<div class="left_inner_box_inn">
<div style="float:right; margin:5px;">
</div>
<p>3D Issue has launched the first-ever Mac version of their digital<br />
magazine production software. In a market that predominantly offers<br />
the digitization of print publications as a service, 3D Issue have,<br />
since its inception released their solutions as software packages;<br />
allowing you to completely own the digital magazine production<br />
process.</p>
<p>Until recently all their software solutions were developed for<br />
Windows only. As the print publishing industry predominantly uses<br />
Macs for all their design work, 3D Issue are delighted to be the<br />
first to release a standalone PDF to digital edition software app for<br />
Mac users. </p>
<p>Asking their Director of Business Development, Paul Mc Nulty, about<br />
the release he said it was long overdue; "It's finally here! After<br />
many months work, many cups of tea, and a lot of grey hairs we were<br />
absolutely delighted to be able to announce the release of the first<br />
Mac based digital publication software". "As 90 percent of the<br />
publishing industry use Macs for their design work & print<br />
production, releasing Mac compatible versions of our software has<br />
always been a top priority for us. And we are delighted with the<br />
results. It's much faster than the windows version. A 200 page<br />
publication can be converted to a digital edition in less than 90<br />
seconds" </p>
<p>In this tough economic climate, publishers have been looking for more<br />
creative ways to reduce marketing & admin costs. 3D Issue allows<br />
publishers the ability to do exactly that. Within seconds of final<br />
proofing, publishers can have their publications digitized & online. </p>
<p>"While nothing will replace holding a magazine or newspaper in your<br />
hands, digital editions can offer publishers the ability to offer a<br />
value added service to their clients and readers and also collect<br />
valuable marketing information on the demographics and habits of<br />
their readers. "We have integrated a tracking solution into our<br />
applications that allows you to record each action of a reader while<br />
they are interacting with your digital magazine. 3D Issue has<br />
designed this stats reporter so that it communicates directly with<br />
your Google Analytics account. So this means not only are these stat<br />
reports free of charge but they are also market validated and<br />
completely confidential."</p>
<p>Not only do you have all the standard demographic and browser based<br />
statistics from Google Analytics but 3D Issue also allows you to<br />
determine up to 40 different reader habits such as which articles or<br />
pages are receiving the most hits, what the most popular searches<br />
are, how many users are clicking on advertising links, etc., he adds.</p>
<p>What's different about 3D Issue is that it's software and not a<br />
service, once you purchase the software that's it. There is no<br />
recurring costs or monthly charges. You wholly own the production<br />
process, you create, you host and you own. You can digitize an<br />
unlimited number of your companies publications and perhaps more<br />
importantly you can host these digital editions yourself, allowing<br />
you total control over digital distribution. </p>
<p>Now for the first time you can use your Mac to create your own<br />
digital publication. You can then upload the e-publication to your<br />
own web site yourself; you own 100 percent of the digital publication<br />
production process. No more out-sourcing, no more unnecessary<br />
on-going charges. 3D Issue Mac Lite lets you convert your press ready<br />
PDFs into live, searchable digital editions in minutes. </p>
<p>Once you buy the license from 3D Issue, you can start digitizing your<br />
publications by yourself. Download your free trial version from the<br />
