InCopy/Indesign workflow for printed and folio mags?

We have a printed magazine that we also produce as folios for a DPS app. We produce the mag by using InCopy for text within the InDesign workflow. No problems there.
When finished (all edits completed) we produce the folio files but adding in all the links to twitter handles, URL's etc is proving tedious and timeconsuming for the editors and the designer. The editors (who use the print files and InCopy) produce a list in excel of the additions - they reference columns and paragraphs - which we don't use in the folio version. The designer then finds the spot after a lot of searching and then copies and pastes. All very tedious and a backward step in workflow.
Is there a way to include the "links" in an InCopy file that doesn't appear on the print PDF's yet apply correctly in the folios?

Use conditional text.
All interactive elements should be inline objects or simple hyperlinks that are tagged with a condition, then either showing or hidden depending on the article. Hide the interactive content when you create the PDF for print, and show the condition when adding or updating the article.
Anything you want to show/hide has to be part of a story — so text, inline objects, and anchored objects can all be used this way.
InCopy can see and apply conditional text, but cannot edit DPS-centric content such as an anchored MSO.
As always, using matching versions of ID/IC is important.

Using InCopy for print and DPS

We are just starting a workflow of print and DPS going simultaneously by using InCopy files as our main text. We are currently working out some kinks, but one thing has me perplexed.
I have a case where I have a paragraph in the DPS layout that I need to adjust tracking. But when I check it back in after making the change, it then changes the tracking in the print document as well. I guess I'm a little surprised that the kerning attributes are tied to the InCopy file. I should add that I do have a style sheet set up in both DPS and print with the same name but different attributes, so that is working well.
But, I see this as a problem that will come up a lot. For example, on one document I may have a widow that I need to fix by tracking in or out--but I do not want to change the tracking in the other document.
Is there any workaround for this (short of breaking the InCopy link)?

It makes perfect sense, really. You’re using InDesign styles in a similar way that you’d use CSS to style HTML.
Apply different CSS files to the same content and you get different results for the same content. But if you use an inline style in the HTML, you can’t control it externally.

He says, a neutral grey is Set, When all 4 Values of c,m,y and k are the Same?
Seriously?
Embarassing Mistake in this Video. Has anybody from Adobe watched and cleared this? How in the World Couleur this Guy become adobe Certified whatever.
For neutral grey you'd use the k value only.
In RGB a neutral grey is Set with Same amount of r,g and be.
Depending on your profiles and on the colours, a neutral gray in CMYK Would have more Cyan than Magenta and yellow.
Just Take a neutral grey in RGB and let Photoshop change it to CMYK. And have a Look at the Result.

What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design?

What's the benefits of Indesign CC over Indesign CS3 for print design? I'd like to know the advantages and features – all those I read about are to do with EPUB, collaborative working, teams or digital designs, and those don't reflect my work.

Very important is the span column paragraph property which allows to span several columns in a text frame or to split a column in several sub columns.
Very important is the tag feature, which is also important for creating PDFs with unlimited access.
A lot of problems with footnotes and page layout have been solved due to a better text engine. Up to CS5.5 it could happen that a footnote could force a page be empty when a document was opened.
With CS5 rounded frame corners which are editable were introduced.
Object Styles have been completed since CS3.
Content tools to create linked content were introduced. You need only to change the original content (text or image) and all linked content will be updated as any other link. The linked content can be in the same and in any other document.
Since CS5.5 it is much easier to anchor frames in a text flow with the little at the top of a frame symbol.

When I try to print from my iPad I see a message "searching for printer" and then "no printer found.". I have a printer application loaded and it finds my wireless printer.   How do I get the iPad to do the same so I can print from emails, the web, etc?

I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family

I would like to print out the icon and title of each of my IOS apps to another document for printing and sharing within my family. My son has my old iPod touch so I erased it so he could put whatever games he wants to play on that I used to play with. It is difficult to download every game at one time because there is too much to download at one time. I have many hundreds of apps. One way I found was to create a screen grab of each page in iTunes then open it in Preview contact sheet but that is really tiny unreadable image of each screen. I also tried importing a screen shot of the contact sheet into Paint 2 and magnifying it on several pages but that is really blurry. The ideal solution would be to import the icon and text to another app or to provide a print list of apps solution within iTunes.

Create iPad screen shots by briefly pressing the home and on/off buttons together. You will hear a shutter click sound and find a screen shot on your iPad's Camera Roll. You can then print these screen shots as you would any iPad photos.
UPDATE: I assumed you had an iPad. Hopefully your iOS device does have an on/off and home button and is capable of producing screen shots.

I want to create a document in Illustrator that i can use for Print and Web - using 2 different colourspaces.

