Product and Solutions

Nucleus

Nucleus is our core engine for administering, load-balancing and job-queuing Adobe InDesign Server. It balances jobs across multiple InDesign Server instances, in both single- and multi-server configurations.

Nucleus handles starting/stopping IDS instances, monitoring server and job health, and logging job activity. Its in-app Dashboard provides details on system and job status, including server load and job run time. This includes multi-tenant functionality, allowing you to independently manage distinct clients or projects across your InDesign Server infrastructure. Nucleus allows for Cloud scaling of InDesign Server on Amazon Web Services or Azure.

Silicon Designer

Silicon Designer, our flagship product, provides a round-trip of InDesign documents, in which templates created in standard desktop InDesign become editable online through a completely customizable interface.

Using an HTML5 front end, Designer lets users create online documents which are ultimately converted back to InDesign format for web and print rendition. The solution is extensible and can be white labeled, with UI customization made fast and easy through standard web technologies such as CSS and web components. RESTful web services and JavaScript APIs provide seamless integration with Adobe Experience Manager, shopping carts, and other systems, while output is delivered with the precision, reliability and scalability of Adobe InDesign Server.

Silicon Paginator
Silicon Paginator is a powerful platform that flows variable data and dynamic content through InDesign templates with InDesign Server. The core engine binds data to InDesign objects to produce a wide range of output types, ranging from 1:1 marketing campaigns, to catalogs, financial statements, insurance documents, or virtually any dynamic content you can imagine.
Paginator can ingest data from various sources, including relational data, XML, JSON, CSV, or nearly any other structured format. It offers rich administrative tools managing the ingestion of data and optimized, load-balanced composition from InDesign Server. Designers can easily create data-aware templates in desktop InDesign that serve as the foundation for data-driven publishing workflows. Paginator is highly extensible, interoperating with other systems through RESTful web services. Configurable business rules inform sophisticated formatting logic responsive to data flowing through the solution.

Silicon Connector
Silicon Connector is the most popular plugin in the world for linking the Adobe Creative Cloud to remote digital assets resident in DAMs such as Adobe Experience Manager (AEM). Over twenty leading DAM providers specify Silicon Connector as their default integration to the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Connector was built with a deep understanding of the URL linking within Adobe InDesign, and while we also offer Connectors for Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, and XD, the InDesign form of Connector offers direct URL-based linking with unparalleled efficiency. By leaving the assets in a DAM (such as AEM Assets), and working with links rather than file references, InDesign authoring groups experience dramatic gains in productivity, efficiency and consistency.
