Browse, sync, and manage assets

Your Adobe Creative Cloud account comes with online storage so that your files are available to you anywhere and on any device or computer. You can preview many creative file types directly in a web browser on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. These file types include: PSD, AI, INDD, JPG, PDF, GIF, PNG, Photoshop Touch, Ideas, and others.

Adobe Creative Cloud for desktop keeps all the files in sync. Any additions, modifications, or deletions are reflected on

all connected computers and devices. For example, if you upload an .ai file using the Creative Cloud Assets page, it is automatically downloaded on all connected computers.

Browse assets

Your Creative Cloud assets include files synced with your desktop, assets created using Creative Cloud enabled mobile apps, and Creative Cloud libraries. You can browse all of these assets using the Creative Cloud Assets page, which organizes assets as follows:

Files shows assets synced with Creative Cloud Files directory on your desktop

Mobile Creations shows assets created using Creative Cloud enabled mobile apps

Delete files

You can delete files from the Creative Cloud website or Adobe Touch Apps. You can also use the OS commands to delete files from the Creative Cloud Files directory on your desktop. All file deletions are synced with your account, and files are archived in Creative Cloud. The original files are always on your computer with a copy available on Creative Cloud so that you can access it anywhere.

Last updated 6/13/2015

Creative Cloud

Archived files continue to occupy online storage. You can permanently delete or restore files from the Archive folder. Permanently deleting the files frees up the storage quota.

Permanently delete or restore files

Deleting assets permanently is a two-step process:

You can view your storage status from the Files tab under Assets panel of the Creative Cloud for desktop app or on the Settings page of the

Creative Cloud Activity page.

Last updated 6/13/2015

Creative Cloud

The Creative Cloud syncs up to 1 GB of overflow from any device. After that, the desktop app stops syncing new files and notifies that you are over quota. A red exclamation point marks any files that are unable to upload. You can still move, rename, or delete files. To continue to sync files, permanently delete other files to free up space.

Note: A

small portion of storage is used for administrative purposes. Therefore, the actual storage space is slightly less than

allocated. It varies from 100 KB to 500 KB based on number of user files.

Creative Cloud Extract

Use Creative Cloud Extract to make the Photoshop design to code workflow easier. Extract simplifies the process for both web designers and web developers, and greatly improves the efficiency in transforming a web design to workable code.

Photoshop compositions are a widely used method for sharing design specifications to web developers, who then need to convert the design intent or mobile design. Production designers then prepare the PSD file for developers, where they slice assets and create redline specs. Web developers are tasked with taking those design elements and assets and turn them into code.

Extract reinvents this workflow, enabling web designers to export optimized assets in record time in Photoshop CC, and share their PSDs with developers via Creative Cloud Assets so they can unlock key design info and download assets within their browsers. Developers can then access and apply this information as they code in Dreamweaver CC.

Last updated 6/13/2015

Creative Cloud

Extract is powered by Creative Cloud, and is available to you at various places in the PSD design to code workflow. Using Extract gives you the freedom to choose wherever you're the most comfortable with the tools and technologies, and enables you to transform your design to reality.

• Designers can work in the familiar environment of Photoshop CC to define and extract image assets from layers or

layer groups.

• Web developers can access the PSD file on Creative Cloud Assets and use Extract to export image assets,

measurements, and CSS styles. These assets and CSS styles can then be used to turn design comps into code.

• Web designers and developers can use Extract from within Dreamweaver, a complete self-contained solution that

offers contextual code hinting, assets extraction, and more directly within the coding environment.

Extract assets in Photoshop

Designers who create Photoshop comps can quickly define and pack layer groups, using a simple, visual interface built on top of Adobe Generator. This dramatically speeds up production time so designers can spend more time designing.

Extract in Dreamweaver

Web designers and developers can now view PSDs in Dreamweaver and use contextual code hinting to easily define fonts, colors, and gradients in their CSS. They can also drag and drop optimized images into the Live View surface, copy text, and more.

Extract in Creative Cloud Assets

Web designers can share PSDs directly from Creative Cloud Assets in the browser, so that developers can quickly extract design information — colors, gradients, fonts, text, CSS, and more — that helps them turn the comp into code. Plus, they can export optimized PNG, SVG, and JPG images for the web.

Extract for Brackets (Preview)

Extract integration in Brackets brings the power of Extract to a lightweight, modern code editor. Using Extract for Brackets (Preview), you can pull out design information from a PSD as clean, minimal CSS via contextual code hints. You can also extract layers as images, use information from the PSD to define preprocessor variables, and easily get dimensions/distances between objects.

You can further simplify your design workflow by using other Creative Cloud services to keep your assets such as files, fonts, and colors in sync so that everyone has access to the latest designs.

Sync and store PSD files and extracted images in Creative Cloud Assets, so that you have access to the updated files on all your devices.

Use Creative Cloud Assets to share folders, so that the entire team is working on the same set of files. You can also review and add comments to files. Creative Cloud Assets also provides basic version control.

Creative Cloud provides access to fonts from Typekit, and members can download fonts from Typekit as required by the design.

Libraries support color data for a single swatch or color themes. Libraries only support process colors. Spot colors are not supported and are added as process colors to Libraries.

Can I reuse any asset stored in Libraries across Creative Cloud desktop applications?

Most assets are reusable between the desktop applications. Photoshop layer styles are a notable exception; they are currently reusable only in Photoshop.

Creative Cloud

If you use an InDesign text style asset in Illustrator or Photoshop, those applications will attempt to map the properties of the asset with the properties for text styles available in the host application. Any properties not found in the host application are ignored.

Where are the assets stored?

Your assets are stored locally on your device and synchronized with Creative Cloud.

Can I share a library with others?

Yes . Se e .

Some mobile apps integrated with C collaboration on libraries. Also, any libraries shared with you are not available when you're working within these mobile apps. However, if you shared a library with other users, that library is available to you in Creative Cloud desktop applications as well as in mobile apps.

Do I need a Creative Cloud membership?

You'll need either a free or a paid Creative Cloud membership to use Creative Cloud Libraries.

Where can I learn more about Creative Cloud Libraries?

Share files and folders

Creative Cloud Assets lets you share public links to files and folders to gather quick feedback and work more efficiently

with others. When you share a link with someone, they can view a high fidelity preview of the assets directly in the web b

rowser, without having to install Creative Cloud apps or sign in to the website. In addition to viewing the assets, users

can write comments or download a copy of the files (if you permit them).

Public sharing of files and folders ensures that you retain complete control over your content. Recipients get read-only a

ccess to your assets, which means they cannot upload, update, or delete them. The shared assets are accessed using a unique Adobe.ly short URL that you send via email or copy/paste to send. At any time, you can turn the URL off to revoke access.

Galley, Story, and Layout view overview

InCopy offers three views of a story: Galley, Story, and Layout. These terms correspond to the terms used in traditional publishing.

Galley view Displays text with line breaks established in the corresponding Adobe InDesign® document. If text doesn’t

fit into the assigned layout space, an overset indicator marks the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the space. Although you can use InCopy to apply formatting, such as paragraph indents and font size, these formats don’t appear in Galley view.

Story view Displays text in a continuous stream, wrapping the text at the document window. Story view doesn’t show

accurate line endings, so you can concentrate on content. However, if text doesn’t fit into the assigned layout space, an overset indicator marks the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the space. In Story view, the information area displays only paragraph styles. Line numbers aren’t visible in Story view.

Story view opens by default when you create a new InCopy story.

To change the default view for new documents, close all documents and select the view you want as the default from the View menu.

Layout view Displays text as it will print, with all formatting. When you use InCopy to synchronize with an InDesign

layout, you can view text in context with all other page elements in the InDesign document—frames, columns, graphics, and so on.

About Galley view

Galley view provides an environment for efficient text processing; text is easy to read and annotate. You can also use Galley view to perform copyfitting and other production-related tasks.

When you open an InDesign document in InCopy, working in Galley view is analogous to working with galley proofs in

traditional typesetting. Within the viewing area, the text wraps exactly as it will in the final InDesign layout, and all text is displayed in one column, regardless of how many columns exist in the layout. Page breaks, frame breaks, and column breaks are shown by a line with the words “Page break,” “Frame break,” or “Column break” in the center of the line.

Note: W break with the highest priority is displayed. Page breaks have the highest priority, and column breaks have the lowest.

Galley view includes the Copyfit break feature, which indicates the point at which the InCopy text exceeds the layout s

By default, Galley view displays text at 12 points. You can cha or edit. You can also change the background and font colors.

