Use and possibilities of inCopy and inDesign CC in interactive DPS layers

Hi,
We like to give our editors access via inCopy in our inDesign DPS files.
As I understand; text, like images is displayed in the Links panel.
Is it already possible to have inCopy CC assigned text in the interactive DPS layers?
All help welcome!

I was able to use InCopy with a text frame that was incorporated into a scrolling frame overlay, but it seemed a bit "wonky" with formatting. (Formatting was lost between InCopy edit and InDesign.) My guess is that it should work in an MSO as well, but I didn't have time to test that theory.
You can download a 30-trial of InCopy, if you want to run your own tests.

Version control with concurrent InCopy and InDesign packages

Hi there,
If Editor A uses the "Forward for InCopy" option to create and send an InCopy package (.incp) to Editor B, and then erroneously uses the "Return for InDesign" function to create an InDesign package (.indp) before the Editor B has returned the new version of the package, can the superflous .indp file (that will never be used by anyone) be safely deleted?
The goal is to receive a new .incp file from Editor B and to treat it as the current version of the assignment, even though a .indp was accidentally created in the interim. Can we simply delete the .indp file or are there other complications that we need to consider?
Thanks.

Excellent, thank you! I just wanted to be certain.

InCopy CS6 and InDesign CS6 workflow

Hi there, I just started a 3 day per week job at an architecture firm. They have about 35 staff, and use Word to format some pretty hefty reports. They are in one column, rather ugly and doesn’t reflect at all the professionalism of the firm.
I’m looking at trying to integrate the workflow, so that they can maybe use InCopy and InDesign together, effectively replacing Word for report use. I’m only in 3 days so it’s impossible for me to use a Word > InDesign workflow with the amount of changes (mostly last minute and to tight deadlines). It just takes too long. The architects and historians need to be able to write these reports themselves, with my skills coming in when it's the final format ready to send to the client.
We have licences for about 5 copies of InDesign CS5 at the moment, and 35 licenses for Word, so we’re looking at the costings and if the InCopy to InDesign workflow would work well for much of the communication here. The report writers use hundreds of images/diagrams in each document, and all these have captions, so I guess it’s important to use an inline compatible design where the users can add images in InCopy and these are brought over to InDesign without too much fiddling around at the end.
The aim is to have the report writers use a collaborative system, but using corporate open type fonts that display well on screen. We are using Trade Gothic, and it doesn't represent on screen very well at all. The report writers hate using it, especially as their zoom size in Word is normally around 90%.. The other problem is the lack of layout optiions with Word. The reports could save hundreds of pages just by using a 2 column system which can save rivers of blank white space within text.
Also we need the ability for the writers to be able to add images and resize/rotate landscape portait format etc.
I’ve downloaded a trial version of InDesign CS6 and InCopy CS6 so am just checking things out and testing it at the moment.

Using Dropbox for InCopy/InDesign workflows works really well. You keep all your projects in Dropbox as though it was a networked, local server.
I will be doing an hour-long session at PePcon (the Print + ePublishing Conference) on "The state of the state" of open source or low cost editorial workflows, covering InCopy, Word, GoogleDocs, and InDesign plug-ins. Really great conference to go to if you're using InDesign for publishing. (note: I'm a co-host, too.)

InCopy6, InCopy CC, and InDesign

We are a small business with a tiny IT department. We were all happily using InCopy 6 and InDesign 6 until we added two new employees. By then, version 6 was no longer available, so one employee was given InCopy CC and one was given InDesign CC. IT then told us we had to work with what we have. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how we can do this? Help!

I don’t know who told you it wasn’t but CS6 is still available directly from Adobe.

InCopy and InDesign files viewing differently

I am currently running a project to change a magazine publisher from a Quark platform to an InDesign and InCopy workflow. One problem that keeps occuring is that when an editor manually alters the paragraph style to make the copy fit in InCopy, (ie, altering the tracking and/or leading), this change does not show when the same file is opened in InDesign.
For example, a heading that an editor has reduced tracking -5% to make fit into one line in the InCopy file, will still look like two lines when the InDesign file is opened. This is particularly dangerous for pages of text, as we keep losing lines from the bottom of the page and this can be easy to miss during output for press.
I've checked, and all staff are following workflow, and updating assignments - so it's not human error (as far as I can see).
Is this happening to anyone else? And is there a fix for it? The only one I can think of is to add more paragraph styles with different trackings etc, but this is not ideal and does not cover all the variables.
We are using CS4, and the Snow Leopard platform – Please help!

