Converting a (static) document into a CHILI publisher smart template takes a multi-facetted approach.
How smart your template will get, depends on your setup.
CHILI publisher provides several tools and concepts to Smarten your template.
Converters
Convert your Desktop App Document into CHILI publisher
Variables
In a lot of cases, a good start is to add variables to your document.
Allow end-users to input on the fly, or connect with a datasource.
Getting started with variable data
Structured Text Import
Your data can originate from a source, where meta-data or tagged information is available. Use this tagged text to automatically apply styles to tags in the text.
Alternate Layout
Provide not 1, but several output sizes in 1 document. This enables you to have only one document, one source of truth, but several output sizes.
Dynamic Layouts
If several output sizes is not enough, you can make your layout dynamic.
Don’t design with a fixed size in mind, but give your frame relative dimensions, relative to the size of your document.
Dynamic asset Providers
Actions
Image fitting
Make sure your image fits the frame, once the frame has resized due to your document resizing.
