Incopy changes not showing up in InDesign

I have an InCopy story in which the editor made several edits and applied several style sheets; however, those changes are not showing up in the InDesign file. The InDesign file does not show that the story is "out of date." When I open the actual INCX file, the changes are in the file and if I unlink the story from InDesign, delete the text, then re-link the story, the changes now appear.
We were able to fix this instance and did not loose any text; however, I just wondered if anyone else has had this happen and if there's a known cause for this.

I think your understanding is correct - when double clicked it DOES open the appropriate InDesign file, and it DOES clear the "Package" icon in the assignments palette next to the assignment. But it DOES NOT show the modified incopy "incx" files as has been modified.
Normally it would show it needing to be modified, in which case, like you said, you are prompted (well, there's not a dialog box at that time, but you see the yellow warning icon next to the "incx" file in the Links or Assignments palettes) to update the link(s).
Again this is a hit or miss proposition. The designer and I worked on this for a few hours last week. My contention was that it had something to do with where she had the Exported InCopy "incx" files; where she created the assignment (clicking on the Change button in the New Assignment dialog); or where she put the "indp" package when it she received the modified edits. So we tinkered with changing these paths. We also switched from "Exporting Layer", which is our normal process to just Exporting an individual selected article. Using the "Exporting Layer" and keeping the assignment in the default path (with the InDesign file) seemed to work. But we didn't do enough of that scenario to prove it consistently worked. She will be doing that over the next few live jobs.
But none of those really made sense to me as the culprit. I'm contemplating my next move for testing. Of course today with my local testing, I couldn't reproduce the problem. We're on Window's servers via SMB, maybe that's got something to do with it.

  • Enabled fonts not showing up in InDesign after Mountain Lion Upgrade

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, fonts that are enabled in Font Book (Adobe open Type) are not showing up in InDesign CS5.5.
    However, if I go to Font Book and disable the fonts, then re-enable them...they will show up in InDesign.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    It sounds like a small glitch in your Mountain Lion upgrade. If you're just done an in-place upgrade (not a clean install) these things can happen.
    It sounds like you've found the workaround. But if you discover other problems with the upgrade, you should consider a clean install. Do a Google search on "clean install Mountain Lion" to find out how.

  • Fonts not showing up in InDesign CC 64bit

    I find it extremely difficult to believe that Adobe have not found a solution to the issue of installed fonts not showing up in InDesign. If anybody has found a solution that does not include the "rewriting" of font types. Please assist. We specialize in Brand Management, and it becomes extremely challenging when Adobe InDesign does not show up the installed font in order to ensure Brand Management :/

    POSSIBLE SOLUTION
    I'm not sure if this is the cause for anyone else, but I had the same symptoms--almost no fonts showing up in InDesigns Font dropdown options.
    THE SOLUTION:  The new version of ID has two "font filter toggle button". They are the "Apply Favorite Filter", and "Apply Typekit Filter". It seem that in my install, the Typekit filter was on by default, which makes it so that the Font list only displays those fonts that originate from Typekit, as opposed to the thousand you have on your hard drive.
    Click the toggle to turn off the filter and --zowee! All your fonts come right back.
    I hope this helps some of you. It would also explain why people on both Macs and Windows boxes are having this issue.
    Best,

  • CS6: Fonts not showing up in Indesign or other adobe programs

    There are missing fonts in several of our files due to moving our marketing inhouse.
    I have installed the Avenir complete font family into C:\Windows\Fonts and a lot of them aren't showing up in InDesign or the other Adobe programs.
    After looking at some other forums I followed the instructions to place them into;
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe InDesign CS6\Fonts
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts
    STILL The only fonts showing up are;
    Avenir 35 Light
    Avenir 45 Book
    Avenir 55 Roman
    Avenir 65 Medium
    We have already been using this font for all our printing so changing is not an option.
    Could someone give me some other suggestions?

    Have you rebooted? What format is the font? Does it show correctly in any applications?

  • Extensions not showing at all - Indesign CC 2014 - but shows in Photoshop and illustrator

    Hi Hallgrimur Bjornsson,
    Extensions not showing at all in Indesign CC 2014 (see screenshot) - but are showing in Photoshop and illustrator
    Have tried to remove ExMan.db file and restart Extension Manager (v. 7.3.2.39).
    After install, the extension correctly shows in
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEP/extensions
    In CC folder - there's one extension (Adobe Mini Bridge)
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CEPServiceManager4/extensions
    Have tried to uninstall and reinstall InDesign CC 2014.
    There is only CC 2014 version of the applications installed.

