Compatible with QuarkXPress, Adapt Planning is available on both PC & Macintosh platforms. Press configurations for colour pages can be created easily, customised against a master template, Adapt Planning allows for differing colour pages on varying pagination sizes, per print centre, saving a huge amount of time should the need arise to move up / down in size of change print centre at the last minute. The View Document Plan pagination tool is available to use outside the DTP environment, this easier way to navigate through pages gives a detailed global view of the publication as it comes together. Reports on adverts, page, publication yield and revenue are available, with the option to highlight and report on advert revenue details particularly discounts that fall outside pre defined rules. Adapt Planning integrates with editorial department, offering various workflow options, at its simplest level the 'split page' option to path the selected page to a pre-defined location including all advert information. Once the page is completed by the editorial department it can be 'collected' back by the planner, the PDF created and then output for printing. Integration to other 3rd party advertising, production and editorial systems could not be simpler, advertising information from the front end can be customised to suit, advert and filler graphics (PDF/EPS/JPEG) can automatically be imported onto the plan.
