Toronto (ON), Canada - August 8, 2012 -- Zevrix Solutions today announces that LinkOptimizer for Adobe InDesign CS6 is now available on Adobe Exchange, a new Creative Suite extension marketplace. It is available as a panel within a variety of CS6 applications. The Adobe Exchange panel provides a new way to search, discover, and install plug-ins, extensions, and other content for Creative Suite products. LinkOptimizer automates complex image manipulation tasks allowing to significantly reduce the size of InDesign links, save processing time and reduce production costs.

"We are delighted to have products like LinkOptimizer from Zevrix Solutions available on Adobe Exchange", says Jonathan Ferman, Adobe Exchange Product Manager. "This provides users with an easy way to install products and see updates as and when they become available."

InDesign CS6 users can download the Adobe Exchange panel from adobeexchange.com. After the installation, the panel will be available in the Window > Extensions menu.

LinkOptimizer is a powerful automation solution, whether users target print, web or mobile devices. The software works automatically with Adobe Photoshop to eliminate the excess image data of InDesign links, perform essential image adjustments and convert image formats. For example, with just a click of a button users can:

-scale and crop images to match their dimensions in InDesign,
-change their resolution to 300 ppi,
-convert all RGB images to CMYK,
-resave all JPEG images as TIFF,

At the end of processing, LinkOptimizer reimports images to InDesign at 100% in their precise position. In addition, the software can apply sharpening filters, merge layers and delete hidden ones, and process copies of InDesign documents and images instead of original files. As a result, users can save gigabytes of disk space and countless hours of optimizing images manually; accelerate document output; reduce job turnaround and cut costs through faster processing.

Sarasota, FL, USA - (August 8, 2012) -- World renowned best-selling British astronomer and science author David J. Darling, Ph.D., has signed with First Edition Design Publishing. Darling was previously published by Hyperion, Delacorte, Harper Collins, Random House and Wiley.

He is also the author of the bestseller--The Universal Book of Mathematics: From Abracadabra to Zeno's Paradoxes.

Careers Without Borders - Experts Connection Explains How to Launch an International Job Search

Global Career Management Expert Patti Wilson Predicts the Professional Career Pool Will Be Global, and Shows You How to Dive In.

NOVATO, Calif. (August 8, 2012) -- Career opportunities and job growth are global, and even domestic companies are looking to expand overseas. Smart executives are expanding their job search, looking for opportunities across the border where they can prove themselves by building new markets. In the next session of Experts Connection (http://www.experts-connection.com), global career expert and CEO of The Career Company Patti Wilson will discuss, “Going Global: How to Launch A Cross Border Job Search.” The webinar is scheduled for Wednesday, August 22, from 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. ET, (1:00 - 2:30 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by NETSHARE® (http://www.netshare.com).

The days of the corporate ex-patriot assignment are gone as more companies look to expand their reach into emerging markets. They tend to hire talent to work on location, rather than importing executives from the home office, and as a result, recruiters are working globally and professionals are choosing to pursue advanced education and career paths internationally. “I believe that there is a sea change in how and where we will be employed in this decade,” explains Wilson. “The scale is global in terms of visibility, opportunities and markets. There are no local jobs, careers or marketplaces anymore.”

In this Experts Connection webinar, Patti will explain the ins and outs of conducting a cross border job search. Included in the presentation will be a discussion of how to determine the best location for your career, creating a cross-border online presence, how to prepare for relocation, and building a network of contacts and researching opportunities using country, regional and global channels. Specific discussion points will include:

- Determining your search goals based on your personal career criteria.
- Creating a game plan to find the opportunities that best fit your experience.
- Identifying potential countries, regions, industries, and sectors to pursue.
- Finding information and conducting complete in-depth industry and company research across borders.
- Building a substantial network localized in countries and regions on your target list.
- How to set up banking, immigration and business requirements in advance.
- Preparing for the financial, social, housing, educational and multi-cultural challenges.
- Negotiating beyond salary in terms of taxation and other kinds of compensation, benefits, and perks, and what to look for.
- Handling the interview process and determining the cultural fit of both the company and the country.
- Taking the long view and planning an ongoing international career.

“Today’s business is clearly global, and so are career possibilities, so executive job seekers need to understand how to compete on an international level,” said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection webinars. “Patti has worked with hundreds of executives developing successful international relocation strategies. This is a must-attend event for any professional thinking about taking their career beyond the borders.”

The Experts Connection teleseminar series gives executives access to leading career experts. The cost of the seminar is $60, $50 for NETSHARE members, and access is provided via web and telephone. For more information, visit the Experts Connection online at http://www.experts-connection.com.
