Software developer Chili Publish has launched version 4.0 of its online document editing system Chili Publish, which now supports a wider range of platforms including Flash and HTML5
The company said the latest version’s platform independence would help users to expand into markets they were previously unable to reach. It also said the system would work on as yet undeveloped platforms.
Chili Publisher 4.0 also includes added functionality, such as a 3D visualisation tool that enables users to see a ”real-world” view of their design, viewing for instance how a personalised sign might look as a bus stop shelter.
Chili Publisher 4.0 is commercially available now, with existing users able to upgrade as part of their “one licence includes everything” maintenance contracts.
Chief marketing officer Bram Verniest said: “The market keeps moving at a fast pace. Users’ demands, operating platforms, and the channels in which we communicate are just some of the factors that continue to impact the dynamics of the graphic arts industry. This release of Chili Publisher not only keeps pace with those changes, it was built to be ready for whatever the future may bring.”
The last iteration of Chili Publish, Chili Publisher 3, was unveiled at Drupa last year. New features included the ability to use table structures for page layouts, where each cell can hold text, images, barcodes, vectors or tables, and Chili’s second-generation mobile reader.
