The client, a publisher is the leader in demand-driven book manufacturing and distribution solutions to the publishing industry. They represent major publishers in getting their regular print books converted into large print. They have very large chain of channel partners through whom they sell and distribute books in volumes.

The publisher required a solution to convert various input formats into Large Print Books. Large print books enable the partially visual impaired and the elderly to enjoy reading popular fiction, non-fiction, and journals.

Using the multiple input–single output concepts, we converted all inputs into ASCII format and used InDesign for page layout.

• Through constant interaction with the clients and continuous sampling method, we zeroed in on the perfect delivery methodology.

• Any ASCII files were exported on to an InDesign template with client’s layout specifications. ASCII files were imported to WORD template with predefined layout specifications. Cover generation was done using InDesign template with client specifications.

• We used fonts and text sizes that are easily legible by visually impaired or aged persons

• A thorough proof reading was performed to ensure text accuracy.

• Book covers were created using the font and image supplied or as specified by the publisher.

• Images were either extracted from the PDF or scanned from the hardcopy, depending upon the input format.

We have been successfully delivering cover and text PDF for hundreds of Large Print titles to major publishers through our client.
