- Combining multiple output steps and executing them simultaneously:
Create job sets that contain several output steps and combine different
types of printout or export to be launched as one output step.
- Easy export and import of saved jobs.
- Flexible control of export parameters.
- Target different output channels in parallel:
Driving output to different destination printers in your network or
exporting to several file formats from a single job set,
saving output in predefined target paths/folders.
- Export to different file formats:
Export InDesign files to JPEG, PDF, interactive PDF, EPS,
PostScript, INX, SWF, IDML, Flash or InDesign Packages.
MadeToPrint uses the native inbuilt export mechanism of InDesign;
thus all PDF standards and substandards that InDesign supports
are available for export with MadeToPrint.
However, due to the available extended PDF post-process feature
running callas pdfToolbox profiles in MadeToPrint (see below),
those exported PDFs can be converted to whatever format
pdfToolbox supports (be aware that this is no plain export,
so not all features might be supported).
- Extended PDF check with ’PDF Post-Process’:
Run a preflight check and fixes during PDF export
based on embedded callas pdfToolbox technology:
- Reliable PDF verification during export.
- Configurable PDF profiles (according to own requirements)
for export of "tailor-made" PDF files.
- Processing layers individually or in combinations:
Combine layers flexibly and output them as variants,
e.g. for multilingual files or regional versions.
- Support for tokens / variables:
Tokens are variables that allow flexible output settings.
- Dynamic rule-based definition of file and folder names:
Configure destination file and folder names based on rules
and use tokens (variables) to insert information at runtime;
conveniently choose from token list to set up your own configuration.
- Flexible handling of files/folders/books:
Process current document, all open documents,
all documents in a book or all documents in a folder.
- Preflighting before printing/exporting:
Check document for missing/changed links or missing fonts before output.
- Font loading and image update:
Load required fonts and update modified images before output.
- Single page output from a multi page document:
Print all pages or spreads of an InDesign document individually,
or export each as a separate single file.
- Generating info bars on printouts and in PostScript based file:
Create a slug at the top of a page in printed output
and exported EPS or PostScript files.
- Manage multifunctional layer views in Adobe InDesign
from within axaio MadeToPrint with axaio MadeForLayers:
Group different layers in one design document into logical combinations;
create one single layer view for each language or regional version or
provide a technical, marketing-oriented and legal view of a design
- with a single mouse click.
- Optimizations in the editing mode:
The job list in editing mode selects the jobs now more conveniently,
e.g. for job naming and rating settings; it behaves more logically,
especially when duplicating, deleting and creating new jobs.
Furthermore, a new InDesign menu entry has been added under
'Plug-Ins' to directly access the MadeToPrint editing mode:
