PDF Presets Feature Request for InCopy

The design team I am a part of collaborates with content creators and project specialists that sometimes need to make a simple edit and make a final PDF to file on our server.

We have specific PDF settings we would like them to use for that PDF that is to be filed. BUT they cannot access PDF presets as you can in InDesign.

We believe PDF Presets is a feature that should be added to InCopy.

Please help, Adobe. Thanks.

I doubt that will every happen. InCopy is an editorial tool, not an output tool.

The output must come from InDesign.

That said, this is not the place for feature requests. You can do that here: https://indesign.uservoice.com/

Well, if InCopy is ONLY an editorial tool, then why can it now export PDFs? And print? Any editorial tool also needs to be able to create appropriate output, doesn't it? Even a typewriter provides you some output.

I'm only asking for an expansion of a feature that already exists. As it is now, the InCopy user can select to make a PDF of either the Layout View or the Galley & Story View. The user can also select such things as Pages or Spreads, Optimize for Fast Web View, Embed Thumbnails, etc.

So, why not provide a way to load presets that can be chosen? I'm sure it's not that "simple" to do. But considering what functionality is already supplied, it seems clear that Presets could be added.

Any output from InCopy is intended for review purposes only.

I’m not saying I disagree with you. I’m trying to control your expectations. Keep in mind that many organizations would not want InCopy users doing this for final output.
