Product Description

The Papyrus Designer is a WYSIWYG desktop design toolkit to develop dynamically formatted documents and forms/data applications. A revolutionary technique is used for the graphical and visual design of dynamic statements, invoices, insurance documents, contracts, marketing letters, etc. Development time is up to ten times shorter than with any other product! Papyrus Designer enables on-screen verification of the actual document in PEL accuracy for 240, 300 and 600 dpi resolutions with support for raster and outline fonts, spot and full color.

Unlike all other products, Papyrus Designer shows already in the design process the data interface, the logic, the layout and the printer resources such as fonts, forms and logos, each on its fully formatted page. The Papyrus DOCDEF language is a fully featured and published script language enabling the most complex data and document logic functions.
