Hi,i´m curently working at a very small company and try to implement an Indesign-InCopy workflow.So far it works fine but changes i make to an Indesign Document are not reflected in the InCopy file. Example: After the intial creation of the icma file i add a couple of textframes to an allready existing task in InCopy.Indesign asks if i want to export the new settings, i want.Opening Incop the newly added textframes are not available to the editor. any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello, I have been having an issue with InCopy creating overflow where it shouldn't be. For example, if I check out a text box with 5 lines and delete a word, the last two lines disappear and I am not able to write more than 3 lines. When opening the file on other computers, every line is visible. But then once I go back to my computer the lines disappear again. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling InCopy, but the issue persisted.

I purchased Incopy - As a low cost script writing tool. Outside of the standard {Code orientated - .txt format} Why the software requires 16GB of RAM in order to function doesn't even make sense. It doesn't use GPU or any processor functions. So what's up with that ??? ... Does anyone even reply here ... {I'm not sure} 

Help me, please.Yesterday I accidentally uninstalled InCopy from my macbook, through an uninstall program. I wanted to restore it, but I couldn't find a file to reinstall it, and it's not available in My Software on the official website. The programs were downloaded to me by another person in the official Apple store.If you need more information, I will post 

Trying to implement InCopy but find when I export stories the page layout gets all jumbled. The main text boxes are now full page rather than smaller. The notes to the left of the main body (separate text box) are in the middle of the main text box, they need to stay in place and be editable .. is that possible? The main text box is a running text box story.  

I've (badly) built a script for InCopy that allows me to export multiple InDesign files as PDFs with the "Include Notes as Annotations" option checked for the PDF export.I can't figure out the right terminology to accomplish the following:1. Make it so "include notes as annotation" = true2. Make it so "view pdf after exporting" = false3. Each InDesign file is closed, either after the PDF is successfully created, or after all PDFs are successfully created.I'm using InCopy 19.1 on a MacOS, and Visual Studio Code to build the scripts.Any and all advice is welcome, thanks in advance.

Hello, I've been reading through several threads here about exporting/packaging assignments and sharing them with collaborators by email. I now know this isn't the ideal workflow.  But, I'm too far in to get out now.  I exported the assignments, packaged from InDesign and shared with my HR partner. She edited the handbook in InCopy and checked the assignment in. But, we can't package it. The menu items are 'greyed out' and unavailable.  She sent me the files I sent her and I can see her edits in InCopy. How do I get my InDesign document to update? 

Gibt es auf der Adobe Homepage ein InCopy-Handbuch als PDF zum downladen? Ich kann es nirgends finden.

Bonjour,Notre maison d'édition travaille sur différents ouvrages techniques, avec plusieurs intervenants: le graphiste avec indesign, le chef d'édition et des rédacteurs externes avec incopy. Nous aimerions éviter d'externaliser le stockage sur Dropbox ou Onedoc.Une solution d'accès par VPN sur notre serveur NAS existant est-il possible et recommandé? Quelles sont les meilleures solutions pour la synchronisation des fichiers, sans passer par l'assemblage et l'envoi par email aux rédacteurs? Merci pour votre aide et vos astuces.

All the recent changes to Cloud are great (when they work), but I don't get why the InDesing - InCopy workflow is not supported in cloud. It has completely disrupted the workflow we had in my team between content creators and designers. Everything was smooth sailing until Adobe started messing up with stuff, now we're forced to look for third party solutions which is not great because it means further expense on our end. Seriously. I don't get it. Our content creators all cancelled their subscriptions because they are now useless to them, and Adobe doesn't seem to be giving viable solutions.

When I open my icma files in InCopy to check the designer's layouts, I'm bumping into a problem -- specifically with photos. On a couple of occasions, the designer has had to change a photo in the layout. She claims the images are displaying correctly in her InDesign file; however, I can only see the old photos, not the replacements in InCopy. The text portions of the layout seem to be behaving and updating appropriately. Why would certain photos not be updating in InCopy? What should we be checking to fix this? InCopy: version 19.3OS: Sonoma 14.4.1 (on a MacBook Pro)

Let's start this post off with an image:My primary query: How do I change the measurement units for the Edit Stroke Style panel to inches? I have already tried the non-helpful step of Edit > Preferences > Units & Increments. In that panel, the only choice that comes remotely close is "Other Units", from which I can choose either Points or (of all things) Millimeters. Really. In an application which also employs points, picas, and inches in the same document. I know that changing the units to inches in the Edit Stroke Style panel is possible, because in this video: Create New Stroke Styles in InDesign cc (youtube.com) Amy's panel displays only inches (the panel in question displays beginning at 2:22). Even if I need a custom plug-in, that will do. If that is a solution, please include a link to the plug-in in your reply. Thank you.-------------------------------------------------------An aside: I have spent nearly my entire desktop publishing career (about

In Incopy when viewing the document, if a duplicate headshot is being used next to a class description, the headshot is showing as a box that is grayed out and when printing inhouse on printer, the gray box prints versus actual photo - any suggestions? We have checked our viewer display performance settings and on typical or high quality display still grayed out.

