- Some other minor bug fixes.
There’s a common problem when there are multiple versions of applications like Adobe® InDesign®, QuarkXPress®, Adobe Illustrator®… installed on the same computer.
Double-clicking a file’s icon will often cause the wrong application version to launch. As a result, you might unwittingly re-save a document into a more recent file format, which could be a bad thing. Maybe it’s a customer file, and the customer might not be able to open the updated file when you e-mail it back to her.
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.
