PDF Bee 1.0 released

Chris Paveglio has released , an application for automating the creation of single page PDF files output from InDesign via distilled PostScript files. PDF Bee, designed for production and pre-press industries, watches a 'hot folder' for InDesign files, loads fonts if necessary (via Suitcase X1), prints a Postscript file of each page individually, and then Distills every page. Users can specify the print setting and the Distiller setting. PDF Bee can also watch a single file individually and generates a log file to processor errors, such as missing fonts our outdated images. The source code project (xCode 1.5) is provided with purchase. PDF Bee ($50) requires Adobe InDesign CS, Mac OS X 10.3, and Acrobat Distiller 6.
