Packaging files in InCopy CS6

I have just installed InCopy CS6, and received an assignment from our designer, who created the document in InDesign CS5. I have successfully opened and edited the document, but the option to package (in any format - to Return for InDesign or Forward for InCopy) cannot be selected (greyed out). Any suggestions as to why this might be?
Thanks in advance!

Here’s how it works.
The only way you can package for InDesign is if you are working on a package you received from an InDesign user. Likewise, the only way to forward a package to an InCopy user if you received an InDesign or InCopy package.
InCopy cannot be the beginning the step for a remote workflow.
The package (INCP) is the assignment but in it’s own wrapper.

"An error has occurred opening the package file" in InCopy

Hi there,
I have created an InCopy package file from InDesign CS3 (Mac). I am able to open this package file in InCopy CS3 (Mac) without error. However, two editors working in InCopy CS4 (Windows) on different machines receive the following error message when trying to open the .incp file:
"An error has occurred opening the package file"
I have read AnneMarie's excellent cautionary tales about working in a mixed CS3 / CS4 environment, but my understanding was that simply opening the initial .incp file was unlikely to produce an error.
Can anyone suggest what might be causing the error? Should we conclude that the error stems solely from a CS3 / CS4 conflict?
Thanks!

Great tip about the masked filetype, I hadn't realized these packages were so easily extractable.
However, the error message you're receiving is adding a new layer of complexity. A quick search on these forums reveals this thread:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2278850
That thread suggests to me that the error may be related to Snow Leopard. We're using Mac OS 10.5.7 here at work. Could I trouble you to open the file on your Windows machine to attempt to replicate the same error we're receiving in Windows here?
And are there any known issues that could prevent a user from opening a package file?
Thanks.

Can you package files in Premiere Pro CS6 like you do in Indesign so you don't looses links?

Can you package files in Premiere Pro CS6 like you do in Indesign so you don't looses links?
We are sorting out our filing system and want to be able to move files and rushes to new locations without loosing the links between them, is their a way of doing this? When using InDesign you package a file and it creates a folder of links and fonts, something like this would be useful.

Have a look at the Project Manager.

Package missing from file menu in CS6 - how to get this feature?

Hi,
I'm running Illustrator CS6 (version 16.0.3) 64-bit on Windows 7 64-bit as part of my Design Standard CS6. I'm trying to package a file but when I go to the File menu, there is no package option. Why is it not there? And how do I get the Package feature?

InCopy CS6 "Cannot Open File" from InDesign CC

I'm trying to review copy recently posted by my designer. I'm using InCopy CS6 and she recently upgraded to InDesign CC. We never had a problem before, but now I'm getting the following error:
I'm running Windows 8 and she's on a Mac (not sure which OS).
Any thoughts?

For real? I can't believe that the latest version of the standalone InCopy can't play with InDesign CC. My designer is a contractor and just spent a lot of money to upgrade to CC, and my employer didn't want to pay for all of CC, so they just got me Incopy CS6.

How do I save my file using InDesign CS6 so that it can be opened with CS5?

I know other people asked similar questions but I can't find anything that helps me figure my issue out.
Basically, I packaged my file using InDesign CS6. When I sent it to the person it needed to be sent to, she couldn't open it. She was running CS5.
So now I'm trying to REpackage it still using CS6 but when I make an IDML version and try to package it, it says that I need to SAVE it. Well the only options are CS6, which I can't use again, and another IDML version. If I did the IDML it would just save it as another untitled document and then I'd have to start all over.
Actually I just tried that, and InDesign crashed.
Any suggestions?

Hey,
There is no such function in InDesign as 'saving to a lower version' (as it is in e.g. FrameMaker). There are interchange formats: obsolete INX (CS2,CS3,CS4) and current IDML (CS5, CS5.5, CS6).
You need to export (ctrl+e) previously saved document into IDML and attach to existing INDD file (Attaching is not necessary as IDML is a self-sufficient file). Also it's a really good idea to attach a PDF file (from CS6) as there might be some differences when opening a IDML from higher file in lower version program.
Final package could look like this:
     Document fonts
     Links
          original file.indd
          original file.idml
          original file.pdf
best regards

InDesign CS5 and inCopy CS6 workflow problem

I've looked at other discussions and haven't found any to answer the question to our problem.
We are a small publishing company and we have license for roughly 7 inDesign CS5 copies that we purchased a year ago. We contract with outside editors to edit content for us using inCopy. For a year there hasn't been any problems. But any new contracted editor we now sign, which in turn purchases inCopy, we are having trouble with our files talking to one another. Any new contracted editors are only able to purchase CS6 inCopy. This leaves us with the problem of having inDesign CS5 on about 7 or so of our employees machines and 6-8 CS 5.5 InCopy on outside contracted editors and an additional 3-4 contracted editors with CS6 inCopy. When the editors with CS6 inCopy try to open files from our InDesign CS5, either they won’t open at all, or they will open, the editor works on the project for awhile, their program crashes and they are not able to recover (re-open) the files again. Which results in hours of lost work.
Has anyone else come across this problem? Is there a work around or a quick fix. We would hate to have to upgrade to CS6 for all of our in house copies of InDesign and then ask our outside editors what do have inCopy cs5.5 to upgrade to CS6.
If this is the case, when CS7 comes out, and we hire additional outside editors, will we continuously have to go through the process of upgrades again? This is too costly for use and our existing contracted editors.
Any thoughts are assistance would be appreciated.
This is one of the error messages received from an outside contracted editor using inCopy CS6. The file crashed after several hours of work, when the editor went to reopen the file, they received this error. Which looks to be a generic error code that doesn't tell us anything.

