SoftCare makes light work of InDesign files with K4 update

SoftCare has added a new 'Layout-in-Layout' function to its K4 publishing software to place InDesign documents from K4 into other InDesign documents.

Version 5.9 of SoftCare K4 lets designers produce pages in Adobe InDesign and continue to edit them with K4 after the layouts have been merged.

Multiple users, who can simultaneously edit content in the same layout, receive automatic notification when layout, article or pictures have changed.

SoftCare product manager Christian H Hollstein said: "Layout-in-Layout from K4 5.9 synchronises self-contained, and hence mutually independent, production processes before the copy deadline."

He added: "Several items, such as pictures, Word files or Excel spreadsheets, can now be checked in and out at the same time using K4 File Manager".
