POWERMATH PRICES AND ORDERING INFOPOWERMATH PRICES AND ORDERING INFOFont handling has been geatly improved in v1320 of PowerMathID, as well as backward compatibility with Supersets from OS9 PowerMath.
The InDesign/InCopy interactive workflow for PowerMath has been greatly improved in this release, while previously reported bugs have been fixed, and a Keyboard Shortcuts capability has been added (see below). "Auto" base point size has been fixed for Intel machines.
PowerMathID v1320 for Adobe InDesign/InCopy CS2/CS3 (Updated 09/30/2008)
PowerMathID v1165 for Adobe InDesign/InCopy CS (Updated 08/31/2007):
Contact Mike Gorman (mike.gorman@gmail.com) for legacy version 1165 for InDesign CS.
Download the new PowerMath standalone application, along with the newly released plug-ins for Adobe InDesign CS and CS2/CS3. These will run in demo mode until licensing keys have been purchased.
Keyboard shortcuts have been enabled for InDesign/InCopy CS2/CS3. From the Adobe "Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts..." dialog, choose "Other" from the "Product Area" drop-down menu. Available keyboard shortcuts can then be assigned to PowerMath items from the scrolling list of menu items.
This Macintosh version preserves all equations while round-tripping InDesign, InCopy.
You can create new equations fully interactively in InDesign and in InCopy CS2 Macintosh (layout view, story view, or galley view).
Furthermore, when in InCopy in Story or Galley view (CS2 only), you can see a preview of the equation which is represented by Adobe's "Story/Galley view" generic graphic by clicking to the right of the graphic and looking in the PowerMath palette display. You can also interactively edit that equation while in Story view or Galley view.
By switching to InCopy CS2 Layout view, you can actually see the equations in the document as you would in InDesign, and you can interactively edit them as you can in InDesign.
PowerMath for InDesign/InCopy CS Macintosh does now preserve equations while roundtripping there. However equation editing, creation, and in-document display are only available for InCopy in InCopy CS2. Equations will display in the PowerMath palette only, in InCopy CS.
Development for PC versions is ongoing.
The standalone application runs completely independently of any plug-ins or host document programs, and can create and edit complex sets of preferences (the PowerMath supersets), as well as create libraries of equation files as prototypes or for particular use within document platforms (such as InDesign) which support PowerMath plug-ins. PowerMath Ascii files can also be created by the standalone, with independent equation PICT and MathML files soon to be supported.
When the standalone is accessed by a PowerMath plug-in, fully automated in-document support of the above features becomes available, along with production oriented features such as global updates reflecting powerful transformation capabilities floowing preferences editing, vertical alignment points, and transformation within the document of equations to the alternative data formats.
Legacy PowerMath equations and "Supersets" through Mac OS 9 are fully supported--the equations via PowerMath Ascii import, and the Supersets without modification.
Custom Pi fonts for oversized glyphs which were used very extensively
throughout the very large volume of these legacy books and documents are
also currently supported by PowerMathID v5.1 in OS X, including drawing
and accurate derivation of metrics data for any and all of these oversized
glyphs, with no special concerns or workarounds as may still be required
for some related applications migrating to Mac OS X.
NOTE: For OS X, files designated for "System/Preferences" should go to username/library/preferences, and the superset folder should be called simply "PowerMath Supersets".
