Changes in 3.3.4 - 17 November 2016

  • InDesign CC 2017 Support
  • Updated Installer (now only supports CS6 and upwards)
  • Fixed InCopy issue

Changes in 3.3.3 - 9 February 2015

  • Fixed issue where bullets where not translated correctly

Changes in 3.3.2 - 2 December 2014

  • Attempted fix for permission issues in Mac installer
  • Fixed issue that caused an error dialog when 'force text to black' was selected

Changes in 3.3.1 - 13 April 2014

  • Official support for older (pre-CS5) versions terminated. It will probably work fine, but we're not putting any further effort into supporting versions older than CS5.
  • Force text to black now also acts on text in anchored frames
  • Allow page ranges to be specified either with index (1-n) or page names..

Changes in 3.3.0 - 6 June 2013

  • Version 3.2.0 was broken in InDesign CS and InDesign CS2. Version 3.30 should work with these older versions.

Changes in 3.2.0 - 14 December 2012

  • Support for nested styles. In previous version, character styling that is the result of a nested style gets lost on export. In 3.2 you can avoid this by selecting the TextExporter 'Emulate Bullets & Nested Styles' option. TextExporter will find and 'imprint' the nested character styles prior to export, so the resulting RTF will have the nested styles.

Changes in 3.1.0 - 12 May 2011

  • CS5.5 support
  • Support for anchored frames
  • Support for footnotes frames

Changes in 3.0.1 - 28 December 2010

  • Fixed issue where 'Export' (without dialog) caused an error dialog to appear in InDesign CS5.

Changes in 3.0.0 - 05 June 2010

  • Support for InDesign CS5
  • TextExporter is not a freebie any more - from version 3.0 onwards, you need to purchase a per-install license for continued use. If you are currently using version 2.1.3 with InDesign CS4 or earlier, there is no pressing need for you to upgrade. The most important change between 2.x and 3.x is CS5 support. More info about licensing can be found by clicking here.

Changes in 2.1.3 - 31 December 2009

  • Can now optionally convert bullets and numbering before export, so bullets and numbering become part of the exported text.

Changes in 2.1.2 - 27 November 2009

  • Improved frame-by-frame collection: TextExporter has a new algorithm to try and 'guess' the logical reading order of frames on the spread.
  • Fixed issue with 'Convert Text To Black' on some documents

Changes in 2.1.1 - 07 November 2009

  • TextExporter 2.1.0 did not allow story-by-story export in InDesign CS and CS2 - fixed now.
  • Frame-by-frame export now also exports contents of anchored frames
  • CS3 export sequence does not export in reverse order any more.

Changes in 2.1.0 - 04 November 2009

  • TextExporter 2.0.9 did not work with InDesign CS and CS2 - fixed now.
  • Fixed unreasonably slow 'text to black' feature.
  • Fixed issue where TextExporter occasionally inserted separating newlines into the exported text in the wrong spot.

Changes in 2.0.9 - 31 October 2009

  • Fixed extreme slowdown in version 2.0.8 - what should take seconds was taking many minutes or even longer.

Changes in 2.0.8 - 9 October 2009

  • Improved RTF export quality for CS3 and CS4. Normally, TextExporter goes through two export phases: first it exports individual stories to a temporary file, then appends that temporary file to a big text frame in a temporary InDesign document, and finally exports the big text frame - so in all, the same text is exported twice, and each time it is exported, there is some 'decay'. In CS3 and above, TextExporter now uses a different method without the use of temporary files, and there is only a single export phase, which improves the quality of the exported RTF document.
  • Can convert all text to black during export (so white text becomes visible in the RTF file)
  • Can export frame-by-frame instead of story-by-story

Changes in 2.0.7 - 05 December 2008

  • CS4 support
  • InCopy Support
  • Workaround for a CS4 ExtendScript bug that caused InDesign crashes on startup

  • Internal releases - not officially released

Changes in 2.0.1 - 17 May 2008

  • Fixed automation samples (AppleScript/VBScript/ExtendScript)

Changes in 2.0.0 - 15 May 2008

  • Now uses APID ToolAssistant instead of Active Page Items Runtime
  • Support for right-to-left reading order (e.g. for Hebrew or Arabic)
  • Additional features are available with licensed copy of APID ToolAssistant:
  • Allows suppression of invisible stories
  • Can define Default settings
  • Dialog-less Export function
  • Can be automated from AppleScript/VBScript/ExtendScript
