Zevrix Solutions today announces public beta of Output Factory 1.0, a new professional solution to automate printing, exporting and post-processing from Adobe InDesign. Output Factory is a major upgrade of the company's widely popular BatchOutput, which automates and simplifies workflows of printers, service providers and publishing houses worldwide.

Output Factory is more than just a plug-in - it's a workflow solution that interacts with Acrobat Pro preflight engine, provides file delivery capabilities and integrates fully with the Finder. Users can keep working with other programs while Output Factory processes InDesign files in the background. Or they can let it work while they're on a lunch break or leave it working overnight to output hundreds of documents, and the job will be done when they return in the morning.

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

- Print and export hundreds of InDesign files with a single click.
- Output files as single pages.
- NEW: Save groups of output settings as workflows.
- Update modified links automatically.
- Assign complex variable file names.
- NEW: Compose variable names interactively using tokens.
- NEW: Output sequence of document layers or their combinations.
- NEW: Preflight documents using InDesign preflight or built-in options.
- NEW: Skip files with specific errors.
- Preflight final PDF automatically with Acrobat Pro droplets.
- Send output files over Internet and locally with email notifications.
