Blacklining software/plug ins for InDesign Mac

Annoyingly some of my clients want to have changes displayed on the proof. I have been doing this manually which is rather slow using character styles with strikethrough and colour.
InCopy (which I dont own) does have a change tracking feature but only in galley view and that is pretty useless for me mostly because in galley view tables dont display and since I do a lot of annual reports I have a lot of tables. I have to admit that Words change tracking is much, much better.
I have found some blacklining software which costs around GBP700 which is really high-cost and I have been resisting buying it.
Does anyone know of blacklining software for InDesign on the Mac so I can look into buying it.
Thanks

Thank you all for this wonderful information. I have been experimenting with the various options in Acrobat and it looks like this is the solution.
I doubt very much I can persuade anyone to do markups in Acrobat - thats a bit newfangled for them. Instead I get a faxed pdf of their handwritten markups - it creates an image so there is no text. If they are feeling generous theyll do an Excel table or two so I can insert into the INDD document.
A few minutes ago someone phoned about possible (and lots of) new work which will involve blacklining a lot of proofs - and I can now do it easily. Hope I get this work.
Many thanks for making my day.

    Missing plug-ins for InDesign CS4? Fehlende Zusatzmodule für InDesign CS4?
    Hello! Hallo!
    I am working with CS4 on the Mac OS X, version 10.6.8. I created some InDesign files with it a couple of weeks ago. When I want to open them now again, it shows me a long list of plug-ins that I supposedly have to activate first or I need to buy the newest CS as an alternative.1. How did this problem come off? 2. How can I activate the missing plug-ins?
    Ich arbeite mit CS4 auf einem Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. Habe damit vor einigen Wochen mehrere InDesign Dateien erstellt. Wenn ich sie jetzt wieder öffnen möchte, zeigt er mir eine lange Liste von Zusatzmodulen an, die ich angeblich aktivieren muss bzw als Alternative das aktuellste CS kaufen soll.
    1. Wie ist das Problem zustande gekommen? 2. Wie kann ich die benötigten Zusatzmodule aktivieren?
    Thank you all! Danke schön!

    Actually, Indesign only says like "I can't open, because it was saved from a newer version" and does not list any extensions/plugins.
    If you now make a new document, save it and open again - will it work?
    Those plug-ins are usually enabled/disabled via the Adobe Extension Manager (Menü "Hilfe"->Erweiterungen verwalten).

  • Hi how/where do I upgrade plug-ins for InDesign CS6 6.0.6?

    Hi how/where do I upgrade plug-ins for InDesign CS6 6.0.6?

    6.0.6 is CS4, not CS6 (which is version 8).
    Why do you need to upgrade plugins? Are you getting an error  message trying to pen a file? That meas the file was saved from a newer version of ID, and you'll need either the newer version, or an IDML file exported from the original. You can't upgrade plugins to make this work.

  • How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open

    How do I enable plug-ins for InDesign CS2 - files won't open.
    I own CS2.
    I shouldn't have to buy CS6 InDesign.
    How do I open CS 2 files and get the plug ins again.

    Asking the same question over and over will not change the answer.

  • Plug ins for Safari / Mac??

    We have invested in one of these Macbook Pro thingies and since surfing the net i have noticed that there are a lot of times that i cannot view video on certain web pages. It says i need plugins. Where can i get all of theses plugins required for viewing net video. My Mac skills are limited as we have only just switched. Many thanks in advance. I have installed Firefox and use it quite often so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Stuart!
    The questions are no problem...glad to help!
    Ok 2 things...you are not going to be able to use Windows Media Player...you must use Flip4Mac. Microsoft decided to not develop it anymore and they are even promoting Flip4Mac now (that's why I gave you the link to their site...sorry if it was confusing). And they stopped the development before Macs went Intel...that's why you can't run it. Only pre-Intel Macs can run the actual Windows Media Player. So first download the Flip4Mac and that will do it for you.
    Now about the .sitx this is an extension for Stuffit compressed files. On pc your are used to seeing .zip files often. Mac too has .zip and you don't need anything to unzip it...Mac OS X can unzip automatically. But on Mac .dmg (disk images) are more common. You will notice them if you haven't already as most software is distributed in disk images. Stuffit (.sitx) is kinda outdated but you still might see it sometimes. (Remember Windows Media is kinda outdated too that's why it's still using .sitx.) You can download Stuffit for free for those times you might need it. No rush since you won't be using that Windows Media Player anyways. Here's the link:
    http://www.stuffit.com/mac/index.html
    You won't be able to view that content until you get Flip4Mac installed. Now there are some videos out there that might not play on Safari...but first let's get the right tools installed then go from there.
    And about the Firefox downloads yes that's strange. Firefox should perform comparably to Safari. That difference is huge! I don't believe there's anything special to setup prior on Firefox so I'm not sure at the moment what that might be?

  • Is there a plug-in for Indesign Interactive PDF buttons which simulates the same control as Acrobat?

