ProductionManagerPro from Harris & Baseview, along with the associated pagination tools that work with the program, are now available for QuarkXPress 6 and for Mac OS X.
ProductionManagerPro takes care of the laborious tasks associated with magazine production. The software can pass an order automatically from the front-end billing system to the program. Users of ProductionManagerPro can query a database to find out which ads are most urgent, which employee is building each ad, and so on. The software also organizes all of the ads and their related elements in one folder.
Baseview’s associated QuarkXPress XTensions are now also available for Mac OS X, including AdGrabber, PageWatch IQue and DragX. AdGrabber helps magazine designers determine which ads are completed, and provides information on those ads yet to be completed.
ProductionManagerPro is also compatible with Multi-Ad Creator and with Adobe InDesign.
More information on ProductionManagerPro Pro, as well as the associated XTensions is available on the company’s Web site.
