Web to Print solution for books?

[Tibor]

Hello,

We are a book printer, offset and digital. We are looking for a web2print solution for books. We spend alot of time with customers explaining/giving feedback how to go about supplying a book, but would also want to have something interactive online. And connect this to a workflow and MIS.

So the idea is a customer can upload PDF's or even better, Microsoft Word files. And edit these in some chosen template with his book specs. And having additional options, so basically it would be a text editor online. But also interactive by set parameters, such as bleed, picture resolution etc. And could add information of which pages should be colour, or not.

The customer would be able to see some kind of proof when he is done and flip through the book.

AND additionally would be able to make there book cover. But technically this shouldnt be such a problem, being 1 static thing?

We also have some other ideas. But first want to know if there is such a solution!

try Printable fusion pro
, if you have more money try Freeflow Web services from Fujixerox or Iway from press sense, both of them is same.

Do they have ready made options, or you need build such a solution with their tools from scratch? Because i cant find anything regards our needs other then your bussiness card or brochure.

I know this is an old thread however I hope some of you guys might still find this useful if you're looking for a web-to-print-solution I have just finished developing an online application that allows users to design their own picture books online directly in their browser. They can upload images and crop them into different shapes use cliparts and enter their own text... using a custom wysiwyg flash editor. You'll find the online demo at >> Flash Book Designer v.2011 | Children's book designer | Photo book printing | Book design software | Design your own book . Any feedback is appreciated.
