Illustrator utility plug-in

Although Adobe's Illustrator has strong vector authoring capabilities, there are some drawbacks, such as not supporting multi-page features, no style generators, and 3D molding tools. Fortunately, Illustrator also has some very useful plugins. Let's take a look at some of the top Illustrator plug-ins!

HOTDOORMULTIPAGE

With the power of HotDoorMultipage, Illustrator can be transformed into professional DTP and layout software.

Sometimes the simplest plug-in product is proved to be the best package. The Multipage feature provided by the HotDoor vector plug-in is a good example. The only thing that made existing Illustrator users frustrated is that in Illustrator, you cannot directly create and export multi-page documents. Adobe did not make any improvements. We speculated that it may be because Adobe does not want Illustrator and Indesign software users to lack the multi-page feature is a very depressing thing. Fortunately, HotDoor provides us with this plug-in The product helps you to achieve this function.

In the evaluation, we found that HotDoor Multipage is not complicated, it consists of a very small floating panel, you can use it to set multi-page features. It should be pointed out that HotDoor's Multipage does not really implement the multi-page feature (which requires the code to be fully integrated into the Illustrator code), but instead, HotDoor's Multipage uses layer technology to implement multi-page document features.

It sounds like you can do this manually as well. Yes, to a certain extent, it can be achieved manually. But in terms of flexibility and ease of use, Multipage seems to be better. You can do this by defining a left main page and a right main page in the Multipage's Options dialog box just like in the DTP software. What's more, when you edit another page, Multipage will automatically lock the elements on the background page to ensure the integrity of the page elements and also ensure the security of the page operations. Similarly, in Multipage, it is convenient to define margins in the dialog for working.

Of course, the most important feature of Multipage is that it can be exported directly from Illustrator as a multi-page document in PDF format. You can easily implement this feature by selecting the Multi-pagePDF option in the export dialog. In fact, this feature provides Illustrator itself with powerful page layout capabilities. With HotDoorMultipage, you can easily design and layout multi-page documents in Illustrator.

Although this doesn't make public users feel excited about it, it is undeniable that HotDoor's Multipage plug-in is indeed very good.
