The software offloads document collection to a central system thus freeing user’s time for important tasks such as design and layout. Operator workstations will never again be tied up by the packaging process.

Package Central performs all its tasks automatically on a dedicated machine and can run absolutely unattended. The app offers the following key features and benefits:

–Package InDesign files from watched hot folders
-Create hot folders for various collection settings
-Create PDF and IDML files on the fly
–Variable email notifications on process stages and errors
-Variable package folder names
–Update modified links automatically
