Extend the functionality of Cognitive’s ad layout software with Plug-ins for InDesign
After you build the issue and place the ads, we make it easy to generate and manage editorial production files with our plug-ins. Cognitive’s Plug-ins are compatible with InDesign CC 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026 for Mac and Windows.
AdImport Plug-in
Once your ad dummy is finished, it’s easy to generate production files with the AdImport Plug-in for InDesign. AdImport lets you open the ad layouts as Adobe InDesign pages or overlay onto existing InDesign templates, complete with page information, ad placements, rules (with Rules Manager) and links. Ad images are also displayed if their links were resolved in AdforceX with Smart Links.
Fido Plug-in
Our Fido Find File Links Plug-in quickly establishes file path information so missing or late ads can be easily updated in InDesign production files after the ad boxes are placed using AdImport. Fido sniffs out the digital ad files that were not available when the AdforceX dummy was created, eliminating the need for the InDesign user to manually find and link those last ad boxes to their appropriate files. No more tedious hunting through volumes and folders to find out where the graphics are. Just ask Fido to check the imported links, or give Fido a starting point on your network, and it automatically hunts down each ad and attaches the correct file path.
Split & Folio Plug-in
Got a department full of layout designers and only one document? Divvy up the pages of your layout document with Split & Folio and let everybody get to work. Split & Folio preserves the information of the original InDesign document while letting you deal out single pages or page ranges. Just open the original and click the Split & Folio “Save as Pages” option under the File menu. You’ll be prompted to enter the page range, and whether to save a document for each page or a single document with multiple pages. The new documents retain all the properties of the original, including all the attributes inherited from AdforceX, such as ad placements, file links, page labels and folios.
