Output Factory Server for Adobe InDesign Is Now a 64-bit Application

Zevrix Solutions announces Output Factory Server 1.0.4, a maintenance update to its output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Output Factory Server automates printing and exporting from InDesign by processing files from watched hot folders and is a major upgrade of the company’s program BatchOutput Server. The new version makes Output Factory Server a fully 64-bit native application, thus improving its performance and reducing the likelihood of memory-related errors.

Toronto (ON), Canada (December 17, 2013) — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory Server 1.0.4, a maintenance update to its solution to automate printing, exporting and post-processing from Adobe InDesign. Developed originally for a major magazine publisher in the United States to free up their operator computers from outputting InDesign files, the software automates InDesign workflow by processing files from watched hot folders.

The new version makes Output Factory Server a fully 64-bit native application, thus improving its performance and reducing the likelihood of memory-related errors. One of the main advantages of 64-bit support for the users is the ability to create images from oversized InDesign documents at high resolution. In previous versions, exporting a large InDesign document as a TIFF image of over 500 MB in size could lead to memory-related errors.

“Output Factory Server is an extremely useful utility for a busy production facility or advertising agency”, writes David Creamer in Layers magazine, “It can save lots of time – which equates to money.”

Output Factory Server offers the following key features:

Print and export InDesign files automatically from watched hot folders
-Support for printing, PDF, PostScript, EPS, JPEG, Flash, EPUB and other formats
Export InDesign files as single pages
-Layer versioning: output specific layers and their combinations as single files
-Update modified links automatically
-Variable output file names
-Preflight files before output
Automatic e-mail notifications of process stages and errors

Output Factory Server also allows for a single set of output settings for an entire workgroup, solving problems caused by inconsistent settings across workstations and dramatically simplifying support tasks.

Pricing and Availability:
Output Factory Server can be purchased from Zevrix web site for US$699.95, as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. BatchOutput Server users can upgrade for $349.97. Output Factory Server runs on Mac OS X 10.6-10.9 and works with Adobe InDesign CS3-CC.
