Demo version

vjoon K4 speeds up your editorial and design workflow. vjoon K4 is a database-based publishing platform connected to Adobe Creative Suite, which allows everyone involved in the process of newspaper, magazine, corporate publishing, tablet or Web portal production to work on InCopy® and InDesign® documents simultaneously. Particularly beneficial: the new content editor of version 10.

Thanks to the K4 Admin you can control and edit your production via a graphical editor and increase your production security by integrating rewinds and dependencies into your workflow. You can also split it up for as many output channels as you wish to deliver with your content. vjoon K4 offers interfaces into complex production environments (since 6.0 via Web Services).
