Printing Address Labels from Address Book on OS X
If you have ever wanted to print address labels from Mac OS X's Address Book (think Christmas cards), you probably found that Apple doesn't yet provide a way to do it from within Address Book itself.
Fortunately, Eric Hanson at Incarna LLC wrote a great little application called iDress that makes printing address labels from Address Book entries a breeze.
The free Adobe Acrobat Reader is required for the software to work correctly. Be sure to follow the simple setup instructions to get your labels to line up (most important, be sure to uncheck the automatic scaling option built into Acrobat Reader's print options). The setup instructions are included with the software download as a PDF file.
iDress creates a PDF file from your Address Book entries and sends it to your printer. The software does all the hard work for you-- it comes with envelope templates, Avery templates, and Dymo label printer templates, among others. When you update your Address Book groups, iDress updates your labels automatically.
The software is only $15.00 and can be used in Demo mode for evaluation. (it adds a watermark to your labels in Demo mode).
Be sure to check out the comments at Version Tracker for other user's feedback, but I give iDress a 5 out of 5. 11:54:11 AM Google It!
