Topic
In Arbortext 5.4, an alternative option for print composition “Advanced Print Publisher” is being introduced for Styler and APE. Initially introduced as a Technology Preview, this new option for composition will allow Styler users to take advantage of APP’s powerful language support to produce high-quality printed output for international readers.
Many of us in the Arbortext community were introduced to APP in 2004 at the AUGI conference that year. Most of us haven’t had the opportunity to really see it since.
Here’s our chance to hear about this amazing technology from one of those who was there during the development.
About the Speaker
Prior to founding GPSL, Lawrie was for many years with Advent (developers of 3B2), first joining them prior to the launch of their 3B2 software in 1987. Initially employed in a sales capacity he served the company in a number of roles until joining the Board in 1993 as Group Sales Director and more recently CTO.
With a strong background in International sales, he was instrumental in building initial export markets and overseas distribution for 3B2, spending 2 years based in Europe. On his return in 1993 he introduced Advent to new opportunities in major projects, solutions and the newly emerging SGML (XML) market. First establishing and building the resource, he then expanded the sales and service teams and was responsible for the required restructuring of company to service this new business model.
Attracting a ‘Blue Chip’ customer base, he successfully introduced cutting edge publishing solutions and technologies to Asia, North America and Australasia with particular success in the USA, Japan and India.
Following the acquisition of Advent Lawrie joined forces with other ex-colleagues and solutions specialists to form GPSL.
