Benefits for upgrading to CS5 for InCopy and InDesign workflow?

We have been using InDesign/InCopy CS4 for more than a year now. I have CS5 for my Mac but the InCopy users are all on PC's and we have not yet purchased the upgrades for them. Needless to say I am still using CS4 with CS5 waiting in the wings.
What would be the benefits of upgrading all the In/Copy users to CS5? I need to justify the purchases.
Thanks you,
Holly

Hi Brian, CS5 is not cross-platform software so you can't run on both platforms at once - you have to choose one or the other...
It is fairly straightforward though to switch or "crossgrade" from Windows to Mac.
See this other thread for more information on use of the older version when upgrading:

Package for InCopy and Email

I am having trouble with "Package for InCopy and Email" in CS6 on a Mac 10.6.8. My default email is Outlook 2011. I get a blank message window when I try use this option. I end up manually creating the assignment and emailing it. But I would prefer for the email window to open with the package automatically attached. It started happening when I upgraded to CS5.5 and also upgraded from Entourage to Outlook email app. Any thoughts to resolve this issue?

Adobe didn’t say anything, I did. And I didn’t say it was Microsoft, I said it sounded like an issue with the email program.
Where does that leave you? Looking for the cause.
Does any other program cause this? Do you have Acrobat installed? Try to attach a PDF to an email and see if it works.

Information about Integration WebDynpro for ABAP and Business-Workflow

Hi Experts,
I'm looking for information about
Integration WebDynpro for ABAP and Business-Workflow
Link, documents and books are welcome!
Thanks
mishak

If you have worked on workflows earlier the procedure is very simple. You just need to enter certain parameter values of your application in SWFVISU for the respective task and re-register your system in UWL administration. Thats it! your webdynpro and workflows are integrated. For details on the parameters check the following link,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/19/bff5c18ba44da4a4ca68cf572dabda/frameset.htm
There are also a couple of blogs on "launching webdynpro from UWL" (Procedure for both Java and webdynpro is almost similar). You can also check these for more details.
Thanks,

Arial Narrow for Illustrator and inDesign

How do I get Arial Narrow installed for Illustrator and inDesign? It's loaded as a Windows 7 True Type font in my computer.

Sounds like a different version of Arial was used on these previous documents. Can you create a new document with the Arial Narrow you have installed, save it, close Illy or ID, then reopen the document without the warning?
If not, your copy of Arial Narrow could be corrupt despite Adobe products being finnicky about such things.

Can i upgrade from CS5.5 design and web premiun to CS6 and still keep CS5.5 Dreamweaver

I want to upgrade from CS5.5 Design and web premium to CS6 standard. There are several programs like Dreamweaver that are not in CS6 standard. If i upgrade will i be able to keep the CS5.5 versions of programs that are not in the upgrade?

Yes, you can upgrade S&T editions by buying a commercial upgrade. Just make sure to pick the correct previous version during check-out or you'll get a serial number snafu...

How much is the price of upgrading from CS5.5 Design and Web Premium to CS6 Design and Web Premium?

How much is the price of upgrading from CS5.5 Design and Web Premium to CS6 Design and Web Premium?
And why is this price not on the Web site?
And when will this price be added to the Web site? It's long overdue.

Sorry. After downloading required Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium files and attempting to install, the error message "
The file archive part of Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium is missing. You need all parts in the same folder in order to extract Adobe CS6 Design and Web Premium. Please download all parts" appears. Using Window 8. This happens on the Adobe Design and Web Premium CS6 installer file.

InCopy and InDesign files viewing differently

I am currently running a project to change a magazine publisher from a Quark platform to an InDesign and InCopy workflow. One problem that keeps occuring is that when an editor manually alters the paragraph style to make the copy fit in InCopy, (ie, altering the tracking and/or leading), this change does not show when the same file is opened in InDesign.
For example, a heading that an editor has reduced tracking -5% to make fit into one line in the InCopy file, will still look like two lines when the InDesign file is opened. This is particularly dangerous for pages of text, as we keep losing lines from the bottom of the page and this can be easy to miss during output for press.
I've checked, and all staff are following workflow, and updating assignments - so it's not human error (as far as I can see).
Is this happening to anyone else? And is there a fix for it? The only one I can think of is to add more paragraph styles with different trackings etc, but this is not ideal and does not cover all the variables.
We are using CS4, and the Snow Leopard platform – Please help!