As an update to this, I have found what I believe is the cause, and, hopefully a fix, to this problem.
The cause seems to be that in the original Quark template, the font has a horizontal scale setting of 95%. When the template is converted to InDesign, everything looks fine. However, the font doesn't seem to be recognised as a true font, and this has resulted in the word and character spacing looking completely different between InCopy and InDesign. This has been causing problems such as;
1. Headings showing in one line in InCopy but flowing onto two lines in the InDesign file
2. Body text showing completely different spacing throughout - causing uneven window and orphans and resulting in paragraphs being in different places in the InDesign and the InCopy files. This has made it impossible for the editors to fit copy on page.
Note that any written changes by the editor (ie, change to the words) has worked fine.
The fix seems to be to go back to the original template in Quark, and make sure all the font/text settings in the paragraph and character styles are set at 100%. Then make the template conversion again. I have run some testing this afternoon, and everything seems to be running ok now - touch wood!
Thought I'd send an update anyway in case anyone has the same problem.

For my personal use, I did not a need to join Creative Cloud. Have you any suggestions for a work-around?

If I don't know how to use mini bridge in Photoshop and InDesign.

I tried to use mini bridge from photoshop and inDesign both but unsuccessfully. Displays message "Waiting for Bridge CS5..." and it seems for hours and hours but not working... .
But Adobe Bridge is working perfectly. Does anyone has the same problem?

So, I have the same problem with the mini bridge not loading. I noticed it also wouldn't load at my school on their Mac computers, too. I wondered if it had anything to do with me only having the free trial but the school's computer isn't free trial. I looked at the two solutions you've provided.
1. When I went to the following...
Win 64 bit machines: \Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SwitchBoard\SwitchBoard.exe
There was no SwitchBoard folder, or SwitchBoard.exe on my computer anywhere... (Windows 8 64 bit)
2. I then tried to see about your second solution and followed the link... it doesn't support my computer version ><
So I'm not really sure what to do since I need to get this working in order to complete my class assignment.... I am using the free trial at the moment but plan to buy the monthly plan through Adobe Creative Cloud for Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.

Generally this should work, but of course there may be occasional compatibility issues across the different programs and their different versions.

Telugu - Use font in Word and InDesign

For work purposes, I have to create a bilingual brochure (English - Telugu) but I'm having huge problems with finding a font that works... It needs to be usable in both Word and InDesign and also able to combine Telugu with English. Normally we use Frutiger and Meta, so any font that suits these styles would be great. Hopefully you can help me out, your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading my question!

If you're using CS4 with the hidden "World-Ready Composer" functionality (read this article), you might be able to get Telugu to render correctly. Otherwise, you're probably out of luck. Telugu requires support for rendering methods that aren't in any other version of InDesign, so I doubt that your probem is really to be found in the fonts, as you suspect.
In languages that InDesign doesn't support, I sometimes have success back-converting to ancient pre-Unicode fonts, but I've never done so with Telugu, so I can't say for sure that such a solution would work for you.

If I switch my installed PS6, Illustrator and InDesign over to the Cloud, will I have to pay monthly even though I already purchased the programs? And will I then be able to use the program on another computer when I sign into my adobe account?

If I switch my installed PS6, Illustrator and InDesign over to the Cloud (from an installed program with the code, like Adobe used to do it), will I have to pay monthly even though I already purchased the programs? And will I then be able to use the program on another computer when I sign into my adobe account? I know how to switch it over, I just want to make sure I won't also have to pay monthly even though it's already been purchased.

Your purchase of licensed version of Adobe applications does apply to CC subscriptions. If you subscribe you will pay for the subscription on whatever periodic basis you choose (monthly versus annually).

Have purchased Adobe CC today. How many more apps I can use apart from photoshop, illustrator and indesign. Can I use all the listed apps within the membership fees charged per month? Or I will be charged extra?

Slow Using Photoshop and InDesign

We have several 2GHz C2D Mac minis with 2GB RAM running Leopard. The users are complaining that using Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS2 is slow. Is this to be expected? Would it be better to upgrade the PowerMac G5's we also have to Leopard, and use the software on that instead? Thanks.

Photoshop and InDesign both need a lot of room in RAM to run at a decent speed. Between just what the OS and Photoshop need, 2 GB of RAM isn't enough. You're getting a lot of page outs to disk in order to run these apps. Even worse if you have both PS and InDesign running at the same time. You really need at least 4 GB of RAM to see good performance.
So yes, since the Mac Minis can't have more than 3 GB of RAM installed, you'd be much happier with the performance of these apps on the G5s. But you'll still have to have more than 2 GB of RAM installed, or you essentially won't see any difference. You would want to have at least 4 GB of RAM installed on the G5s.

InCopy 5.5 and InDesign 6.0 compatible?

Hello – is InCopy 5.5 and InDesign 6.0 compatible?

Adobe CS told you it was compatible in this regard? That is completing incorrect.
About all you could do is create content in InCopy CS5.5 that would be readably by InDesign CS6.
In short, time to upgrade InCopy. FWIW, it’s only $45.
