Frontlist work
Our publishing customers have challenged us to produce a huge variety of genres and solve complex technical publishing problems. The titles we produce range from simple novels, full-colour children’s titles (including writing) to complex full-colour medical dictionaries and multilingual textbooks and bibles.
Backlist Conversion and Digitisation
Over the past two decades publishers have become acutely aware of the value of holding their backlist in digital form and repurposing for alternative media, the demand for backlist conversion has increased sharply. Pindar’s deep understanding of the publishing process and how it relates to content management and digital technology has put us in the perfect position to meet this demand. We have substantial experience in backlist conversion; most importantly in supplying our clients with valid useable XML and ePub files. (Please see XML pitfalls document) Using a workflow that suits the individual publisher’s needs.
