Make Book Jacket Script Release Notes:
Version 2.0 released 10/26/2007
- The Flap Fold Turnaround (previously called Flap Fold Safety Zone) can now increase
the document size. Previous versions of the script did not add the Flap Fold Safety Zone to the document size, meaning they
were just guides added around the flap fold. If
Turnaround Affects Document Size is checked, the script will now add that amount to the document size.
- Marks and guides can now be put on a separate
layer. This prevents them from being changed accidently and keeps them above all the jacket’s artwork.
- The script can now add crops marks. They use the same settings as the fold marks, except they are a solid line instead
of dotted. I had not included this in previous versions because InDesign can add crop marks when printing or making a PDF, but user requests
led me add the feature. You can uncheck Add Crop Marks if you prefer to use InDesign’s built in crop marks.
- The crop and fold marks Offset Past Bleed can have a negative value.
- Some default settings were changed:
- Marks and guides are put on their own layer and locked. Unlock this layer to edit the guides created by the script.
- Crop Marks are now added by default.
- Ruler Guides are no longer locked by default. Since the guides are put onto a layer that is locked, I could
leave the ruler guides unlocked. This is nicer because it allows the user to freely add and edit their own guides, without disturbing the main
guides for flap, spine, etc.
- Turnaround Affects Document Size is checked by default, so unlike the Flap
Fold Safety Zone of previous versions,
the script will now increase the document size. If this is not desired, simply uncheck Turnaround Affects Document Size.
Version 1.1 released 6/21/2006
- Changed some of the dialog’s default amounts to what I think are better initial settings.
- Added a section near the top of the script to allow people to more easily customize the dialog’s default amounts to their own liking.
- Created multiple versions of the script. One version for inches, one for picas, and one for millimeters (which also
accepts centimeters). Thanks Karsten Luecke for your input on the metric version.
- Fixed minor spelling errors.
Version 1.0 released 12/7/2005
