Output Factory Now Can Split Adobe InDesign Files Into Groups of Pages

Press release from the issuing company

Toronto, Ont., Canada – Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of Output Factory 2.3.6, a feature update to company's output automation plug-in for Adobe InDesign. Awarded 5 stars by InDesign Magazine, Output Factory automates and simplifies workflows of printers, ad agencies, and publishing houses worldwide. The software helps eliminate repetitive tasks through batch processing with time-saving output options.

The new version adds the ability to split InDesign files into consecutive groups of several pages using the new "Save as n pages" option. For example, users can split a 30-page document into ten InDesign files of 3 pages each, or fifteen double-page files and so on. In addition, the new update improves export of non-consecutive groups of pages to single PDF files, fixes a file naming issue during IDML output, and addresses a backward compatibility bug with older versions of Output Factory.

"With Output Factory, I've got our magazine production down to six minutes from three hours," says Jeff Middleton, a Toronto, Canada based graphic designer. "Once I set up all my presets, it was insane how fast it was. I load all my InDesign docs into Output Factory, press play, go grab a coffee and come back to my entire magazine."

Output Factory supports printing as well as exporting to PDF, PostScript, EPS, Flash, IDML, EPUB and several image formats. It offers the following key features:

* Batch processing of InDesign files
* Output groups of pages as a single documents
