Output Factory is the ultimate solution to automate InDesign’s output tasks – whether you need to output hundreds of documents or just a single one.

With just a click of a button you can enable batch printing, layer versioning, automatic preflighting, variable names and much more! Just add InDesign files, select output options – and Output Factory will do the rest automatically.

Batch Processing

Output multiple InDesign documents and books with just a click of a button. Let Output Factory work while you’re on a lunch break. Or leave it working overnight to output hundreds of files – and pick up the job when you return in the morning.

Preflight

With Output Factory, output errors are a thing of the past. Thoroughly check files using InDesign’s preflight or Output Factory’s own options, and skip files with errors. Review errors in the History with their detailed description.

Layer Versioning

Output InDesign layers and their combinations as separate files automatically – an indispensable feature for multilingual documents and other projects with layered content.

Variable File Names

Output Factory offers unmatched abilities to create variable output file names based on page number, layers, date and other attributes. You can even insert text from your documents using the script label variable.

Smart Output Location

Easily manage output files by saving them in dynamically created subfolder tree with variable names.

Custom Scripts

Run custom AppleScript and JavaScript scripts during processing. This new feature offers virtually unlimited possibilities to customize and further automate your workflows.

Output to Multiple Formats at Once

Create sequences of workflows to output InDesign files to multiple formats at once. For example, create an action to export files as hi-res PDF, lo-res PDF, and send them to a laser printer – all with just a click of a button.

History

You can rely on Output Factory to track InDesign documents you sent to output along with the error log and the list of output files.

"Using Output Factory is straightforward... The time savings are huge. If you find yourself repeatedly exporting InDesign files in various formats, you owe it to yourself to install the free trial and see just how much time you’ll save using Output Factory."

InDesign Magazine

August 2018

"With Output Factory, I've got our magazine production down to six minutes from three hours. Once I set up all my presets, it was insane how fast it was. I load all my InDesign docs into Output Factory, press play, go grab a coffee and come back to my entire magazine."
