Silicon Publishing has been delivering solutions using Adobe InDesign Server, since the product’s inception in 2005. We build solutions that let organizations generate dynamic documents at scale, or edit Adobe InDesign documents online through an easy-to-use, web-based interface. In the course of our work, we’ve learned a great deal about InDesign Server, and over the years we’ve developed software that can make working with it easy, scalable, and well-managed. We are now offering this core software in standalone form, as Nucleus for Adobe InDesign Server.

For those seeking to deploy an InDesign Server solution using their own scripts, Nucleus can quickly add powerful capabilities to your servers/cloud, or in our hosted environment.
