Zevrix Releases Output Factory Server for Adobe InDesign

Zevrix Solutions announces Output Factory Server, a new 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. Output Factory Server offloads InDesign’s output to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process. It offers layer versioning, email notifications, preflighting and more.

Toronto (ON), Canada (November 5, 2013) — Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory Server, a new solution to automate printing, exporting and post-processing from Adobe InDesign. Developed originally for a major magazine publisher in the United States, the software automates InDesign workflow by processing files from watched hot folders.

Under 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 any type of output – for example, hi-res PDF, large format printing, EPUB files and so on. The program automatically outputs the files from its dedicated station using hot folder 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.

Output Factory Server offers the following key features:

Process 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
-Send final files to FTP, Amazon S3 and other locations

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.
