LinkOptimizer Server for Adobe InDesign Adds Hot Folder Automation - Published on 10/06/20

Zevrix Solutions announces the release of LinkOptimizer Server, a hot folder version of company's image workflow solution for Adobe InDesign. LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks and allows users to reduce the size of InDesign links, convert images, optimize resolution and more. The new server version can serve unlimited users via hot folders on a network and combine LinkOptimizer processing with standard output targets such as PDF, print, EPUB and other formats.

Toronto (ON), Canada - Zevrix Solutions today announces the release of LinkOptimizer Server, a multi-user version of company's workflow automation tool for Adobe InDesign. LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks and lets users reduce the size of InDesign links, convert images, assign color profiles and more. The app can save users countless hours - and even days - of manual processing through automation of repetitive tasks multiplied by centralized hot folder operations.

LinkOptimizer Server is not a standalone tool but an integral part of Zevrix Output Factory Server - the company's long-running solution to automate InDesign's printing and exporting from watched hot folders. LinkOptimizer will now take advantage of the existing and time-proven hot folder facilities of Output Factory Server that automate workflows of printers, publishers, ad agencies, and prepress houses worldwide for well over a decade.

Long requested by LinkOptimizer customers, the new server version will be able to serve unlimited InDesign users on a network from a single installation via watched hot folders. And as LinkOptimizer becomes a part of Output Factory Server, users will be empowered to combine LinkOptimizer processing with standard output workflows such as PDF, print, EPUB and other formats. For example, customers will have an option to resize, convert and relink images by LinkOptimizer - and then export the optimized InDesign file to PDF automatically in one step. The operator only needs to drop the InDesign file into a single hot folder that invokes the multi-workflow processing.

The final combined product branded as Output Factory Server 3 will also enable InDesign workgroups to convert image link formats, resize and crop images to their InDesign dimensions, output InDesign layers and their combinations as single files, assign variable file names, perform automatic preflighting, issue email notifications and much more.

Pricing and Availability:
Output Factory Server 3 with built-in LinkOptimizer Server can be purchased from Zevrix web site for $699.95 (USD), as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The upgrade cost is $350 for the licensed users of earlier Output Factory Server versions and BatchOutput Server. LinkOptimizer users can get a $200 discount. Output Factory Server requires macOS 10.12 or later and Adobe InDesign CC 2018-2020.

All-New Disk Drill for Mac v4: Up to a 200% Recovery Efficiency Increase

A new article has been published at prMac.

All-New Disk Drill for Mac v4: Up to a 200% Recovery Efficiency Increase - Published on 10/06/20

Virginia based CleverFiles today announces Disk Drill for Mac version 4, its full-featured data recovery solution for macOS. Disk Drill boasts a robust set of file recovery tools that can undelete files from almost any device (including data extraction from devices with the T2 encryption chip), offering iOS 14 and Android Recovery, macOS Big Sur support. In addition to well-known recovery and protection algorithms, the release of version 4 is powered by free features like Data Shredder and more.

Alexandria, Virginia - Today, CleverFiles announces the release of the new version of Disk Drill for Mac, ready for macOS 11 Big Sur and data recovery from iOS 14. Disk Drill can scan and recover over 400 file types with a press of a single button, right from your computer's internal or external drive, or any supported storage device. Files can be recovered whole, or reconstructed in the event of a damaged drive.

According to the recent Data Recovery Survey 2020 conducted by CleverFiles, 63% of respondents have recently lost their personal digital data, and 42% of them weren't able to recover their data.

For fast, reliable file recovery Disk Drill comes with advanced scanning algorithms to identify and reconstruct deleted files in over 400 different file formats, including the new raw photo, videos and audio formats. Updated FAT32, NTFS, HFS and APFS recovery algorithms, powered by Disk Drill's smart scans, find more recoverable files, which allows for an improved (up to a 200%) recovery efficiency.

Disk Drill can successfully recover lost and deleted data from a computer's internal disk as well as external drives, mobile devices, memory cards, digital cameras, and more. Accidentally deleted files can be easily retrieved with the Quick Scan.

In case of a less recent data loss, Disk Drill performs a Deep Scan, a thorough search of the entire drive to reconstruct lost files. In fact, the sequence of algorithms Disk Drill runs in the background is much more complicated than that, and is always adapted to a specific use case and ensures the best recovery results for one's file system, storage device condition, etc.

Deep Scan is one of the most advanced Disk Drill's recovery algorithms. It works even when hard drives lose their formatting and disk space is marked as unallocated. This Disk Drill release concentrates on raw photos and videos, and substantially improves their recovery in many ways.

New image file types now recoverable on Mac:
Disk Drill supports image files types for GoPro GPR, JP2, HEIC, WMF, Panasonic/Leica RAW, Panasonic RWL, Sony SR2 and SRF, Leaf MOS, Mamiya MEF, Epson ERF, Minolta MRW, Olympus ORF, Canon CR3, APM, and more.

As well as many video and audio formats:
* BRAW: professional video recordings
* CinemaDNG: reconstruct deleted digital cinema files
* Canon CRM: Cinema RAW Light HD videos
* Ground-breaking improvements in QuickTime-based video recovery (MOV and similar containers)
* MPC: compressed audio files based on MPEG-2 algorithms
* and others

In addition to improved data recovery, Disk Drill for Mac introduces new and updated free features:
* NEW: Time Machine Recovery: analyze your Time Machine backups and safely extract any data you may need without the need to restore the backups.
* NEW: Data Shredder: securely delete any files and folders for good. This new free module will destroy unwanted files on a storage device beyond any future recovery.
* NEW: Free Disk Space: securely erase free space on any disk. Ensures others can't recover what was deleted by securely wiping disk space marked as free.
* IMPROVED: Clean Up: allows to free some space and quickly get a data map of all existing files and folders to remove space hogs.
* IMPROVED: Find Duplicates: scans the drivers for duplicate content to free up some extra space. Also a convenient way to remove duplicates from network folders and online storage accounts like Dropbox or Google Drive.

Disk Drill 4 is the biggest update in the program's history, the software has received significant improvements and refinements, including the new User Interface and Dark Mode. It's more intuitive and easier to navigate and displays all of the functionality of the application in its main window.

Pricing and availability:
Downloading the trial version of Disk Drill 4 for Mac, the customer can preview the data that can be recovered before purchasing the Pro version for $99 at CleverFiles online. With a purchase of Disk Drill PRO for Mac, the customer also gets a license letting them use Disk Drill for Windows.
