This book aims to present readers with various automation possibilities in the field of desktop publishing and to encourage them to integrate these into their workflows in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of their design and production processes. The methods range from small tools—such as scripts integrated into DTP software like Adobe InDesign for the automatic generation of graphic assets—to complex software infrastructures capable of automating the publishing of thousands of documents.

The book strives to cover as many scenarios as possible, appeal to a broad audience, and concisely address all key topics related to automation in desktop publishing. Additionally, it uses case studies to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of automation and offers multiple perspectives on DTP-related subtopics.
