How to correctly update .indd files with incopy through adobe cc

Hello,
We have a group of users in our company that only have incopy. This is done both for a control (no one changes layouts by accident) and for cost savings of not haveing the full suite for every user.
With this environment we have found that...
After any change to text via incopy, a person with adobe InDesign will need to open the file and update links so the .indd file will reflect the text changes.
This will need to happen after proofing or any other editorial changes along the way. This adds many steps to our workflow.
Ex:
Alyssa is editing a sustainability article with incopy (no indesign). She makes her edits and save the contents (copy fits, remove a punctuation etc). However, when viewing the .indd file in adobe CC, her changes are not reflected.
Bill (indesign user) had to open the file with InDesign, click update links (this is a popup box upon opening) and then save the file again, before the file would reflect the text changes.
Does anyone know of a way to get around this? It would be great if incopy could push the text changes to the .indd file without a seperate step.
Thank you,
Andy

I'm a little confused. Are the InCopy users using InCopy to edit standalone files (they're opening ICML files)? Or are they opening up the INDD file (the layout) in order to edit the stories context of the design.
If the latter, then there's no need for the InCopy user to wait for an InDesign user to do something. As they make their edits in InCopy, the layout view in InCopy gives them a pixel-accurate preview of how their changes will appear in the final layout. If other InCopy users are editing different stories in the same publication (layout), any user can update to view their colleague's edits on a story-by-story basis, or all at once.
And when an InCopy user sits down to work and opens a layout from the server, InCopy automatically makes sure that they are seeing the current versions of all stories in the layout ... they don't get prompted to update the stories, it happens by default. Even if the InDesign user hasn't touched the file or updated the stories.
FWIW, most of my InCopy/InDesign clients use this layout method.

  • How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

    Hi
    i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
    How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
    This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
    Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
    Note        The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
    Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    The error i am getting while importing this file:
    Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    Assistance appreciated.

    It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
    It should be as follows
    {Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
    so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
    10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60

  • How can I associat ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1

    How can I associate ".swf" files with flashlite 2.1? When I
    install flash lite 2.0,it can do ---- click .swf files system can
    autoly use flashlite to play.But now I install flashlite 2.1,it
    lost this ability return as "unknow files formate".
    Now,how can I reassociate ".swf" with flashlite 2.1?
    first: I must use flashlite 2.1.
    second:I must click .swf file directly.
    I know another way to open :open the player and then find the
    .swf,and open it. But ,unfortunately,I can not use this way to
    open.Now I will be looking for another way.

    unfortunately, the 2.1 developer edition you have installed
    has not overwritten the original version integrated into the
    symbian OS by the manufacturer. This means that the only way to
    open the 2.1 files is to open the 2.1 player from your apps menuu,
    and click on the swf file. You will only get direct access if the
    updated player is in a firmware update for you handset.

  • How to repear a corrupt file with Numbers

    How to open a "corrupt" file with Numbers.
    With excel it is possible to open such a file with the following error message :
    "The file you are trying to open, 'filename.xls', is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"
    Clicking YES, the file is opening correctly with XLS.
    How to do the same with Numbers?
    When i try to open the same file with numbers i have no "error message" but the information contained in the file is not readable.
    Many thanks for your help

    Yeah that's true to an extant; microsoft did a good job fixing that but unfortunately allowed it to be re-introduced in 2006 with windows vista where they allowed file naming to receive destructive values (wasn't very fond of this);
    in previous versions of windows such values once entered would be followed by an error message telling you those values couldn't be used
    I wasn't aware it would pop its ugly head back up into windows 7 but I see otherwise as in the case of mine
    (I forgot to mention the period preceded a parenthesis which in turn can be destructive to the file's original format)
    Anyway photoshop wont open the file after changing it to .psd leaving an error message stating....
    'Could not complete your request because the file is not compatible with this version of photoshop'

  • Opening .indd files in InCopy

    Does anyone know how to open .indd files in InCopy? When I try to do this I can see the Layout View but not the Galley View or Story View, and I can't make any changes to the document.