Is it possible to do this? I need to create a document so that I can export as a high quality CMYK for print and export the same file as RGB jpeg / pdf for web and email use. Do I have to create the document with 2 different colourspaces, or can I change / convert the colourspace after I have created and finished the document? or is there some simple way to select an RGB / CMYK option when saving/exporting?
look forward to your reply!
Tom

Tom,
In addition to what Monika said, the document can be either CMYK or RGB Colr Mode, but not both.
And you are right in starting with the CMYK because that will ensure (to the degree possible) that the CMYK and RGB versions match in colour (gamut, the CMYK gamut being the more linited and almost entirely included in the RGB gamut); this will prevent more vivid RGB colours which will make the CMYK colours seem duller.

For such activities you would probably better make use of ISR.

Bought InDesign CS4 for Mac and now need to move it to a PC. Help!

Most Adobe software is written for one of two platforms, Mac or PC. In order to switch platforms you need to be using the most current version, so CS4 would not be supported for making this switch. Here is a link to a page that explains the requirements for switching platforms....

AE Setup for printer and Airtunes ONLY?

If I set up a wireless network on my AE for printing and Airtunes, but my laptop accesses the internet via ethernet, does the AE allow access to that connection backwards through the laptop? (I don't want it to).

dasharst, Welcome to the discussion area!
Yes that is possible.
If your Linksys is a wireless router, simply configure the AirPort Express (AX) to join the wireless network created by the Linksys.
If your Linksys isn't wireless, simply connect the AX via Ethernet to one of the Linksys LAN ports. Configure the AX to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).

Firewall Rules for Printing and Scanning through Windows Firewall

Hello,
I am having trouble determining the Ports, Programs, and Services required for printing and scanning with my AIO.
I am using Windows Firewall in Windows 7, and am only allowing certain rules in and out.
I know the firewall is the problem, for when I disable it, everything works fine.
Which rules are required for printing and scanning through the firewall?

4th Bump,
Is there anyone who can help me with this?
As I said before, other printer manufacturers such as Lexmark and Brother provide this exact information.
Why doesn't hp have a document for this? Does everyone just disable their firewall or open every port?

InCopy to manage manage print and iPad publication

We create a print and iPad version of a magazine and it would be nice to use the same copy editing and final text across our print, as well as portrait and landscape versions of a layout.
Is this possible using InCopy?

We will be using CS6.
Our current workflow is to create all section pages as a group for print, but create individual files and single pages per file across landscape and portrait for iPad
So essentially we want to be able to only use one source of copy across all 3 publications. Is it possible to do that and still be able to copy fit according to the unique layouts across all three publications?
We have custom software to create our iPad magazines and do not use Adobe's tools for that part of the process.

How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for print that easily converts to epub?

How do I create a Table of Contents in InDesign CS6 for a print book that easily converts to epub?
Can anyone point me to a link for a step-by-step (not a video) on setting up all the elements of a print book properly (pages, table of contents and index) so they will convert and reflow perfectly from print to epub in InDesign CS6. This is not about building an ebook from ground up, but taking 50 backlisted print books (converted from old versions of Quark to InDesign) that now need to be converted to epub formats.
OR could someone point me to the link in the Adobe InDesign CS6 support that explains how to create a Table of Contents for a print book (5.5" x 8.5", 288 pages), one that will convert when the file is converted to ePub (for MAC OSX)?
Just downloaded the 706 page inDesign CS6 reference manual from Adobe <http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> but there's not even a search feature on the pdf file.
Up until this week, we have only done print books, creating the TOC the old fashioned way, as a fixed page, comprised of two columns: page numbers and chapters/subject. The files I have created are taken by our printer and printed beautifully.
However, when I convert the same book to epub in CS6, the character and paragraph styles converted beautifully - but everything else is all over the place! The table of contents is on different pages, the columns split apart. That goes for the page contents as well - everything is all over the place. when it's converted to a pdf -- total perfection. Never any problems converting with perfection to pdf format and reading those on the various readers.
(Thank you so much in advance for any help).

<http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/indesign_reference.pdf> Adobe Digital Reader does have a search feature for reading pdfs. Found the TOC instructions on page 176 of 706 pages.

InCopy/Indesign workflow issues

I have an InCopy/Indesign collab workflow question.
Myself (designer) and a colleague (writer) are trialling using InCopy 6 with InDesign CS5.5. There seems to be issues with the InDesign document refreshing once the writer has made changes using InCopy, and vice versa. We are working on the same server. .icml files don't seem to give alerts in InDesign that they need to be updated.
Can anyone see any reasons why this may be happening?

Thanks, yes I suspected the different versions could have been a problem.
What do you mean you don't get alerts?
When the InDesign document has been edited and saved using InCopy, the text box links (.icml files) that were edited should automatically appear as out-of-date in the links panel when it is next opened in InDesign, just as other links are displayed when they have been edited. But this doesn't happen, and I then have to manually update them to make sure they are the latest version of the link.
Any thoughts? Could this all just boil down to using the same version of software?
Thanks in advance.
