Visual Table Library

Visual Table Library (VTL) is a CEP panel for Adobe InDesign. It is a visual constructor and a local library of table looks — not a replacement for InDesign Table Styles or Cell Styles. Those tools stay as they are. VTL never writes them.

You design how a table should look: Header, Sidebar, Body, and the outer frame. The preview updates as you work. Looks live in named JSON libraries on your computer, not inside the InDesign file. Keep one set per client or title. Each set can store its own Brand colors.

What you get

• Signed ZXP for InDesign 2020–2026 (Windows and macOS)
• Design mode to build looks; Workflow mode to Apply and Clear
• Twelve built-in looks (Technical, Magazine, Newspaper)
• Palettes: Neutral, Warm, Cool, Ink, Night, plus Brand
• Apply paints selected tables, links them, and checks the result
• Update style re-applies a look to every linked table in the document
• Export / Import a library as JSON (import always creates a new set)

Requirements

 Adobe InDesign 2020 (15.0) through InDesign 2026. An open document and a selected frame that contains a table. English UI.
