News and special offers from our sponsors:
>> Em Software: Check out their InData and InCatalog add-ons for InDesign, by themselves or as a powerful team for data-driven publishing. Use InData to build price lists, catalogs, directories, and much more, all hands-off. InCatalog is a bidirectional linking tool to keep your layouts and spreadsheets in sync, great for last-minute price updates.
>> eDocker: With the eDocker Tablet Publisher® program you can create, from InDesign, an HTML5 Web publication that works in all devices, including iPads, and that you can publish through your own server. There is no need for complicated certificates, developer memberships or distribution channels like the Apple AppStore. Special offer: $100 off the Tablet Publisher for the near future (sorry, we don't have anything more concrete) with code 10IDS2012
>> Rorohiko: Download Kris Coppieters' free script, SizeLabels.zip, for adding labels showing each frame's size in a document. (Be sure to extract the contents of the ZIP, then open the .jsx document in a text editor and read the instructions in the beginning). Check out Rorohiko's other wonderful scripts on their website, and donate if you find them useful!