As an update to this, I have found what I believe is the cause, and, hopefully a fix, to this problem.
The cause seems to be that in the original Quark template, the font has a horizontal scale setting of 95%. When the template is converted to InDesign, everything looks fine. However, the font doesn't seem to be recognised as a true font, and this has resulted in the word and character spacing looking completely different between InCopy and InDesign. This has been causing problems such as;
1. Headings showing in one line in InCopy but flowing onto two lines in the InDesign file
2. Body text showing completely different spacing throughout - causing uneven window and orphans and resulting in paragraphs being in different places in the InDesign and the InCopy files. This has made it impossible for the editors to fit copy on page.
Note that any written changes by the editor (ie, change to the words) has worked fine.
The fix seems to be to go back to the original template in Quark, and make sure all the font/text settings in the paragraph and character styles are set at 100%. Then make the template conversion again. I have run some testing this afternoon, and everything seems to be running ok now - touch wood!
Thought I'd send an update anyway in case anyone has the same problem.

CS5 Extension Builder and Indesign Server ?

Hello,
Is it possible to write an extension with CS5 Extension Builder for Indesign Server? It works fine with Indesign Desktop for me, but I'm ot sure for the Server version. Spend time to search on the web, without results.Just found this note in "indesign_cs5_server_scripting_guide.pdf" : You can use the ExtendScript Toolkit to create JavaScript scripts explicitly for InDesign Server, or you can use the Creative Suite Extension Builder (CS Extension Builder) to develop CS extensions in ActionScript. CS extensions are Flash-based (SWF) and can potentially work in a variety of Creative Suite applications.
Many thanks in advance,
David

Hello,
Thanks a lot for the answer. This is not good news for us, but again, thanks for the answer.
In few words, we are a leading French software editor (www.perigee.fr). Our software is a database that works with Indesign (using a C++ plugin), and manage pictures, text blocs, tables from PIM & DAM mgt.
We are working on a brand new software suite that will be based on both Indesign and Indesign Server. We intend to develop the Indesign UI in ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder.
On the model side, we need something that works as well on both platforms. We tested several solutions (C++, Javascript) so far but we came to the conclusion that it would be ideal to use ActionScript.
If there is no solution for AS and Indesign Server, we'll have to mix four programming languages in our solution (Java, C++, ActionScript and some JavaScript). Alternatively we could delay part of our project depending on the availability of AS on Indesign Server.
We really like ActionScript and CS5 Extension Builder, and hopefully a solution to stay on our preferred languages: ActionScript and Java.
We also explored the full Java/Corba option but it is not supported on the non-server side. And, again, we believe that ActionScript is the best solution.
I hope our problem is clearer now.
Do you see anything we may have missed?
Thanks in advance for your answer!
David

What are the ideal specs for professional graphic designer using CS5 illustrator, photoshop and indesign?g

What are the ideal Mac Pro specs for a professional graphic designer using CS5 Premium- using mostly InDesign, Illustrator and PhotoShop?

24GB RAM
SSD for boot drive
GHz, but not necessarily dual. Apple doesn't sell dual 3.33s.
A single 3.33 6-core should do fine and "sweet spot" (when looking, there is "4-core" build to order..,. and like everything else on the Store, why in heavens they didn't be more accurate and clear and say "single socket" and then have "dual processor configurations" 0 I guess the writers don't understand or know workstations or jargon? I say that 'cause some have trouble even finding the 6-core 3.33 choice ($1200 over stock 2.8 4-core).
W3680 though can be found on Buy.com for $620 (was $589 at earlier date) and people are known to then sell the stock cpu $300 making it even more attractive and save $600-900 that way rather easily. Or not.
But yes, I would send you to MPG.com site as well and read through what is on there.

