Moving InDesign files on a server that has stable INCX links

What concerns are there with moving InDesign files into different folders on a file server that has INCX files linked as Unassigned InCopy Content? The INCX file location would stay constant. Were are not planning on using assignments. Our editorial/art staff currently moves InDesign documents from folder to folder to indicate the status of a document in the editorial workflow. Im curious if we can still do this once we transition to an InCopy/InDeisign Live Edit workflow. Ive done some initial testing with positive results. The InDesign link to the INCX files seem to stay intact.
Any thoughts or concerns would be appreciated! -Mike

Cool, thanks for the info. Wonder how you found that little tid-bit of information, must have been some sort of experiment.
I once had a user work on a locally existing InDesign file for a few hours who wasn't in the habit of saving (since Indesign has such a great recovery feature.) Unfortunately, after a few hours of work, he went to finally save the document, but InDesign refused... couldn't even do a Save As. He called me down to his office in a panic since the document was still open. After a few minutes of checking InDesign logs on his Mac, I noticed a conflict in folder paths. I asked him if he moved the location of the InDesign document while the document was still open. He admitted that he probably did. After moving the InDesign document back to the original folder (same folder as the locked temp file), he was able to save the document. Go figure!

I would like to bring layered Illustrator files into Muse

I would like to bring layered Illustrator files into Muse. It would be great to use them for buttons like the photoshop layered button options.
It would be even better if it just converted the vectors to .SVG files auto-magically, when published.

Importing .ai files in Muse and having Muse export them as .svg is imperative for future proof workflow.
But in order for that to happen Muse would have to have some vector capabilities in itself and that means only one thing: rewrite of the whole app, most likely ditching Air framework.
In other words ain't gonna happen.
When you think about it really it's the Illustrator or Indesign that should do what Muse is doing right now. There is no reason for Muse to exist but they dont want to confuse the users I guess. Illustrator should apply native CSS effects by default enabled when you work on vectors such as drop shadow, round corners, blur, etc. and have it generate .css

Joining multiple inDesign files into one, can you solve this?

OK so basically I work at a magazine, the creative's all work on separate spreads so all the inDesign files consist of between 1 and 10 pages then usually they are all spat out in there sets of PDF's and sent to the printers.
Now I want to do an online addition of the magazine with the new SWF export feature in inDesign CS4 but I'm wondering how can you easily compile all of the separate inDesign files into one so that it can spit out one single swf with all 200 pages with the page peel effect?
Is there even a way without a mass of work of manually adding all the pages into one file, that would be absolutely humongous? Anyone with any suggestions how to make this process the simplist and with the least amount of labout would be an absoulute legend, I have little time to spend on this which sucks so looking for the best and fastest possible way that we could do it each month.
Cheers

I migth have a kind of solution for you. I have made a solution named eDocBrowser. (I called it Magazine Browser in earlier threads here and couple of other forums). It´s a collection of files that you publish with you SWF-files you have exported from InDesign. With eDocBrowser, you can put several SWF-files together and end-user can use them almost as one single SWF. Heres little demo I made just few minutes ago.
http://www.prepress.fi/eDocBrowser/
There are 3 SWF-files, all of them exported from InDesign. They are originally separate indd-files. When you reach last page of Document1, small arrow appears, and text "Jump to next file" and name of the next file too. You can go there also by using next-button at the bottom right corner, one that you use normaly to go next page. Same kind of arrow appears also when you are in first page of document 2 or 3 etc... with it you can go back to earlier documents last page etc... All the documents can be seen also in a drop-down menu at top of the screen. Labels of that menu are customizable.
Theres also a zoom. When you clic zoom+ button, your cursor changes to magnifying glass. With zoom- you can go back to normal view.
Additional features are FullScreen-view, Printing current spread and customizing user interface, buttons and logo at the top-left corner. Text search is very exprerimental and requires indd-file indexing with script we have made too. It indexes every single word in indd-document to XML-file and put pagenumbers there too. eDocBrowser searches that XML-file and gives all the hits to small result window. Hits are also links to page where they point...Search is not in use with this demo..
There is a small help-section in top-right corner...
We also have a script called eDocMaker. It does everything for you. You just have to have indd-files in one folder. Script asks location of that folder when you run it. It also askes you which resolution you want to use with images, anything goes between 72-2400 (72ppi is indesign´s default resolution for SWF-export, using bigger resolution might cause bigger SWF-files, but images look better when zoomed)
Price of the single licence of eDocBrowser will be 80euros (aprx. 100dollars). With it you may install one copy of eDocBrowser into your server and use as many SWF-files there as you want. There is no search feature in single version.
Price of unlimited licence is 300euros (aprx.400dollars) With it you may install as many copies of eDocBrowser as you like. With it you also get all the indesign scripts including eDocMaker with resolution booster, search indexer etc. + goodies like user interface and button templates, indesign effect (3D spine graphic etc)....
Product is about ready, we are just setting up a place to sell it. Now it seems that we are going to use a service called payloadz.com....

How do I convert an InDesign file into a PDF file, it won't let me do it when I 'Save As'. Help??

I need help with converting an InDesign file into a PDF file.
I've tried looking into the program and seeing if i can do it, but it is not giving me the option.
I need to be able to do this for work purposes.
Please help.

