Is it possible to link content between indesign files separated?

I have a catalog project that I work on every two years. Each year the customer request I take pages 73-79 and renumber 1-7. There is no problem in the document that I made for her. The spreads are split and the pages renumbered.

However, each time, we will change these pages, and I have to copy/paste the content in. I would remove the possibility of error. I don't want to miss an update because I did not select the entire document.

So is it possible to say, link to a section of images and content so that they essentially reflect the other Document A of Document b?

Thanks for any assistance!

Don't know what version of ID that you are using, but if it's enough, new look in the content tool Collector. It gives you a place and link, function that does what you want as possible.

  • Is it possible to link to the .doc files as I would image help to merge the data from the files?

    I'm trying to find a way where I can link to multiple documents in a master document. I know how to put Word/Excel files in InDesign-related, but is there a way I could build a document using data merge? I guess I want a link to every document in my CSV, possibly with a @ column header. Has anyone tried this before with any success?

    I have trouble understanding exactly what it is you want to try and do.

    Regarding the data merge, the answer is no. When a header field which has a "@" before the domain name, InDesign data merge function will import images that are people like .jpg, .tif, .eps .gif .pdf .png .ai; but will not import content such as .docx .doc .rtf or .txt. It is worth noting the help that Adobe (InDesign help |) Data merge) does not list what types of images will import as part of a data merge. Another additional note - if import a PDF or AI is many pages long as part of the merger of data, the merger will take only the first page of the PDF / I, and it is not a way to make the merger import a different page.

  • InDesign CC 2015 hangs when one) place another InDesign file or b) opening a document that already contains the link to another InDesign file.

    Recently upgraded to CC 2015 CS6, have the latest versions of OS X and CC.

    When opening documents CS6 with links to other documents, .indd, after a short time (while updating the links I think) InDesign crashes.

    Have you tried

    (a) open related files and save it again as a document CC

    (b) copying items in a new document

    but when I try to place the document in another document new and empty, crash.

    After a bit of experimentation, I discovered that the problem was a logo in eps format that appeared in the documents. Re-recorded as .ai, fixed to a problem.

    You could get someone to write a script that would open all and pack them to another drive. Then, just wipe old.

  • How a button can work between 2 indesign files

    I am creating a catalog of products and each section has been created in an indesign file, separated with a separate content page that includes the buttons to link to each of the indesign files. When these are added as items to the folio of the function of the buttons do not work. There are buttons in each indesign file that works when then action is to go to another page in the same file, but try the GET them to post a link to other files turns out to be problematic. Does anyone know how this can be achieved.

    For the record, two additional notes about the navto: link...

    • To access a particular page, use navto:ArticleName #1
    • The number following the ' # ' indicates the page number. HOWEVER, the page numbering starts at zero. for example to link to page 3 of an article, you would use #2
  • Can you trace how Indesign files to a specifik image link?

    I have an image database, a link about several Indesign files.

    I'm not the original author of the Indesign, neither the image database files, so I have no overview of the Indesign files links how to each image.

    And now, I have an image I want to make a change - but I'm afraid to do it, when I do not know in which Indesign files, the image is used.

    So my question is - is there a way to track the links established on a specific image in any Adobe program?

    Maybe the flow might do the trick for you...?

  • Link InDesign files in an InDesign Master file?

    I found that I can link several files InDesign in a single InDesign Master document using the "Place" command which allows me or others make changes in each separate and then InDesign file update the links in the document master InDesign through the links Panel. I wonder what others think to do this and what advantages or disadvantages anyone experienced using this layout technique. For example, how are the links within the files of individual work if say one of them is broken, how will this affect the file in the Master. Or what happens when the Master InDesign packed for output file? How this handful of collecting all the links individual files or all content and images should be incorporated into each individual to avoid working file and linking issues in the Master Document. Since it is possible to link the InDesign Documents in a Master InDesign file, this is something that should be done?

    I have a project that requires the design of variable signs that need to be updated, and then create a link to a Master InDesign document. For the first round, I used the traditional way of building the panels in Photoshop and placing them in the InDesign document, that works pretty well and I am able to recreate a link to them. Howerer, I wonder if multiple files using InDesign will work out because I can then use paragraph, character and Styles of object as well as the other tool in InDesign to maintain consistent all the. Please let me know your opinion on this.

    Thank you for your help.

    I put a compressed file to the printer if I have an option at all. The high resolution PDF on export correctly, has all the necessary information, and none of th e hassles with fonts or the missing links that can occur when you work with native files.