Performance, minimum bandwidth, thumbnail previews for PDF and InDesign Files with web content viewer

Hi,
We are considering using DPS with a web content viewer for large PDFs and/or InDesign files. The client using a web viewer might have very limited bandwidth (some as low as 256Kbps). We ask:
1 - How well does the web viewer perform with very large PDFs and InDesign files (500 MB+) with limited bandwidth? Does the file stream in chunks and the PDF shows as soon as the first page or two are available, with the rest loading in the background, or does the entire file come down in one part and then shown?
2 - Can PDF and InDesign files support thumbnail previews? For example, one image per PDF page and user can scroll forward and back.
Your thoughts and comments are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-Stephen

Hi Stephen,
The way the web viewer works is that it converts the PDF/InDesign files to PNGs along with additional HTML assets. Assets are downloaded as they’re ready for a given page (e.g. first, page 1 is filled with its assets as they become available, then page 2, etc), so a reader wouldn’t need to wait for the entire article to load. The next few pages are also loaded in the background, so the reader wouldn’t be likely to notice lag as they flipped through pages to the next page after reading the current one. So the lag will depend on the size of an individual page.
For your question around thumbnails, the web viewer does not load a preview image so the reader would need to wait for the assets I described above to load.
Hope this helps...
Brian

Shortcuts for Illustrator and InDesign

I have just installed CS6 but there are no shortcut keys for both Illustrator and InDesign. How to solve the problem?

Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts
If you had actions with keyboard shortcuts you need to export them from the old version and import them in 6 using your actions pallette.

Version control with concurrent InCopy and InDesign packages

Hi there,
If Editor A uses the "Forward for InCopy" option to create and send an InCopy package (.incp) to Editor B, and then erroneously uses the "Return for InDesign" function to create an InDesign package (.indp) before the Editor B has returned the new version of the package, can the superflous .indp file (that will never be used by anyone) be safely deleted?
The goal is to receive a new .incp file from Editor B and to treat it as the current version of the assignment, even though a .indp was accidentally created in the interim. Can we simply delete the .indp file or are there other complications that we need to consider?
Thanks.
--Stephen

Excellent, thank you! I just wanted to be certain.

Use and possibilities of inCopy and inDesign CC in interactive DPS layers

Hi,
We like to give our editors access via inCopy in our inDesign DPS files.
As I understand; text, like images is displayed in the Links panel.
Is it already possible to have inCopy CC assigned text in the interactive DPS layers?
All help welcome!

I was able to use InCopy with a text frame that was incorporated into a scrolling frame overlay, but it seemed a bit "wonky" with formatting. (Formatting was lost between InCopy edit and InDesign.) My guess is that it should work in an MSO as well, but I didn't have time to test that theory.
You can download a 30-trial of InCopy, if you want to run your own tests.

Need help with Italics for ePub and InDesign CS5

Could someone help a me out. I just can not find the answer to this and I know it should be simple, I am just missing it.
I am creating an ePub from CS5 InDesign. All I want to do is have the italics that are shown in the text box in InDesign, show up in the epub file.
I would prefer not to say what I have done (I think I have tried everything, but obviously I did them all wrong, so no point listing them) and I am hoping someone can do a simple, step by step guide to how to have italics show up in the ePub file.
Sorry if this question is beneath everyone, this is really annoying that I can not figure this out on my own.

Yup, done this.
In InDesign, the text is Italic. It has the Character Style Italic associated with it.
But when I export to ePub, it is not italic.
Here is the HTML from the xhtml file for a single line of what is supposed to be italic text,
<p class="normal normal-override-2" xml:lang='en-us'><span class="italic italic-override">Words that should be Italic.</span></p>
The above line does not show up as italic in any of the 3 readers I am using to test with.
Now, in the css sheet, the span.italic-override does not have anything associated to font-style. If I manually add the font-style italic, then re-pack everything, it works.
It just seems to me a bit absurd to have to export the epub, unpack it, open it in dreamweaver, add the font-style, and repack it just to have something as simple as italic work.
So, I am missing something, I get that... I just can't figure out what!

Trying to upgrade from CS5 to CC and it's saying my serial is 'invalid'

I purchased the Adobe CS5 creative suite a few years ago and I want to upgrade to CC. On your site it says I can get a discount to upgrade since I purchased an existing version of your product. When I enter my serial to upgrade to CC it says my serial is invalid. Do i have to pay full price for CC even though I already purchased CS5? Please help.

Ashleyl55976509 I would recommend that you transfer your Creative Suite 5 license to the gmail address you are using to sign up for Creative Cloud. You can find additional details at Transfer an Adobe product license.
