Output Factory Server for Adobe InDesign Improves Email Notifications

Zevrix Solutions announces Output Factory Server 1.1, a feature update to its output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Output Factory Server automates printing and exporting from InDesign by processing files from hot folders. The software offloads output tasks to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process. The new version introduces a new email notification engine with support for SSL connection security and improved performance on OS X Yosemite.

Toronto (ON), Canada (February 4, 2014) — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory Server 1.1, a feature 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 introduces a new email notification engine which adds support for SSL and TLS connection security, transfer progress and other advanced features. The new engine also solves some email transmission issues on Mac OS X Yosemite.

“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.”

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 types such as hi-res PDF, large format printing, EPUB files and so on. The software offers the following key features:

Print and export InDesign files automatically from watched hot folders
-Supports print, PDF, PostScript, EPS, JPEG, Flash, EPUB and other formats
Export InDesign files as single pages
Layer versioning: export layer combinations as single files
-Variable output file names
-Preflight files before output
-Automatic e-mail notifications on processing stages and errors
-Serves unlimited users on a network

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 $350. Output Factory Server runs on Mac OS X 10.6-10.10 and works with Adobe InDesign CS3-CC 2014.