    The stories were not exported out from InDesign for InCopy. There are a number of methods, but the Edit>InCopy>Export>All Stories is one of the easiest. Be sure to export the stories into their own folder next to the actual InDesign file.

  • How to associate an uploaded file with form data

    I have a "ticketing" app which stores a ticket no. as well as allows users to upload multiple files per ticket. The problem I am having is how to associate an uploaded file with a particular ticket no. As you can guess this becomes complicated when the same user can potentially update multiple tickets using the same file names. I am having difficulty trying to understand how to associate a ticket no with one or more uploaded files. I do have a custom table which I update with the attachments but I am unsure how to, or when to, update the ticket information on this custom table. I only want to retrieve attachments for a given ticket, not all attachments uploaded by a user.Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi,
    My question is bit related to this topic.
    I am having a requirement to upload the CSV files so that they will store in a database table and later on wards when they search on that table it needs to pull the information and display on the form. I am a new bee to application express. Could some body tell me how to start this process with??. Just give me an overvoew/hints so that I will try to carry on my own.
    Cheers,

  • How to check-in multiple files with same name having different revision num

    Hi
    Can anyone please tell me, how to check-in multiple files with the same name with different revision number using RIDC API.
    For eg:
    First I will check-in a file(TestFile.txt) into a content server with revision number 1 using RIDC API in ADF application. Then after some time, will modify the same file(TestFile.txt) and check-in again. I tried to check-in same file multiple times, however first time its checking-in correctly into server showing revision as 1, while checking-in same file again, its not giving any errror message, and also its not reflecting in server. Only one file(TestFile.txt) is reflecting in server.
    How to implement this functinality using RIDC API? Any suggestions would be helpful.
    Regards
    Raj
    Edited by: 887680 on Mar 6, 2013 10:48 AM

    Hi Srinath
    Thanks for your response. Its not cloning, its like check-in file first, then check-out the file and do some editing and then again upload the same file with different revision number using RIDC. I got the solution now.

  • How to load unicode data files with fixed records lengths?

    Hi!
    To load unicode data files with fixed records lengths (in terms of charachters and not of bytes!) using SQL*Loader manually, I found two ways:
    Alternative 1: one record per row
    SQL*Loader control file example (without POSITION, since POSITION always refers to bytes!)<br>
    LOAD DATA
    CHARACTERSET UTF8
    LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
    INFILE unicode.dat
    INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
    TRUNCATE
    A CHAR(2) ,
    B CHAR(6) ,
    C CHAR(2) ,
    D CHAR(1) ,
    E CHAR(4)
    ) Datafile:
    001111112234444

    02ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
    03ÄÜÖßêÊûÛxöööö
    04üüüüüüÖÄxµôÔµ Alternative2: variable length records
    LOAD DATA
    CHARACTERSET UTF8
    LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
    INFILE unicode_var.dat "VAR 4"
    INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE

    Implementing these two alternatives in OWB, I encounter the following problems:
    * How to specify LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR?
    * How to suppress the POSITION definition?
    * How to define a flat file with variable length and how to specify the number of bytes containing the length definition?
    Or is there another way that can be implemented using OWB?
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Carsten.

    Hi Carsten
    If you need to support the LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR clause in an external table then one option is to use the unbound external table and capture the access parameters manually. To create an unbound external table you can skip the selection of a base file in the external table wizard. Then when the external table is edited you will get an Access Parameters tab where you can define the parameters. In 11gR2 the File to Oracle external table can also add this clause via an option.
    Cheers

    how can i update my app with i tunes?not by my device.

    Select Apps in iTunes sidebar. A list of all your apps should be displayed in the main window. At bottom right of the window is a Check for updates button. Click on it, then click to download the updated apps. It's also possible that iTunes checked for updatedin the background, in which case the check button will already display how many updates you have.

    Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

    Okay, Even if i remove the scene numbers from Story and export the file to Final Draft 8. The format in incorrect. The "transitions" ex. CUT TO:  are not in the correct allignment. Also there are numbers on each of the dialogues
    Pretty much alot of the formatting is not the same. Spaces  that break dialouge and action which are there in Story, are not converted over to Final Draft.
    Please fix this as soon as possible.
    thanks,
