It helps in the case of structured environment where the images a designer needs are made available to him or her in a designated folder.

Lightning Brain StoryParker
Plug-In
This plug-in helps a designer manage cluttered pages. Every English InDesign CS and CS2 page item can be temporarily parked - it is put aside, somewhere on the pasteboard. Later on, with a single click, it can be moved back to exactly where it came from. The idea is to get one or more page items out of the way quickly, for example to reach something thats underneath, without risk of accidently moving page items and destroying a carefully crafted layout. Parked items are initially put on the pasteboard, and can be moved around freely from there - any movement while they are parked is irrelevant and forgotten the instant they are unparked. This plug-in will enable you to generate Sudoku puzzles directly into an InDesign document. Youre in control of the look and feel of the generated Sudoku - and our generator takes care of actually building the puzzles for you. The Text Exporter plug-in allows users to export all the stories of an InDesign document into a single file. The features include: Export in three different file formats: Rich Text Format, InDesign Tagged Text and Text. Export stories belonging to a specified page range Exclude stories on master pages.

InCatalog
Plug-In
InCatalog creates bi-directional links between your document and your data source, letting you update either one. You can update any text or graphics immediately. Linked elements can be moved between documents and libraries freely without loss of linkage, and links dont affect layout or typography. InData builds complex documents from raw data. Using an English-like scripting language, you define the rules that format your text and graphics. When youre ready to build your document, InData imports and formats your data, generating up to thousands of pages per hour. InFlow eliminates the process of adding pages and linking text frames manually. It detects overset text as it occurs and creates as many new document pages as needed, linking the current text story to the new pages so text flows automatically. InFlow is bundled with all other Em Software products, and is available as a standalone product. Xtags is a powerful text filter that turns tagged text into finished documents, letting you build very complex documents using the data-side environment of your choice to produce a tagged text file. Tagged text in the file generates an InDesign document with fully styled text content, anchored and unanchored frames sized to their contents, grouped items, applied master pages, etc.

Concatenate connects two or more paths into one continuous path. English CS and CS2 You specify how close the endpoints should be, within how many degrees from tangent the endpoints must be, and whether to average the endpoints and control points together. Its especially useful for cleaning up CAD drawings that have been converted to Adobe Illustrator or connecting and filling state/country borders in vector map files. The plugin also includes Assimilate, which will search out unselected paths that are within the distance and angle you specify, and concatenate them. This plugin adds three tools in Adobe Illustrator: 1) Hatchet tool: Click to use like the Scissors tool, except that it will cut through all paths at that point, not just the top path. This makes it perfect for cutting two lines where they cross. Hold down the Option key to cut through only selected paths. After cutting, you can drag the tool over the unwanted paths to delete them. 2) Saber Saw tool: Drag the tool to draw a freeform line. When you release the mouse button, the Saber Saw will do a fence cut through paths that cross the one you drew. 3) Table Saw tool: Click and drag to create a straight line to do a fence cut. 4) Vector Vac tool: Either click on paths or drag through them to delete them. Nudge Palette you to adjust the position of a patterned fill within an object or of a dash pattern along a path. Clicking the arrow buttons will move the dash or pattern by one point. Holding down combinations of modifier keys will make the distance moved longer or shorter. Click the Untransform button to reset a dash or pattern to its default setting, also removing any transformations such as scaling, rotating, etc., that may have been done earlier. You can also copy or display the transformation matrix from placed EPS or embedded raster art, or paste the matrix into another placed or embedded object. Convert a selected paths anchor points to corner points, and adjust the path segments so that lines within 20 degrees of vertical and horizontal will be made square. Paths can alternately be made square along the current constrain angle or along the dominant axis within the selection, or all control handles can simply be retracted to change all points to corner points.
