About
Cognitive’s AdforceX is the flagship ad-layout solution in their Page Director series, redesigned from the ground up to run natively on modern macOS versions and on current Intel and Apple Silicon (M1–M4) Macs. It is fully integrated with Cognitive’s AdImport, Fido, and Split & Folio plug-ins for Adobe InDesign CC (2022–2025), offering a seamless “plan-to-print” workflow for publications. It is modern and streamlined: contextual menus, page and runsheet filtering, and support for physical and logical sectioning help users manage issue layouts easily. Detailed tools like the Page Inspector and Runsheet Inspector allow granular control over pages, ad placements, and ratios, including batch changes, while the Layout view provides a graphic representation of pages and ads for a clear overview. AdforceX automatically links ads to their digital files, supports multiple column models and page sizes in the same issue.

About
DesignCraft is an open-source page-layout and publishing application for designers, publishers, and other users creating multi-page documents. It provides spreads and parent pages, text and graphic frames, threaded stories, columns, paragraph and character styles, color swatches, and text wrapping for arranging editorial and print-oriented layouts. Typography tools include paragraph composition, hyphenation, optical margin alignment, and baseline grids. Users can work with a documented native file format, import and export IDML, and export PNG images. The application is available as a native desktop program for Windows, macOS, and Linux, with a WebAssembly build for browser use. Command-line workflows, a JSON control channel, and an MCP server support scripted or agent-driven document operations. DesignCraft is free and open source under MIT or Apache-2.0 licensing. The product is in development.
