(Berlin, Germany) axaio software, developer of solutions for PDF creation, printing and content correction workflows for Adobe InDesign and QuarkXpress environments, announces the availability of the latest version of its MadeToPrint line of products. This version adds the ability to output fully imposed PDFs to its feature set.

axaio software products are available in the Americas from Tools4Media www.tools4media.com.

MadeToPrint standardizes output of InDesign or Quark documents.
axaio’s MadeToPrint standardizes output of InDesign or Quark documents. Many times files need to be sent to different locations, with different file requirements, or one file can contain multiple language versions. MadeToPrint allows saving all these settings in one simple PrintJob for consistent, hassle-free output. MadeToPrint also permits full file-naming control, offering the user the ability to define the name on a set of variables such as Time, Machine Name, Language version, etc.

MadeToPrint product line
axaio’s MadeToPrint product line consists of MadeToPrint Standard, MadeToPrint Auto and MadeToPrint Server; adding with each a level of automation and resilience. The Auto and Server versions integrate seamlessly into publishing systems like vjoon’s K4 or WoodWing’s Smart Connection Enterprise and Enfocus’ Switch automation platform.

Imposition technology from sister company callas
While axaio already had the capability of creating single page output from a multi-page document for easier imposition, it now adds the ability to impose anything from simple booklets to full-fledged brochures and books. The technology comes from axaio’s sister company callas, and is used in callas pdfToolbox and pdfToolbox Server. It is a powerful yet very easy imposition engine that does not require expert operation. MadeToPrint is already very popular with big publishing houses around the globe; now, this feature combined with all of axaio’s other output functionality, opens MadeToPrint up for digital and conventional printers.

axaio’s MadeToPrint PrintJobs can now also be exported and imported for easier exchange of output setting among users or towards customers.

Pricing and availability
The updated MadeToPrint product-line is immediately available.

MadeToPrint Standard sells at €349, MadeToPrint Auto is available from €2490 and MadeToPrint Sever from €5490.

Special, introductory USD pricing for the Americas is available through Tools4Media.
