blocked variable EBCDIC files
- Standard ASCII CSV files (comma or tab
separated values)
- Nonstandard delimited ASCII & EBCDIC
files
- All blocked & unblocked fixed field
record formats
- Microsoft Word & Excel files
We can accept complex databases
or groups of databases and provide all programming
& sorting necessary to assemble a desired
publication. Clients often provide us several
'component' databases, authority files, and lookup
tables which are all referenced by the custom
application program specifically written for each
publication.
Custom Camera Ready Options
We can set up a custom output environment
for our clients whereby we deliver to them Adobe
Framemaker output files. With these files our
clients have the advantages of greater
control and reduced
expense in producing their publications.
- Print internal proof sets on the client's
own printers
- Make all last minute text corrections
- Make any desired design changes
- Add graphics and artwork to the pages.
- Adjust formats to achieve a target
number of pages
- Prepare the final output version of the
publication in any desired format including
- Postscript, PDF, HTML, XML or laser paper.
Derivative Publications
From the supplied customer databases, we are
often required to generate various additional
publications or indices from the original dataset.
Once we have built our internal databases, we
can easily generate additional publications
as subsets of the original supplied datafiles.
Indices can also be easily generated and can
include references to a principal section by
keyword or page number.
