Collateral Conversion

Turning PDF to flash is just the beginning!

Zmags is the most flexible tool for Interactive Collateral Management. With Collateral Conversion, you get the power not only to create live Flash collateral from PDF files, but you also benefit from a wide range of tools to create the content exactly the way you want.

Quick, intelligent conversion

Creating a live Flash collateral takes less than five minutes on average, and you can publish the piece at once. PDF files can indeed be created in many ways, but Zmags’ intelligent converter detects if the PDF file has crop marks, different dimensions or is security protected before converting it. This minimizes the risk of error and makes your workflow more efficient.

FTP Auto Conversion supports workflows

For smooth and easy conversion, Zmags supports automated document conversion of PDFs uploaded via FTP. Once the PDF has been converted, you’ll be notified by email. This feature supports your existing workflow from Desktop Publishing and can save you a lot of time – especially when converting a great number of documents.

Auto-convert your website

Zmags offers a simple but efficient way to turn all your PDF files into live collateral. The Website Auto Converter consists of a simple Java script, which when placed on your website will turn existing PDF files into live Zmags. You’ll no longer need to manually upload, configure and update your website. In fact, leveraging Interactive Collateral Management is easy and there is no need to change workflows or update your website when new online collateral is available. Simply put the PDF file on your website and the days of static documents are over.

Full flexibility

Need to change a page or insert an extra chapter in your collateral? No problem. Zmags offers you the tools to go back and replace single or multiple pages at any time.

This is very useful if your prices change, you are running a campaign or you find a typo in your live document.

Built-in text recognition for improved search.

Text embedded in images can be recognized and made indexable within your Zmag and for search engines. Utilizing Zmags’ Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology, the conversion tool simply scans for characters hidden in images, which can reveal hidden search phrases within your collateral. The feature is supported in 27 languages.
