We always use human coders to transform your books/documents into ePublications. Automated tools that convert documents/books into ePublications almost always result in an unformatted output with specific devices. For example, headings, footnotes, tables, graphs etc. may not display properly. Significant manual intervention is hence required to ensure compact and most accurate formatting. We do it all for you!

File Format - We accept documents/books virtually in any electronic file format, including TIFF files, MS Word, MS Excel, PowerPoint, RTF File, PaintShop Pro, Quark, InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, HTML, XML, XHTML or any other digital format.

Sending / Receiving Options - Clients can submit us their projects via emails, secure FTP connections, through CD/DVD or even courier us their hard copy documents. Please note that you need to use client FTP software like CuteFTP to access our FTP server. To upload your books and avail access to our FTP server, you need to have validated login and password details. Please email us at info@suntecindia.com to generate personalized access to our FTP server.

The cost of each conversion project depends on many factors, such as source type (digital file, scanned images, hard copy), text density, formatting complexity, language, number of images, use of tables, use of mathematical/scientific expressions, etc. The pricing depends on the following parameters:

Source Format -

Format Complexity of the Title -

Desired Output Format

Conversion costs vary depending on the language and the technical levels of materials. As certain languages do not use a Latin-based script (such as East Asian and Middle Eastern languages), it is a challenge to individually integrate these keys/tones for appropriate digitization.

Every project is unique, and the timeframe to execute each one of them depends on project nature, clarity in specifications and levels of complexity involved.

Word Count: More words equal more time required. If you have longer projects and need it in tight schedules, we assemble dedicated teams to work on your projects.

Complexities Involved: When documents contain more graphics, illustrations, graphs, tables, charts, images etc., a lot of manual intervention is required to incorporate such complex layouts into digital format. However, we stick to strict time deliverables and prompt services.

This allows the client to have complete control over their project during various stages of execution.
• Depending on client's requirements, a Standardized Operating Manual (SOM) is defined.
• Execution team is scaled-up and trained according to the defined SOM.
• Project execution takes place under the strict supervision of Team Lead.
