No InBooklet SE features for InDesign CS3, is there a 3rd party plug-in ???

I am searching for a plug-in for Mac that will supply all/most of the capabilities of InDesign's CS2 InBooklet SE for InDesign CS3. Realizing that Print Booklet was not designed to offer the same services as it's CS2 predecessor, I am hoping that a 3rd party will step up to the plate to fill the gap.
Features such as manually altering the pagination by deleting or inserting blank pages and generating a new InDesign document in printer spreads (rather than just a PDF, as in CS3) are vital to my Design department.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks all!

InBooklet was VERY limited in it's ability to PROPERLY create new files.
That ability would have gotten even worse had those limitations
continued into CS3.
Imposition is the job of the printer, not the designer. And if you are
the printer there's really no need to be imposing InDesign files.
Follow Richard's advice and impose PDFs...it's far safer since you don't
have to worry about shadows moving or number lists getting totally mangled.
You might want to have a look at Quite Imposing since I wouldn't really
want to depend on anything owned by Quark.

I need the upgrade path for Indesign CS3 to operate on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8?

I need the upgrade path for Indesign CS3 to operate on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8?

The latest, and only available choice is CS6. You have two choices, subscribe to Creative Cloud or buy a new license.
There are no upgrades with the exception of a discount for the first year of the full Creative Cloud.

Is there a 3rd Party Solution for Adobe's lack of recover for unsaved work?

Time and time again I am baffled by Adobe's inability or refusal to make the user experience consistent across it's entire Creative Suite.
I am repeatedly shocked by the punitive error messages I receive in Photoshop. It's as though you don't really care what the user wants, I mean what are we going to do, use MS Paint? So you are at liberty to provide such classic errors as "Unable to complete your request because of a program error" instead of "wait, did you mean apply that filter to the only visible layer that you had selected just seconds before and never requested that the layer be de-selected?" I could go on and on with the crazy and convoluted exceptions to logic in Photoshop, but I would rather just understand why, when you know that a problem exists and affects 90% of your users at some point, why wouldn't you try to build in some form of recovery when your program crashes
Why should I be punished for relying on your program not to crash when I am working on something? I have repeatedly been advised that the best solution is to save often. Sometimes that's not an option and why should it be my responsibility to compensate for your buggy program?
After 20 years of development, you can't figure out how to recover someone's work if they haven't been able to save for some reason and Phtooshop crashes? I have been using Photoshop since Version 3 (for sure, but more likely version 2) and back then you could rename your temp files and recover the work you hadn't saved. I understand that the mechanism by which fast previews (comps) of your work are displayed but not applied (like Live Image), but why isn't it possible to store a simple text file that could retrace my steps if your program crashes?
This is a real problem if you are processing a filter that takes 30 minutes and Photoshop waits until 29 minutes and 59 seconds to announce that it stopped working. Granted you can see your document in the background, but you can't save it? You can't commit whatever is in RAM for the undo states to disk? You can't have your program quickly save a new text file with the list of commands applied between saves? You can't do anything? After 20 years?
Microsoft includes recovery in Word, Excel, etc. Even SOME Adobe programs do it: InDesign...AfterEffects. Why doesn't your flagship program do it?
It's frustrating beyond belief and it baffles me that Adobe is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Photoshop and yet this basic, basic customer need is still not effectively addressed and furthermore, any question about it is answered with indignant indifference:
it doesn't work and we don't care what you want,
think you'd be happier with our competition....
oh wait, we don't really have any competition...
maybe you should save more often...
Is there a 3rd party solution that will allow me to recover my work in Photoshop when it crashes between saves? Or am I just stuck having to cope with rebuilding my work because Adobe refuses to provide a solution.
(let the backlash begin as I try to simulate my lens blur using MS Paint....not gonna happen)

