Cool Kerning

Cool Kerning lets you do automatic updates of kerning values. You will be able to build kerning tables to control kerning between special character pairs.

The packages can be automatically distributed inside the InDesign documents so that . updates are also automatically parsed in your organization. This gives you much greater quality assurance than you are accustomed to in other layout programs. With the Cool Kerning plug-in, you can use fewer designers and still take less time to get to the correct graphical results. It's all handled automatically!

Cool Tracking

This technology allows you to lower your production costs dramatically. And you get quality assurance on a new level that no other layout program can match. It's all handled automatically!

Color Markup

Create call-out text boxes that point to color usage. The call-out boxes also point to color usage inside images. The plug-in is often used to document color usage for printers, but it also allows you to check if you mistakenly used spot colors instead of CMYK. The text in the call-out boxes can have individual colors depending on the color type (CMYK, spot, etc.).

HPGL Import

Many users converting from PageMaker miss the ability to place HPGL images in InDesign. This plug-in lets you place HPGL files, which are automatically converted to Adobe Illustrator® files. If you make a package for a printer, the Illustrator document will be included. This allows three parties to output the document even without HPGL Import. Every time the plug-in detects a modification of the HPGL file, it will automatically regenerate the Illustrator file, so this "spinoff" version of the HPGL file is always up to date.

Label It allows you to automatically create text boxes on top of all images. With this dynamic solution you can move, delete, or replace images, and the labels will automatically update. You control the position of the labels (center, upper corner, etc.), and you can even set up an offset to the image box. If you place images at the edge of a page (for overprint purposes), you can set up a margin. This will guarantee that all image names are readable on the printout.

Scale Alert — a free plug-in

If you are interested in high-quality image output from InDesign, you might want to limit how much you scale images — both up and down. Using Scale Alert, you will see a warning every time you print the document with images scaled outside your requests. You can define scaling based on resulting DPI or percentage. This plug-in is free after registration.

Stamp It

Put extra information in the slug area. You can collect font usage, image usage, and even a complete log of every user that has modified the document, and this plug-in will update the information automatically. You can also add version and print counters to the document, making it easy to find the latest print if you have to choose between multiple prints that have been "shuffled." Stamp It also allows you to save JPEG images of all pages in the document, instead of only the first page.

TuneIT — a free plug-in
