Zevrix Solutions announces BatchOutput Server 4.7, a feature update to its output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. The software automates printing and exporting to PDF and PostScript by processing InDesign files from watched hotfolders. The software offloads printing and exporting to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process. The new update lets users take advantage of InDesign’s imposition engine during printing and improves links handling.

Toronto (ON), Canada, January 20, 2011 — Zevrix Solutions today released BatchOutput Server 4.7, a feature update to its powerful output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Originally developed 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 hotfolders. The software offloads printing and exporting to PDF and PostScript to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process.

The new update adds the ability to impose booklets during printing directly from BatchOutput Server by using InDesign’s Print Booklet feature, helping commercial printers automate and streamline InDesign imposition tasks. The new version also gives an option to ignore links on pasteboard when checking InDesign documents for missing images.

“BatchOutput 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.”

Under BatchOutput Server workflow, ( http://zevrix.com/BatchOutputServer.php ) production artists and prepress operators simply submit InDesign files to hotfolders that reside on the network. BatchOutput Server automatically outputs the files from its dedicated station using hotfolder settings, and will auto-activate document fonts as well. Operator workstations will never again be tied up by the output process. The workflow also ensures that correct output settings will be always used.

BatchOutput Server offers the following key features and benefits:

-Process InDesign files automatically from hotfolders
-Export files as single pages
-Update modified links automatically
-Assign complex variable output file names
-Auto-activate document fonts
-Automatic e-mail notifications of process stages and errors
-Detailed processing logs and visual file tracking
-Easy to install and set up

BatchOutput is also available in a single user version to automate printing and exporting from InDesign on individual stations.

Pricing and Availability:
BatchOutput Server can be purchased from Zevrix web site for US$699.95, as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The update is free for licensed users. BatchOutput Server is a Universal Binary, runs on Mac OS X 10.4.2-10.6 and works with Adobe InDesign CS2-CS5.

Zevrix Solutions announces LinkOptimizer 4.5, a feature update to its popular workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 stars by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer allows to reduce InDesign job size and speed up processing by eliminating excess image data, performing essential image adjustments and converting file formats. The new update adds the ability to convert image color space to an ICC profile space, with full control over how the conversion is done.

Toronto (ON), Canada – December 22, 2010 – Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of LinkOptimizer 4.5, a feature update to its popular workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 4 out of 5 stars by Computer Arts magazine, LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time and reduce production costs.

The new update adds the ability to convert image color space to an ICC profile space in Photoshop, giving users much greater accuracy of color conversion, with full control over how the conversion is done. Previously, only conversion between color modes was possible.

“LinkOptimizer makes me extremely happy!”, says Nynke Tiekstra, the owner of design studio ColtsfootMedia in Friesland, Netherlands, “It converted 10000 images in a 1800 pages project saving us at least 40 hours work, and it proved to be 100% accurate.”

LinkOptimizer is designed to meet the needs of ad agencies, prepress bureaus, printers and publishing houses. The software works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert various image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

-scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign,
-change their resolution to 300 ppi,
-convert all RGB images to CMYK,
-resave all JPEG images as TIFF,
-run Photoshop Action on each image.

At the end of processing, LinkOptimizer will reimport images to InDesign at 100% in their precise position.

As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually, accelerate document output, reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Pricing and Availability:
LinkOptimizer 4.5 can be purchased from the Zevrix Solutions web site, http://www.zevrix.com, for US$259.95 as well as from authorized resellers. The update is free for LinkOptimizer 4.x users and $98.78 from previous versions. Trial is also available for download. LinkOptimizer is available for Mac OS X 10.4.2-10.6, a Universal Binary, and works with Adobe InDesign CS2-CS5.
