We were working on a component for our Web site when we came across Ecrion’s XF Rendering Server and we thought your product could help us complete the job. We used an online Flash Based designer that produced XML files for each postcard design. Currently we were exporting the finished designs using PHP and it created a JPEG. The JPEG was then printed on our digital printing presses. It looked okay but the small fonts didn’t work well. We wanted to create a process on our server with the Ecrion software’s help. Therefore we used Ecrion application for our project while working with Ecrion team to get our XML to convert to PDF (instead of retaining all of the fonts) and we are very happy with the results.

The complex set of features makes Ecrion XF suitable for almost any kind of documents, including brochures, postcards, business cards. And it was exactly what we needed.

We also made use of SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), which is the under laying support for vectorial graphics in XF Rendering Server, for its support for paragraphs.

All of us at Postcard Services are very impressed with your level of services and knowledge. We appreciate how hard The Ecrion Team worked to help us with the project. We are getting many opportunities to develop systems for other printers and we look forward to working with you on more projects (mainly different XML sources).

“Thank you very much for your help, your great work and your great software! Your server tool has been a great asset for our production!” (Adam R. White)
