SunTec has, on its rolls, a team of gifted and very experienced professionals. At present, we have more than 600 professionals working with us. They are a motley lot and include SMEs, coders, developers, document specialists, multimedia programmers, project managers, copy editors and proofreaders. When you assign us a project, we handpick a team from this lot keeping your requirements in mind. We ensure that we assemble a team with the right mix of talents and skills needed to exactly meet your needs.
At SunTec, we scrupulously avoid the use of automated tools. This is due to the reason that the use of automated tools to convert books and documents into ePublications never yields a satisfactory result. When books and documents are converted using automated tools, tables, graphs, heading, footnotes, etc., all go haywire and make an unformatted mess. That is why, at SunTec, we convert your documents manually so that you get only the best results.
When it comes to transferring data to SunTec, you have a lot of choice of formats and means. At Suntec, we accept and convert all source formats like TIFF, RTF File, MS Word, PowerPoint, MS Excel, Quark, InDesign, Illustrator, HTML, PaintShop Pro, XML, Acrobat, Photoshop and XHTML. If you choose to, you can even transfer your files to us in a digital format other than the ones mentioned here.
You have a lot of choice with the means of transfer too. You can email your files to us, provide them to us on a CD or DVD or as a secure FTP download. In case you have hardcopy documents, you can even courier them to us. If you want to take the FTP download route, you must know that you need a client FTP software like CuteFTP in order to access our FTP server. You will also need validated login and password details to upload your documents on our FTP server.
The cost is determined by a range of factors. The first is the source format. Our price varies depending upon whether your files are in hardcopy, PDF, MS Word, Adobe FrameMaker or the Adobe InDesign format. The second important factor which determines the cost is the complexity of the source format. In this case, the text density and the number of multiple columns, side bars, tables, graphs, images and illustrations, headers and footers, internal links, external hyperlinks, foreign characters and several such points are considered to decide the charges of our service. The third and the last factor that has a bearing on the cost is the output format you desire – EPUB, EPUB3, enhanced EPUB, Fixed Layout EPUB, KF8, PRC/MOBI, PDB or XML.
Yes, documents in certain languages are more expensive to convert than others. For example, the East Asian and Middle Eastern languages which do not use the Latin based script make it challenging for us to integrate their keys/tones for appropriate digitization. This tends to escalate the cost of conversion.
The turnaround time depends upon the nature of the project and your requirements. The two most crucial factors, however, are word count, the more the words the longer it takes to convert them, and the complexities involved. In the latter case, if the document has lots of graphics, illustrations, graphs, tables, charts, images etc., our professionals take longer to incorporate these intricate layouts into the digital format. Nevertheless, once you set us a deadline, you can rest assured that we will turn around your project within it.
Over wire transfers, or through Pay Pals and credit cards. You will have to pay a 5% surcharge if you pay using a credit card or via Pay Pal.

At SunTec Digital, we collaborate with our clients to produce eBooks which are easily navigable and render elegant display on a range of eBook readers, tablets and smartphones. However, to produce such measurable results for our clients, we want them to follow certain recommendations. Over the years, our clients have adhered to it, helping us deliver desired results for them.

To prepare your .doc or .docx manuscripts for eBook conversion, firstly, you will have to make sure that the file has been proofread and edited. Secondly, you must also make sure that at least you have a title and a copyright page. Adding other pages like preface, glossary, index, about the author, etc., depends on the type of the book written. Lastly, you must ensure that the file is well-formatted and includes basic formatting such as headings, para breaks, indentation, bold, italics, etc. In case you want us to assist in proofreading and editing, page designing, and formatting, we'll be happy to give you a free quote.
While submitting the PDF files for conversion, you will have to ensure that the files are saved in press quality without any compressed or down-graded images and the file must not have any security settings activated.
We accept InDesign files only when the conversion process demands the content to be extracted from the original source. You are requested to zip up the entire files and linked assets while sending the InDesign files through our FTP server.
