Plug-ins
Install plug-ins
The InDesign plug-in modules are software programs developed by Adobe Systems, and by other software developers
working in conjunction with Adobe, to add features to Adobe software. A number of importing, exporting, automation,
and special-effects plug-ins come with your program and are automatically installed in the Plug-Ins folder. In fact, most
of the features you see in InDesign are provided by plug-ins.
Once installed, plug-in modules appear as options on menus, in dialog boxes, or in panels.
1 If an installer is provided, use it to install the plug-in module. Otherwise, drag a copy of the module into the Plug-Ins
folder inside the InDesign application folder.
2 Follow any installation instructions that come with the plug-in.
Note: You can use any commercial plug-in designed for use with InDesign. Adobe Technical Support can help you isolate
problems related to plug-ins. However, if it has been determined that the problem is directly related to a plug-in created by
another company, you will need to contact that company for further support.
Use Extension Manager to configure plug-ins
Use the Extension Manager application to inspect and customize the set of installed plug-ins. For example, you can get
detailed information about installed plug-ins, create custom plug-in sets for different tasks or workgroups, and isolate
plug-ins when troubleshooting problems. You can also disable plug-ins.
❖ Choose Help > Manage Extensions (Windows) or InDesign > Manage Extensions (Mac OS).
For more information on using Extension Manager, click Help in the Extension Manager application.