    Hong,

    For the scenario you describe, you need to add code to the loop on the first request and then link and run the second query for each result. Similar Java code would be necessary for adapter Jena variables lie as well.

  • Is it possible to pdf content that spreads and have the page number on the two-page spread?

    Is it possible to PDF content chemically and have page numbers on the two pages of the spread? If for example spread 1 would be page 1 and 2 but would be only considered as page 1. Is is possible to change it to be page 1 and 2 and still a gap?

    The way to do this is to display the pdf as unique pages and then open Acrobat to change the initial display of the document settings. (There are in the file properties). Make the change, close and save the document, and then when reopen you it, you will see as spreads, but the search for the page will follow your InDesign page numbers.

  • How to create link for reference to the paragraphs or text anchor to another indesign file?

    Hello

    I'm new in indesign scripting.

    I want to create the reference, which is the link to the paragraphs (or text anchor) another indesign file (new.indd).

    My first problem is how to get all the paragraphs or anchor text of the file new.indd

    I have a TextFrame whose content is Adobe Indesign.

    I want to apply an Adobe Indesign link reference to the paragraphs with the Destination Documents: new.indd.

    How it's done by script?

    I have try to use this:

    indesign #target

    myDocument var = app.documents.add ();

    var myTextFrame = myDocument.pages.item (0).textFrames.add ();

    myTextFrame.geometricBounds is ['10', 15 ' p', '30', '35p'];.

    myTextFrame.contents = "Adobe Indesign";

    var text = myTextFrame.texts.firstItem ();

    var hyperlinkURLDestination = myDocument.hyperlinkURLDestinations.add ("C/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/new.indd");

    var DestinationDoc = hyperlinkURLDestination.parent ();

    var xRefForm = myDocument.crossReferenceFormats.item ("Page number");

    source var = myDocument.crossReferenceSources.add (text, xRefForm);

    var myLink = myDocument.hyperlinks.add (source, hyperlinkURLDestination);

    When I run this script it gives error "the destination is not valid. You can create Cross - reference to anchor text or destination of the paragraph.

    How to get all the Paragrapgs or text the file new.indd anchor and create cross-references using the this.

    Thank you.

    You can create cross-references to anchor points and paragraphs. If you need create an anchor text in new.indd, then use as the target of the cross reference:

    var anchor = app.documents.item ('new.indd').hyperlinkTextDestinations.item ('myAnchor');

    source var = app.activeDocument.crossReferenceSources.add (text, xRefForm);

    app.activeDocument.hyperlinks.add (source, anchor);

  • How place of content between the header and tabs?

    I have the header part which must be constant through the portal but below that I have 3 links
    as I AM an employee, employer, broker...

    which showed that in the homepage above the tabs...
    How can I do this...

    How place of content between the header and tabs...: () kindly help...

    Hey djo
    Try these approaches and see if it works.

    1. in the header Section, page footer you shell header and add a Portlet header. This JSP file associated header Portlet will be all static content in the upper part. In the lower part, add these 3 links say right. Show these links only based on certain properties of the query as isHome. Now for the main book House and another page associate a BackingFile. In this backup file in the lifecycle methods preRender or handlePostBack, get BookManager instance and all pages and see which page is active. For this page, see its page definition label which will be always unique. IF the page def label is like home_page_def (it is the wording of the page def you give to the homepage), then set the value of the key in the request as isHome = true property. The only doubt is after book backingfile is triggered, the header needs to be reloaded, because only then can he pick up the attributes of the request.

    2. create a new portlet as HomePageLinks portlet. Its title property is not Visible and other properties of the UI as NoBorder, etc. NoTheme. The associated JSP will be the 3 links you mentioned fixed right. You can use css styles to make it right. Now dropping this portlet in the header Shell box. You have already HeaderPortlet in the upper part, lower than that, you will have this portlet HomePageLinks. Now associate a backup file for this Portlet show, only if the current active page of books is the home page comparing the label def etc. as mentioned above.

    In both scenarios, only concern is when clicked on different Pages, the entire portal is to be made directly from the header at the top. Only then the backup file will be set the key and the portlet HomePageLinks can show or hide as a result.

    Try to raise an event when the user clicks on the homepage. This port listening for that event can be HomePageLinks Portlet. I guess the event mechanism should work regardless of where the portlet is placed. In the event listner, see if you can show/hide this portlet.

    The only challenge is reloaded must section header whenever you click on a tab.

    Start putting a few files of backup and System.out.printlns to see if the header section gets recharged on, click on the tabs.

    These are just my thoughts on the top of my head. Other users of the forum may have better alternatives or a different version of the above approaches.

    Thank you
