MadeToPrint is the ideal solution especially when specific documents have to be processed in several languages and versions. The tool optimizes production and ensures flawless results, e.g. through the standardized assignment of file names, the addition of document info bars, the flexible processing of language layers and, last but not least, the provision of a completely imposed, print-ready PDF file. This results in an enormous increase of efficiency as well as considerable time and cost savings. MadeToPrint can be easily integrated into any production automation solution. A configurator for Enfocus Switch makes it easy to set up the entire workflow.

MadeToPrint is the optimal solution to work satisfactorily and produce efficiently. It relieves designers of repetitive, technical settings required to prepare for printing. The time saved can be used to be creative! Production managers just have to configure their output job sets once. These are then made available to all users so that an identical and flawless output result can be obtained from each workstation with a single mouse click. Output errors, problems with layers, misprints, etc. are eliminated by checking and pre-setting the output processes. 

With MadeToPrint, axaio offers a solution for automating PDF output from Adobe Illustrator with advantages such as time and cost savings as well as error prevention. For packaging design and prepress staff, MadeToPrint is the ideal tool to automate the creation of individual packaging versions, standardize file naming, and ensure consistency of output data. Once an output specification is set up in a MadeToPrint job set, all files processed with that job set are output according to the same specification. With MadeToPrint for Illustrator, you can extract different types of versions from the same master file (e.g. different language versions, low-resolution versions for customer approval, versions with technical data for die cutting and many more).

Packaging designers and prepress professionals can now create PDF files from Illustrator without worrying about whether complex layer structures are displayed correctly or whether naming conventions and other production specifications are set correctly.

• Target different output channels:
  drive different destination printers in in your network or export to several file formats from a single job set
• Export to different file formats:
  export InDesign files to JPEG, PDF, EPS, PostScript, INX, SWF, IDML, Flash or InDesign Packages