Note: T

The Galley & Story Appearance toolbar at the bottom of the workspace controls several settings that you might want t

hen multiple breaks are represented by a single boundary, such as a page break coinciding with a frame break, the

pace assigned for it in InDesign.

Customize Galley and Story views

You can customize Galley and Story views in a variety of ways.

Change the Galley view display settings

❖ Select an option from the Galley & Story Appearance toolbar. (If the toolbar is hidden, choose Window > Galley &

Story Appearance. The toolbar appears at the bottom of the application window by default.)

Note: I

t’s important to understand the difference between changing the font display size and applying text formatting. Both can be done in Galley view. Changing the font display size doesn’t affect the way text looks in a publication, whereas applying text formatting does change the text appearance in Layout view and in the published document.

Set Galley view display preferences

1 Choose Edit > Preferences > Galley & Story Display (Windows) or InCopy > Preferences > Galley & Story Display

(Mac OS).

2 In the Text Display Options section, specify the following:

Tex t Color Controls text color in the viewing area. Black is the default text color.

Override Preview Font Enables you to display one additional font using the correct typeface in the Galley and Story

view. InCopy automatically displays the Symbol, Zapf Dingbats, Webdings, and Wingdings® fonts accurately, overriding the display font you’ve chosen.

Enable Anti-aliasing Smooths the jagged edges of type and bitmap images by softening the color transition between

edge pixels and background pixels. Because only the edge pixels change, no detail is lost. You can choose the level of anti-aliasing to apply. The Default option uses shades of gray to smooth text. The LCD Optimized option uses colors, rather than shades of gray, and works best on light-colored backgrounds with black text. The Soft option uses shades of gray, but produces a lighter, fuzzier appearance.

Show or hide paragraph break marks

You can show or hide paragraph break marks in Galley and Story view. An arrow symbol indicates the start of a new paragraph.

❖ Choose View > Show Paragraph Break Marks or View > Hide Paragraph Break Marks.

Use the vertical depth ruler

When you type text, it’s sometimes useful to know the physical depth of a story as it will appear in Layout view, in addition to the number of lines. The vertical depth ruler draws a ruler along the left edge of the Galley and Story views. Each tick mark in the ruler aligns to the bottom of a line of text. A value is displayed every five tick marks to show the total vertical depth of the text to that point. The depth is updated dynamically when layout composition for the portion of the document is complete.

The depth measurement uses the vertical units setting in Units & Increments preferences.

Last updated 6/13/2015

Workspace

Note: To aid in copyfitting, the depth of overset text is also calculated and displayed.

1 Click the Galley or Story tab at the top of the editing area.

2 Do either of the following:

• To show or hide the depth ruler, choose View > Show/Hide Depth Ruler.

• To show or hide the information column, choose View > Show/Hide Info Column.

Layout view overview

In Layout view, you see text and other elements exactly as they are formatted and positioned in an InDesign document. Stories are laid out in frames, just as they appear in InDesign.

If you work with a linked story—a managed story within an open InDesign document or assignment file—you cannot modify the story layout with InCopy. You can work only with the text and text attributes.

If you work with a stand-alone InCopy document—an individual InCopy document that isn’t within an open InDesign document or assignment file—you can work with the text and text attributes, and you can change the page size using the Document Setup command.

Layout view offers more tools and View-menu commands than the other views. You can use the Hand tool, the Zoom tool, and the Zoom commands to view a spread at various magnifications. You can also use various layout aids, such as rulers, document grids, and baseline grids.

Note: These viewing options don’t affect formatting. For example, zooming in to enlarge your view of the page doesn’t change the way the story appears in InDesign or when printed.

About frames

In the Layout view of a document in progress, you see one or more boxes on the page. These nonprinting boxes might contain text, graphics, or nothing. The boxes represent frames—spaces in the layout reserved for specific elements. Each frame is defined to contain either text or a graphic. Non-managed stories in an InDesign document or in an assignment file are dimmed so that they can be identified easily.

Tex t f rames Control which stories appear where, and how much page area they cover. For linked stories, frames are

defined by the InDesign user. If multiple frames are set aside for a story, the frame configuration determines how the story text flows through the layout.