Hi. Does anyone have tips for making it easier to select and edit text frames in InCopy? We've got lots of overlapping frames, and it's tricky to tell which one we're working on. Any advice for clearer frame selection or switching?Would love to hear your tricks or tools that make this smoother. Thank you!Angie

Hello, we are having an issue with InCopy. We've saved the indesign file with Assignment in a central location and Editor 1 can successfully edit. After editing they check the file back in and save and close the file. When Editor 2 opens the same file afterwards to edit, they cannot see the changes made by Editor 1. Are we missing a step here? 

Hello, I am encountering layout and display issues in Adobe InCopy that seem to be unique to my installation. When I open certain chapters or sections of documents, the layout appears messy, and the text does not display correctly. Strangely, my colleagues, who are using the same fonts, and documents, are not experiencing these problems. In addition, it just happened for no reason because I had been working smoothly the last few weeks ago. I have taken the following steps to address the issue without success:Reinstall the programRestart PC I have attached screenshots illustrating the issue for your reference.- Picture 1 is what my friends seen- Picutre 2 is mine (you will see the layout in paragraph and infographic are messy and unstructured) Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I appreciate your prompt attention to this matter. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Suphanut 

Hello, I've been having issues with InCopy 2024 freezing and then corrupting files. First, the program freezes, leaving me to force quit it. Then, when I try to reopen the file, it can't open it. When I try to open a new, different file, InCopy also corrupts that file. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app, trying it on a different computer, and deleting all preferences. My current solution is to use InCopy 2023.  My coworkers are also having issues with InCopy corrupting our files. It's really frustrating. They need to patch this ASAP.

I hope I can explain this properly. I am working on a postcard at my job. I added all stories to an assignemt for the writer to review in incopy. Now, she is unable to check out the assignments. When I open my indesign file, it says the assignment is checked out by another user, but the user is me. It says they are checked out by me but I can not make changes to them or check them back in. We use this process all the time and have never seen this issue before. It's happening with multiple indesign files even when I delete and redo the incopy assignments/stories. Image attached. I am working on the latest mac software and all of my programs are up to date.

We are working on a magazine. My colleague sent me zip files with updated versions and when I opened them in InCopy, his changes were not there, even though he could see them. I have deleted all old files from my computer - but it's like it's opening cached versions. Is there a fix?

Hi, I'm working on a prospectus with my team and using InCopy with them for the first time. One of the copy editors has encountered this issue where she can't check out a frame and message says You are currently editing 'filename' in another frame. Screenshot below of the message. The text frame is a threaded frame to another on the following page as its a continuous table but she gets the same message on the frame too. She's working form the ICMA assignment file I emailed to her. I'm aware this isn't the best workflow, the project team didn't want to use dropbox due to a whole host of IT issues we are having at the moment. She using InCopy Version 16.0.1.Does anyone know whats going on because I can't work it out for the life of me? And she can't package the file for InDesign to send back to me until it's checked in. Thanks so much for any help in advance!  

Buen dia comunidad, no puedo usar los pictogramas en photoshop 24.0 (Utilizo esta versión ya que mi PC las versiones posteriores las corre con mucha inestabilidad). He tratado de mil maneras usar los pictogramas y no he podido, les adjunto evidencia del panel que aparece (siempre lo he utilizado y no habia presentado falla hasta ahora) al momento de hacer click en una variación de la letra no me deja aplicarla (se queda la misma que trae por defecto (la normal por asi decirlo), en verdad que me molesta el no poder encontrar una solución ya que en ocasiones es vital para algun diseño poder utilizar los pictogramas o carácteres especiales para las letras. 

InCopy does not currently support the View or Editing of Alt Text. This is essential for editors as all PDF need to be accessible to all users. This is an urgent feature request.Is there a plugin available to view alt-text in InCopy?

Estoy trabajando por primera vez con InCopy y me sucede que cuando paso la Asignación y el editor hace los cambios, al abrir el archivo nuevamente en InDesign, me cambia las tipografías. Cómo podría solucionar esto? Al Editor le sucede lo mismo. Al abrir la Asignación en InCopy, a pesar de tener cargadas las fuentes en su equipo, le cambia las tipografías del documento.
