File Splice

Description

File Splice is a simple, lightweight imposition tool designed to merge and arrange your files directly inside WordPress. Whether you are dealing with PDFs, JPGs, or PNGs, File Splice helps you easily turn your designs and media files into professional, print-ready sheets.

To handle the heavy lifting of high-performance file processing, merging, and imposition generation, this plugin connects to the external File Splice API.

Features

• Easy Imposition: Create print-ready sheets directly from your WordPress dashboard.
• Sheet Preview: See a to-scale preview of the press sheet, and how many files fit on it, before you spend a build.
• File Merging: Combine multiple files into a single document effortlessly.
• Per-File Quantities: Set how many of each design you need, and see how many sheets that works out to.
• Format Support: Works seamlessly with PDF, JPG, and PNG files.
• Fast Processing: Uses the File Splice API to ensure files are merged quickly and securely without overloading your web server.

Requires a File Splice Account

This plugin is a front end for the File Splice service and does nothing on its own. It requires an active File Splice account and an API key, which is issued to paid accounts. See the pricing page for current plans.

Templates are created and edited in your File Splice account rather than in WordPress. The plugin reads the templates on your account and links you there to manage them.

Important Privacy and Third-Party Service Disclosure

This plugin relies on the external File Splice service, operated by Liquid Designs, LLC, to process and merge your files. Imposition cannot be performed locally. It happens on the File Splice servers.

Nothing is sent anywhere until you enter an API key. With no key saved in the plugin settings, the plugin makes no external requests at all.

Once a key is saved, the plugin contacts https://app.filesplice.com when you:

• Test the connection, or load the list of templates on your account
• Load the details of a template you select
• Upload a file, which transmits the file itself
• List or remove the files attached to a template
• Start a build, or check whether a build has finished

What is transmitted:

• Your File Splice API key, on every request, to identify your account
• The files you choose to upload, in full
• The filenames and quantities you set when you start a build

Your WordPress content, users, and site data are never transmitted. The plugin only sends what you explicitly give it.

Finished sheets are returned as links to Amazon S3. Clicking Download opens that link and fetches the file directly from S3.