Go to google and search for keyboard recording software. That will record all of your keystrokes.
CS4 running under windows 7 appearently has some problems. While it would be nice if Adobe went back and rewrote there software for an operating system that was in early development when CS4 was released, it is not likely to happen.
Excuse me, they did it is called Adobe Photoshop CS5 and is due to be release soon.
If, If you would stop ranting for a minute, and quit feeling like you are being slammed, and possibly listen for a minute.
I am currently running Windows Vista Home Premium "not my choice" on a Toshiba A215-S4747 with 3gb ram. When I bought this laptop the Toshiba Rep was at the Best Buy and I spoke with him about this very computer. I did not want to run Windows Vista, period, I had heard to many bad reports about it. The Toshiba Rep told me that was not a problem and this computer would run Windows XP Professional just fine.
So I bought this computer and 2gb of ram as it only came with 512mb. I went home happly and proceeded to install Windows XP Pro and the new memory. Guess what?
this computer will in fact run Windows XP Pro just fine as long as you take into consideration that there are almost no hardware drivers for the periferals that make up this computer.
So I reinstall Windows Vista and for the next year I am tied into fits because of system crashes. Finally I am at the point that I am going to take this computer to the Toshiba Office in Torrance California and personally give it back to them "I was going to throw it through the front office window.".
Just before I ran across memtest and I downloaded it and tested my memory. You got it I had a defective ram chip.
Best Buy replaced the chip no problem. that was in November of 2008. I do horrible things to this computer, I really can drive it. It has not crashed once since I found and fixed the problem.
No one is suggesting that you are an idiot! or inexperienced. but no matter what you do remember 2 very simple rules.
If you run into a problem 1. "Go Back To Basics" and 2. "KISS ie: keep it simple stupid" if you do this and I am speaking from my own experience you will find like and work a lot simpler and more pleasent.

3rd Party Plug-ins for Illustrator

EskoArtwork has a Dynamic Barcode 3rd party plug-in for Illustrator that is listed on the Adobe wesbiste for Illustrator CS6. I puchased it and downloaded it but during the install I get a message saying it can't find a compatible Adobe Illustrator installation on my computer (I have CS6 installed). Upon reading the information on EskoArtwork's package, it says it is only compatible with CS4, CS5 and CS5.5. Is there a way to get this to work with CS6? If not, I would suggest Adobe take it off their list of Plug-In's for CS6.
Also - if it is not compatible, does anyone know of a similar plug-in that would generate and insert bar codes into packaging designs?
Thanks!

You'll probably need to ask EskoArtwork about this.
In past versions, I've been able to move plugins from the plugin directory for the old version to the new version, and often it worked. (YMMV, it depends on changes in the SDK.) You might try creating empty directories for a CS5 version number to see if the installer will work.

Creating an index in InDesign CS3 - is there any way to limit where and for what it looks?

I'm creating an index for a 300-page book using InDesign CS3 on both a PC with Windows XP home and a MacPro with OS X Leopard (I take this book back and forth between these two computers). I have created this as a book (.indb) file so I can use the Index panel with the book option checked to include all of the book chapters.
There are two things I was wondering how to do, if they can be done at all.
1 - I want the index to look for entries in the main pages only, not in the master pages.
2 - I'd like to be able to do only attributed text. For example, I'd like the index to find only the word people when it is bold and italic, and not all of the other places it may occur. Can I do this with a style also, paragraph and/or character?
Thanks so much,
Marcy

Read http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WS8721440D-5F68-4fd6-8115-CA3BEDACF001a.html (the online Help on indexes) -- it will probably answer a few questions.
One I do know immediately is your question on "picking up" stuff from master pages and only with formatting. InDesign does not make an index for you -- you have to (oh! manual labor!) mark the words that should appear in the index yourself. So just don't mark them on master pages, or when not bold and/or italic. You might be wondering about that little button "Mark all instances", well, it does what it say, and in your case you do not want to mark all instances.
The Capitalization issue is, AFAICR, somewhere in the Help; and so is your singular/plural stuff. The latter one is easy solved: if you mark a word to be indexed, ID asks you in a friendly dialog how it should be included, and that defaults to the current selected phrase, but you are free to edit the text in that dialog. ID does not mark the word or phrase; it inserts an invisible marker inside the to-be-indexed word that contains all information you enter in the Add Index Entry dialog, and it uses that to determine what page number to add. (That invisible marker is visible with "Show Invisible Characters", and can be cut, pasted and deleted at will -- so to remove a water melon, find the marker, and delete it.)