Graphics frames Can function as borders and background, and can crop or mask graphics. You can work with graphics

inside frames in InCopy, and you can see the graphics frames from InDesign layouts when you work with linked documents. You can also work with the frames of inline graphics (embedded in text), but you cannot work with other graphics frames. (See

Empty frames Are placeholders. You can distinguish empty text frames from empty graphics frames by their

appearance. An empty box represents an empty text frame; a box with an X across it indicates an empty graphics frame. You can add text to an empty text frame only if the frame is associated with the story exported to InCopy from InDesign. You can also import or paste graphics into an empty graphics frame in InCopy.

Recovery and undo

Recover documents

InCopy guards your data against unexpected power or system failures using an automatic recovery feature. Automatically recovered data exists in a temporary file that is separate from the original document file on disk. Under normal circumstances you don’t need to think about automatically recovered data, because any document updates stored in the automatic recovery file are automatically added to the original document file when you choose the Save or Save As command or exit from InCopy normally. Automatically recovered data is important only if you’re unable to save successfully before an unexpected power or system failure.

Even though these features exist, you should save your files or system failures.

Find recovered documents

1 Restart your computer.

2 Start InCopy .

If automatically recovered data exists, InCopy automatically displays the recovered document. The word [R

ecovered] appears after the filename in the title bar of the document window to indicate that the document

contains unsaved changes that were automatically recovered.

Note: I

f InCopy fails after attempting to open a document using automatically recovered changes, the automatically recovered data may be corrupted.

3 Do one of the following:

• For Adobe InCopy® files linked to an InDesign publication, choose File > Save.

• For stand-alone InCopy files, choose File >Save As, specify a location and a new filename, and click Save. The

ve As command creates a new file that includes the automatically recovered data.

• To discard automatically recovered changes and use the most recent version of the document that was explicitly

saved to disk before the failure occurred, close the file without saving it and open the file on disk, or choose Fi

2 Under Document Recovery Data, click Browse (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS).

3 Specify the new location for the recovered document, click Select (Windows) or Choose (Mac OS), and then click

OK.

Undo mistakes

If necessary, you can cancel a lengthy operation before it’s completed, undo recent changes, or revert to a previously saved version. You can undo or redo up to several hundred of the most recent actions (the amount is limited by the amount of RAM available and the kinds of actions you performed). The series of actions is discarded when you choose the Save As command, close a document, or when you exit from the program.

❖ Do one of the following:

• To undo the most recent change, choose Edit > Undo [action]. (You cannot undo certain actions, such as

crolling.)

• To redo an action, choose Edit > Redo [action].

Moving through documents

Scrolling through documents

You can use the scroll bars (along the bottom and right sides of the InCopy window) or scroll with a mouse wheel or sensor in any view.

You can also use the Page Up, Page Down, and arrow keys on the keyboard to move through a story. In Layout view, p

ressing Page Up or Page Down shifts to the next or previous page in the layout. In Galley or Story view, Page Up and Page Down shift the view by one screen; the view doesn’t necessarily go to the next page break. The Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys move the insertion point within the copy and scroll the view as necessary so that you can always see the insertion point.

Move through a document with the Hand tool

Some options for moving around within a story depend on whether you’re working in Galley, Story, or Layout view. In Galley and Story view, you must use the scroll bars to see text that doesn’t fit in the view. In Layout view, you can also use the Hand tool, page buttons, and commands.

❖ In Layout view, select the Hand tool , and then drag the document to move it.

To use power zoom when the Hand tool is selected, hold down the mouse button. This technique offers a quick way to scroll through multiple document pages.

Go to another page in Layout view

❖ Do one of the following:

• Click the buttons in the status bar, as shown in the following illustration.

• Choose the page number from the pop-up menu on the status bar.

Jump to position markers

You can set a marker at a specific location in the text so that you can easily return to it using a command or shortcut. A position marker is useful if you change your place in the document to do another action, for example, to verify a fact in another area of text. A document can have only one position marker per session; inserting a marker deletes a previously placed marker. Closing a document also deletes a marker.

❖ Choose Edit > Position Marker, and do any of the following:

• To add a marker, place the insertion point in the text and then select Insert Marker.

Customizing preferences and defaults

About preferences

Preferences include settings such as panel positions, measurement options, and display options for graphics and typography.

The difference between preferences and defaults is the area to which each applies. Preference settings specify the initial appearance and behavior of certain InCopy features. Default settings apply to InCopy documents.

