RenderX, the recognized leader in XML to print technology, will participate as an exhibitor at Oracle OpenWorld 2008 in San Francisco at the Moscone Center, West from September 21–24, 2008 in Booth #3730.

The event offers a multitude of opportunities for learning, collaborating, and connecting with experts and peers in the field of information technology. RenderX will be demonstrating our most current technologies and solutions, including XEP - a patented, commercial grade XSL formatting engine. XEP takes input in XML, applies an XSL transformation and then formats the Formatting Objects into PDF, AFP or PostScript, the de-facto standards for standard typography. We will also be giving attendees a sneak peak at our soon-to-be-released products, to include demonstrations of DiType, a next generation formatting engine, DocuType, a combination of DiType and MediaWiki - as well as VisualXSL, a complete forms-based application for the Financial, Health Care, and Insurance Industries. If you would like to schedule a targeted, personal demonstration of any of our technologies, contact RenderX sales at (650) 327-1000 (sales@renderx.com). We would be happy to accommodate you.

RenderX’s Solution Creates a Complete, Generic Framework with Modifiable Form Field Elements, Based on XML Templates |
||||
|
Banks, utility companies, retailers, insurance, and credit card companies have an increasing need to give their clients the
ability to enter specific information about their accounts in pre-configured PDF forms via the web. This can be accomplished
by offering internet-based application forms that are 100% custom to the applicant. The forms can be generated using information
from a few upfront questions and known information from their account. Other fields can be filled with known information and
even hidden to prevent their modification.
RenderX clients have an increasing need for creating dynamic PDF forms. Producing these forms can be accomplished by using RenderX’s XEP, an original XSL FO formatting engine, combined with iText to produce dynamic, fill-able, custom forms in a high-volume, multi-threaded application. Integrating RenderX XEP and XSL FO technology with iText has resulted in a 100% generic way to generate dynamic PDF forms for everyday applications. No further programming is necessary to generate dynamic, fill-able, custom PDF forms.

Use RenderX Software to Create TransPromo Variable Marketing Advertisements in Your Documents |
||||
|
TransPromo, also known as "statement based marketing", integrates a TRANSactional document with proactive PROMOtional marketing.
TransPromo provides an opportunity to blend marketing messages with must-read transaction statements such as invoices, statements,
benefit confirmations, explanations, and other notifications to influence behavior and ultimately drive business volume. Banks,
utilities, retailers, and credit card companies are now incorporating highly tailored messages based on the consumer’s buying
habits into transaction documents to provide promotion information relevant to their specific needs and interests.
If you’re producing transactional customer communications such as statements, invoices, policy notifications, or shipping documents, you probably already have some of the basic elements you need to start using TransPromo to take your marketing campaigns to the next level.
