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.
For information on third-party plug-ins, see
.
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.
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.
