XChange International announce the release of Exportools 1.0

    PRESS RELEASE:

(DMN Newswire)–Jun 12, 2007–XChange International, the source for extend­ed tech­nol­o­gy world­wide, are pleased to announce the release and imme­di­ate avail­abil­i­ty of the Exportools plug-in for Adobe InDesign CS3. Exportools for Adobe InDesign auto­mates the process of sav­ing and export­ing the con­tents of indi­vid­ual pages into sep­a­rate files, whether it’s for remote print­ing, impo­si­tion, archiv­ing or porta­bil­i­ty purposes.

Printers and pre­press hous­es world­wide can rely on the pow­er, speed and flex­i­bil­i­ty of Exportools to gen­er­ate high res­o­lu­tion out­put using today’s print­ing stan­dards: EPS, PostScript® and PDF. Additionally, Exportools can intel­li­gent­ly extract all the text and pro­duce images of each page for archiv­ing or cataloguing.

Because Exportools cre­ates dozens or even hun­dreds of files, it’s essen­tial that a prop­er file nam­ing scheme is avail­able to guar­an­tee that each file has a dif­fer­ent name, and that it can eas­i­ly be recog­nised. That’s why Exportools comes with a smart name com­po­si­tion engine that allows users to spec­i­fy vari­able place­hold­ers, such as page or ser­i­al num­bers, that change auto­mat­i­cal­ly to unique­ly name each export­ed file. By com­bin­ing these vari­ables with oth­er place­hold­ers or any cus­tom text, Exportools pro­vides vir­tu­al­ly end­less file nam­ing possibilities.

Exportools can also be con­fig­ured to open each of the saved files with a â€œpost-processing” appli­ca­tion a user choos­es. For exam­ple, users can select Adobe Photoshop to open the saved EPS files; or have Microsoft Word open the pages they just export­ed as text. Exportools also keeps track of the recent post-processing appli­ca­tions used, so it lets users quick­ly switch back and forth between these programs.

Exportools for InDesign sup­ports these out­put for­mats: EPS, PostScript, PDF, plain text and JPEG. For PostScript and PDF out­put, any pre­set already defined in a user’s InDesign appli­ca­tion can be used. Users can also spec­i­fy which pages to export and whether the out­put should be cre­at­ed as sin­gle pages or spreads.

System Requirements:
Adobe InDesign CS3 and Mac OS X 10.4.2 or later.
Exportools is also avail­able as an XTensions mod­ule for QuarkXPress 4, 5, 6 and 7.
