You can choose to process one file at a time, or turn on the Automatic setting and watch a folder for any InDesign files dropped into it.
How It Works: PDF Bee watches a folder that you designate. Any file (or packaged folder) you drop in the watched folder is opened, checked for image links and fonts, and begins processing. Each page of the document is exported as PDF/Postscritped-Distilled/and-or saved as JPG/EPS. The output files will be named with the page numbers after the document name, such as "outputfile_001.pdf". If you include a font folder with the ID file, fonts will automatically be opened before each file is processed. Your document can have non-sequential pages, and the file names will be output using the individual page's names. For example, the pages could be 1, 5, 18, 29, 101, 102, 109. The output PDFs will be named with _001, _005, _018, etc. You can also process 1 file at a time (without watching a folder), and use the same options of PS-PDF/PS/PDF/JPG/EPS. You can have multiple PDF Bees running on multiple computers, all watching a single job folder, for processing large amounts of files in parallel. Features:

Once you select a folder, the application tells InDesign to make a document with the number of image frames per page you specify, places the files, and creates a text frame with the image information below it. New options allow you to make document presets in InDesign and select one to use to make your catalog. By selecting a document preset with no page margins, no image title and no image desciptions and 1 box per page, you can create a document with 1 image per page. Features

After payment PLEASE WAIT to be redirected to the page with your download information! *Tested with CS6 on 2-5-13, it appears to function properly!* Have you ever wanted a really compact font sample for your collection of fonts? Tired of wading through hundreds of pages of samples generated by programs that can't group all fonts of a family together? ID Font Catalog is for you! IDFC uses Adobe InDesign to intelligently get the list of fonts available and creates a sample of each font family, but only of the primary font style, and makes a smaller listing of the other styles like text-bold, italic, compressed, etc! ID Font Catalog is THE ONLY font catalog program available (that I know of) that groups fonts in their family. Every other commercial or free solution creates a new page for every style! ID Font Catalog groups fonts by their family. Look at smarter font samples, not more! Features:
SNOW LEOPARD - OS X 10.6.0 USERS -The new system font "MENLO ITALIC" will cause a bug in making a font catalog. Please add "Menlo" to your skip list in order to have a correct looking catalog. If left in the catalog, single page catalogs will be blank after the Menlo font. The Italic face has some tracking problems and uses up all the available horizontal space in the box. You can also update to 10.6.3 or higher, I believe it is fixed. Requirements:

It features a list of all attached drives/volumes where to search upon. You can choose to search one, all, or only a select few drives. This is useful for cutting your search time down, or when you know you only need to search certain disks. Especially helpful in networked environments where you really don't want to search all connected volumes. Classic Find uses the Spotlight search engine for default searches, so your volumes should be able to be searched by Spotlight. You can use the File Search function to search all files individually on a disk, but this is much much slower. But unlike Spotlight which excludes certain directories from its index (like the System and Library folders), File Search will look at everything. But it can be slow. Features:

Accurate Size Of Folder -drag and drop a folder to get a more accurate file size calculation, useful for burning CD/DVD becase the Finder info is hard to calculate and Toast (5/6)now doesn't give an accurate size to the megabyte. File Type And Creator Changers -drag and drop files onto these scripts to set the file type and creators information in OS X. Many files in X rely solely on the file extension, but sometimes its helpful to set them, such as changing .jpgs to Photoshop .jpgs so a double click opens Photoshop instead of Preview. Send BCCs -this script is for use with MS Entourage. You select a variety of email messages, then run this. This script then makes a new outgoing email with the BCC field populated by the messages you had selected. It's an easy way to send private emails out to everyone you received an email from. I use it for sending messages to everyone who's purchased a script. It's easier than trying to manage a group, plus you can be more selective. PDF Combiner -this Applescript will combine all PDFs in a chosen folder into one file. It can combine pages that are of different sizes. Stuffit Expander is a FREE application to unstuff compressed files. It is a free download, available here, or here and if you purchase my commercial apps you'll need it to open the file. Yes it is FREE even though they may prompt you to purchase the full version, the Expander app is free. I have no control or benefit from Stuffit, these links may change at any time. I am selling these scripts "as is" and take no responsibility for any data loss, corruptions, or system difficulty you may have. I will make every effort to ensure these applications' functionality as stated but cannot guarantee operability on all computers and any specific configuration. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE INDESIGN OR ANY OTHER REQUIRED PROGRAM DO NOT PURCHASE THESE ITEMS THEN REQUEST A REFUND. Since I can't know for sure if you are an ID user/owner, I can't offer refunds for these reasons.These apps are for Mac OS X operating system only, and will NOT work on Windows.
