Plugin installation

Where to find?

Clean up before you start

If you haven't cleaned up previously installed plugins, please follow the instructions above first.

There are 3 CHILI InDesign plugins compatible with Adobe InDesign that make up the CHILI InDesign Extension Family.
The CHILI Publish Converter,  CHILI Publish Live Preflight and the CHILI Publish Data Manager.

Both installation and updating of the InDesign Extension is handled by our own installer *CHILI_Desktop_Tools-OS-installer*
The extensions are released together with the normal CHILI publisher releases.

You can find the extensions in the zipfile of the installer of CHILI publisher, in the extensions folder/DesktopTools 4 or via the link at the top of this page. 
Simply double clicking the installer will initiate the installation of the CHILI Extensions in the right locations.
