InCatalog For Mac

Adobe InDesign documents can use data from a database or spreadsheet to simplify data input and updating, but synchronizing this information can prove to be a challenge, whichever source ends up being modified.

InCatalog is an InDesign plug-in created to simplify this process. The idea is to allow you to synchronize the contents of both your databases and documents in one click. By making the procedure much simpler, using a database for your projects becomes easier and less prone to data mismatches.

This plug-in can ensure that your InDesign documents use the latest information added to your database, while also pushing changes in the other direction, from the document to the database, without requiring complicated additional steps.

It supports simple text data snapshot files and various types of databases. You can use the linking panel to set up connections between database elements and document text elements; these elements can be anything from a single character to an entire paragraph or text block.

You can view links between database and document elements on the screen, to more easily organize your work, without them affecting the page layout or appearing in the printed document. These links can also be moved between documents and libraries.
