Content editing
Subject-matter experts are assigned to work with our clients and authors on editing manuscripts to ensure reader-friendly structure, clarity, and format.

Typesetting
Aquent works with software such as TeX, LaTeX, QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign, and Microsoft products to produce stellar page composition. Our production wizards can create and/or include the most intense mathematical or scientific equations and formulas, tables, and diagrams in any manuscript.

Illustration
Any format, any colour, any look—if it’s illustration you need, we can do it: black-and-white line, with or without rendering; four-color; created from scratch or provided via JPG; scanned and recreated using Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, CAD, and Macromedia FreeHand.

Ad Production
Aquent can help you with ongoing and/or overflow magazine or Yellow Page ad display and in-column ad production using MultiAd Creator, QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign, and all major design programs.

Data Conversion
We’re experienced at projects involving keyboarding, coding, and conversions of files into SGML/HTML/XML/NIMAS/ICADD or any other proprietary coding output in English and foreign languages. No electronic file? No problem! We can convert your hard copy or legacy documents into PDF or any other print or web format.

Web/Multimedia
Our capabilities are not limited to print projects. We have a full complement of resources that are able to meet your web needs with our full range of services including multimedia presentations, web sites, intranets, banner ads, image editing, and interactive CDs.

Catalogues
Aquent understands that there are many facets in producing a successful catalogue. Aquent can provide you with page layout/composition, typesetting, proofreading, illustration, image editing, indexing, table of contents, pagination, and even cover design.

Image Editing
Using software such as Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, Aquent’s production studio has many years of experience in getting image files set up for print. We have been involved with producing much more than publications when it comes to image editing. Aquent’s creative offshore team has been responsible for image editing that has been printed in the forms of billboards, automobile hood transfers, decorative house flags, pajamas, kitchen and bathroom accessories, etc.

Cover Design
Aquent is proud to be involved with projects for many clients, especially in the nonprofit scientific, technical, and medical arenas. Clients can provide us with images and/or illustrations, or we can focus on them as well as researching all the elements required in creating a cover that reflects your topic and generates the interest of your target audience.
