Saw this on InDesign Secrets - very cool. I slapped our logo on it and sent it to our sales people to send out as needed:

Very nice Dan. Appreciate it.
Like I posted over at InDesign secrets, that thing is useless as is unless you want you sheet size determined by the cover size. If say I want my tri fold to have a 3 3/4" cover instead of the normal 3 11/16" it makes the sheet size larger, instead of reducing the tuck-in panel. Nice idea tho, and with an extra form field for sheet length, as well as hight, it would be perfect.
Actually it works great, but I see your point. There are two ways of doing it... Alma's way, which modifies the overall length of the piece taking into account all the folds, and NOT modifying the overall size and having off panel sizes. It's really a preference to a Desinger, but could make a serious difference in the Bindery.
Cool. Thanks Dan, it'll come in handy here.
I like this alot except our boss wants a 1/32 inch smaller panel on the roll fold and this one seems to default at 1/16 inch. It would be great to send to designers...
I like it.
I couldn't get it to adjust to the full sheet size, it acts like you need an undercut of a 1/16"
