Creator Server
MultiAd® Creator Server is the ultimate development application for automated page layout. It is the first true multi-threaded document-building engine. Anyone who has a need for automated document construction, layout, modification or high-volume distribution will benefit from Creator Server.
Applications that benefit from Creator Server range from a small CD-based layout application to an online document creation product with thousands of users. This powerful solution runs in multiple environments—Linux, Unix®, Microsoft® Windows® 2000 and XP, and Mac OS X—and supports multiple processors.
With Creator Server, you can replace any template elements, such as graphics and text, and control other attributes, such as maintaining size, position and aspect ratio. You can also fill in templates with live data (perhaps from a database) in an automated fashion or modify existing documents for other mediums, such as new print and image formats of the Web.
Creator Server flexibility
It is important to note that end users do not interact with Creator Server directly; they do so only through the intermediary of some client module, such as a web client. Creator Server itself provides the ad-creation and modification services; the client modules provide the User Interface and other processing functionality.
The primary services provided by Server itself are the same as those used by the MultiAd Creator desktop application, mainly ad construction, manipulation, and exporting to a variety of formats. Virtually anything that can be done to a document in the desktop application can be done in an automated fashion using Creator Server.
In addition, Creator Server provides a powerful command language similar in function to AppleScript® (and available on multiple platforms), support for multiple simultaneous users, and TCP/IP networking support for use on a local area network or the Internet. It also provides a few tools useful in an automated environment, such as conversion of images from one type to another (EPS to GIF, for example).
What Creator Server does not provide is any form of user interface more sophisticated than a command line. It is merely a processing tool, one half of a complete solution. The other half (the user interaction) is provided by a client module.
