QUESTION: What is a plug-in?
ANSWER: A "plug-in" is a software
module that enhances the functionality of a software application.
In other words, a plug-in adds features to an application.
Plug-ins are sometimes referred to as "extensions" — and plug-ins
for QuarkXPress are called "XTensions."
A plug-in cannot function on its own; it is designed to work in
conjunction with a particular application.
There are plug-ins available for many software applications, including
Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Adobe Photoshop,
and QuarkXPress. When plug-ins are mentioned on this Web site, it is
usually in the context of a discussion about
the Adobe Acrobat
software.
There are many plug-ins available for Adobe
Acrobat. Here are just some of the things that you can do with plug-in
software for Adobe Acrobat:
- make sure a PDF file will print properly in your
environment (this is often called "preflighting")
- re-position the pages in a PDF file
- re-number the pages in a PDF file
- make extensive changes to the text in a PDF file
- combine several PDF files to make one PDF file
- extract text from a PDF file in a format that represents the hierarchy with the PDF
(the relationships among headings and sub-headings, etc.)
- print a PDF file in booklet format (i.e., saddle-stitch format)
- change the color specifications in a PDF file from CMYK to RGB and vice versa.
