AdForce is a cost-effective, easy-to-use advertising layout and issue management system for small- to mid-size publications. Users quickly build ad pages using drag-and-drop or semi-automated flow tools. Finished sections can be opened in QuarkXPress or Adobe InDesign for pagination.


Flexible and functional
AdForce easily connects with most ad-input systems to translate ad sales into ad geometry. Its flexible runsheet shows useful ad information imported from your front-end system. 

With AdForce, you can create pages exactly the way you want them to appear. The system's features include definable issue gravity, ad-to-editorial ratio, advanced color support and conflict monitoring, including coupons, reverses and ad-vs.-page color.
