Simplify Access to Digital Assets
With Pimcore to InDesign integration, designers can access and work with the latest approved media files stored in Pimcore’s Digital Asset Management system — directly from the InDesign interface. Instead of switching between platforms or relying on downloads from shared drives, they can instantly search, preview and insert assets.
This ensures consistent use of branded visuals across everything from catalogs and brochures to banners and packaging. Besides, the plugin makes collaboration more efficient — if one designer finishes their part of the project, another can pick it up without needing to reassemble files or hunt for the right images. Everyone works from the same centralized source of truth.
Maintain Accuracy with PIM Integration
Manual updates to product data, like pricing changes or product descriptions, can lead to errors, especially when working across large catalogs or complex brochures. This plugin directly connects Adobe InDesign to your Pimcore’s Product Information Management system, so your team can pull accurate product data — such as technical specifications or localized descriptions — into their layouts in just a few clicks.
When product data is updated in Pimcore, the plugin flags the changes, making it easy for designers to refresh affected content without rebuilding layouts. This helps your team keep marketing materials consistent and accurate across different projects while speeding up updates for seasonal campaigns or product launches.
ACCESS AND WORK WITH MEDIA FILES STORED IN THE DAM SYSTEM DIRECTLY WITHIN THE INDESIGN INTERFACE