    I want to know if there is a third party out there making plug-ins for Indesign CS6 specifically for interactive PDF buttons and forms which allows for better control over text boxes.... ie. date formatting, 1-10 characters per text boxes, etc.

    Not that I've heard of. You'll have to tweak those features in Acrobat Pro.

  • OSB 11gR1 plug-ins for Eclipse/OEPE on MAC OS

    Where/How can I get OSB 11gR1 specific Eclipse/OEPE plug-ins for Eclipse under MAC OS X?
    I installed the Eclipse 3.5.2 w/ OEPE plug-ins on MAC OS X, but need additioanl plug-ins to do OSB 11gR1 development in it, but can't seem to find them
    anywhere!
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    THanks
    RB

    additioanl plug-ins to do OSB 11gR1 development in it, but can't seem to find them anywhere!these plug-ins/features are installed in OEPE by the OSB installer during installation.download from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/osb/index.html, extract the osb.zip and runInstaller.sh. Hopefully the install script should work (I doubt if MAC OS X is supported. But could forsee no reason why this script cannot execute in MAC OS X unless there are hard coding in this sript for supported OS ).
    You are trying a un-supported configuration and all the best.
    My two cents.

  • How can I add my software in Adobe's Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro ?

    Hi,
    Our company have a software called Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere.
    Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere is a recommended FLV, MPG, RMVB, HD  video import plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro. This plug-in enables users  to import FLV videos with various codec like AVC/H.264, AAC, Screen  Video, Nellymoser, MP3, PCM, and Sorenson H.263. Besides FLV video, the  plug-in allows AVCHD import and HD video import in MTS, M2TS, TP, TS,  and MKV formats.
    Moyea Importer for Adobe Premiere do not convert your video so it keeps  video quality for you. The plug-in automatically detects the Adobe Premiere versions on your  machine and you can choose the versions to install the plug-in. It  currently supports Adobe Premiere Pro 1.0/1.5/2.0/CS3/CS4 and Elements  3.0/4.0/7.0/8.0.
    I notice in Third-party plug-ins for Adobe Premiere Pro this part, Adobe didn't get any such plug-ins. They only have two file support plug-ins and Moyea Importer can fill the blank.
    Now I want to submit this software on Adobe's site but I don't know where to submit or who I should to contact. Any suggestions? I really need your help and I am sure it is really good software.

    Any suggestion? Admin of this board? Who can help me

  • I installed Nik:s suite of plug-ins for LR5 but for some reason not all of them were installed. In the end I uninstalled all of the Nik programs from my Mac but before I reinstalled them I opened LR5 again to check. Under "photo" and "edit in" the plug-in

    I installed Nik:s suite of plug-ins for LR5 but for some reason not all of them were installed. In the end I uninstalled all of the Nik programs from my Mac but before I reinstalled them I opened LR5 again to check. Under "photo" and "edit in" the plug-ins were still presented but no programs opened, of course. after reinstalling the plug-ins one of the programs appeared twice in the list but not the others. I´m going to reinstall them again and I´m wondering if there is anyway of erasing the links to the plug-ins under "photo" and "edit in" ???

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • New AJAVideo Mac & Windows Plug-Ins for @Adobe CS6

    New #AJAVideo Mac & Windows Plug-Ins for @Adobe #CS6 now available! Read more http://bit.ly/IfTKL9 download http://bit.ly/JcwWfx

    First off - yay.
    In the little amount of time I have had to test, the first thing I notice is that the video out to my ext. monitor seems to lag by a few frames from the program monitor in Pr.  AJA support is great in their help, but I'm wondering before I bother them, is anyone else seeing this - is there a setting to be tweaked? 
    Also, the video out is looking a touch soft to me - I have a Flanders Scientific Grade 1 monitor, so it is not the hardware.  I may need to test this a bit more with other footage, but it was my first impression.  Wonder if the settings here need to be tweaked as well.
    I had visions that Transmit would output the hoverscrub, but it looks like you have to click on the clip and play back before it is displayed exernally.  But, on second thought, I don't know how that would be utilized, since the video out would have to suddenly switch every time you hover your mouse over the clips in the bins.
    Having said all that, I am thrilled to finally have this driver!

    I SCREWD UP AND SHUT DOWN MY MAC WHEN IT WAS IN THE PRIVLEDGES STAGE BECAUSE MY PLUG-INS FOR AFTER EFFECTS WASNT WORKING, WHEN I SHUT IT DOWN AND TRIED TO START IT BACK UP, MY MAC KEPT RESTARTING, TEST-RAN-ERROR..4MOT/1/40000003:HDD-14444? WAT IS THIS? WAT DO I DO TO GET MY MAC BACK RUNNING

    I believe you've posted this multiple times. Once is all that's needed. Also, please don't use all caps. Aside from the fact it means you're shouting it's also harder to read than mixed case.
    The error means a bad fan motor or the HDD has failed. In your case it's the latter.  You can try the following:
    Drive Preparation
    1.  Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    When formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Complete the OS X installation.
