D7versions

Versions in Adobe InDesign. Clear, repeatable, exportable.

D7versions organizes layer versions and print versions in one workflow — from the layer state to the PDF, including across several documents.

D7versions panel in InDesign, dark surface: colored version buttons, one version active.

When the versions grow, the manual work grows with them.

Versions are switched by hand. The wrong layer is then easy to leave visible.
Each output path needs different PDF settings. They are set again every time.
Corrections cannot be repeated reliably, because the right layer state is not stored anywhere.

One system for versions, instead of separate manual steps.

Layer versions are stored once and restored in one click.
Print versions keep the export rules on the document.
Several outputs run in one export. Several documents run through the print pool.

Configuration and team

Share a configuration instead of rebuilding it.

JSON export and import, default configuration

Four steps from the version to the file.

Export — in the document or through the print pool

The workflow stays the same, even when there are more versions.

D7versions + D7server

Export while you keep working.

We're planning for D7versions to hand PDF exports to D7server. D7server will drive your InDesign Server and work through the jobs in the background, large batch exports included. Your layer and print versions stay exactly as they are, and you'll see the status right inside D7versions. It requires InDesign Server, licensed by you from Adobe.

D7server: in development
