»Really, do you appreciate guys who uses this software?«

Wenn man sich die Kommentare unter den Beta-Features von InDesign im Forum so durchliest, wird der Eindruck schon sehr bestärkt, dass sich Adobe mittlerweile sehr weit von seinen User:innen entfernt hat.

Plugin Update: Accessibility and ALT-Text for InDesign

New versions of the plugins are now available on Adobe Exchange. (According to Adobe, the payment issues have been resolved.)

The ALT-Text plugin now has new context options, a brand-new metadata tab, and there is a cleanup action to remove all alternative texts.

The update for Accessibility-4-InDesign includes performance improvements and a few bug fixes.

Generate Bookmarks in your InDesign document by paragraph styles, character styles or GREP search.

I wrote the script 12 years ago. Recently, a colleague suggested a useful enhancement: nesting the bookmarks according to a hierarchical structure of headings (e.g., based on the export tags H1, H2, H3, or a manual selection).

As I continue to read through #NormanSolomon's book "The Blue Road to Trump Hell" while stripping the terrible code #Adobe #InDesign output in the #EPUB version, the thing that stands out is how the #DNC simply haven't understood; the #USPol electorate post-Obama isn't the same as pre.

No #Centrist can build the necessary coalition on the left, because the fundamental hypocrisy of the Centrist position, that corporate agendas are compatible with the #Democrat voter base, is electorally toxic.

Alles neu macht der Mai – zumindest bei InDesign. In Diesen Tagen wird Version 21.4 nach und nach ausgerollt, wie man so schön sagt. Es gibt einige neue Funktionen und Fehlerbehebungen.

Ich werde mir alles in Ruhe (kann etwas dauern) ansehen und dann wie immer meine Einschätzung auf InDesign-Status.de abgeben. Bis dahin gilt mein Rat: Abwarten.

Oh my god, I've just seen the #HTML and #CSS #Adobe #InDesign puts out when creating an #EPUB.

I think I'm going to be sick. 🤢

HTML-Import für InDesign. Cool, was alles geht. Da ich so einen Anwendungsfall noch nie hatte, frage ich mal in die Runde: Habt ihr Projekte, für die das sinnvoll ist?
