User

As an end user, you can expect the following new features.

Create full PDFs via Adobe InDesign Server

Users of the multichannel publishing solution can now initiate publication of an entire product consisting of multiple InDesign templates and have an overall PDF generated via the InDesign Server.

Replacing content in layout templates

As of this version, text and image content can be swapped and repositioned in layout templates as often as desired. This enables more efficient work in the phase of automated typesetting.

Publishing PDFs via Antenna House Formatter

Users can create PDF data from XML or HTML sources fully automated from this version onwards. If a corresponding configuration exists, the option is available under "Publish" on a product in Multichannel Publishing.

Administrators

As administrators, you can expect the following new features.

Use of color profiles and fonts from the DAM

Administrators now have the option of easily linking the fonts and color profiles from Digital Asset Management in the multichannel publishing configurations.

Antenna House Formatter Publication Service and Delivery Format

Administrators of the multichannel publishing solution can now define production services for the Antenna House Formatter and associated delivery formats for PDF generation using PrintCSS in the configuration.

Publication service and delivery format for Adobe InDesign Server

Administrators of the multichannel publishing solution can now create delivery formats in the configuration for overall PDF generation using Adobe InDesign Server. The existing production service configuration has been extended with the ability to define fonts and color profiles for use.

Determining the version of layout templates

After uploading a new template or a new file to an existing layout template, the Adobe InDesign version of the document is automatically determined and can be viewed in the metadata. This helps administrators to check and assign the appropriate InDesign Server production service.
