Zevrix Solutions has released a new version of Output Factory, an automation tool for Adobe InDesign
Output Factory automates printing and exporting from InDesign and offers batch processing, layer versioning, variable file names, automatic preflight, and other productivity-enhancing features. The new version restores layer visibility in InDesign files after processing and addresses several issues related to AppleScript and JavaScript scripts performance.
The new version 2.0.10 restores the visible status of layers in InDesign documents to its original state after processing with layer versioning enabled. This feature helps avoid situations where users are presented with empty-looking documents due to processing of complex layer combinations, which can result in all layers being disabled after output. The update also solves several errors found when running custom AppleScript and JavaScript scripts, and addresses an issue in which the SWF and FLA formats weren't available in InDesign CC 2017.
"With Output Factory, I've got our magazine production down to six minutes from three hours," says Jeff Middleton, a Toronto, Canada based graphic designer. "Once I set up all my presets, it was insane how fast it was. I load all my InDesign docs into Output Factory, press play, go grab a coffee and come back to my entire magazine."
With Output Factory users only need to select InDesign files, adjust output settings, and the software will do the rest automatically. The plug-in offers the following key features:
* Batch output of InDesign files
* Supports print, PDF, PostScript, EPS, TIFF, EPUB and other formats
* Export InDesign files as single pages
* Layer versioning: export layer combinations as single files
* Variable output file names
* Save PDF security settings in presets
* Run custom scripts during processing
* Output to several formats at once
* Automatic preflight
Pricing and Availability:
Output Factory can be purchased from Zevrix website for $169.95 USD (Lite version $120, Server $700), as well as from authorized resellers and Adobe Exchange. Trial is also available for download. The users of Output Factory 1.x and BatchOutput can upgrade to Output Factory 2 for $85 (Lite version - $60). Output Factory requires macOS 10.7-10.12 and Adobe InDesign CS5-CC 2017.
