Batch Export InDesign and QuarkXPress Documents. Extract Text

Exportools Professional allows you to output multi-page InDesign or QuarkXPress documents as single-page or multi-page files.

With more than a dozen of formats to choose from, Exportools Professional is the only tool you need to export

pages, spreads, text and images for print, web or portable devices.

Exportools Professional 4 incorporates PDF-to-image conversion, text and picture extraction,

the ability to export open documents, layer management, a brand-new interface, and much more.

You can extract all document text and pictures, retaining most of the formatting and page layout order. Extracted pictures can be reduced in file size and arranged in different ways within the text flow, in order to optimize their appearance when viewed on web pages, word processing documents, or tablets.

As an added bonus, exporting text and pictures as Apple Pages* documents will in turn allow you to save those documents as ePubs that can be read in iBooks.

The preflighting engine quickly and thoroughly analyzes each document for potential problems that could lead to time and material waste. Check for: missing fonts, text overflows, non-printing graphics, broken picture links, RGB images, and poor image resolution.

Once a problem is found, you can select to skip the document in question, stop outputting, or ask the user to decide. Exportools Professional automatically logs all preflight reports for easy tracking, plus you also have the option of saving the log to disk.

Exportools Professional allows you to define file naming templates – a sequence of up to 15 variable placeholders, such as a serial number or time stamp, that change automatically to name each exported file. Using file naming templates allows for easy identification of the exported files, and prevents unwanted duplicate file names.

You can also organize the exported files that belong to each original document by creating subfolders inside the destination folder.

The Output Log of Exportools Professional keeps track of all the files being exported or printed. You can monitor in real-time which files have been successfully or unsuccessfully processed, and get detailed info of any errors or warnings.

Once the output is completed, you’ll have the option to open all or some of the exported files with any application that you choose, or with the default application.

For each processed document, Exportools Professional can then flag it as Done/Failed, remove it from the list, or move it to a different folder.

You can flag processed documents as “Done/Failed and Ready for Next Output”, meaning that those files can then be exported again to a different format, for example.

Exportools Professional also logs in detail the documents that failed, so you can easily locate them, open, and fix any problem or issue that caused the output to fail.

Also available on the Mac App Store version 3.2.2.
(Version 4.0.0 pending approval)

Exportools Professional gives you these 3 possibilities to add files:

Custom File List: Drag-and-drop InDesign or QuarkXPress documents from the Finder into the interactive file list.

Watched Folder: Have Exportools Professional periodically scan a watched folder. Newly dropped files will be automatically added to the queue.

Open Documents: Export or print those documents currently open in InDesign or QuarkXPress.

Use custom presets to save settings currently chosen in Exportools Professional. For example, you can have profiles for PDF workflows, text extraction, watched folders, etc. You can easily redefine, revert, add, rename, and remove presets.

Presets can also be saved and loaded when needed, which makes it easy to share them within the workplace.

With Exportools Professional you can batch export InDesign or QuarkXPress documents to any of these formats: PDF, PostScript, JPEG, TIFF, PNG, RTF, Microsoft Word documents, HTML, Web Archive, Apple Pages* documents, or Plain Text. Or you can also batch print documents and send them directly to a printer queue.

The same application handles both InDesign and QuarkXPress documents, and supports InDesign CS3-CS6, as well as QuarkXPress 8-9.

*Requires Apple Pages ’09 version 4.1 or later.
