Catalog Builder Output Formats

Print Catalogs and Adobe® PDF file Catalogs
Print your catalog (complete with pictures and product descriptions) to any general office printer right from your PC, then mail or fax it.

Catalog Builder can also generate Adobe PDF (portable document format) files that are easily transferred through email or downloaded by your customers from the internet. Customers from around the world can access your catalog at a moments notice. You could also choose to export the catalog to a PDF file for output by your printing service bureau.

CD-ROM Catalogs
By distributing your catalogs on CD-ROM you retain the same control over who receives your catalog and when they receive it as you have in hard-copy distribution. The difference is that you can update and distribute CD-ROM catalogs much more frequently and cost-effectively so your customers have easy access to the most current product and pricing information.

CD-ROM catalogs are appreciated by customers or sales people on the road because they can pull up product information from the CD on their laptops instead of having to connect to the internet.

Web Catalogs
Catalog Builder makes it possible for you to add e-commerce to your marketing mix without the huge price tag. Once you've designed your digital catalog, Catalog Builder generates a dynamic database e-commerce catalog using Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle. To keep things simple for you, we offer optional e-commerce catalog management and hosting services.

Mini Catalogs
You can use Catalog Builder to produce catalogs using subsets of the data in your full-line catalog database and output the mini catalogs on paper, CD-ROM or as PDFs.
