Output Factory offers batch printing, export as single pages with variable file names, layer versioning, automatic preflighting of InDesign files before output, output to several formats at once, and much more.

Just select the InDesign documents, adjust settings, and Output Factory will do the rest for you automatically.

A must have tool for any Indesign professional! Great, if not endless, possibilities. Backoffice and aftersales is also a solid. Thanks Leo Revzin for making great software!

Output Factory has streamlined my workflow from the moment I started using it. I've been running a small design/photography business for around 6 years now. I'm a big Indesign user so I love the way this simply integrates with it. Just recently had to send 20 separate PDF proofs to a client. PDF'ing each one is a little time consuming especially when I secure each PDF with a password. Output Factory takes care of all of that for me. I simply add the files I want to PDF, hit EXPORT AS A PDF and away it goes. Recently I also had a whole heap of INDD files that someone else needed but they're on an older version of Indesign than me? No problem. I loaded all the files up into Output Factory and it automatically converted them all to IDML files, saving my sanity. I still haven't even touched the surface with this program. But I am finding it is a massive time saver and I did get sick and tired of the same repetitive tasks. I've even set up an Action that allows me to convert a logo into different formats. Each day I am finding something else it saves time. I wish I found this application sooner. Very friendly and efficient support too. I cannot recommend this software highly enough.

This is one of these apps that save you so much time that you don't want to miss it anymore.
We use it to make PDFs for all purposes, to save images with specific filenames for all purposes and a lot more.
The support is one of the best I have ever seen. Very responsive, usually they answer your mails in a few hours, in all cases my problems were solved.

Would give 6 stars if possible.