Hi Ruffus,
Unfortunately different versions of InDesign and InCopy do not work well with each other. Newer versions of the program should be able to open older files, but they cannot save backwards. I am not sure what is causing the errors with the newer versions of InCopy however.
Are you able to open the CS6 InCopy files on your computers?

Is InCopy CS6 compatible with InDesign CS5.5?

Hello,
We recently upgraded our production team to CS Design Standard 5.5, however, we now need a handful of copies of InCopy for our editors...
Just wanted to make sure that InCopy CS6 and InDesign CS5.5 were playing nice with each other before making the purchase.
Thanks in advance.

I would test it very thoroughly by downloading the trial versions. I would imagine text flow will be a bit different and packaging certainly won’t work.
BTW, what does recently mean? Any purchase of 5.5 after March 26 would entitle you to a free upgrade to CS6.

Is anyone else having trouble with Audio Assets not packaging correctly? Indd CS6

When I go to package my indesign files, which appear properly linked and organized, rather than bundling the play and pause icons in one folder labeled Audio (in an Overlay Assets folder) like it should, it collects as two Audio folders (both into an Overlay Assets folder). I do have two audio resources I'm using (the same mp3 file for each audio button). When I collect, I see one folder is named Audio and has nothing in it. Nor does the 2nd folder, named Audio 402-12510241 but with a long 12 digit code in the filename (this number changes each time I attempt to bundle.). So each time I try to package, then open the newly packaged file, the audio controller files show up as missing assets.
Here's two alert messages I get when I:
A. Try to package a file
B. Try to preview on iPad
If I manually dump these collected audio folders and replace into the Overlay Assets folder it works to preview on the iPad. And seems to work. But try repackaging and you get the same scenario.
Any ideas how to resolve this?
—Brian

Well it worked, kind of. Opened and worked in CC. Previewed to iPad just fine. Packaged folder on the CC machine, which seemed to create correct overlay asset folders with the audio plan and pause pngs. Yeah.
Then, I followed the steps from your note, copied the whole folder to the cs6 machine. Opened the idml in that folder, where there was also the CC version, saved the idml as a new filename in cs6. And if I stop right there, I likely have good files.
But for good measure, I tried to package again, hoping this time I'd see the audio folders in the right place. But no dice. The packaged file creates two empty audio folders. The reason I keep trying to re-package is because I'll be adding more content to these files and will have to re-package at least one more time before uploaded article into an actual folio. And I want to address the problem before going to the Cloud. I'm a bit hesitant to upload given the behavior of these audio files. I've tried importing new audio files with new controller files but that doesn't work.
Days ago, doing troubleshooting of the file, I noticed an old remnant which I deleted from the CC file, and that was a plain text box (with 100% color fill) that had an audio controller file path/location (in the audio folio overlay panel) that linked backed to the CC machine. This was an accident to link this colored box, and it had no mp4 link (or audio controller files) attached to it in the links folder. But deleting the box did delete this audio pathway.
So I can keep doing what I'm doing, replacing the Overlay Assets folder with a custom Audio folder each time, but I'll have to do this to my other 700 pages of iPad documents that will follow this chapter. I'd rather just understand what is happening, fix the file once, then move on and use the corrected files for a template to use for other 20 chapters i have to build.
Mac OS 10.7.5 (which keeps telling me there is an CS6 update but then after updating it, the same update is ready for me to download again). So maybe my OS has something to do with it? Or working on two separate harrdrives that are both within the same tower? I'm trying to work on just one, but I have copied files onto this 2nd drive, which I plan to add as new articles to a new folio as soon as I figure this out.
What do you think?

Indesign cc and incopy cs6 - compatibility

if i update to indesign cc, will i still have full compatibility with existing incopy cs6 editors/users?

Ah right, yes, good point. We never use that method, only assignments. I Guess an INDD file would be another story indeed! Will test. But hey, never open an INDD, to big, use assigments always! ;-)

"The selected package file requires an InDesign document that cannot be found."

Hello,
I often get this error message "The selected packaged file requires an InDesign document that cannot be found. How do you want to continue?" when opening in InDesign CS5.5
My options are "Browse to locate this document." and "Save the contents of the package to disk."
When I selected "Browse to locate this document." and I located the appropriate InDesign file, it prompts me to browse for the file again. Its a never ended cycle.
I'm not sure how to solve this problem. I'm not familiar with the procedure if I "save the contents of the package to disk." Can someone help me out with this?
Thanks!

Well, there’s your answer. Pretty simple…don’t do that.
But if the damage has been done, you can change the extension of the idap file to zip and unzip the contents. You’ll find all the updated InCopy stories there.
Overwrite the ones on your harddrive and you should be good to go.

Adobe released new updates of InDesign CS6 v8, CC v9 and InCopy CS6

Hello,
now it seems obviously, that Adobe released today(?) new versions of:
InDesign CS6 => CS6 v8.1.0
InDesign CS6 8.1.0 Release Notes
InDesign CC v9.2.2 => CC v9.3.0
InDesign Help | InDesign CC 9.3.0 Release Notes
InDesign InCopy CS6 => InCopy CS6 v8.1.0
InCopy Help | InCopy CS6 8.1.0 Release Notes
Currently that's all I can find about it…
Uwe

Interesting that they're still fixing CS6. But are all the CS6 bug-fixes
only for CC subscribers, or only the auto-opening newer file versions
feature?
And it's strange to me that they're still updating InDesignCC! Anyone
who has CC has a CC-subscription, so they have CC2014.1. So what do we
need an update to CC for?!
