Having worked in a book design studio, I know that laying out a book jacket can
be a tedious job. Adding all the dimensions together, pulling out the guides, drawing fold marks, etc. And you had better be precise!
This script will create a book jacket in seconds. All you do is enter the sizes for cover, spine and flaps. It does the rest. It even
sets the Slug guides to include the fold marks, so printing with/without them is as easy as checking on “Include Slug Area”
in the Print dialog. |

“This script is perfect for my type of work, it will save me so much time. I’ve
set up hundreds of book jacket mechanicals from scratch over the years and now it can be done in seconds and done more precisely.”

| Feature #1: |
The Flap Fold Turnaround can be added to the document size. This means
you no longer have to add half to the flap and half to the cover. This was the most requested feature! |
| Feature #2: |
Marks and guides can be put onto their own layer. This is great
because it keeps them separate from and above your jacket's artwork. I previously locked the document’s guides, but now
they are on their own locked layer, so I can leave the document’s guides unlocked for you to freely use when designing
your jacket. |
| Feature #3: |
The script can now add crop marks. Even though InDesign can add crop
marks when printing or making a PDF, some users wanted them in the document, so here they are. Of course they are put
onto the new marks & guides layer! |
The upgrade is just $5. So upgrade today!
Please note version 2.0 no longer supports InDesign CS.
