Indesign and Incopy access from browser

[jasmir26622599]

I need to access Indesign and Incopy from browser where i can create and edit documents.

You're going to need a custom workflow for this involving hosting on a server where you can install InDesign/InCopy and then access that virtually via a browser. Or use one of the pay services available that allow you to upload and work on INDD files online using their editor.

Try TruEdit from MEI.

It does but for that i need to install Indesign and Incopy on to my system. I want to access it on web only.

[BobLevine]

Perhaps you should back up and tell us exactly what you need to do.

[jasmir26622599]

I want to access,edit,create magazines on web using the third party software or a plugin which would help me to access Indesign and Incopy in the browser rather than installing it and using it from one system only.

[BobLevine]

I don’t get it. Why would that be better than using the applications?

[jasmir26622599]

I like using the application itself. But when I'm travelling or need to access in some other system I need to always install it make sure to logout from the installed system. So, I needed the portability of the software so that i can easily access it and use it without installing it, just by giving the authorized credential login of adobe. And when I have multiple user and the authors don't have the application installed in their office system and when they want to edit or create articles at home or while visiting the clients for that I need if Adobe provides any API calls for it or not. As it would be feasible for me and for company too.

[BobLevine]

That's not how this works. You can't use the software without a proper license.

Buy a laptop and install it there. You get two installations/activations with your subscription.

[jasmir26622599]

I do have licences for it. I just had a doubt whether having the licences can you provide me web access to application with my purchased licence credentials online for more than 90-100 people other than install the application. Like API call to my server inorder for me to access it.

InDesign does not have that kind of utility available. It need to be installed in the system to be used.

Hi Jasmi,

If I get it, you need to use Adobe InDesign and InCopy via web browser? Unfortunately that is not possible as hinted above by experts. You need to have the apps installed in your machine. You can however work offline as well (just need to be connect to Internet for credential verification at least once in 90 days). Hope that answers your query.

Regards,

Om