Note: InCopy preference settings are fully scriptable. To share a consistent set of preferences across user groups, develop a script to set the preferences, and then have all users in the group run the script on their computers. Don’t copy and paste one user’s preferences files onto another computer, as doing so might cause application instability. For more information about scripting, see the InCopy Scripting Guide on the Adobe website.

Set defaults

If you change settings when no documents are open, your changes set the defaults for new documents. If a document is open when you change settings, the changes affect only that document.

Similarly, if you change settings when no objects are selected, your changes set the defaults for new objects.

Change default settings for new documents

Chapter 4: InCopy documents

Using an InCopy workflow

In Adobe® InCopy®, you can create stand-alone documents, or you can work with documents that are linked to Adobe® InDesign®. When you work with linked documents, you can have more than one InCopy story in an InDesign file, depending on your workflow system. Writers, editors, and designers can work simultaneously on the same InDesign document, without overwriting each other’s work.

About InCopy workflows

Tight integration between InCopy and InDesign enables a workflow that lets writers, editors, and designers work simultaneously on the same InDesign document, without overwriting each other’s work. The workflow system allows users to check files out and in, thereby preserving file integrity.

InCopy users can view their content contributions within t InCopy, writers and editors can take full control of text, including typesetting functions such as applying formatting styles (usually imported from InDesign), copyfitting, adjusting line and page breaks, setting hyphenation, kerning, and so on. InCopy users can import graphics to enhance their stories, and make limited transformations on those graphics, such as scaling and cropping. After the content is saved in InCopy, the document can be updated in InDesign. In addition, InDesign users can share design updates with InCopy users, ensuring they are working with the latest layouts.

Typically, a system integrator customizes the interaction between InCopy and InDesign, setting up and defining the w

orkflow system for the group. The workflow system controls file creation, synchronization (with the master server), and viewing. InCopy and InDesign work with several different workflow systems, including the built-in system enabled by the InCopy® LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins for small workgroups. For specific details about your workflow system, talk to the system integrator.

About linked (managed) documents

A linked InCopy document is a content file (either text or graphics) that is placed in an open InDesign document or assignment file. The content is associated with an InDesign layout, and therefore managed by the InDesign document. The InDesign user makes this connection from within InDesign; you cannot create or manage the link from InCopy. The InDesign connection can be made before the InCopy user starts writing and editing text, while the writing is in progress, or after the text work is finished. Once the content is linked, the InCopy user can see (but not change) the page layouts, styles, and so on, as they appear in the InDesign document.

Linked documents have the following additional characteristics:

• With a linked InCopy file, you can do just about anything that concerns the text itself. For example, you can specify

text-formatting options, change fonts, and carry out other editing and copyfitting functions within the design and formatting limits of the InDesign layout and your workflow system. You cannot, however, change the text or graphics frames, column layout, threading sequence, or any other design elements; these are set up in InDesign.

Last updated 6/13/2015

• Linked content is managed by your workflow system, where it is locked for access control. Your system might offer

everal options for opening a linked story, such as checking out each InCopy file so that you alone can work on it

or instructions, see your workflow system documentation or ask your system administrator, or check out content

using InCopy if your workflow uses the InCopy LiveEdit Workflow plug-ins.

Working with multistory files

When you work with linked documents, you can have more than one InCopy story in an InDesign file, depending on your workflow system. A file with multiple stories must be created in InDesign as either an assignment file or an InDesign file with linked InCopy content. You cannot use InCopy to create a multistory document. See your workflow system documentation for details.

Multiple stories are shown and separated in Galley and Story views with a sto provides easy access to each story created within an InDesign document.

The story separator bar contains the story title and an expand and collapse button which enables you to show or hide eac

h story. When a story is collapsed, the text is hidden and the story separator bar remains visible within the edit pane.

Transforming graphics

Position tool overview

Click the Position tool in the toolbox to manipulate selected graphics, either directly, in conjunction with a Transform command (Object > Transform) or a command on a context menu, or by using keyboard shortcuts to nudge th

e graphic within its frame.

The Position tool is dynamic, automatically changing to reflect different states:

• When placed directly over an empty graphics frame or frame with unassigned content after using the File > Place

mmand, it changes to the loaded graphics icon to indicate that you can import the graphic into that frame.