Programatically determine installation location for InDesign CS3, CS4, CS5, AND CS5.5 (Windows)

We build plug-ins for all versions of InDesign from CS3 and later, for Windows and Mac.
To deploy our plug-in(s) on Windows, we use InstallShield, which has a somewhat complicated mechanism to locate InDesign.exe and determine its version so we know which plug-in(s) to install, but basically, the location is determined (via the RegLocator table in InstallShield) based on this registry setting:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\InDesign.exe
This has been working fine for all versions of InDesign since CS2. However, that location is apparently no longer set by the InDesign CS5.5 installer. So, we need to find some other way of programatically locating InDesign CS5.5 with our installer.
I've searched the registry of a machine with InDesign CS5.5 installed, and there are other registry entries related to InDesign, but those entries are not set by earlier versions of the InDesign installer. Ideally, there would be a registry setting, or some other reliable marker we can use to locate the InDesign installation, which is consistent across all versions of InDesign (at least back to CS3).
Using the registry setting is something we came up with on our own via trial-and-error, since, as far as I know, there is no documented way to locate the InDesign installation folder. (Our Mac installer uses a simpler mechanism to locate InDesign by the application name and version number.)
I find the apparent lack of documentation on this a bit ironic, since just about every other aspect of the SDK and the methods for creating InDesign plug-ins is extremely well documented, expect for the last final bit one needs to know to get to the promised land of actually deploying a carefully crafted plug-in to customers' machines. (This seems to be true of the Acrobat SDK as well.) However, I could have just missed the relevant documentation, in which case, please point me to it.
So, is there a recommended way to programatically locate the InDesign installation location on Windows? How are other people doing this in their installers?

Hi Dan,
this is the InDesign plugins SDK forum, you need the installer forum....
Just kidding. I use a really hacky piece of VB to install my plugins while I'm developing...
here's the bit which works out the folder depending on which version I'm compiling for.
That gives you the gist anyway, and I imagine that most installers are going to do more or less the same thing, except they'll have short cuts ways of getting it.
There's probably a better way, but this works for me...

16 to 19 new Features for InDesign.

16th. With page Tool selected we must be able to choose selection & Direct selection Tool by pressing Ctrl key to get these tools temporarly.
17th. We must be able to select more objects on different spreads at the same time, when we zoom out to see more pages on pasteboard. now we want to align all selected objects at the center on their pages vertically & horizontally etc. there nust be check box availble in Align panel ( Align All ).
18th. Page Tool must be able to select many pages at the same time by pressing Shift Key or with Page Tool selected click & Drag on all over pages to select many pages.
19th. With many pages selected by using Page Tool there must be check box availble in the Controle bar fit all pages tp the content.
To see Other previous Features please go to my profile & click on My Stuff.

Dear Peter I did it but its not working, as you said, & also when selection Tool is selected we must be able to select direct selection tool by pressing Ctrl key to get it temporarly & if direct selection tool is slected we would press Ctrl key to get selection tool temporarly. like Illustrator. bytheway I am using Middle Eastern, maybe That problem is in M.E.
But thats OK!!! Pressing Ctrl key to get these tools temporarly is better idea than pressing their own shortcuts.
& Adobe should remove Frame Tools from InDesign b/c everyone knows these days, in InDesign basic shape tools can be changed into Frames & text frames, & text Frames also. Why rough/extra icons are needed?? in beautiful interface of lovely InDesign, few people say this is just for Quark Express user or another page layout program users, but in my idea every one know, now InDesign is the worlds no: 1 application for pagelayout & every one can see the free tutorials on TV.Adobe.com & if any person who is new user of InDesign, when that person start InDesign, that person will be welcomed by InDesign's Beautiful welcome screen, & in welcome screen there is written "Learn more about Adobe© Indesign© CS5 on Adobe TV", now no body should say ooooh with internet connected we are able to see these text!!!!! I know, but in these days computer users always use net, or I should say internet is the part of modern life, its enough to understand.
20th. feature
Script in InDesign ???? why ?
in future there must be Actions in InDesign, just like Illustrator & Photoshop so that every user of indesign can understand actions in Ai & Ps, Ps & Ai users can understand in ID easily, it will be the best for new & old users. I know actions are also script, but action are easy to understand & easily can be created by anyone, & history panel is also necessary for InDesign, I know thirdparty plugins are available, but Adobe should release their applications flexible for Adobe users.

Frame editor alike for indesign CS3

Good day.
I've been searching all around the internet about how to create custom text boxes for a newspaper, something like the frame editor plug-in for quark express does.
The frames consist of lines, but i dont want to do it by creting several strokes and the grouping them up together. And also, i dont want to loose the proportions created, by dragging the little squares on the edges of the boxes' frame.
Is there anyway indesign CS3 can do it, or do I need to use something like "frame editor" for indesign?
Thanx in advance for the answers.

