Release: InData 6/7/8.1.9.1 for InDesign CS4/5/5.5/6
This release of InData adds support for Adobe InDesign CS6, officially ends support for CS4, and improves the import experience.
Notes
With this release, the CS6 plug-in now requires a valid InData 8 (CS6) serial number.
This release bundles our InFlow companion plug-in, which may be required for your data imports to automatically add pages properly. Note that InFlow is not installed by the InData zxp installer; instead, you’ll need to double-click the separate InFlow zxp installer file.
Changes
- Added support for InDesign CS6.
-
When importing InDesign Tagged Text using the
&it
tag, a start file tag is now allowed and, if present, can indicate the desired encoding of the import. A “narrow” tag like<ASCII-MAC>
at the beginning of the tagged text now forces the tagged text to be treated as Roman/Latin characters and enables special character tags like<0x2022>
. Likewise, a wide tag like<UNICODE-WIN>
forces the tagged text to be treated as Unicode characters.For example,
<&it"""<ASCII-WIN>bullet character: <0x2022>.""">
will now properly place the bullet character.The default encoding, when no start file tag is provided, has not changed and is still UNICODE.
- Improved compatibility with InDesign’s Smart Text Reflow feature.
- Fixed a problem where a start file tag like
<ASCII-MAC>
in InDesign-tagged text could cause the import to fail. - Fixed a problem where invalid control characters were being allowed to pass into the document.
- Fixed the Data Preferences dialog’s delimiter popups so that the 00 (null) entry is selectable.
- Fixed a problem where using Show document changes every N records wasn’t always redrawing the document. (Mac only)
