Creating and managing your catalog as an InDesign book file
EasyCatalog includes additional functionality to support the management of larger catalogs using book files within InDesign.
Using a book file gives your significant advantages, including:
- Better application performance
- Ability for different team members to work on different parts of the catalog simultaneously
- Consistency of styles across the document
- Maintain continuous page numbering
- Refresh all data in a single update
- Export final print-ready PDF as a single document
Product data
Product data used to create book files is held within a single EasyCatalog panel. Loading separate data files for each chapter is not recommended.
Paginated catalog pages
Each chapter or section of the catalog is typically saved as a separate InDesign file.