Well the thing goes like this.
Image a box, and in that you'll have an article related to the main article on the page. This box has some graphic effects, and it has to look like something like this:
| title
|____
|
| text
| text
| text
It's width is of 1 colum, but it's height is undefined.
This box will be placed into a library of boxe's templates.
But assuming that boxes will never be of the same size, they'll have to be resized, very often.
I could do it using lines, but as in the newspaper we have over 20 people designing pages, working with multiple objects (lines or strokes) is not an option, as it would often lead to stuff been different throughout the paper (not obeying the graphic standards for the paper).
The deal is, I need to design a box, that looks like what i "tried" to show a few lines above, but it has to be one single object, but, when i resize it, it can't change the position of the top line, the one that goes directly under title of that box. Kinda get the picture of what i'm trying to say?
When I resize it, it has to resize only the vertical stroke, without altering the proportions of the boxe's frame.
Well, it's kinda hard to explain LoL.

Is there any 3rd party plugin that turn on native HDV editing feature?

Hello,
I love iMovie, but I'd really like to see native HDV editing feature. I guess Apple will never do this, so maybe there is some 3rd party plugin for iMovie that will allow to edit HDV without recompression?

HDV is mp2-encoded material on miniDV cassette.. the 'nature' of mpeg2 doesn't allow a frame-precise editing (only GOP precision, as used in mpeg editors as Streamclip of ProjectX); if you do any editing (adding disolve, titles, effect) you have to encode/'recompress' .. - the 'AppleIntermediate Codec' iMovie uses to make such imports editable is a lossless codec.. so, what should add a 'native HDV' editing...?

Shared Content feature for InDesign ?

So, I noticed that another application, that I won't mention the name of, has this cool feature called "Shared Content"
http://www.quark.com/products/xpress/features_shared.html
Does anyone know if there are any extensions, plugins, etc that might achieve this same result? Basically, I have multiple layouts for different markets that have much, but not all, of the same merchandise. These layouts reside on separate InDesign files, different sizes, etc.
I'd like to be able to make copy changes ONCE and have them flow through to all copy blocks I have associated with the "master" copy block.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you may have!

I used the "forget this site" feature for a website - is there a way to undo it?

Is the "forget this site" feature permanent? I didn't know what it would do so I right clicked a website in my history which I would like to restore so it shows up in future visits. Does it just forget the site for the past visits? If I go to the site again will it show up again? I'm so confused - thx for your help!

iWeb stores its sites and pages in a proprietary package format on the HDD in the user library, and when FTP'ing it to the server, it's a set of PHP and other file types. So, there is no way you can re-build from what's on the server.
But you may double-check, the file in question on the HDD is ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2 (where ~ is your user home folder). Maybe it's somewhere among your recovered files? Restoring it into the same location and copying iWeb into the Applications folder will get you going again.
Other than that, here is a discussion forum dedicated to iWeb.

3rd party plug-ins for Intel upgrade

anyone know how 3rd party companies will deal with the intel cross-over??
will there be only a small xgrade fee or have to buy the complete new software at the full price?

I'd be surprised if any companies don't offer an upgrade.
Native Instruments estimates about $29 per plug. Spectrasonics already has a free public beta of Stylus RMX.

Best levels for going into plugins (Logics or 3rd party)

What are your preferred levels to go into plugins?
I personally record at +4dbu = 0 VU = -18 dbFS, to get a bit of headroom in my 24 Bit System-Setup. But I realy would like to know if there´s an ideal level hiting some kind of plugins? I´m feeling that e.g. the UAD plugins are set up at a Pro-Level of +4dbu = 0VU, as they are emulations of vintage outboard Gear. What´s your expierience and feeling about that? Any "best levels" in your setup to hit some plugins (Logics or any 3rd party developers), like EQs, Compressors and so on?

tlester wrote:
I think by keeping 0 = -18dBFS, you are doing well. If that's how you are tracking, then you should be pretty close to coming into your plugs at 0VU (-18dBFS), which imho is ideal. My strategy is to treat "yellow as the new red". If you are peaking around -18, you should be solid.
