Questions

When I open an InDesign document in InCopy, I get a warning that says, “The Document uses fonts that are either currently unavailable on your computer or no longer supported by InDesign. Closing the dialog box will substitute the missing fonts with the default font until the original fonts become available. Adobe fonts couldn’t find any matching fonts.”I go into the “Replace Fonts” and when I try to replace the fonts I have an error box show up that says, “The selected font is applied to hidden conditional text, or applied to text in a locked story, or is part of a composite font. Some instances of the font may not be found, or may not be changed.” In Creative Cloud added fonts, the font that has an error says, “Font Conflict. A font with the same name is already installed...” I’ve tried following the troubleshoot guide, readding, uploading, restarting Creative Clound and signing in and out. I’ve looked for the font in C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\CoreSync\plugins\livety

I’m basically asking why do I (a designer that uses InDesign) have Adobe InCopy if I won’t use it. I use InDesign. The answer I keep getting online is that Adobe InCopy is used so that my editor can edit my InDesign files. But I can’t share my copy of InCopy with my editor, correct? She’ll need to buy her own copy of InCopy. So what’s the point of giving it to me then in Adobe CC? It’s of no use to me, correct? Or am I missing something?

how can I convert a pdf documenht into a hyperlink?

How can I download InCopy and InDesign versions 2024? From Creative Cloud, I can only download 2025 and 2026. I absolutely need to install the 2024 version of both.

I do medical journals, loving the idea of being able to send proofs back to editors and authors (many of them) without the impracticality of them needing a CC license to use InCopy. In testing it myself I have some ideas, hopefully they're already being thought about. Please keep it where someone I send a proof do does not need to create an adobe account or download anything to their computer. For customers who aren't tech-savvy, with secure/government emails and computers, etc. this would be a roadblock.Allow comments similar to Acrobat so questions/suggestions can be added without changing anything.Tracking changes, not just overwriting? If an author makes 58 changes in a 30 page document, unless I'm missing something I don't think there's a way for me to see what they did or where, and quickly revert it if I don't approve it. Flying blind if they change anything.There is currently no side scrolling. Opening 2 page spread documents, it defaults to viewing the first page centered

Does anyone know of a script that will allow you to export Incopy stories from an Indesign Book containing multiple INDD files?

When opening a document in In Copy, I end up on the masters page from my designer's In Design document. I do not see the page 8 for example. Also I only have the possibility to view by Galley view, the others are not available. Also, When I double click on the file, it does not open anymore, it only download on my machine. Anyone can help me please?

InCopy Version 20.5 (always using the latest version)MacBook Pro Every time I try to open .indd files with InCopy, InCopy doesn't open. I have to uninstall and re-install InCopy from Creative Cloud, and then it mysteriously works. But when I quit, and later on attempt to open another .indd file with InCopy, it's another round of uninstall and re-install. Is there a better way forward? When I connect to our work server from home, the issue is even worse. InCopy will either not open, or it opens the file and freezes. I'm forced to Force Quit and I cannot work on any InCopy files at all from home. Would love any advice or help, other than uninstall/re-install. Thank you!-F

I'm interested in setting up an InCopy/InDesign workflow. Our company uses Widen/Acquia DAM to store our files. Our first experiments have failed, and I suspect it's because Widen/Acquia doesn't support .idlk files. I'm wondering if there might be an alternative way to set up a check in/check out process using Widen/Acquia. Has anyone here successfully created an InCopy/InDesign workflow with Widen/Acquia? And if so, how? Thanks!

Hello!I'm setting up a synchronized workflow using InDesign and InCopy with my team. Our team works remotely using WorkDrive and OneDrive.In my research, I saw that there's a web version of InCopy, but I haven't been able to access it or even export my work as instructed in Adobe Help. Please help me understand how to make this workflow work under my remote work circumstances.Thank you!

OS: MacID version: 20.5IC version: 20.5Hello, all. For the past three months we've been running the simplified workflow where the designer exports ICMLs to a shared cloud server (we're using Egnyte) and IC users open the INDD to work on.Today for the first time, on a particularly complex file, we're running into what I see from searching the forum has been a bug in at least one previous version of ID — the first time the designer opens the INDD after a series of edits in IC and is prompted to update links, the links to all files updated in that process are missing from the Assignments panel the next time someone opens the file in IC.Thus far, at least, the stories do remain editable even if they can't be seen in the panel — editors can still right-click in the story in the layout and check it out/in, and their changes are subsequently able to be incorporated the next time the designer opens the INDD and updates links.I've also confirmed that if I right-click on Unassigned InCopy Conten

We are a publications office using full Creative Cloud. Up until about six months ago, we had a seamless workflow, using Google Drive:  1. In-house designers create magazine layouts in InDesign and set them up so the writers/editors can "check out" text boxes for editing/updating copy. The designers leave the file alone while editorial works on it.2. Writers/editors open the layout files with InCopy and make edits to the text using the "checkout/check-in" and "save all content" features. Layout changes are given directly to the designer to make in the InDesign file. The editors save and close out of the InCopy file.3. The designer opens the layout file in InDesign and updates all links. The updated file reflects all the content changes. And we go on from there. Now we're encountering problems with the ID and IC files syncing. Sometimes all the content changes appear in the InDesign file seamlessly. But, more often, only some or none of

Hello! I am running into an issue where I am trying to save over and replace an InCopy file with the same name, but every time I do it adds a dash at the end of the name and thus changes the link. I for sure am hitting yes when it asks if i want to replace when I am trying to save over, so I am not sure why it is changing the name and keeping both files. 

