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.