• When it’s placed directly over a graphic, it changes to the Hand tool to indicate that you can select the graphic and

manipulate it within the frame.

Last updated 6/13/2015

InCopy documents

• When placed over the bounding box handle of an inline graphic, it changes to the resize arrow to indicate that

dragging will resize the graphic.

• When placed over a graphics frame or the top-level container of nested frames, it changes to the object select icon

to indicate that you can select the graphic or nested frame under the pointer. You cannot select the frame itself.

• When placed over a text frame, it changes to the I-beam to indicate a text insertion point.

Set Position tool options

When using the Position tool to move a graphic, you can hold down the mouse button for a few seconds to display a dynamic graphics preview (a ghosted-back image) of any part of the image that is outside the frame. You can control the display and delay of the preview.

1 Double-click the Position tool in the toolbox.

2 From the Show Masked Portion of Image menu, select the rate at which the entire image will appear while dragging,

or select to turn it off entirely.

Transform graphics

You can use commands to move, scale, rotate, and shear graphics.

Move a graphic

1 Make sure the frame with the desired object is checked out to you, and then select the object using the Position tool

2 Choose Object > Transform > Move.

3 In the Move dialog box, do one of the following:

• Enter the horizontal and vertical distances that you want the graphic to move. Positive values move the object

down and to the right of the x axis; negative values move the object up and to the left.

• To move an object a precise distance and angle, enter the distance and angle for the move. The angle you enter is

calculated in degrees from the x axis. Positive angles specify a counterclockwise move; negative angles specify

lockwise move. You can also enter values between 180° and 360°; these values are converted to th

c co

rresponding negative values (for example, a value of 270° is converted to –90°).

individual applications. You can also edit metadata for files, and use Adobe Bridge to place files into yo

ocuments, projects, or compositions.

• View the links inside an InDesign or InCopy document as thumbnails while in Adobe Bridge, without actually

having to open the document.

• Perform automated tasks, such as batch commands.

• Synchronize color settings across color-managed Creative Suite components.

• Start a real-time web conference to share your desktop and review documents.

Browse for files by using Adobe Bridge

Adobe Bridge lets you efficiently organize, browse, and locate the assets you need to create content for print, the web, and mobile devices.

Include previews in saved documents

Thumbnail previews of documents and templates provide easy identification of those files in Adobe Bridge and Adobe Mini Bridge. A preview is created when you save a document or template. A document preview includes a JPEG image of only the first spread; a template preview includes a JPEG image of each page in the template. You can control the size of the preview and the number of pages to suit your needs. For example, Extra Large 1024x1024 enables you to quickly scan the contents of a page at high-resolution before you open the file.

InCopy file types

You can work with several different file types in InCopy.

InCopy content files (.icml) This is the default file type when exporting stories or graphics from InDesign, and when

saving or creating new documents using InCopy. This file type appears as InCopy Document in the Export or Save As dialog box.

InCopy CS3 Interchange files (.incx) This is a legacy file type used in InCopy CS3 and earlier.

Assignment files (.icma) These files are a subset of an InDesign document. They display content and styles, as well as

page geometry from the parent InDesign file. Assignment files can display different levels of visual fidelity (wireframe, assigned spreads, or all spreads). The InDesign user sets these options while creating the assignment file. Only InDesign users can create assignment files; only InCopy users can open assignment files.

Legacy assignment files for InCopy CS3 used the .inca extension.

Assignment package files (.icap) These files are assignment files that have been compressed in InDesign for

distribution. Assignment packages include the assignment file, the assigned story files, and any linked images.

Legacy InCopy CS3 assignment packages used the .incp extension.

Template files (.icmt) Templates are useful starting points for stand-alone documents, because you can preset them

with page size dimensions, text area dimensions, styles (paragraph and character), XML tags, swatches, pretagged sample content, and so on. Template files open as “Untitled” documents and display content and styles, but no page geometry (layout information from an InDesign document). This file type appears as InCopy Template in the Save As dialog box.

InDesign files (.indd) When viewed in InCopy, these files provide full fidelity with the InDesign document, including

content, styles, and layout of all page items. InCopy users can edit only those content items made available to them by InDesign users. Other items can be viewed but not edited.

You can open several different types of text files, including Microsoft Word, RTF, and TXT files, directly in InCopy. When you do so, the import options for that file type appear.