We have experienced workflow disruptions due to the "Hide Notes" function in InCopy. Is there any way that to disable the "Hide Notes" function entirely? Some teammates are accidentally toggling this feature, causing all notes to disappear without a clear visual indicator of the change. This results in confusion and wasted time as they try to figure out how to restore the notes. Thanks!

Hi - I have an editor using the latest version InCopy on a Mac running macOS 15.6. In the past, we used a PostScript Type 1 Font called Whitney. We stopped using this as Adobe no longer support it and now use a paid version of Whitney, which is a True Type font. In the past 2 days, when she opens an InDesign file in InCopy, she gets a message stating that the file is missing several Whitney T1 fonts. The message says they may be missing because they are 'no longer available’. The next step was to go back to the designer. She opens the InDesign file and now sees the same message about T1 fonts. So, she fixes the problem, and the message no longer occurs. Now, when the designer opens the same file, it looks fine... but if she makes any change and saves it, the next time she opens the file, she's back to getting the same message about unavailable Whitney (T1) fonts. Any insight would be appreciated, as this makes no logical sense. Thanks.

Got a weird one. Suddenly inCopy (and inDesign) are splitting a font that I've used regularly in the past into pieces, rendering them unusable. Minion Variable Concept, which originally just had Regular, Italic, etc. options. now has a slew of "Text-9.500" etc. options, each relating to a different font size. See attached. So now when I open a file that uses these, all these "Text-10.000" etc. fonts are missing.  My designer is using the same version of inDesign that I have and the same fonts (he re-sent me the font files, just to confirm) and has no issues. Weirder, if I open an old .indd from a project three months ago, which worked perfectly at the time, I get the same font errors. Even worse: This seems to be making both inDesign and inCopy crash.  I've reinstalled both inCopy and inDesign multiple times, reinstalled the font, tried multiple different files, etc. No luck. macOS 15.5, tried it in inCopy 20.4.1 and 20.4. Has anyone seen an issue like this bef

Hello, we will be starting to work with InCopy with our team. The way I am going to work with my team is, I, the designer, will be creating the file. Then I am saving the stories on a server we all have access. Then reviewers will open the InDesign file in InCopy, make their edits, and then I will be applying them on InDesign. The only thing right now is not working for me is the Track Changes panel. I have these questions if someone can please help me:- Do we have to select "Track Changes" in InCopy everytime we check out and edit a text box? - When I open the file on InDesing, I have the Track Changes panel, but can't use any of the tools (to move to next change, to accept...) So I only can update when I go to links and update the link (icml)I appreciate any suggestions

When InDesign crashes, it saves something to make the current edits recoverable. Does InCopy make a recoverable file when it crashes, to presrve the latest edits?

Hola a todos: Podría escribir este texto en inglés, para ampliar mi búsqueda, pero decidí escribirlo en español para encontrar una respuesta dentro de la comunidad hispanohablante. Con mi equipo deseamos trabajar con InCopy pero aparentemente no es tan popular. No hay demasiados cursos de InCopy ni tutores que puedan despejar dudas. ¿Es acaso muy complejo el trabajo con este programa? Me encantaría conocer sus experiencias, buenas o malas, con este programa.  De antemano, gracias.

Bonjour,Nous osuhaitons pouvoir utiliser Incopy en mode serveur via le Web.C'est à dire que nos clients puissent corriger directement sur nos mises en pages sans devoir leut-r envoyer un fichier mais juste un lien.Comment faire ?Merci pour vos réponses

For example, I have a paragraph that I reuse in multiple InDesign files for the same product. I would like to create one parent link that is assigned to each of those InDesign files, so that when I make a change I only make it once. Is this a capability of InCopy? Or is this something that InDesign is capable of? (I realize this is the advantage of having a CCMS, which we don't have yet.) 

Hi, I am trying to open an .icma-File, which was assigned to me. But it will not open. I get this error-message:"The document cannot be opened. You may not have the appropriate access rights, or the file is already open. If multiple users have access, close the file and enable write protection for the file in Windows Explorer."I am the only one having the file open. Opening it with write protection also does not work. Do you have any ideas what causes this problem and how to fix it?Thanks, Veronika

Hi,We are running Creative Cloud Desktop and InCopy on a Microsoft RDS server farm for our approx 150 incopy users.The setup works impeccably except for one annoying issue;Because we work in a virtual environment with load balancing the users can be directed to different servers when we log on.In this environment, we are using VHD-based user profiles, meaning that each user's profile is stored on a virtual hard disk (VHD), which is dynamically attached to the server they log into within the RDS farm.The issue arises because Adobe identifies each server as a new device based on server name, IP address, and network adapter. Even though the user's VHD profile remains the same, Adobe perceives it as a new device each time the user switches between servers in the farm. As a result, Adobe requires a new login session upon each connection. Surely, we can't be the only ones using the teams software in this manner...Does anyone have en idea how to solve the issue? Thank

This is not the first time this has happened to me, but the problem went away for a good while. Now it's suddenly back. Every time I type a note, it's in all caps (I don't have the caps lock button on). This is happening on two different Macs, even one that I recently completely wiped and re-loaded with Adobe software.  I can turn it back to normal if I highlight the text and either hit shift-command-k or go to the Paragraph Styles panel and select "basic paragraph," but both are a little bit of a pain. I can't find any options in the preferences section that will fix this. Does anyone have any ideas? Is there some place you can globally set paragraph styles for Notes?

Eu utilizo a fonte Poppins, da Adobe Fonts, nos meus estilos de parágrafo e crio os artigos para edição no Incopy. Ao abrir o arquivo no Incopy por terceiros, o software tenta substituir a fonte por Poppins (OTF). Alguém sabe o motivo?
