MAPDRAW VIDEO

Business output conveys the image of both your company and information system. Today, users consider that the quality of documents and that of IT systems is tightly linked. Business output conveys the image of your company outside its walls, and also reflects the quality of your IT system inside the company itself.

MAPDRAW - Document composition tool

With MAPDRAW, our document template design and composition module, you can easily transform basic static documents into sophisticated graphical documents. MAPDRAW runs on Windows platforms and includes an intuitive drawing interface dedicated to the design of overlays as well as a user-friendly data mapping interface to design document layouts. MAPDRAW makes it easy to make changes and add graphics to your spool files, database files, XML files, and other files coming from ERPs, etc.

Once the templates are created on the Windows workstation, production is carried out directly on the server (Unix/Linux, iSeries/AS400 or Windows), which guarantees both high performance and a greater security.

Print formats

MAPDRAW lets you select the template page size (A4, Letter, custom, etc), set margins, select the print mode (simplex, duplex, input and output bins, color, code page Unicode, DBCS, Chinese, etc.) and more.

MAPPING handles printer languages natively in that the print streams are generated directly in the selected printer language while respecting the norm of not using any file converter or extra driver. The size of resultingspool files is minimized to reduce the strain on network bandwidth and optimize print times.
