IDTextFitter attempts to fit overset or underset text in an InDesign Story into the text frames of that Story, while minimizing visible changes to the text design. Just select a TextFrame or some text, and run IDTextFitter. A second or two later, and you have a perfect fit.
Don’t you have better things to do with your time, instead of making tedious trial-and-error adjustments to your text to get it to fit nicely into the allocated space?
The default settings of IDTextFitter do not change he point size or leading, since that can create mismatched baselines, with adjacent columns of text from two different stories.
Download the IDTextFitter.zip file using the link below, and follow the installation instructions in the enclosed ReadMe file.
