The most popular software programs are either sold as stand-alone programs or plug-in programs that work within other applications such as Adobe InDesign, QuarkXPress or Adobe Acrobat. Plug-in options include Fusion Pro Desktop, which is a plug-in to Acrobat (www.printable.com) and uDirect (www.xmpie.com), which is a plug-in to InDesign. An example of a stand-alone software is PrintShop Mail (www.atlassoftware.com). Stand-alone software applications allow the static design information to be created in another application such as InDesign, Illustrator or QuarkXPress. Then it can be imported into PrintShop Mail where the variable information is added or created.
