BatchOutput automatically prints and exports to PDF, PostScript, EPS and JPEG multiple InDesign documents with a variety of options. Just select the documents you need to output, adjust the settings, and BatchOutput will do the rest for you.
BatchOutput is not just a plug-in - it`s a workflow solution that integrates fully with the Finder, doesn`t limit your ability to manipulate InDesign documents when open, and delivers you the power of a fully integrated InDesign plug-in combined with the flexibility of an independent application.
You can keep working with other programs while BatchOutput processes your InDesign files in the background. Or let it work while you`re on a lunch break. Or you may leave it working overnight if you need to output hundreds of documents - the task will be done when you return in the morning.
