Lightning Brain FrameReporter 1.0.1 released
We’ve just released Lightning Brain FrameReporter 1.0.1 for Adobe InDesign CS, CS2, CS3 or CS4.
Have you ever worked with a long text story that spanned multiple text frames? Did you have fun with overset text?
How about taking a superfluous word away from frame 7, then zooming to the last frame – frame 223 – to check whether the overset is resolved. Nah, still overset. Ok, let’s reword this sentence in frame 123 – better? Back to frame 223 to check. And so on…
Wouldn’t it be easier if you could continually see whether the current story is or isn’t overset? Glad you asked – that’s just one of the things LB FrameReporter does.

LB FrameReporter adds a little, non-printing ‘info-label’ to the currenly selected frame, and this info-label can contain all kinds of info – overset warnings, story roadmap, master page info,…
It does not 'do' anything apparent, but you need it installed for most of our tools to function.
Output selected color pictures as pure black (K) without having to modify the original JPEG or TIFF.
Track time of last document modification, and keep a log of who has worked on a document.
Shows information about page items without having to hunt for the 'Info' palette; helps navigation in complex documents.
Automatically resize/refit frame content when resizing an image frame.
Floating palette filled with images from designated folders. Much faster than Adobe Bridge, uses standard InDesign library palette.
Efficient method to move page items between layers via context menu with layers.
Automatically expand your selection to encompass items that are similar to a single selected 'sample' page item. Much faster than shift-click-click-click...
Attach objects to guides and use the guides to concurrently pull or stretch all attached objects. Great for structured layouts like forms, photo-grids...
Auto-scale pixel images as they are placed so that all effective resolutions conform to a preset value.
Helps you handle overly cluttered layouts with ease. Temporarily move obscuring elements out of the way and later put them back exactly where they came from.
Generate brand new, copyright-free Sudoku puzzles straight into placeholder frames. Great for newsletters, puzzle books,... - do the layout once, and 'inject' fresh new puzzles
as many times as you want.
Export all text from an InDesign document into a single combined RTF or text file.
Automatically thread unattached text frames into a single, logical thread. Cut a long, multi-frame story into separated text frames without visually affecting the layout.
Transparently manage multiple installed versions of applications. Automatically open documents in the most appropriate version (e.g. InDesign CS3 documents open in InDesign CS3
even if CS4 is installed).
Move text out and back into InDesign documents, to allow translation or editing of text without need for additional licenses of InDesign or InCopy.
