JobLauncher builds on GLUON's long tradition of automating all portions of publishing. AdWrangler was introduced in 1998 to automate mechanical creation for ad agencies, creating layouts complete with slugs, crops and guides. Now we've brought some of that industrial strength to the affordable desktop realm with JobLauncher but we've added even more! In one simple click you can automatically:

Launch
Create a new job in the Job Spec and a Jobster XML file is created. This XML can be used by existing databases or can natively connect to the CaptureWorks db for ultimate tracking power.

Organize
Create a new folder in the logical place on your server or local drive and copy specified assets into that folder. This integrates perfectly with CaptureWorks' new Document Shepherding™ technology where documents can always be "herded" to the proper location.

Create
Make a new Quark or Adobe document complete with crops and filled-in page slug with type and graphics on the pasteboard.

Save
Save the document in the new folder just created, ready to go for production!

FEATURES

• Enter job information and create layouts remotely. Now even a clerical operator can create a professional mechanical!
• Job information goes to optional CaptureWorks Manager where it can be tied into SQL, Oracle, FileMaker, etc. or use native XML with your own db.
• Create QuarkXPress, InDesign or Illustrator layouts (Jobster XT or plug-in required)
• Slugs and crops are pre-filled and assets are auto imported and other actions can be inacted on Launch too.
• You get 100% consistent layouts, metadata and organization on your server with properly named folders.
