InDesign ExtendScript Toolkit and Soxy

kris — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 09:40:45 +0000

If you design and create ExtendScripts targeting Adobe InDesign for other people, like we often do, you probably also need Soxy. Our customers use a diverse range of InDesign versions (CS, CS2, CS3, CS4), so we need to make sure the custom scripts we develop are tested against the same version of InDesign as the customer’s. So, [...]

Soxy 1.0.4 for Macintosh adds support for EPS files. Thanks to Soxy, one can double-click an EPS file icon in the Finder – and any Photoshop EPS file will open in Photoshop; any Illustrator EPS files will open in Illustrator.

TextExporter is a plug-in for InDesign CS, CS2, CS3 or CS4. It allows you to export all the text from an InDesign document concatenated into a single RTF file, while following a natural reading order. Text files and InDesign Tagged Text are also supported.

FrameReporter 1.0.7 Available

kris — Fri, 04 Dec 2009 18:08:57 +0000

FrameReporter uses little non-printing labels to display interesting info about selected page items, right in your work area. Normally InDesign makes you click around and find various palettes to dig up the info – which disrupts your train of thought. With FrameReporter, the relevant info is displayed exactly in the area where you are working, and you [...]

TextExporter, StylePainter updated

kris — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 02:23:35 +0000

This week, we’ve updated TextExporter once more – the new frame-by-frame export feature in the previous versions was not as intelligent as it should be and we think we’ve now found a better approach to export the frames in a logical ‘reading order’ – try our new TextExporter 2.1.2. We also fixed a problem with [...]

Soxy for Macintosh 1.0.2 is Available

joris — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 04:40:01 +0000

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. [...]
