It’s a process that typically takes skilled designers hours or even days.
PageSuite’s revolutionary Automated Layout Engine is the newspaper publishing industry’s first truly intelligent layout system. It doesn’t just place content, it thinks like a designer, making thousands of sophisticated decisions per page to create professionally balanced layouts that rival human expertise.

Every layout is scored against professional standards, ensuring consistently high-quality output across your entire edition.
This isn’t just automation – it’s transformation. Whether you’re producing eight pages or two hundred, the engine scales effortlessly while providing full transparency into why each layout was chosen. Simply connect your feeds, import your templates, and let PageSuite do the rest. From breaking news updates to daily print editions, PageSuite empowers publishers to maintain exceptional design quality while meeting even the tightest deadlines.
