InPrint: InPrint lets you select a portion of an InDesign page and either print it to a disk file using one of many file formats.
InNudge: InNudge lets you interactively adjust the position and rotation of objects and pictures with an intuitive palette.
InPathfinder: InPathfinder combines selected objects into single objects to create compound shapes, and it lets you alter objects according to the shapes of overlapping objects.

What's new in this version:
- Now compatible with InDesign CS2.
- InItemMarks - Invalid limitations would be applied when adding marks to pages (CS only). Fixed.
- InModify - The InModify Text Wrap option did not work properly after manually changing this setting in InDesign. Fixed.
- InPathFinder - Elements of the user interface were not working correctly. Fixed.
- InPrint:
- The InPrint dialog now closes after printing and after exporting.
- After creating a PDF, the InPrint dialog does not update right away. Fixed.
- When exporting to an InDesign document, group boxes on master pages become ungrouped when there are overridden boxes from the same master page. Fixed.
- Rotated items would not be positioned correctly when exporting to InDesign documents, PDFs, and EPS files. Fixed.
- The last saved file format is now persistent. InPrint will select the last used file format in the Save dialog.
- Items on hidden layers were being ignored. As a result, when hidden items effected visible items (for example, because of text wrap options), the final output would not match the original document. Fixed.
- InDesign CS2 has new paragraph style attributes: towards spine and away from spine alignments. When exporting a selection to InDesign documents, InPrint looks for all paragraphs with these styles and converts them to left or right alignment styles. This ensures these paragraphs match the original document.
- The Skip by Leading preference was not getting copied when exporting to InDesign documents. This resulted in text boxes being reflowed differently. Fixed.
- Documents with the Composition Preferences "Text Wrap Only Affects Text Beneath" enabled resulted with text boxes not drawing when exporting to InDesign documents. Fixed.
- When exporting to XML, tagged images were not being saved according to Export XML Image Options. Fixed. Documents saved after using InPrint would require InPrint to be loaded everytime the document was re-opened. InPrint should not be required to open any document. Fixed.
- The baseline grid color preference from source documents is now copied to new documents when exporting to InDesign documents.
- When exporting as a PDF with password-protection, the password was visible in the dialog while typing. Fixed.
- There were a few cosmetic issues in the PDF export dialog. Fixed
- InStarburst - User modified settings would revert back to original default settings each time InDesign was launched. Fixed. Fixed a bug that caused StarBursts to be placed incorrectly on spreads other than the first (InDesign CS only).

Developer gets extra stars for addressing problem - Version: 1.1, 4/21/2004 01:25PM PST

as an update to the initemmarks problems, I recd a very prompt confirmation of the problem from the developer today, along with a work-around that has provided functionality while they work on the problem. To get the initem marks plug in to create marks larger than 12" create an empty frame in the position, and then select the plug-in.
This will allow the size to be whatever the frame is, no restriction. ALAP is now aware of the problem, and are working on a fix.

used to be my absolute favourite collection of plug-ins, but now the initem marks tool is totally useless for me as it is now limited to sizes between 1 to 12". as a large format designer this is a very nasty surprise with my CS update, i have lost the most useful tool in the tool box, for now I have to make all my trims in indesign 2 with intools 1.02 (which was not limited in any way) and then oopen in the CS version. I don't understand why this would have been so restricted in the update to 1.1, but have not had a reply from ALAP.
