System requirements: Typefi AutoFit 8.9 system requirements

Typefi AutoFit 8.9

InDesign 2023 server support

Typefi AutoFit 8.9 adds support for InDesign Server 2023 (v18).

New! Smart Guides help make AutoFit relationships easier.

Smart Guides help you create AutoFit relationships by snap-aligning to the anchor point of the target frame. Now, while you define the child anchor, you will see a dashed line that is the same colour as the layer colour from the parent anchor to the mouse pointer. If the mouse pointer intersects with the geometric bounds of another object, then the object is highlighted using the object's layer colour. If the mouse pointer is within the snapping tolerance of an anchor point, the dashed line snaps to the anchor point. You can specify the snapping tolerance by setting the AutoFit Preferences. Smart Guides are on by default. 

See AutoFit Smart Guides in action in this short video.

Improved security

Bq. "TypefiAutoFitFree.pkg" can’t be opened because Apple cannot check it for malicious software. This software needs to be updated. Contact the developer for more information.

Gatekeeper is an Apple technology that performs online checks to verify if an app contains known malware and whether the developer’s signing certificate is revoked.
