The InDesign Plug-In We Gave Away This Time

 
[5] ProScale ID
InDesign Plug-In from Gluon

ProScale ID is a scaling utility unlike any other and a quick look will let you know why we call it Pro. Speed, accuracy and stability are only the beginning. It’s the only scaling tool with IntelliScale Technology which allows InDesign users to scale non-proportionally without distorting type and graphics, whether using a click-and-drag tool or the ProScale dialog.
ProScale ID is also the only way you can scale entire single or multipage documents in one click (page size and style sheets included). It’s the kind of tool that once you start using it you’ll wonder how you did without it.

ProScale provides the power and flexibility you need in a resizing Plug-In.
ProScale even scales your Style Sheets and guides. You can choose to scale only the text boxes, text size, run-arounds, line weight, style sheets, graphics, tabs, or any combination thereof.

You can easily scale a selection to A4, A5, 1 column, 2 columns, business card size, 1/3 page, 1/2 page, letter size, tabloid size, etc. by selecting the desired size from the pop-up menu. Companies that need to prepare materials for US and European publications can now do so easily. ProScale also allows you to to scale an element or group of elements to different stepped sizes quickly and easily to see how size variations affect a design.

ProScale rounds your fonts to the nearest half point ‹ and this feature is more than simple aesthetics. Every RIP is built in half point increments, so if your fonts are in half point sizes it ensures the fastest output possible.
