Packaging of an Indesign document

Hi guys,.

I have discussed the idea of a single source with InDesign and wonder what happens when you compress an InDesign file.

I would like to create a document with a few paragraphs that would be used in a number of documents, and then bind the document to several other documents.

If I do that and wanted to change this document, what would happen if I modify the packaged InDesign?

He would change for each document to which it is connected? Or he would only change the compressed file that I am trying to change?

Hope it makes sense

The InCopy workflow would make more sense if your documents outside InDesign, initially (like Word documents).

If you have InDesign files, content tools Collector and place content would be more logical.

  • How to convert epub to an Indesign document?

    I lost the paper that I used to make the epub and I'm trying to recover what I can is there a way to convert to an Indesign document or at least get back photos and other items that I used to do.

    There is no quick way back to ID, but a epub is just a specially packaged Web site. Make a copy of the epub and change the extension from epub to zip and then unzip the document.  You now have access to text and links into HTML formatting in the epub.

  • How is - what embed you fonts in an InDesign Document?

    How is - what embed you fonts in an InDesign document? or can only embed you fonts when exporting to PDF? I know how integrate you links... there at - it something similar for fonts?

    Thank you

    To answer your question directly, you cannot directly embed the fonts used in an InDesign document in this document with the following exception. If you place a PDF or EPS file with fonts embedded in an InDesign document, these fonts are incorporated; you don't need to have any other copy of these fonts available to view, print or export to PDF.

    As noted by another responder, packing an InDesign document that can constitute a mobile with the document policy, but as the separate files in the package (of course, limited to your font license rights).

  • Illustration, linked to the InDesign document

    I created a color illustration in Illustrator and saved as .ai file.  I'm working on a black and white manual that I created in InDesign.

    When I placed the illustration in my InDesign document, it looks blurry.  When I export my InDesign document as a .pdf file seems correct. When I print the pages with the illustration, it seems correct to my PDF document.

    Question - why the illustration linked in my InDesign air document blurred?

    Thank you

  • How can I create a slide show with keys working on an interactive InDesign document?

    I am trying to create a slideshow of images with keys working on an Interactive InDesign document and followed the steps of "InDesign CC Classroom in a Book", but when I saw the document as they do not seem to work, I had the idea where I went wrong, can anyone help?

    Why do you have it convert again? It is no more a button. And the action the button must be on the release or press.

    And to be more specific. Interactive document doesn't mean anything. What's your game to end here? EPUB? Publish online?

  • Dear InDesign professionals, I have a problem with an InDesign Document.

    Dear professional inDesign,

    I have a problem with an InDesign Document. While opening, ID crashes down. I tried all the options in your HelpCenter, tried to open it in several applications, several Mac and PC. No luck. Is it possible to open it?

    This document is quite important vor an architecture-projekt.

    Thank you very much!!!

    Greetings,

    I'm afraid that I'm not having luck-getting an error code 5 even after running the recovery tools, that I have. I open in a text editor and he was able to read some version information, or at least what resembles the version information, and it seems that it might have been converted from CS to CS2 to CS3, but when generating 443, which was the first production or the latest beta version (do not remember at this point) , but that doesn't help much.

    At this point the only suggestion that I have left is the Markzware recovery service company paid: Bad InDesign or Quark File Recovery submission form

  • I put 240 photos in an InDesign document using mini bridge.  Is there a way to hide the photos I used after I have put in my document?

    I put 240 photos in an InDesign document using mini bridge.  Is there a way to hide the photos I used after I have put in my document?

    I think Willi, and I even read your question differently. I thought you wanted to hide the images in Mini Bridge once they have been placed in InDesign so that you could keep track of those who you have (if you put twice the same image). If you want to hide in InDesign (as Willi read the question), his suggestion is very good. Another alternative is to use the shortcut to hide (command 3 on Mac OS), after putting the images, but before you click next to deselect them.

    I do not use Mini Bridge, so I can't help you there. If you want to use the full version of the bridge, you can use a Move command to move the selected items to another folder (temp), where they will not appear in your current folder. You can move after that that they all were placed. A bit of a hack, but it could work.

  • I created a 22 page Indesign document and I am wanting to place it in muse as a book. How can I do this

    I created a 22 page Indesign document and I am wanting to place it in muse as a book. How can I do to do that.

    Its a simple 22-page document. Back to Earth with a yellow area single text on each page, such as a previous/next button on the bottom. I'm hoping to put it in muse on one page, instead of having to do an absurdly long page in muse. I want the next/previous buttons to work as well.

    Inside of InDesign, I have already selected "Digital Publishing", but am stuck now on what to do.

    I use Creative Cloud 2015 for Muse and InDesign.

    Any help will be appreciated. Once the Adobe online chat is open again, I will discuss with them, but by then, I expect to get help on the forum.

    You can try to use the composition for this where containers will include content and the triggers can include thumbnail images.

    Thank you

    This presupposes to exclude grouped and docked:

  • Display thumbnails of "spreads" instead of Pages of InDesign Documents

    Hello

    I am looking to have produced miniatures

    Thumbnails embedded in the Indesign documents are integrated in the form of individual pages, the amount of included pages can be set on a document level.

    Someone asked on the forum script ID if it would be possible to view thumbnails bridge "spreads" instead of pages.

    To this one might have IDS to include thumbnails of the spreads, BUT it would be really very difficult and involves a difficult plugin c ++ that would take a lot of time because the api does not include the necessary methods.

    The other option would be bridge script to display thumbnails of page integrated side by side instead of one at a time.

    A problem is that the bridge would detect if thumbnails are coming from the same thread.  Perhaps, which could be achieved by incorporating some metadata in the document of identity.

    I rigged this screenshot with fireworks by mistake I did on a pdf instead of an ID of a doc, but the idea is the same.

    Did someone knows if it is doable?

    I doubt it very much. But if you can extract the pages as jpg you should be able to stack them.
