In this InDesign how-to video, Chad Chelius shows off the Claquos script which lets you create a pie chart or a ring chart, right within InDesign. Even the free version of the script has the ability to choose up to 5 segments, set data, pick a color theme, edit the colors, and make changes to the legend it automatically creates. The script—which offers a more robust paid version—can be found here.
This comes from Chad’s “Scripts Every InDesign User Needs” session at CreativePro Week 2020.
