In•Fact PRO
In•Fact PRO is a script that allows you to calculate invoices and quotes made in an InDesign table.
For your invoice or quote, you can take into account:
- The price of each product
- The quantity
- Deduct a discount, in your country's currency or in %, on a product or the quantity of products
- Differentiate the tax for each product*
- Calculate subtotals
- Calculate the total without taxes
- Calculate the tax on the whole with a single rate*
- Calculate a global discount in your country's currency or in %, on a product or the quantity of products
- And finally, calculate the total price with tax (price due)
- And of course format the results and even the data entered for the calculation: rounding, format, adding the currency...
(*one or the other but not both!)
You can also save your preferences for future quotes, and even recalculate one or all of your quotes (having already been calculated and according to the last calculation) in a single click even after closing and reopening your file..

It’s a basic script, but it does the job. Thank you!
Definitely worth the small price !
My suggestions:
– It would be wonderful if in a future version you could select cells separately. Now you can only make calculations within either a line, either a column or either the whole table. But the formatting of my invoices makes this a little hard. It would also be great if there was an automated way to duplicate a cell to another cell. Or even better, choose a cell somewhere else (like not in line with the numbers you would like to add together. Ideally even in another table…) where the result of the calculation would be displayed.
– It would be great if you could save multiple preferences in a list. Now you can only save one type of calculation and formatting altogether.
PRO TIP: there’s a simple workaround for the single calculations preferences “preset”. Just duplicate the script in the scripts folder for the different calculations you would like to have. Name them according to the desired calculation; for example “VAT Calculation”. That way you can have multiple scripts in the script panel, which all can be saved with their unique preferences and calculations. Make sure you tick the box “Load prefences at launch”, just to skip one more step. And voila, there you have multiple calculation presets.

Thank you Thomas for this long comment.
Know that multiple preferences are on the program for the next version 😉
For the rest… I don’t know yet, but thanks for those suggestions.

You pull that of my new French friend, you’ll be an InDesign god and every Organization with their endless forms, quotes and invoices would be lining up. I’ll do a “how to” for you on You Tube, I’m famous for that here at the College. I teach InDesign. Keep me in the loop, if you would.
