InDesign© Plugins

InSefer is a collection of plug-ins which combined, turn InDesign into an advanced automated pagination system for laying out Hebrew publicatons. Our goal is to provide the tools for incredible automation in publishing seforim (hebrew books) at prices anyone can afford. To this end we decided to develop our product line based using the APID ToolAssistant developing evironment.

Buying InSefer as a suite has a considerable price advantage over buying the plugins individually. When buying the InSefer suite, you are entitled to activate on two personal installations—just like InDesign. Buying InSefer can save you between $161 (for one installation) and $561 (for two installations) over buying the plugins separately! That's up to 235% off!

InSefer provides most functions specifically necessary for publishing seforim. InSefer is the publishing package for seforim of the future! There are some plug-ins still in development, and licensed users of the InSefer plug-in pack will be eligible for discounted purchase when they are released.

Below is an overview of the plug-ins included in the InSefer plug-in pack.

• AutoFlow Pro:
AutoFlow Pro combines with InDesign's sophisticated composition abilities to provide a remarkably advanced solution for flowing and reflowing entire documents, and requires only minimal user attention. With AutoFlow Pro you fully control the layout of both text and images, using both master frames and non-master frames.

• Drop Words:
Drop Words creates the word drops common in seforim. The number of words dropped are definable based on paragraph style. The composition of the drop words can be dynamically updated.

• Formatting Tools:
Formatting Tools is a collection of utilities to enable quick and easy styling of text.

• Layout Tools:
Layout Tools is a plug-in which combines three In-Tools plug-ins into one: Column Flow, Side Heads, and Story Tools.

Column Flow flows text with a variable number of columns. It can create straddle headers and straddle footers, as well as balance multiple column frames.

Side Heads creates anchored side headers from based on character or paragraph styles. All side heads are reversible—so the side headers can be returned to the text flow.

Story Tools creates a new concept called "Story Strings". This enables logical ordering of stories as well as enables improved performance.

• MultiLingual Tools:
Formatting Tools is a collection of utilities necessary for layout of mixed languages.

• Proper VJ:
Proper VJ creates proportional vertical justification. The amount of space added is completely controllable by the user. Proper VJ finally makes vertical justification useable in InDesign!

• Reflective Objects:
Reflective Objects enables objects and guides to have a defined position relative to the spine. This enables (among other things) the ability to shuffle pages without objects losing their side-relative positions.

• Running Headers:
Running Headers creates page-reflective headers, and offers many many advanced options not found elsewhere.
