Previously, this space has been occupied by a long list of things that ID-Tasker CAN do – but this list would have to be constantly updated – which would be a complete waste of time.
Instead, let’s list things that ID-Tasker CAN’T do for you – which would be much easier:
- ID-Tasker can’t decide, if some image will look better / should be positioned on the left or right,
- ID-Tasker can’t decide, if this image should be a square or a vertical / horizontal rectangle,
- ID-Tasker can’t decide, which part of this image should be visible.
And that’s pretty much a complete list of things that ID-Tasker CAN’T do – anything else, no matter how crazy, as long as it can be clicked – ID-Tasker can click it for you.
ID-Tasker isn’t limited to communicating and controlling only InDesign – it can do the same with Illustrator, Photoshop, Acrobat, MS WORD, Excel, PowerPoint, CorelDRAW, etc. – with anything that can be controlled through VBA / VB6.
ID-Tasker has full access to all your system resources – local databases, files, folders, servers in your local network, etc.
ID-Tasker can connect to almost anything on the web – FTP, email, web services, etc.
ID-Tasker can work 24/7.
ID-Tasker is extremely versatile – can be used by beginners or to perform simple, repetitive operations – as a “3rd, helping hand” – or can be used to automate complex workflows – import data, process data, export, upload somewhere.
You can think of ID-Tasker as a much more advanced version of Actions in Photoshop / Illustrator – unfortunately, right now, recording isn’t implemented, you’ll need to recreate your steps manually using rules/commands and save them as Tasks.
Even if you are not interested in automating things – you can always use free version as a browser of the complete structure of your document.
So, if you are here not by an accident and you value your time and money – ID-Tasker is your answer.
You can check Documentation here. It’s not a complete list as new options are added all the time.
If you have any special requirements or you want to ask if something can be automated – please get in touch.
Now, it’s time for a bold, maybe for some too bold, statement:
