State-of-the-Art Software Architecture
Integrate and Manage Third-Party Solutions
Extend Your vjoon K4 System via Web Services
A vjoon K4 system can be modified and extended using Web services (Java, C++, PHP, etc.). Additionally, a set of client APIs offers flexible and comprehensive access to the application server and K4 business logic, allowing the system to be easily integrated with other production or content-management systems. All server-based components of the system are Java applications, which are configured to run on a standard Apache Tomcat server.
Automated internal and external processes
vjoon K4 also allows predefined automations, such as import with K4 Drop Folders™, export with the K4 XML Exporter™, automated PDF output via MadeToPrint, reconfiguring page formats for tablet editions, or the execution of custom scripts running as an automated task on Adobe InDesign Server®. Together with K4 Drop Folders, K4 Captions & Credits and K4 XML Exporter, you can automate your complete picture workflow.
In vjoon K4, object rules are used to match data from external sources – e.g. page planning systems. Upon saving layouts, they can define the page structure of layouts as well as the placement of objects (pictures, advertisements, and audio/video objects), and they can constrain the right to select issue, section, status, or assignment.
K4 External Task Dispatcher™ submits K4 objects to connected third-party systems for further processing, and retrieves the results fully automatically. This is a tremendous time-saver when tasking external applications such as translation memory systems to provide text or image processing tools to analyze or edit pictures.
