Badia Printools for Adobe InDesign
CS3 provides prepress and printing professionals with a powerful
collection of printing tools for automated and error-free output.
In one comprehensive package you get batch printing of multiple
documents, rename at print, print to file in different formats, and
preflighting. You can even combine several of these tools during
the same print session to streamline complex printing
tasks.
Batch Printing
The
batch printing tool allows you to print multiple files (up to 5000
documents) with the same print settings. Simply select the files
you wish to print, arrange them in any order you like, and hit the
Print button. You can even combine batch printing with Save to File
to generate multiple PostScript files at once.
Save to File as PostScript, PDF
or INX
This tool
allows you to save the printout to a designated folder as a
PostScript, PDF, or INX file. When combined with batch printing,
you can generate hundreds of these files in one single step.
Preflighting
The preflighting engine
quickly and thoroughly checks for potential problems that could
lead to time and material waste. Customize the preflight checks by
activating any of the following diagnostics: missing fonts, text
overflows, non-printing graphics, broken picture links, RGB images,
modified links, and poor image resolution.
Printools 5.0 for Adobe InDesign makes it
easy to keep track of the printed files with the powerful Print Log
window. This window reports in real time which files are being
printed (or saved), plus any errors or warnings that may occur
during the output process. It also shows the Preflight Results list
with all the preflighting details, and the Skipped Documents list,
with the documents that have been skipped for not meeting the
preflight requirements.
Rename at
Print
You can now
rename the document during the output stage, without altering the
actual document or file name. Print renaming is useful for
identifying the document during the output stage, regardless of the
actual file name. It is also helpfull in keeping track of revisions
or when printing individual pages for imposition. Printools lets
you specify up to 3 variable components in the new
name.
