The Next Generation of Ad Building
You don’t become the market leader by standing still. AdLizard’s committed development team has been hard at work, with more than thirty improvements since Nexpo 2006. AdLizard has been redefined with new server technology and true automation tools. Here’s just a few:

InDesign Server
AdLizard now ships with Adobe InDesign Server, the new standard in publishing automation. InDesign Server brings the performance and stability of a true server solution. AdLizard’s new generation has been born, paving the way for our fully DOT NET native release.

Module Automation
AdLizard has long been capable of placing internal documents onto base templates to create modular advertising. This process can now be totally automated from within the interface or by AdLizard SDK programmers. Modules can be arbitrarily selected and placed precisely on a template by even the lowest skilled internet users and even rearranged to taste using AdLizard’s “Smart Snap” technology.

Image Automation
Quality that just happens. Imagine a workflow in which a photo is uploaded by an unskilled, external advertiser, using an internet browser. Automatically, the photo is color corrected, density optimized, checked for resolution and color space, and finally presented to the user for use in their newspaper ad. All in a matter of seconds, without any human intervention. AdLizard now
includes, as standard, an automation interface to Color factory from Fotoware This industry standard image toolkit can be integrated seamlessly within the AdLizard environment, to provide flight-checking and automated retouching of every uploaded image. Set up as many channels as you need. A totally closed, image consistency and quality control system.

InDesign Feathering and Drop Shadows
Add drop shadows and feathering to text and objects in your templates and ads. You can even apply these effects to raw text automatically.

Spell Checking
Our brand new spell checking feature allows your customers to speed their proof reading and cut down on mistakes.

Content Auto-sizing
Not sure how much text will go into an ad? Not sure how big that picture box needs to be? Let AdLizard .NET resize your objects to suit, automatically adjusting them to accommodate the content when it arrives.

Speed, Speed, Speed
Dot NET native database connections, handled connection pooling, processor optimization, InDesign Server’s headless processing, it’s all there. With these things combined, our tests show a speed improvement of up to 40%! We’ve also improved load balancing for busy sites with many composition engines. There’s no site too big and no workload AdLizard can’t handle.

Is that all? No way. We’ve been working hard to bring a whole range of improvements to AdLizard., and we’ve optimized our code for the Dot NET framework, including better parameter and error handling. We’ve reworked and commented our skins, repackaged our documentation and tweaked a ton of features. Existing customers will appreciate our new Hierarchic Transaction folders, longer source image names, faster document copying and our complete rework of automated purging and archiving. We’re up to speed and up to date, are you?
