Hi, Gnanasekaran!

MathTool is good but you could import all MathML content to Adobe Indesign with a simple plugin. It outputs equations to SVG for a HQ print. MathML Kit - InDesign Math Formula Support | SCAND.

In case you don't need a built-in editor it supports automated scripts. So if you have tons of equation or need to work with them on a daily basis it looks like the best chocie.

    BTW a new version would definitely support Adobe CS 2019. I've heard it would be released in a few days.

    If your MathType expressions are in a Word Document, you can automatically convert them into eps files. When you import your Word file into inDesign, you can use a script to import the eps files.

    I do not know of a way to change inMath equations into MathType equations.

    There is no reason to believe it's even possible. Apart from MathML, there seems to be no common 'math notation' format. EPS is not a math notation; it likely only describes where all characters go, in which font, style, and size.

    Any 'conversion', if possible, would need access to the equation data in the image file data itself. That can only be done in InDesign by cheating: getting the file name from a placed image, then reading the file into memory using Javascript.

    (It is of course possible that InMath exposes the "contents" of an equation to the scripting model. You could ask the plugin programmers.)

    Hi,

    my company (movemen.com) developed InMath and we're about to release math tools to import/export MathML from InDesign and to import MathType equations.

    Best regards,

    Hi Ferdinand,

    (Nice to see you posting here!)

    Is this going to integrate with InMath, or is this a separate product?
