axaio updates to CS4 and launches MadeToPrint Server

Thursday 02. April 2009 - axaio software, developer of solutions for PDF creation, printing and content correction workflows for Adobe InDesign and QuarkXpress environments, announces that it updated its flagship product MadeToPrint to InDesign CS4.

Simultaneously it has launched MadeToPrint Server, an InDesign Server based solution that offers for 24/7 high volume PDF creation and advanced workflow automation from InDesign files.

MadeToPrint: better, faster and more consistent output from InDesign

MadeToPrint is now available for InDesign CS4. MadeToPrint is a plug-in for InDesign and Xpress for the creation of reliable output. It allows addressing multiple output devices simultaneously, executing various print jobs in one go, token-based file naming and flexible layer output which all go beyond InDesign CS4 and Xpress build-in output functionality. MadeToPrint Auto allows hotfolder based processing, enabling users to output completely unattended.


MadeToPrint + InDesign Server = MadeToPrint Server

With the integration of Adobe InDesign Server and MadeToPrint, axaio software launches a server based solution, taking automatic printing and exporting to an unmatched productivity level in a lights out processing environment.

MadeToPrint Server combines the performance and stability of an InDesign Server with the clever output options of MadeToPrint, offering a secure standard solution that no longer requires a desktop version of InDesign CS3 or CS4 to organize output processes. MadeToPrint Server comes with its own interface for the set-up of jobs directly on the InDesign Server and includes options for remote operation allowing the processes to run invisibly in the background.

MadeToPrint Server can be fully integrated with vjoon K4 and Woodwing Smart Connection Enterprise for fully automated output right from the editorial system.

“MadeToPrint Server delivers massive performance and is highly flexible,” says Achim Kuhlmann, Product Manager of axaio software, “while InDesign Server is a powerful solution, complex functions, such as controlling output processes, need individual programming and it does not have a graphic interface. With MadeToPrint Server we wanted to give an answer to this, using all output functions that our solutions offer”. “I think it is a perfect tool for all companies that want to use InDesign for automated output”.
