axaio software

axaio MadeForLayers is a plug-in for InDesign and Illustrator that helps streamlining and simplifying the creation and editing of complex documents; it saves design time and reduces human errors while working with layer-heavy documents. Different layers can be combined into layer views, showing different language or regional variants of a document with a single mouse-click. In packaging environments you can clearly differ between multiple technical versions with one hand grab.

  • Group layers into logical layer views to streamline
    • Working with documents containing multiple language versions (localization workflows)
    • Working with documents containing regional variants of ads or editorial content (regional publications)
    • Working with complex packaging documents containing design and technical layers
  • User-friendly and intuitive layer palette for efficient layer handling, with three specialized palette states:
    • Minimal view, to quickly switch between layer views
    • Normal view, to additionally create, edit or delete layers
    • Extended view, to additionally create, edit or delete layer views and add or edit metadata to layers
  • Save layer view combinations to disk and import them into existing documents to quickly apply layer views to similar documents
  • Add metadata to layers to enable workflow automation based on standardized metadata rather than layer names
  • Set a specific layer view as the default document view to determine which layers will be visible initially when the document is opened
  • Create a new layer view from the currently visible layers; add or remove layers from layer views to adjust

Quicker document editing with layer views

Simply define logical layer views for your document once and then switch between layer views while editing with one mouse-click.

Standardized document creation processing

Save layer views – containing layer names and metadata definitions – and apply them to new or existing documents to standardize how documents are structured and to enable automation in production.

Error-free, consistent output

In combination with axaio MadeToPrint, output all different versions of a publication in one go, with standardized settings and without risk of mixing up or forgetting content in complex documents.

Focus

Focus on particular parts of your job.

Open for everyone

Even though the single-click layer view switching will not be available on workstations without MadeForLayers, MadeForLayers uses only standard InDesign functionality. Files created or edited with MadeForLayers are perfectly usable on other workstations.