Rename InCopy stories

When a story is exported from InDesign, it is given a document filename with a .icml extension. InCopy automatically uses this filename as the story name that appears in the Assignments panel in InDesign and the story separator bar. Unlike the filename, the story name is embedded in the file.

1 To change a story name manually, open a story file in InCopy.

2 Choose File > Content File Info.

3 Make sure that the Description tab is selected, and then type a new name for Document Title.

Note: D

epending on the workflow processes of your system, an administrator might have to change the story name for you.

If you are unable to rename the story by following the steps above, talk to your workflow administrator.

You can also change the story name in the Assignments panel when the story is checked out. However, the filename is no

t changed on disk.

Export content to Buzzword

Buzzword is a web-based text editor that lets users create and store text files on a web server. When you export a story to Buzzword, you create a text file on the Buzzword server.

1 Select text or place the insertion point in a text frame that is part of the story you want to export.

2 Do one of the following:

• In InDesign choose File > Export For > Buzzword.

• In InCopy choose File > Export to Buzzword.

3 If you haven’t already signed in to CS Live, click Sign In, specify your e-mail address and password, and then click

4 In the Export Story For Buzzword dialog box, specify the name of the Buzzword document to be created and then

click OK.

Importing graphics

Import graphics

InCopy allows you to import graphics into existing frames. This is especially useful where content is created before the layout, because you can choose the graphics for your articles as you write.

You can import graphics into existing frames only. Only InDesign users can create graphics frames. In standalone I

nCopy documents, you can insert a graphic into the default text frame, making it an inline graphic.

InCopy supports the same wide range of graphics file forma Illustrator® 8.0 and later, bitmap formats such as PDF, PSD, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, and BMP, and vector formats such as EPS. You can even import InDesign (INDD) pages as images. Other supported formats include DCS, PICT, WMF, EMF, PCX, PNG, and Scitex CT (.SCT).

Notes on placing graphics in InCopy

When you import graphics into InCopy, keep the following in mind:

• For managed content, you must check out a frame before you can import a graphic into it.

• Once you import a graphic, you can transform (move, scale, rotate, shear) it inside the frame, fit the graphic to the

rame, and control the graphic’s appearance. You can also tag a selected frame for future XML use by selecting

commands from the context menu.

• When InDesign users create a new frame, they specify whether it is a text, graphics, or unassigned frame. InCopy

users cannot change this frame type within InCopy. Therefore, if you try to import a graphic into a text frame, fo

mple, it may appear as a large inline graphic.

exa

• You can select and modify the graphics but not the frames in InCopy, unless they are nested or inline frames. Only

nDesign users can modify graphics frames

• You can place, paste, or drag graphics into an anchored, floating, or inline graphics frame. You can import a graphic

into a text frame only if that frame has an active insertion point or is an inline graphics frame.

• If you import a graphic into a nested frame, the graphic is imported into the deepest-level frame under the pointer.

Nested frames that contain graphics, unlike top-level frames, can be selected with the Position tool. (See Position

tool overview.)

• If an effect, such as transparency, drop shadow, or feathering, is applied to a frame in InDesign, it will be visible in

n assignment file or InDesign (.indd) file open in InCopy. It will not be visible in a linked (.icml) file op

a In

Copy.

Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) import options

When you place an EPS graphic (or a file saved with Illustrator 8.0 or earlier) and select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box, you’ll see a dialog box containing these options:

Read Embedded OPI Image Links This option tells InCopy to read links from OPI comments for images included (or

nested) in the graphic.

Deselect this option if you’re using a proxy-based workflow and plan to have your service providers perform the image replacement using their OPI software. When this option is deselected, InDesign preserves the OPI links but does not read them. When you print or export, the proxy and the links are passed on to the output file.

Select this option if you’re using a proxy-based workflow and you want InDesign, instead of your service provider, to perform image replacement when you output the final file. When you select this option, the OPI links appear in the Links panel.

Also select this option when you import EPS files containing OPI comments that are not part of a proxy-based workflow. For example, if you import an EPS file containing OPI comments for an omitted TIFF or bitmap image, you’ll want to select this option so that InDesign can access the TIFF information when you output the file.

Apply Photoshop Clipping Path Regardless of whether this option is selected, a placed EPS file includes a clipping path

in InDesign. However, deselecting this option may result in a different bounding box size.

