EdiKids - Personalized kids books

Challenges

Developing a custom book creator

Creating this web application demanded addressing several issues. First, it provides a B2C service between the shop owner and the end-user.

Moreover, we needed to create a technology to convert the digital project into a high-quality, printable project following a print house's guidelines.

Lastly, we established means of delivering the baby book project to the print house. We have chosen several means of communication to address the principles most popular among print houses.

The list of project functionalities is as follows:

1. Adding pages that will be included in the final printed version,
2. Creating a technology that will let to convert the colors from RGB to CMYK with no quality loss,
3. Automatic adjustment of pages to the print,
4. Automatic imposition of the ordered copy,
5. Generating the PDF to print accordingly to the printing guidelines,
6. Generating ordered books, possibility to send them to printing house’s FTP, using safe e-mail links and option to download them via customized admin panel,
