SoftCare K4 5.9 Released with “Layout-in-Layout” Functionality

SoftCare announced the new version of K4 includes its new “Layout-in-Layout” functionality. Designers are now able to place InDesign documents from K4 in other InDesign documents as often as they like. This will benefit newspapers in particular, as they can use this new feature to produce regional and complete editions at the same time. This function is also especially useful for the production and placement of advertisements: Once the ad layout is complete, they can be placed in several positions in the paper using K4. SoftCare fully supports this Adobe CS3 function. Release 5.9 is available worldwide via SoftCare system integrators. K4 5.9 also comes with a new InDesign plug-in: SoftCare Content Activator. This new feature reactivates the contents of locked frames for further processing, for example, by freelancers or external printing service providers. SoftCare Content Activator is also available as a free download. 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. In addition to the issue-based mode, K4 Admin now enables users to export items, such as layouts, articles or pictures based on a query. http://www.softcare.de
