News and special offers from our sponsors:
>> Certitec, an Adobe Authorized Training Partner in the UK, offers Adobe DPS (Digital Publishing Suite) 2-day Pro and Enterprise courses in London and Cardiff. NEW for students who are funding their training themselves (not from a company): a 25% discount on any course when you quote "InDesign Secrets." (If you forget to say "InDesignSecrets" then you only get 20% off.) That's a great deal!
>> Rorohiko: They just keep making ePubCrawler better, and it's still donation-ware! ePubCrawler is a Fixed Layout ePub Assistant for InDesign. The highly-customizable script takes an InDesign document and converts it to a fixed-layout ePub (think kid's books, cookbooks, photography books, etc.) ready to upload to your favorite reseller. This turns a job that normally takes dozens of hours into minutes! Watch any of their six tutorial videos to see how it works. For InDesignSecrets fans: anybody who donates US$50 or more now will get a free license if and when they release it commercially, like a home-grown Kickstarter!

QUIZZLER ANSWERS
In podcast 179, we asked listeners:
"How many ways in InDesign can you figure out the filename of a placed image without using the Links panel or Links panel menu?"
The winning entry was submitted by Jim Leonardson, InDesign freelancer in Chicago! For his prize, he chose an autographed copy of Real World InDesign CS6, which is on its way. Here is Jim's list:
A wonderful effort, but Jim missed a few. Here are additional correct answers, compiled from all the entries we received:
