Gotta’ rush these to you this week! So much to do, so much to say, so much to read…
- You know you want to learn about EPUB, so why not watch a few hours of Anne-Marie explain it all to you at lynda.com!
- This is a fun and good overview of things to think about when publishing to a tablet device.
- Marijan Tompa, better known to some as tomaxii, has been writing cool scripts and writing up tips and so on… all for free! Now let’s all do him a favor! Donate a few bucks — whatever you can afford — to help send him from his hometown in Serbia to the Print and ePublishing Conference in Washington DC.
- Script typefaces are lovely to work with, but be aware of these do’s and don’ts!
- I haven’t tried this yet, but I’d love to hear how it works: A way to use QuickLook previews on InDesign files, similar to SneakPeekPro from Codeline.
- Here’s a little, pretty straightforward tutorial on creating a gift certificate (voucher).
- Here’s a tutorial by Claudia McCue on using CS5’s multiple page sizes to make a book cover. (This is similar to what Steve Werner talked about in this article.)
- I haven’t had time to digest all of what Adobe’s new web standard, called CSS Regions, is about, but it sure looks interesting!
- There are lots of options for making barcodes in InDesign. Here’s a new script for making ISBN codes. (I still like Teacup software’s barcode maker, though it costs.)
- Are you intrigued by the idea of lending or borrowing eBooks? Here’s my friend G.F.’s article on the subject at the Economist.
- Hey, don’t forget that Monday is “pi day”! Check out one of my other sites, joyofpi.com. And if you’re hungry (or want to become hungry), check out this fun article at npr, sent to me by Terri Stone.
Enjoy!

Read the post recommended for the bar code maker in design. Sometimes need to convert barcodes in reports solution into PDF. And it is easy to insert bar codes in PDF now.
@Michael: I installed it here, but I can’t get it to show more than the first page of the ID file, even if I’ve set ID to create previews of more pages (2, 5, 10, or all). Is that to be expected?

PageExtractor? (https://www.loicaigon.com/en/auto.php)
Excellent list.
Is there a script to save pages (Indesign cs5) to create new Indesign file?
I need these files to use in an EPUB workflow.
rohan, many thanks! I’ve updated it now to do add-on barcodes as well.
Skilldrick, I love the barcode reader. Just wanted you to know that at least one person finds it incredibly useful. Thanks.
Thanks for mentioning my barcode maker! It’s very basic, but I hope some people can find some use of it.
Thanks David, for mentioning the little QuickLook tip from my blog! Well as for how it works, it works like a charm! Only “downside” to it, if you’re looking at InDesign files which haven’t been saved with a preview (or a small preview) it’s hard to see the content. So it depends a little bit on your InDesign preferences for the best result. Best feature of it all: it’s free. SneakPeek Pro ($19,95) adds same for AI (and other) files but it also requires your InDesign previews created from the application. It also gives you the info about used fonts, images and colors and gives you multiple pages preview. So there it is, done all the work for ya ;-)
