Toronto (ON), Canada - Zevrix Solutions has announced BatchOutput Server 4.2, an update to its powerful output workflow automation solution for Adobe InDesign. The software automates printing and exporting to PDF and PostScript by processing InDesign files from network-based hotfolders. BatchOutput Server automates, simplifies, and streamlines output workflows of publishing houses, printers, prepress service providers and ad agencies. BatchOutput Server can process InDesign files from both Mac and Windows computers.
BatchOutput Server saves companies countless hours that are lost each year because operators have to wait for InDesign to print and export files. With BatchOutput Server, production artists, designers and prepress operators simply submit InDesign files to hotfolders that reside on the network. BatchOutput Server automatically outputs the files from its dedicated station using hotfolder settings, and will auto-activate document fonts as well. Operator workstations will never again be tied up by the output process.
Major BatchOutput Server features and benefits include:
* Process InDesign files from hotfolders
* Free operator stations from output process
* Use a single set of output settings for entire workgroup
* Font auto-activation
* Export files as single pages
* Update modified links automatically
* Variable output file names
* E-mail notifications of process stages and errors
* Monitor BatchOutput Server from user stations
* Detailed logs
The new version allows users to keep entire job folders after output for further processing, delete all processed files automatically, and introduces some interface improvements.
Pricing and Availability:
BatchOutput Server 4.2 can be purchased from the Zevrix Solutions web site for $499.95 ( USD), as well as from authorized resellers. Demo is also available for download. BatchOutput Server is a Universal Binary and runs on Mac OS X 10.4 and higher.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., June 25, 2009 — Lattice Technology®, developers of digital manufacturing applications using the XVL® format, today announced that it is now an Adobe Solution Partner.
Lattice Technology is integrating its applications with Adobe® Acrobat® 9 Pro Extended software to allow 3D CAD data contained within PDF documents to be quickly and easily enhanced with additional data relevant to downstream processes. This data will, in due course, include inter-related parts lists and BOMs, annotations, process designs and instructions, assembly animations, motion simulations and more. That data can then be saved back into the PDF document for sharing and collaboration across the manufacturing enterprise by anyone with free Adobe Reader® software.
“Lattice Technology’s mission is to make 3D product data relevant and usable to the rest of the manufacturing enterprise,” stated Bill Barnes, GM, Lattice Technology. “We are increasingly seeing manufacturing companies use PDF to share 3D data. By integrating Lattice Technology’s proven Digital Manufacturing solutions with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended, more people in manufacturing can quickly and easily access the right data exactly when they need it. XVL with PDF means this 3D manufacturing data can be shared easily, safely and consistently in the ubiquitous PDF format.”
“Publishing accurate B-rep 3D data to PDF with Acrobat 9 Pro Extended has allowed manufacturers to collaborate easily with anyone, anywhere. Now, with Lattice’s ability to enrich the 3D data within a PDF for use beyond product design, our customers can deliver information that concisely meets the needs of downstream users,” said Greg Baker, senior manager, Manufacturing Strategic Alliances, Adobe Systems Incorporated. “Lattice and Adobe will help customers extend the value of their design data far beyond the CAD and PDM systems. We are excited to have Lattice Technology join the Adobe Solution Partner program.”
Integrated XVL products that support PDF will be announced, and will be available from Lattice Technology and its reseller channel.
Coincidentally, customers can learn more about using 3D to improve lean manufacturing through the new e-book, ‘Improving Lean Manufacturing Through 3D Data’ by Dr. Hiroshi Toriya, available as a free download. The book delivers a series of case studies, survey data and information that help manufacturers understand how to take 3D out of the design stage and make it relevant to a lean manufacturing strategy. This book is available at Lattice Technology’s web site at: www.lattice3d.com

CSRwire.com — SAN JOSE, Calif. - June 25, 2009 – The Adobe Foundation today announced it will host the first Adobe Youth Voices Summit, a three-day digital media immersion event for 100 specially selected international youth (ages 14-19) and educators, to be held at Stanford University. The summit, taking place July 30 - Aug. 1, 2009, will bring together youth from underserved communities around the world for creative workshops focused on all aspects of digital media, including filmmaking, photography, animation and design. The first-of-its-kind summit is designed to empower youth to create media for social change and foster a deeper sense of social and civic engagement.
During the summit, students will participate in hands-on workshops led by Adobe employee volunteers and digital media experts and learn to work with many of the same tools that media, Hollywood, and creative professionals use. The youth will create new digital media projects focused on social and political topics of personal interest. The summit will culminate on Sat., Aug. 1 at the Adobe Youth Voices Live! event, which will showcase the youth media work in exhibitions and screenings.
“Now more than ever, youth need to be able to relate to other cultures, geographies and ideas, and to express themselves through 21st century tools like digital media,” said Michelle Mann, executive director of the Adobe Foundation.”The best education empowers and engages students. Unlocking creativity is part of it. We believe youth who can express themselves and consider other points of view will ultimately be those who become leaders and better citizens within their communities.”
“My goal is to excite my students by exposing them to what other young people are doing,” said Tricia Taylor, a media studies educator from London who will attend the summit with her students. “This is such a rare opportunity for them to meet like-minded young people from outside London and find out how similar or different they are.”
More than 60 youth from 16 countries will be traveling from outside the U.S., many for the first time, to attend the summit. Teams of youth and educators were selected from Argentina, Australia, Bahrain, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Egypt, India, Jordan, Pakistan, the Russian Federation, Uganda, the United Kingdom and the U.S.
“I want to attend the Adobe Youth Voices Summit to work with my peers, share and learn how to use media to voice concerns about issues that plague our communities, said Débora Araújo Teles from the Centro Interescolar de Linguas de Taguatinga, Brazil. “I’d like to better understand what we can do to transform the education system that is defective in our countries, collectively. It will be a hard task to accomplish but together we can make a difference.”
