And because BatchOutput can run in the background, you can still keep working on your computer thus using your production time even more efficiently.

Major Features:

1. BatchOutput Server: BatchOutput Server runs on a dedicated machine and watches hotfolders linked to its workflow settings. BatchOutput Server performs all its tasks automatically and can run absolutely unattended.
2. Workflows: Workflow is a group of output settings specified in BatchOutput Server. You can create workflows for printing and export to PDF and PostScript. The workflow settings are linked to hotfolders watched by BatchOutput Server.
3. Hotfolders: Hotfolders reside on server volumes available to other computers on the network. Users copy InDesign files into hotfolders watched by BatchOutput Server. The InDesign files in hotfolders are processed automatically using the linked workflow settings.
4. Export as Single Pages: BatchOutput Server can automatically export InDesign documents as single page PDF and PostScript files.
5. Automatic Error Handling: BatchOutput Server checks files for basic problems during processing and can skip files when missing links or fonts, invalid page range and other errors are detected.
6. E-mail Notifications: BatchOutput Server can send automatic e-mail notifications during processing. In each workflow you specify whether to send the notifications or not, and which E-mail Template to use. Notifications are triggered by user defined events, such as errors, font activation, process stages and others.
7. Automatic Font Activation: BatchOutput Server can automatically activate document fonts collected with the InDesign file into Hotfolder. Both Mac and PC fonts can be activated.
8. Variable File Names: BatchOutput Server offers unmatched capabilities to create variable output file names, which can include page number, date, script label and other components.

10. Logs and History: BatchOutput Server logs all its activity into daily logs and lets instantly view the process history for each file.
11. Remote Monitoring: Users can monitor BatchOutput Server from other computers on the network using the BatchOutput Server Monitor application. The Remote Monitoring can be enabled via Bonjour network services or Shared Data Folder.
