High-performance variable data printing and data publishing software
AccurioPro VDP is a professional software suite that has been integrated directly with Adobe InDesign to provide sophisticated variable data printing and data publishing features. The software works with existing InDesign documents using a simple, panel-driven user interface that allows variable elements to be defined anywhere on the page. Everything is point-and-click, and there is no programming language to learn!
The mainstay application for AccurioPro VDP is personalized direct mail, such as Postcards, Letters, Promotions, and the like. However, the advanced feature set offered by AccurioPro VDP also provides a great solution for automating VDP production work, such as Bar Coding and Consecutive Numbering. The result? Unique, personalized output that’s easy to execute and fully supported on all Konica Minolta and other digital presses.
AccurioPro VDP can merge variable text, picture, multi-paragraph files, Word documents, MPS Tags, or even full InDesign master page information using data taken from practically any source. For variable graphics, all of the most popular file formats are supported, including JPEG, PNG, PDF, and TIFF just to name a few. The software supports variable element references by filename, or by full path, and includes our unique Global Search Path feature that allows you to store your variable assets separately on any server or accessible storage.
Creating a variable document with AccurioPro VDP is very easy to do because the setup process utilizes a custom floating panel, with all of the main features accessible via the panel fly-out menu. Of course this means that you never need to leave the InDesign application! Just select the objects you wish to make variable, and click a button. There is no programming language to learn, and most importantly your VDP designs are completely unrestricted – every feature supported by Adobe InDesign is also supported by AccurioPro VDP, including type-on-a-curve, runarounds, multi-page composition, drop caps, transparency effects, Pantone® colors, and much more.
AccurioPro also includes a number of built-in features that you would expect to find only in much more expensive packages. These features include an advanced, menu-driven Rules Builder for handling conditional logic, an automatic Copy Fitting feature that will adjust text to fit an area, and Multi-up Imposition features that allow you to step out and preview your layouts without leaving InDesign, including full support for specialty modes such as Cut & Stack, Label Sort, or Duplo cutters.
AccurioPro VDP imports data directly into InDesign layouts and produces unique, personalized output in a variety of file and VDP formats, including PostScript, PDF/VT, VPS, and PPML. The software is supported by all of the major digital press companies, including of course Konica Minolta.
This video provides an overview of AccurioPro VDP software, and showcases just a few of the many VDP applications that have been produced using the software. If you would like to arrange for a personalized demonstration, please submit your request at the bottom of this web page, or click here.
Choose the version that matches your budget and VDP requirements
AccurioPro VDP Essential is the Konica Minolta exclusive version that is perfect for your typical variable data applications (such as direct mail), and is offered at an incredibly reasonable price! The Essential version supports Optimized PDF/VT output, and includes many of the most powerful variable data processing features, such as Automatic Copy-Fitting, Link Rules, and Multi-up Imposition support.
AccurioPro VDP Premium is designed for optimal performance, and as such it offers significantly faster output, more VDP output formats (such as PPML), and includes special options designed to streamline production, such as the Job Splitting and VDP Preflight features. In addition, the Premium version provides access to a number of extra Power User features, such as Frame Rules, Variable Page Switching, Variable Layers, and Embedded Style codes. Beyond that, AccurioPro VDP Premium can also be scripted and integrated into workflow design systems, such as Enfocus Switch, enabling the development of totally automated variable data processing systems. For a comprehensive comparison of the Essential and Premium versions, please see the feature comparison chart below.
