Teacup Software Announces Sale of Table and Cell Styles Technology to Adobe

PRESS RELEASE

New York–(ar-edelman.com)–April 5, 2007– Teacup Software, Inc., a lead­ing provider of plu­g­ins for Adobe® InDesign® CS and InDesign CS2, today announced the sale of their TableStyles and CellStyles plug-ins to Adobe Systems Incorporated. With this tech­nol­o­gy acqui­si­tion, Adobe has deliv­ered sig­nif­i­cant­ly enhanced sup­port for table and cell styles in Adobe InDesign CS3, the lat­est ver­sion of their award win­ning pro­fes­sion­al page lay­out software.

“This is excit­ing news for Teacup Software,” says Teacup’s pres­i­dent and founder, Lawrence Horwitz. “Teacup has always tried to make its plug-ins feel as much like native InDesign fea­tures as pos­si­ble, and the fact that Adobe thought our tech­nol­o­gy was worth acquir­ing and offer­ing as part of Adobe InDesign CS3 val­i­dates our approach and speaks well of the qual­i­ty of our devel­op­ment efforts”.

Building on the tech­nol­o­gy pro­vid­ed by Teacup Software, Adobe makes it pos­si­ble for design­ers, pro­duc­tion pro­fes­sion­als and print ser­vice providers to use table and cell styles direct­ly with­in InDesign CS3 for quick and con­sis­tent for­mat­ting of com­plete tables or indi­vid­ual table cells. Instead of for­mat­ting tables man­u­al­ly, users can cre­ate a table or cell style and apply it to any table, includ­ing a spread­sheet from Microsoft Excel or a table import­ed from Word, for instant for­mat­ting. Finer con­trol over table design through regional-based styling of a table’s head­er, foot­er and body allows for more nuanced and sophis­ti­cat­ed table formatting.

“Teacup Software is a long-standing InDesign part­ner with a sol­id track record of cre­at­ing plug-ins that work seam­less­ly with Adobe InDesign,” said Will Eisley, Director, Product Management, Creative Suites at Adobe Systems. “Through this tech­nol­o­gy acqui­si­tion, we are now able to offer InDesign CS3 cus­tomers a native solu­tion with enhanced sup­port for tables and cell styles.”

Availability for InDesign CS and InDesign CS2

Teacup will con­tin­ue to sell TableStyles and CellStyles Pro and Standard for Adobe InDesign CS and CS2, Macintosh and Windows, at reduced prices. The TableStyles and CellStyles Pro ver­sion is now avail­able for $99 and the Standard ver­sion is now avail­able for $49.
