 "If you deal with a high volume of PDF files, PitStop Pro 11 should be an essential part of your software toolkit. The time it saves, and the problems it avoids, can quickly repay its cost. If you’re using a previous version, the “Smart Preflight” features can justify the upgrade cost by making it easier to create PDF preflight workflows for multiple output scenarios. And the new ability to combine lines of text into paragraphs, and to Find/Replace text are indispensable."
—Jay Nelson, Design Tools Monthly

What's your biggest headache? If you use InDesign for production, you already know the pain point: an author sends you a story via email or file-sharing, and you've placed it in your InDesign publication, fixing typos, changing formatting, adding and deleting text, etc. Then, the author or your editor sends you another version of the file, and expects you to figure out what changed, and weave those changes into what you hoped was the final story.
WordsFlow is a file-based editorial break-through product, enabling authors and editors to continue working on story files while you work on the same story in InDesign. WordsFlow does this by "merge-updating" from changed Word files, rather than letting InDesign just re-import over all your work. This spares you the pain, frustration and inevitable mistakes involved in hand-merging changes. What's more, it works entirely invisibly, with no user interface beyond the standard file linking machinery you're already using for graphics.
Save up to $600 with this special offer! Purchase this bundle to receive a full new license of PitStop Pro plus an upgrade for an existing license of PitStop Pro 7.x, 08, 09 or 10! PitStop Pro has everything you need for fast and reliable preflighting and editing of PDF documents.

NEW! DocsFlow 1.6 for InDesign now shipping!
DocsFlow marries the collaborative editing power of Google Docs to the layout power of InDesign. DocsFlow lets you place online Google Docs documents as InDesign story contents, just like normal text files. And, much more importantly, DocsFlow maintains a dynamic link so it can intelligently merge Google Docs document changes into the InDesign story contents on each link update, rather than just replacing the story. So you can format, layout, and make minor edits in InDesign, while you and others edit story content together in real time on Google Docs, without losing any work.

For us marketers, we look to our printers with a focus on communication, not on producing print. We need the lift that print provides — and that is the premise of multi-touch marketing. An approach where it's not about choosing print over electronic, it's about supporting your message with appropriate vehicles. When offline communication (print) is combined with online communication (email and web) both sides benefit — and, of course, the customer too.
