Zevrix Solutions Releases LinkOptimizer for InDesign

Zevrix Solutions today announced the release of LinkOptimizer, the solution for reducing the size of images linked to Adobe InDesign document automatically.
LinkOptimizer will help users save valuable storage space, time and reduce production costs by eliminating excessive image data. The program will reduce the size of linked images whose effective resolution is higher than user defined target resolution, and images that were cropped in InDesign. LinkOptimizer will open images in Adobe Photoshop, automatically reduce their resolution, as well as scale and crop the images according to their dimensions in InDesign document. LinkOptimizer will then reimport the images into InDesign document at 100% in their precise position.
LinkOptimizer will save, depending on a project, hours and even days of production time it could take to perform this task manually. Publishing houses, design firms, printers, and service bureaus of any size will dramatically benefit from using LinkOptimizer in a variety of ways:

  • saving valuable hard drive and backup storage space,
  • Increasing speed of printing the documents and creating PDF files,
  • Saving valuable time when transferring jobs to outside sources,
  • optimizing job size for transferring by e-mail,
  • reducing the job cost through faster processing by service providers,
  • speeding up the overall job turnaround.

LinkOptimizer also allows users to back up original images before processing, provides detailed feedback on every stage, and shows the amount of space saved by processing.
