Zevrix updates BatchOutput Server for InDesign

Press release from the issuing company

Toronto ON, Canada - Zevrix Solutions today is pleased to announce the release of BatchOutput Server 4.2.8, an update to its powerful output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. Originally developed for a major publisher in the United States, the software automates InDesign output by processing files from hotfolders. BatchOutput Server offloads printing and exporting to PDF and PostScript to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process.

Under BatchOutput Server workflow, production artists and prepress operators simply submit 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.

Major BatchOutput Server features and benefits include:
- Process InDesign files from hotfolders
- Use a single set of output settings for entire workgroup
- Font auto-activation
- Export files as single pages
- Update modified links automatically
- Variable output file names
- Customizable e-mail notifications of process stages and errors
- Monitor BatchOutput Server from user stations
- Detailed logs

The new version addresses an issue related to auto-updating of modified links and introduces the ability to save hotfolder settings automatically.
