Features
Built like a newspaper. Organized like one, too.
Everything Preenway InkEdition does, section by section — from the moment a PDF is uploaded to the moment a reader shares a story.
Section A
E-paper & content management
The heart of the platform: a pipeline that understands print, and tools that turn pages into stories.
- PDF processing pipeline Upload an edition and every page is rendered as web images in full, medium, and thumbnail sizes, with text layers extracted for search and zoning.
- Interactive reader A page-turning e-paper with smooth zoom, pan, and full touch support — faithful to print, comfortable on a phone.
- Zoning editor Draw rectangles over article blocks and the text auto-extracts into pre-filled articles. Each zone becomes a clickable hotspot in the reader.
- Rich-text article editor Polish extracted stories in Basic or Advanced mode — headline, excerpt, tags, images, and author credit in one place.
- Media library A shared home for every image your newsroom uploads, ready to drop into any article.
Section B
Publishing & distribution
Editions publish on schedule, articles get permanent addresses, and every shared link looks right.
- Edition scheduling Queue an edition with a date and it publishes itself automatically — no early-morning uploads.
- Clear status workflow Every edition moves visibly through draft, processing, ready, and published — so the whole team knows where things stand.
- Permanent, dated URLs Articles get Google News-style addresses that never break — good for readers, better for search engines.
- Social previews that work Links shared to WhatsApp, X, or Facebook unfurl with the right headline, image, and description every time.
Section C
Discovery & engagement
Zoned articles don't just sit in an archive — they power the ways readers explore, find, and share your journalism.
- Topic pages Article tags automatically build browsable topic pages, so coverage of an issue lives in one place.
- Monthly archives Every edition and article, organized by month — your whole run, always reachable.
- Full-text search Readers search across articles and e-paper pages alike, thanks to the extracted text layer.
- Author profiles Bylines link to profile pages that collect each writer's work.
- Reader clipping tool Signed-in readers drag a rectangle over any page and the platform crops it server-side — instantly shareable to WhatsApp, X, and Facebook, or as a copied link.
Section D
Analytics & administration
Understand your readers, control your brand, and give every person in the newsroom exactly the access they need.
- View metrics 7, 30, and 90-day views across articles and e-paper pages show what's landing with readers.
- Branding & themes Four layouts — Classic, Modern, Dark, and Emerald — plus customizable branding to match your masthead.
- Login-to-read gate Optionally require a free reader account to open editions — a first step toward knowing your audience.
- User management Invite, promote, and manage everyone from the publisher to the newest contributor.
