ASFAIK the production of T3N involves some proprietary (and costly) XML 
Parser. I've asked those guys a while ago about their production process and 
if it would possible to copy their solution. Well, their answer was no 
because of that stupid parser. Cant remember what it was good for though, but 
it must have had to do something with the conversation from XML to PDF.
