There is a new version of the free Lightning Brain Text Exporter; it adds better support for InDesign CS3, and support for text gathering for right-to-left languages. It also adds some optional new features whose availability is linked to the purchase of a license for APID ToolAssistant: for example, suppressing text on invisible layers. Click hereto read more.

We’ve also simplified our product structure and merged the two plug-ins formerly known as Active Page Item Runtime and Active Page Item Developer Kernel. The combined plug-in is now known as the APID ToolAssistant, a free download. Click here to read more. If you need to upgrade your Active Page Item Runtime, you’ll need to replace it with APID ToolAssistant.

Last, but not least, we have a new InDesign freebie available – it’s called Lightning Brain StylePainter. It allows you to easily assign a lot of styles in one go via the power of grep expressions. Works for InDesign CS/CS2/CS3.
