News and special offers from our sponsors:
>> Rorohiko (“Slash the time it takes!”) keeps improving their so-useful
Soxy utility—the latest beta now supports InDesign CS5. With Soxy installed, users with multiple versions InDesign installed can go back to simply double-clicking INDD files to open them, because Soxy makes sure they open in the correct version of the program. Soxy also supports file/version matching with multiple versions of Illustrator, Photoshop, and QuarkXPress, among others. Special for InDesignSecrets listeners: Use the coupon code INDESIGNSECRETS126 in the Rorohiko.com store to get 25% off the $19 Soxy utility.
>> CtrlPublishing makes
CtrlCrossTalk, a magical plug-in that lets InCopy users edit any story in an InDesign layout file, without the designer needing to export the stories to InCopy format first. They have another plugin, CtrlCrossTalkID that lets the InDesign user "lock" the frames that the InCopy user should not be able to edit. Listeners of the podcast get a 15% discount on
CtrlPublishing's web store if you use the coupon code
CTRLOFFER5.
>> PrePress Studio sells
eDocker, a wonderful utility program for any InDesign CS4 or CS5 user who exports files to SWF. eDocker makes the SWFs more user-friendly in the browser because it lets you add page navigation and zoom controls, among other goodies. Try the free 3-day trial or
purchase eDocker at this special URL and enter the coupon code
IDS1 for 10% off.
