The FHCon GmbH is pleased to announce the release of the IDMLlib 1.1

The IDMLlib is a Java library that makes working with InDesign® IDML files easier than ever.

By providing a simple but powerful interface to all information inside an IDML file, the IDMLlib allows programmers to extract, modify and create new content without the hassle to learn the complete IDML specification but to keep everything compatible with InDesign®

Programmers are now able to to create or compose new IDML documents from existing content, without even seeing any XML, by just using standard Java syntax.

Whether you want to export InDesign® compatible Snippets from your Content Management System, create a custom IDML Marketing Portal or develop a webbased IDML translation workflow, the IDMLlib technology will reduce the expense and allows a shorter time to market for your solution.

Further information about the IDMLlib can be obtained using the following links

The delivery of the IDMLlib 1.1 starts on June 25th, existing customers will be notified how to obtain the new release.
