Output Factory for InDesign User Guide

Workflows

Workflows are groups of Output Factory output settings you can save and reuse with your output jobs (similar to the way print and export presets work in InDesign).
""
You can create unlimited number of workflows for each output format (Print, PDF, EPS etc.) The selected workflow will be used by Output Factory to output files in the queue.
""
Output Factory workflows are stored in this folder:

~/Library/Application Support/Zevrix/Output Factory/Workflows
""
Each workflow is stored in a separate file with the .ofwf extension.

 

Create/duplicate workflows
Click the [+] button below the Workflows table. Output Factory will create a new workflow based on the current selected workflow.

Renaming workflows
You rename workflows the same way as files in the Finder.
Note: Workflow names can't start with the • sign.

Saving workflows
As you make changes to workflow settings, you have two options to save them: manually and automatically. Use the Auto-save workflows control in Preferences to select the desired option.
""
Save manually
When workflow has unsaved changes, the • sign is added to the beginning of workflow name and the save workflows button button becomes available. Click it, or use the Cmd-S shortcut to save the current workflow.
If you switch workflows without saving, the changes won't be saved.
""
Auto-save
Select the Auto-save workflows option in Preferences to save workflows automatically. The Save button won't be available and all the changes will be saved automatically as you make them.

Delete workflows
Click the [-] button below the Workflows table. You can hold the Option key to bypass the deletion warning dialog.

Export workflows
Use the workflow action menu action menu to export the current workflow or all workflows for the current output format.

Note: When you export all format workflows, a separate .ofwf file for each workflow will be created.

Import workflows
Use the workflow action menu > Import Workflows menu to import Output Factory workflows. You can select a single .ofwf files or multiple ones.