Try Exporting. There are also number of useful Export PDF presets that come with design.
What do you want to do with the PDF?

If the images aren't showing up in DW, why do you think they will show in Muse? Obviously, something is wrong with the paths to those images. And that will most likely be due to the underlying code.
Can you post an example of a problem page?

After Effects CS3 / Mac OSX 10.5.4 / iMac / Importing CS3 Indesign file into CS3 After Effects

Hi,
I'm wanting to import a CS3 Indesign file into a CS3 After Effects file including all the layers. Is there a simpler way than importing it into Illustrator then dividing the layers then importing into After Effects?
Thanks
Will

Nope, not that I'm aware. Unfortunately AE does flatten layered PDFs, so that second option wouldn't work, either. It should however be possible to spit out each layer as a separate PDF from InDesign with a little work. Perhaps even someone already has created an extension/ command set for this, so I'd ask on the ID forums.

Can't Place Captivate 6 swf or html5 File into Muse v3.2.

Muse v3.2 won't place my Captivate 6 swf or html5 files. "Error encountered during import" error 0. Has anyone else solved this or a similar problem? What can I do? Suggestions welcome.

Switch Indesign file into Photoshop

How do i transfer a indesign file into photoshop. i thought you used bridge to do something like this but im not sure? ive tried placing the indesign file into photoshop using bridge but it says the open options are incorrect. help?

ive tried placing the indesign file into photoshop using bridge but it says the open options are incorrect.
To my knowledge this is not possible, you can't place a .indd (InDesign file type) in PS nor open a InDesign document in PS because it does not support it. What you can do is the other way round, you can use Bridge to place a photoshop document or image in to an InDesign document. Most user do this via the MiniBridge panel in ID.

Cannot drag Indesign files into my Cloud space

Cannot drag Indesign files, or IDML versions of, into my Cloud space. Tried on home and office PCs, tried different ID files. This is a major problem for my workflow. HELP!

Hi Ken
Sorry I haven’t replied before – just taken a short break away from office (and disconnected home PC!)
Our office OS is Windows XP. I would not be surprised if there were problems on office PC as I’m working in an NHS network environment and there are loads of security protocols and some functions disabled within it.
But my home PC is running Windows 7. In both environments I see the ‘Drag and drop to upload’ message, but after releasing the Indesign file in that window nothing more happens.
Just before I went off I discovered the ‘Upload’ button; hadn’t recognized it as such – I thought maybe it moved a file up out of a folder! Durr.....
That worked fine, so I can use that instead.
Is there any way to amend the date display for individual files? I keep getting confused with the month appearing first – European thing I guess.....

Import InDesign files into RoboHelp HTML

Hello,
My company is moving toward online help. We currently use InDesign to author our manuals and then export them to pdf for publication. I've been on the phone with Adobe trying to see if there's a way to easily import InDesign into RoboHelp. We're on an older version of RoboHelp, so I'm told this is possible, but I can't get any help until we buy RoboHelp9. I know that we can import our pdfs into RoboHelp--I'm just wondering if there's a way to import InDesign files directly into RoboHelp. Has anyone tried to do this? Anyone have any suggestions? It seems these two programs should play nice together, doesn't it?
Louley

Hi there
To my knowledge it is not possible to accomplish. I've been using RoboHelp since 1992 and I've never seen it done.
The only way I can fathom it working would be if InDesign could save as an HTML page. Then import the HTML. Or possibly produce a PDF from InDesign, then import that. But even importing the PDF may not give you the results you want.
Cheers... Rick

How to get rid of blank white page next to cover page when converting an indesign file into a pdf flip book

Hey Everyone,
I created an catalog using indesign and now I want to convert that into a pdf flip book. I have exported it as a SWF then changing the SWF back into a pdf. It works great however, I keep getting a blank white page next too my cover page, and I really don't want this. I find it very distracting and visually unappealing. Is there any way to get rid of this blank white page? Or any other suggestions on how to create a flip book out of an indesign file.

It sounds as if you're not checking the pagination properties of the chapter after the problem within the book file.
The book file settings always trump the component file's settings.
So this would mean that, if Chapter 3 is set in the book file to start on a Right page, the book enforces this by adding a blank page to Chapter 2.
You should be able to fix this by selecting all the component chapters in the book, right-clicking and setting all the pagination properties to start on Next Available page, but I don't have 7 on this system so I can't give you the exact key strokes.

Can you turn a single 18-page Indesign file into 18 individual Indesign files?

I am working in CS5 and am laying out a newspaper in Indesign. I would like to save the 18 page file into 18 separate files (1 page per file) so other people can work on different pages.
Is this possible? Exporting as a pdf and extracting doesn't quite work (text wrap around ads issues) so keeping it as InDesign is a must.
Thank you.

You can use the Move Pages command to move one page at a time to a new file, or delete all but one page and save as with a new name. Either option can probably be automated by scripting (I bet somebody's already written it, so you might ask in InDesign Scripting) but 18 pages isn't all that big that doing it by hand should be a problem.

How to collect InDesign files into one InDesign file

Hello,
i need to collect a bunch of pages spread over a dozen of files into one file. The person who worked my source files found it convenient to separate a catalogue into chapters, making an individual file for each one of them. For some reason i need to make one single file of those chapters. How do i do this?
Thanks in advance!
