Zevrix Solutions announces the release of Output Factory Server 2, a major upgrade to company's output automation solution for Adobe InDesign.
The new version introduces several major new features that help users further automate their workflows, eliminate repetitive tasks, and save time by simplifying file management:
* Create sequences of workflows and output InDesign files to multiple formats from a single hot folder using Actions. This new productivity-enhancing feature is designed to help users in busy prepress houses, printer shops and design agencies. For example, users can create an action that combines hi-res PDF, lo-res PDF, JPEG and color printer workflows. Then drop InDesign files to the action's hot folder to print and export them to all three formats at once.
* Run custom AppleScript and JavaScript scripts during processing. This powerful feature dramatically extends the functionality of Output Factory giving users virtually unlimited options to customize and further automate their output workflows.
* Use file aliases instead of the original InDesign documents. This feature eliminates the need to copy large InDesign files into hot folders, which can take significant time especially on a network. Instead, users now can create an alias which only takes a few kilobytes. Output Factory Server will use the alias to open and process the original InDesign file.
Output Factory Server is intended to run on a dedicated Mac station and offers the following key features:
* Output InDesign files from hot folders
* Supports print, PDF, PostScript, TIFF, EPUB and other formats
* Export as single pages
* Automatic email notifications
* Layer versioning
* Variable output file names
* Automatic preflighting
Pricing and Availability:
Output Factory Server can be purchased from Zevrix web site for $699.95 (USD), as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The upgrade cost is $350 for the licensed users of Output Factory Server 1.x and BatchOutput Server. Output Factory Server requires Mac OS X 10.7 or later and Adobe InDesign CS5-CC 2017.