Proxy Generation This creates a low-resolution bitmap representation of an image when drawing the file to the screen.

The following settings control how the proxy will be generated:

Use TIFF Or PICT Preview Some EPS images contain an embedded preview. Select this option to generate the proxy

image of the existing preview. If a preview does not exist, the proxy will be generated by rasterizing the EPS to an offscreen bitmap.

Rasterize The PostScript Select this option to ignore the embedded preview. This option is typically slower but provides

the highest-quality results.

Note: When you import more than one single file into the same document, all instances share the proxy setting of the first instance of the imported file.

Bitmap import options

You can apply color-management options to individual imported graphics when using color-management tools with a document. You can also import a clipping path or an alpha channel saved with an image created in Photoshop. Doing so lets you directly select an image and modify its path without changing the graphics frame.

Note: Although Adobe InCopy does not include color-management options, these import options are relevant when the images you place in InCopy are transferred to InDesign.

When you place a PSD, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, or BMP file and select Show Import Options in the Place dialog box, you’ll see a dialog box containing these options:

Apply Photoshop Clipping Path If this option isn’t available, the image wasn’t saved with a clipping path, or the file

format doesn’t support clipping paths. If the bitmap image doesn’t have a clipping path, you can create one in InDesign.

Alpha channel Select an alpha channel to import the area of the image saved as an alpha channel in Photoshop. InCopy

uses the alpha channel to create a transparent mask on the image. This option is available only for images that contain at least one alpha channel.

Click the Color tab to view the following options:

Profile If Use Document Default is selected, leave this option unchanged. Other wise, choose a color sourc e prof ile that

matches the gamut of the device or software used to create the graphic. This profile enables InDesign to properly translate its color to the gamut of the output device.

Rendering Intent Choose a method for scaling the color range of the graphic to the color range of the output device.

Typically, you’ll choose Perceptual (Images) because it accurately represents colors in photographs. The Saturation (Graphics), Relative Colorimetric, and Absolute Colorimetric options are better for areas of solid color; they don’t reproduce photographs well. Rendering Intent options aren’t available for bitmap, grayscale, and index-color mode images.

Portable Network Graphics (.png) import options

Wh en you pl ace a PN G imag e and s ele ct Show Impo rt O pti ons in the Pla ce d ial og b ox, you’ ll se e a d ial og b ox w ith three sections of import settings. Two sections contain the same options available for other bitmap image formats. The other section, PNG Settings, contains the following settings:

Use Transparency Information This option is enabled by default when a PNG graphic includes transparency. If an

imported PNG file contains transparency, the graphic interacts only where the background is transparent.

White Background If a PNG graphic does not contain a file-defined background color, this option will be selected by

default. However, it is only enabled if Use Transparency Information is activated. If this option is selected, white is used as the background color when applying transparency information.

File Defined Background Color If a PNG graphic was saved with a non-white background color, and Use Transparency

Information is selected, this option is selected by default. If you don’t want to use the default background color, click White Background to import the graphic with a white background, or deselect Use Transparency Information to import the graphic without any transparency (displaying areas of the graphic that are currently transparent). Some image-editing programs can’t specify a non-white background color for PNG graphics.

Apply Gamma Correction Select this option to adjust the gamma (midtone) values of a PNG graphic as you place it.

This option lets you match image gamma to the gamma of the device you will use to print or display the graphic (such as a low-resolution or non-PostScript printer or computer monitor). Deselect this option to place the image without applying any gamma correction. By default, this option is selected if the PNG graphic was saved with a gamma value.

Gamma Value This option, available only if Apply Gamma Correction is selected, displays the gamma value that was

saved with the graphic. To change the value, type a positive number from 0.01 to 3.0.

When PNG files are imported, the settings in the Image Import Options dialog box are always based on the selected file, not on the default or last-used settings.

Acrobat (.pdf) and Illustrator (.ai) import options

The layout, graphics, and typography in a placed PDF are preserved. As with other placed graphics, you cannot edit a placed PDF page within InCopy . You can control the visibility of layers in a layered PDF. You can also place more than one page of a multipage PDF.

When you place a PDF that was saved with passwords, you’ll be prompted to enter the required passwords. If the PDF file was saved with usage restrictions (for example, no editing or printing), but no passwords, you can place the file.
