Composition & Typesetting

Transform Word or XML into pixel-perfect InDesign layouts — template-driven, automatically QA'd, and exported to every format in one click.

Overview

Pages that self-paginate, consistent to your house design.

Our Bookish-powered composition maps your source files into InDesign templates automatically, so what used to be days of hand-layout becomes minutes of automated styling and review.

Automated QA flags missing tags, style breaks, and layout issues before your team sees a page — and one source produces print PDF, ePDF, EPUB, HTML5, and Kindle outputs.
