Ad Layout shouldn’t be a bottleneck.
If your ad layout process still relies on software that hasn’t kept pace with macOS, InDesign CC, or the way your team works today — every deadline costs you more than it should. AdforceX was built from the ground up to eliminate that friction: import your ad list, place your ads, open in InDesign or export to a CMS. Done.

Meet AdforceX.
AdforceX is the ad layout tool that print publishers switch to — and stay with. It’s Mac-native, InDesign-integrated, and focused squarely on the layout planning step of your workflows — slotted between ad booking and editorial pagination — without requiring you to replace your entire workflow stack. It handles display ads and classified flows in a single, intuitive interface, connects to any front-end booking system via a standard import, and opens finished layouts directly in Adobe InDesign — or exports the issue plans to a CMS. AdforceX runs natively on every current Mac and takes full advantage of macOS Tahoe. No workarounds, no compatibility headaches, no legacy baggage. And if you’re coming from AdForce or ALS, you’ll be up and running in a couple of days.
Works with what you have
AdforceX imports ad data from any front-end system — no proprietary lock-in, no ripping and replacing your existing workflow. Tab-delimited import means it connects to virtually any booking system on day one.
Display and classifieds, one tool
Stop switching between systems. AdforceX handles both display ad placement and classified flows natively — with SmartFlow automation that places ads as precisely or as flexibly as your deadlines demand.
InDesign-ready in seconds
When your layout is done, AdforceX opens it directly in Adobe InDesign — with ad links, folios, and placement data already inherited. Your page designers pick up exactly where you left off.
