How fast is InDesign Server?
InDesign Server is designed to be a very fast server engine that, for example, can create many thousands of PDFs in an hour. However, when asking this question, customers and developers should understand the difference between InDesign Server and a solution powered by InDesign Server. A solution powered by InDesign Server contains other technology and factors that have an impact on speed and scalability. The InDesign Server SDK now contains a Performance and Scalability Toolkit, which allows developers to measure the speed of InDesign Server alone as well as a way to measure the speed of InDesign Server as part of a broader publishing solution. This toolkit includes a console to monitor and report the results of these tests, as well as prebuilt scripts that enable you to run tests out of the box. The Performance and Scalability Toolkit also contains guidance on how to optimize the performance of InDesign Server.
