Case Study: World's Leading Search Engine achieves rapid print-to-digital conversions and increased magazine inventory and revenue with Aptara

Print-to-Digital Magazine Conversions Boost Inventory and Revenues

A global search leader with an Android app and digital media store needed to expand its digital magazine inventory to drive sales. The company offered print-only publishers distribution rights and revenue sharing in exchange for digital editions, and sought a production partner able to convert magazines in more than 20 languages into interactive digital formats.

Aptara delivered a customized conversion platform using page zoning, its iZone mapping/tagging tool, RePUB output, automated image/content extraction, and three OCR engines to verify fidelity. The solution produces searchable, design-faithful digital issues with 99.9% accuracy, 24–48 hour turnaround, about 80 titles per month across 20+ languages, works on Android devices, and created a new revenue stream for publishers.
