Toronto (ON), Canada — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory Server 1.2.15, a feature update to its solution to automate printing, exporting and post-processing from Adobe InDesign.

Under the Output Factory Server workflow, production artists, prepress operators and designers simply copy InDesign jobs to hot folders that reside on a network. Users can create hot folders for different output targets such as hi-res PDF, large format printing, Flash files and so on. The software offers the following key features:

–Print and export InDesign files automatically from hot folders
-Supports print, PDF, PostScript, TIFF, HTML, EPUB and other formats
-Automatic variable email notifications
–Export InDesign files as single pages
-Layer versioning
-Variable output file names
-Preflight files before output
-Serve unlimited users on a network
