Formats. We can
work with virtually any text or pagination file
format. We use MS Word, Framemaker, Quark XPress,
TEX/LATEX, XML, SGML, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe
Photoshop, ChemDraw and 3D modeling formats. We
will gladly accept hand written content as well!
Platforms We
Run On. We use Linux servers with
Windows and Macintosh workstations. We ensure
cross-platform compatibility in the work we
deliver. Our WebDAV server runs in the
background while users contantly and seamlessly
access our customized eSolution Generator which
has the abililty to process user requests from
virtually any operating system, giving our
customers the maximum flexibility in accessing
valuable content.
Data Security.
We recognize that lost or corrupt data can be
expensive to replace. BooksinBytes.com
personally guarantees the security of your
content. We will offer you a full refund if your
content is compromised in anyway as a result of
our technology solutions. That's how confident
we are that your content will be completely
secure once it is delivered to instructors. A
clear audit trail of all stages of production is
maintained, data is backed up daily and a mirror
backup of all work-in-progress is secured at a
remote location. Completed work is archived for
future use. We have the ability to produce a
third edition of a book five years after the
second edition, on the fly! Our eSolution
Generator places a time stamp on every file it
generates, then masks problem numbers so
"ripping" of text in pieces becomes a
very difficult jigsaw puzzle, and finally
protects every document it generates with a
password.
Data Transfer.
We receive all our work directly from our
customers electronically. Source files are
scanned images of manuscripts delivered to our
FTP server. Manuscripts are channeled to us
through our web site using the customer log in
section. Finished work is delivered in a digital
format for access as an eBook and ready for
printing or using the eSolution Generator.
