The Produce & Publish components

The Produce & Publish platform consists of several components.

Produce & Publish Server

The Produce & Publish Server (PPS) is a client-server solution bringing our supported conversion options into your organization. PPS can be used as a central service from almost any application supporting standard protocols like HTTP and XMLRPC. Therefore the PPS server is the perfect solution for producing high-quality documents within a heterogeneous application environment (accessible from almost any technology (PHP, Python, Java, .NET, etc.).

Produce & Publish Client Connectors

We constantly develop and extend new client connectors for accessing the Product & Publish Server from other application. Please check the client connectors page for available solutions.

Produce & Publish Authoring Environment

The Authoring Environment integrates the following processes under one hood:

  • editorial process
  • design & layout
  • conversion
  • publication
Managing your content and  layout assets within an enterprise-level CMS (Plone) allows you focus on the editorial process but to use the power of the underlying conversion and publication workflow through the same user interface and without switching applications and workplaces.


Produce & Publish Lite

Produce & Publish Lite can be considered as the replacement of SmartPrintNG and the little brother of the Produce & Publish product family (the Plone client connector in particular). It implements a subset of the Produce & Publish Plone client connector. It is free and it supports only the Apache XSL-FO backend as PDF converter.

Produce & Publish for Plone

Produce & Publish for Plone (formerly known as SmartPrintNG) is an add-on for the Zope-based content-management-system Plone. Produce & Publish for Plone supports the generation of all office-formats (including PDF) from content stored within the Plone CMS. Manage your content within Plone - export it to any format you need.
