>> PrePress Studio just released eDocker, a wonderful utility program for any InDesign CS4 or CS5 user who exports files to SWF. eDocker makes the SWFs more user-friendly in the browser because it lets you add page navigation and zoom controls, among other goodies. Try the free 3-day trial or purchase eDocker at this special URL and enter the coupon code IDS1 for 10% off.
>> Rorohiko sells a fascinating plug-in called MagnetoGuides that makes it easy to quickly layout grid-based designs because page objects become "magnetized" to the guides. You've got to try it for yourself; it’s FREE for 20 days, and then when you can't live without it, you’ll want to buy it for the low price of $59. Or, reduce the cost by 10% if you enter INDESIGNSECRETS123 in the coupon code area of Rorohiko’s shopping cart.
