Exported text missing Endnotes

We work with Footnotes and endnotes. And when everything is OK, after going in print, the text is exported so that the autor can edit it for a next release (Text ist law and commented law so it changes often). I was very hapy when InDesig did begin to work with endnotes but ... it does not export them. Not even in Version 15.0.1. Footnotes are exported, endnotes are missing. This is a big bug or an even bigger oversight.

Correct answer Frans v.d. Geest

Doc and RTF are not suitable for roundtripping. If you can not use InCopy but still want a Doc(x) roundtrip take a look at Wordsflow:

Exported as what? RTF? Tagged Text? ASCII text? For your needs you need InCopy, a simple 'export' will not cut it...

Sorry! RTF, so it keeps Word formating (bold, italic, etc). And we can not use InCopy for that, the text is not edited in the company, but by many law firms, an so on. So we need DOC or RTF.

Yes, it may be a workaround but

  • it's not normal! You can export footnotes, but not endnotes? Not mentioning that I had to find out that the hard way.
  • why spend more money for a function that schuld be corectly included?

So, Adobe, when you implement something – and I realy like the fact that we have also endnotes, please do it as it has to be.

And yes, as belove mentioned, it is much easier for authors to work in Word..