    Is Extensions available as a menu item under Edit > Menus...
    If it is, is it marked as visible?
    If it is not, uninstall, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3 ) and reinstall.

  • Illustrator white not showing up in indesign cs5

    I have a white illustrator logo as an .AI file. When I put print over view on, it is not showing up.
    The illustrator swatch is set to white process 4 color.
    I looked at indesigns attributes and nothing is checked.
    Any thoughts?
    thanks,
    Jon

    White objects inadvertantly set to overprint has been a problem since day one of the desktop publishing revolution. The day that a company or agency vectorized their logo is when the problem started. And the story goes like this: a logo is vectorized and colorized for multiple usage, in hopes to prevent trapping issues for the black version the art is set to overprint. Then someone realizes that a reverse logo is needed, takes the black version switches to white, not paying any attention to an overprint setting.

  • Fonts not showing up in InDesign CS4?

    Hi,
    Newbie here, so any wisdom from the voices of experience is greatly appreciated.
    I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, and several fonts that worked fine in CS2 do not even show up in CS4 (!).  I'm working with Mac OSX and I'd really like to know if anyone has any constructive suggestions.  I've done some poking around online and it seems I'm not the only one who's encountered this little issue, but it also seems that others have been unsuccessful in resolving it.  Can anyone provide some insight?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for responding.I'm working with Mac version 10.5.8. 
    The fonts I'm trying to work with are foreign language fonts that don't appear anywhere on the font list (trust me-I've looked!).
    Well, if you've really looked through the whole list, you already know that foreign-language fonts usually show up at the end of the list, in categories that are ostensibly by language. Some of them do not show up in their pre-ordained language category; massive Unicode roll-ups of many scripts often show up with the Latin-script fonts or the Thai fonts (???).
    I'm the complex-script DTP wonk in a translation firm that specializes in refugee languages; chances are that I've already encountered the fonts you're trying to install, at some point in the last decade. If I haven't, I know someone who has done so. You really should post the names of the fonts, so I can tell you if I know anything about them, tricks to install them, and so on.
    As far as how the fonts were installed-I'm not sure how they got here initially (fonts are a great mystery to me), but they show up in my Fontbook in the "Computer" collection but not the "User" collection.  Could that have something to do with my problem?
    Uh, maybe. I doubt it, though. You could find out by
    1) Finding out where the actual font files are.
    2) Copying them to your desktop, or someplace where Mac OS can't get to 'em.
    3) Uninstall them from Fontbook. (I don't have a Mac with that version of Mac OS installed; I'll look when I'm at home to see if I can give you step-by-step instructions, or you can Google for instructions.)
    4) Put the font files in your /Applications/Adobe InDesign CS4/Fonts folder.
    For fonts that Mac OS doesn't like, this is the most reliable way to get them working. But really, post the names of the fonts and I'll probably be able to tell you all about using them for typesetting in InDesign.

  • Errors not showing up in InDesign, finding them in print publication

    I design a weekly newspaper. Today, and other weeks, we've had what seems to be a sporadic issue where once I finish designing my InDesign document (with no errors in preflight), and send it to our plate maker, the plate is printing a page or more with each line of text cut halfway (see photo).
    For instance, this issue occurred this week on our front page, but I used the same template and same PDF preset as the week before, and last week, there were no issues, nor the week before, or week before.
    My first question is, what might cause the text to print like this on the plate, but not show up as an error in the InDesign document?
    Secondly, we finally worked around the issue this week by exporting the entire document as a .ps file, then converting it to a .pdf. Why would this have made a difference? More importantly, why would the export setting I've used dozens of times before only not work a handfull of times in regard to the text being cut?

