Digital Publishing

Circle Graphics can help you with your publication on the web including e-books, digital magazines, white papers, reports, or any content. We can also produce social media graphics, banners, and ads for the web.

Conversions

The electronic files (EF) that we accept for pagination are first converted to a tagged text format that is compatible with our pagination software—InDesign or QuarkXpress. This ensures consistency and also frees up the paginators to focus on areas other than styling the unformatted text. Circle Graphics currently uses two workflows:

• XML-first—Word files are converted to XML using a series of semi-automated macros. The resulting XML files are then parsed for tag consistency before being imported into the pagination application.
• Xtags—Word files are converted to Xtags format, which is similar to XML. We are able to convert almost any file format imaginable, either as input for our own software or as input for your software. We can easily convert from Quark or InDesign to Microsoft Word, HTML, SGML, or XML, in addition to other formats.

eBook

If your publication is currently in InDesign, Quark, or even in PDF format, Circle Graphics can convert your files to the eBook format of your choice—ePub for iPad and Nook or PRC for Kindle. The files will be converted, tagged with CSS style sheets, and QC'd. We check every eBook on the actual eReader device and we guarantee at least 99.8% accuracy.

xml, html, sgml

We can convert your finished InDesign or Quark document into the markup language of your choice—XML, SGML, or HTML. It’s best if you already have a DTD (document type definition) to define the document structure, but we can always use a generic book or journal DTD.

Word Files

Circle Graphics can convert your InDesign, Quark, or PDF to a Microsoft Word file, which allows Authors or Editors to make updates/changes to the files.

Keyboarding

At Circle Graphics, two individual typists usually perform keyboarding and the resulting files are run through a comparison program, which flags any discrepancies. A supervisor or more experienced third keyboarder will then check the manuscript and resolve the differences.
