Panel: tomaxxiBROWSE [panel based web browser for InDesign CS5]
Few days ago, my very good friend Martinho da Gloria posted picture that inspired me. It was picture of web of panel based web browser inside InDesign CS5! It was simple, just with address bar and page window, and I decided to expand it little bit more. I added back/forward, refresh, stop buttons, little menu with some useful links. Hope you will find it useful as much as I do! 😀
Keep in mind that it will not work in pre-CS5 versions of InDesign! It has no installer, so you have to unzip SWF and copy it yourself to panels folder.
Folder can be found here:
{Adobe InDesign CS5 install folder}\Plug-Ins\Panels
If “panels” folder does not exists in your “plug-ins” folder, feel free to create it.
Special thanks to
Martinho da Gloria from Automatication
for his excellent idea having browser inside InDesign! 😀
That’s it!
Have fun! 😀
Amaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazing !!!
Hi. The link is unavailable 😦
Hi! Just checked it, and it’s working for me. Have you tried to right-click and save target?
Link corrected!
Sorry for inconvenience!
It’s really awesome. Thx a lot for this panel. Next step : multi pages in multi tab
You are welcome!
Well, I’m working on multi-tab version… 😉
neat trick but how is it useful?
It’s all up to you 🙂
You can copy/paste text from web to document, generate Lorem Ipsum and other stuff… Also, you can drag and drop pictures directly to document form web, but it will create embedded images.
hahaha I am eating my words. Just remembered this existed and wanted it for CS4. dang. Well we are upgrading soon so I will snatch it then.
Just tried to install this for CS5.5… Is there a need to update it?
