PR: Layer Groups 2.0 InDesign Plug-in for InDesign CS to CS5 now shipping

PRESS RELEASE — FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prague, May 19, 2010 — DTP Tools announces the immediate availability of the new Layer Groups 2.0 plug-in with more than doubled feature set. The plug-in is CS5-ready and the upgrade from any previous version of Layer Groups and InDesign is free (as all DTP Tools plug-in upgrades always are).

New Features

Listing of objects in the layer on current spread
Listing of objects in the layer in the document
Importing layers including structure and content from other documents

Original Key Features

Sorting of layers into group folders
Ability to apply non-printing attribute to entire layer (redundant in CS3 and later)

With Layer Groups 2.0 users can enjoy the listing and naming of objects within a layer! (This was introduced in InDesign CS5, but Layer Groups lets you do it in any InDesign version from CS up, with additional settings filtering objects for spread or document.) List of objects displays object type, link info, and can have custom name assigned.

InDesign users may also be interested in the the Layer Tools bundle (which includes Layer Groups). The Suite lets you import layers and content from other documents, and export a document created from selected layers. Note that this replaces the functionality of a competing solution that sells for more than five times the Layer Groups price.

The improved features for organizing layers and objects, together with the synchronzing features make this affordable plug-in a must have tool for any workflow utilizing layers in InDesign, such as catalog creation, translation workflows and documents with multiple output versions.
