Toronto (ON), Canada – Zevrix Solutions announces the release of BatchOutput PDF 2.2.30, a compatibility update to the company’s PDF printing automation solution for Mac. The software allows users to print PDF files from watched hot folders, saving the time and effort of opening and printing each document manually.

The new version introduces support for the recently released macOS 10.14 Mojave and is offered as a free update to licensed users. While BatchOutput PDF is fully compatible with the new Dark Mode, the app currently preserves its original appearance. A dark appearance will be introduced in the future.

“This is one of those apps that you never knew you needed until you spend a day using it,” says Glen Saville of eponymous design firm in Hornchurch, UK. “If you handle a large number of PDFs daily this will save you time, without a doubt.”

With BatchOutput PDF users only need to drop their PDF files into watched hot folders – and the software will print the documents automatically using the hot folder settings. For example, users can create hot folders for color and black-and-white printers, specific paper sizes, duplex modes, various color profiles and other controls.

BatchOutput PDF helps users eliminate countless repetitive tasks of opening PDF files and adjusting print settings manually by bypassing the print dialog. The app offers the following key features:

* Print PDFs automatically from watched hot folders
* Create hot folders for different print settings
* Detailed output history
* Specify password for encrypted PDFs
* Save time and hassle of printing each PDF manually

In addition to the single-user version of the program, Zevrix also offers BatchOutput PDF Server that can serve unlimited users on a network.

Pricing and Availability:
BatchOutput PDF can be purchased from Zevrix website for $24.95 USD (Server version $99.95), as well as from Mac App Store and authorized resellers. The update is free for licensed users of version 2. Trial is also available for download. BatchOutput PDF supports macOS 10.7-10.14.

Not only have we added new tools and improvements. Mocha also now provides annual updates and point releases to customers on the Boris FX support plan.”

“I’ve used Mocha time and time again to see if seemly impossible tasks are possible…the new 2019 release improves on the core functionality and speed which translates into VFX artists getting home earlier!” remarks Jake Morrison, VFX Supervisor, Thor: Ragnarok and Ant-Man.

Medina, Saudi Arabia – The only thing better than boosting one’s brainpower, is achieving this invaluable goal while having an immense amount of fun. That’s the winning formula for one of the most remarkable and unique creations in the app universe: Mindboo.

Available for both iOS and Android at no cost, Mindboo 1.2.0 takes users on a quest from the foundation laboratory to the Mars laboratory. While this may sound like a simple task, it is anything but – because to reach their destination users must solve various challenges that put their skills to the test, including concentration, memory processing, math, focus, analytical thinking, spatial reasoning, logic, deduction, inferences, and more.

Each lab along the way poses new and interesting tests. Overall, there are three types of challenges: those that users can try to solve on their own such as puzzles, those that involve physical movements like walking, challenges jumping, running and so on, and those that involve competing in real-time against friends or other users around the world. For head-to-head play, users can team up with friends, chat with other players, and increase or decrease their “brain power” (i.e. their score) based on results.

Other Mindboo special features include:
* Outstanding graphics and sound
* Compete in online events
* Leaderboard integration
* Detailed performance tracking

“Boosting our brainpower is one of the fastest and best ways we can improve our quality of life, whether one is a student trying to earn a scholarship or win a prize, or a professional who wants to increase their earning capacity and career success,” commented Mindboo CEO Mostafa Shawali. “Mindboo is designed to stimulate both right-brain and left-brain problem solving capacity and cognitive ability. Basically the only thing that users can count on as they move through Mindboo is that nothing is quite what it seems!”

Krakow, Poland – PressPad Sp. z o.o., a digital publishing technology company that works with magazine publishers in App Store since 2011, is launching an upgrade to their news apps platform. With this major upgrade, PressPad will be able to support innovative business models in the news publishing industry with a better paywall implementation to their iOS News apps platform called PressPad News.

The publishing industry is one of the most dynamically increasing and changing fields today. Along with technological development came modern readership models, digital publication trends and needs of brand new, innovative business strategies. At some point, the wide-spread usage of mobile devices and new readers’ expectations forced changes on content publishers. As a result, a growing number of magazines and newspapers are distributing and selling online.

PressPad understands that mobile technology impacts on the publishing industry and, as a result, changing reading habits have made news publishers look for new business models necessary to keep up with the digital revolution and competitors. At stake are more demanding and tech-savvy readers.

PressPad News features:
PressPad News is the news distribution apps platform. The branded news apps take content from the WordPress based website or via the RSS feed. Upon new content arrival, the notification is pushed to the mobile device to let the user know about it happens. The content appears in the app in a legible, mobile-first way. The most important features of the platform are as follows:

* A flexible paywall
* Mobile Ads support
* Custom content analytics
* Google Analytics integration
* Auto-notifications
* Graphical push notifications

Users get a fan-app that keeps updating them about news content and let them read even in the flight mode. Here are the most interesting features to the readers:

* Offline reading
* Keeping up with the latest articles and news
* Saving the most interesting content for the further reading
* Adjusting fonts and contrast
* Text-to-Speech ready
A flexible approach to paywalls in the news app

“We wanted to deliver these paywall features that are the most desired by modern publishers,” confirmed Michael Opydo, CEO of PressPad. “The paywall which supports the most promising use cases. All in the one product. The publisher chooses the option which is in line with their business model or can even juggle amongst them to test which one fits best.”

PressPad has created a flexible solution that has a potential to improve the revenue stream of the news publisher as well as the number of loyal readers and subscribers. It also guarantees that the lives of news publishers will be full of innovation and revelation.

PressPad has concentrated on how publishers can manage this strategy in a more effective way. This approach allowed to offer a differentiated paywall solution for individual publishers’ needs. As a result, they can constantly use ads as a monetization strategy even though they decide to use a paywall. Another option is an opportunity for the implementation of full access to content without any ads after payment.

A paywall available in the iPhone and iPad apps from PressPad covers the four use cases:

1. Hard paywall – 100% of the content is locked behind the wall in the app.

2. Freemium model paywall – A defined number of articles are available to read for free per month, week or day. After subscribing the full content is available with ads being still visible.

3. Ad-free Freemium model paywall – A defined number of articles are available to read for free per month. Full, ad-free content is available after subscribing.

4. Ad-free model paywall – All the content is available for free but readers see ads – full, ad-free content is available after subscribing.

PressPad connects all these into the one, comprehensive tool for the news publisher – a news distribution channel in the form of a branded iOS mobile app. This mobile technology supports mobile ads, a donation-based model and the freemium model. PressPad apps are available on Apple App Store, Google Play and Amazon Appstore for Kindle Fire.