  • InfoViewBranding changes not showing

    Hello,
    I followed steps below for branding changes on 4.1 but I cannot get changes to show. Below are steps I've done.
    1.) Unpackaged com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar
    2.) Made my changes to customize.css and added my images and removed sample folder so now I have structure.
         \META-INF
         \web
              \css
                   customize.css
              \images
    3.) Repackaged it and placed at <INSTALLDIR>\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\warfiles\webapps\BOE\WEB-INF\eclipse\plugins
    4.) Stopped Tomcat
    4.) Deployed files to Tomcat
    5.) Started Tomcat
    Now in SAP BusinessObjects\tomcat\work\Catalina\localhost\BOE\eclipse\plugins I can see my webpath.InfoViewBranding folder with same structure as above with my new images. Everything looks good. The changes however dont show in the launchpad. I restarted Tomcat serveral times, deleted and recreated localhost folder, cleared my own browser cache. Everything I can think of but its not using webpath.InfoViewBranding folder. Still using default. Any other ideas? The folder structure is absolutley correct.
    Thank You

    It was due to the manifest.mf file being blank after repackaging. Jason gave me this resolution below onTutorial: Branding and Theming of BI launch pad. This was my fix.
    Alex,
    I finally figured out the problem, at least what was keeping my branding from working, and it sounds like you may be experiencing the same thing. It had to do with the jar command to repackage the com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar file in the SAP Business Objects BI Customization Guide. The command they tell you to use is:
    jar cf com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar web META-INF
    This command creates a new (blank) MANIFEST.MF file in the META-INF directory. I use the following command instead:
    jar cfm com.businessobjects.webpath.InfoViewBranding.jar MANIFEST.MF web
    NOTE: I moved the MANIFEST.MF file out of the META-INF folder and had it at the same level as the web folder just to make typing the command easier. It will create a META-INF folder and include the MANIFEST.MF file.
    After finding the blank MANIFEST.MF file, I used this Java tutorial on JAR files to figure out what was causing the issue: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/index.html
    Specifically, the details of the command I used above to package the manifest file is located here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/deployment/jar/modman.html
    Hope this helps,
    Jason

  • Contribute changes not showing after site update

    A few months ago I added a top level navigation item to a client site.  That made changes to the code for every page in the site, but the changes the client had made with Contribute 4 still showed in browsers.
    Just posted the pages for another addition to top level nav.  This again made changes to the code on every page of the site.  This time the Contribute changes do not show in browsers.
    The Contribute files are still in their folders on the server.
    Navigation to the pages modified in Contribute has not changed.
    Is there a simple fix to wake up the Contribute files?

    If there are any errors in yur code, FB will not compile
    anything new.
    Verify that you do not have any errors in the Problems pane.
    Then try Menu, Project, Clean.

  • Brige CC Place menu does not show Illustrator and Indesign

    Hello,
    In my Bridge CC the menu item "place" is only showing "in Photoshop" and  "in After Effects". But it doesn't show Place "in Indesign" and "in Illustator" and "in Premiere".
    How can I fix that? I think it happens after I switched to 2014 versions only.
    Thanks in advance,
    Wilmar Boer

    Why did you have to call Support?  An Adobe Engineer who programs Photoshop gave you the answer a whole day ago.
    Of course the Blur Gallery is available in version 14.2.1.  It's just not called out in the same place in the menu structure as in the newer versions.

  • Changes not showing

    hi,
    when i compare two models changes in views and packages from relational model don`t showing. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi Philip,
    When I compare two different models or when I compare a data dictionary with a model,
    the packages and the packages bodies are not part of this comparison,
    you can select the packages in the menus but if you have different code in the packages is not showed in the result neither in the DDL preview,
    different privileges or any other property are not showed also,
    let me know if you understand the requirement now,
    I'm conscience that this requirement has been asked for other users in the past,
    I mean,
    If I'm developing a package in the SQL Developer and after end the development I want to refresh the code of the package that I have in the model,
    I can open the model directly in the SQL Developer and edit the package, copy and paste the code to the package in the model and commit the change to the subversion,
    that's really helpful but if I want to merge my model with the changes in the code to other model, no differences will be appear in the result comparison also no possibility to compare it with other databases (datadictionary)
    Thanks in advance

  • Changes not showing up

    Can anyone see what's going on here- the bottom of several of my blog pages are not showing up correctly- the copyright line at bottom, the "next" and "previous". I keep changing, adjusting, it all looks right in Iweb; I've been empting cacge, refreshing.

    Is it a PDF form or web form?
    For PDF forms, you need to regenerate and redistribute them everytime you make a change
    For web forms, changes automatically show up online. If they don't its likely you are modifying a duplicate of the form, and not the one posted.
    If that's not the case can you provide more details on your workflow leading up to this issue?
