Built-in customizations for specific DTDs like DocBook 4.2 help you use the product right out of the box. · upCast features a powerful, configurable batch conversion language. Select documents based on their name or extension, sort the resulting documents into specific folders and set filters and filter parameters. · A useful pre-scan feature tells you immediately which files are affected by your batch, so you can see at a glance if everything works as expected or if you're bound for trouble at some time in the conversion process. A detailed log file tells you about the progress of the conversion as well as any errors that might have occurred. Combined with external commands and the built-in XML Validator and XSLT processor upCast turns into a flexible workflow automation tool. · With upCast, you get the best of both worlds: excellent structural markup in XML and corresponding style information separated out in a CSS2 stylesheet. Proven upCast technology with built-in structure recognition heuristics preserves the document structure to an extent you won't be able to find anywhere else instantly. · upCast has a built-in slim, but efficient application programming interface (API). You can program against this API and thus include the complete functionality of our upCast Technology into your own applications. · By writing only a few lines of Java, C/C++ or VB code, you gain complete control over the document conversion process the same way as you would using the GUI. You can even create your own export filters in Java.
