change text frame horizontally (text area) with script?

Hi there,

 

I'm trying something that might be simple but am not being able to solve... When I am inside a document I created (or one that I've opened), I want to be able to change the text frame horizontally.

 

What I'm trying to do is exactly what I can with File > Document Setup > Text Area - Width. If I shrink this number to, say 60 mm, the result is exactly what I want. But I haven't been able to find a way of doing it via javascript...

 

I have tried the sample scripts for an answer or this forum or the internet, but I don't know how to do it. And I have that feeling it is quite simple... Maybe by creating a script menu action?

 

I'm using InCopy CS4.

 

thanks!

Can I use an InCopy serial number on a Mac-platform and later Windows?

I'm testing the use of InCopy in our workflow. In the end the editors of our newspaper will be the ones using InCopy on Windows. Can I buy a serial number for use on my Mac for some period and use that same number for one of the editors once I've finished testing?

InCopy CC crashes when using track changes

Hi

 

We have had a lot of problems with InCopy chrasing.

 

We are using the package system.

 

It seems to happen when clients are using Track changes, they open the file and if i opens in Story mode it just spins and won't works. If ou open it in Layout mode it seems fine but as soon as you go to Story mode it spins again.

 

If the track changes are accepted the package will work fine again.

 

Does Adobe have any updates for this it's becoming very frustating and clients don't want to use InCopy.

 

Thanks

Louise

Quirky issue with InDesign/InCopy check-out of text?

Hi there,

 

Recently moved our entire office over to CC, and we were on 5.5 before.

 

Having this one issue that seems so minut and small, but is becoming super frustrating as we rely heavily on an InDesign/InCopy assignment workflow. Here is how to recreate our issue, we need to find a fix!

 

- Open an InDesign file with assignments

- Hover over a body of text that has been assigned

- Click on it, and push 'enter' or really any button to try and edit it to force the prompt window to Check-Out the text frame

- Once you click yes, while still in the text frame, you can delete text, but you can't add text! This is key!

- The only way to start editing the text is to click into another frame, and then click back.

 

In 5.5, you used to be able to check it out when you pushed any button, which then became a quick shortcut for us and our editors to push 'enter' twice to start editing text... and now you can't do that!

 

Surely someone else has noticed this bug in CC? We use it so much, and it's killing us ha! Is this an issue that could be a quick bug fix?

 

Thanks for your help!

Track Changes and strange behavior in InCopy

February 24, 2016, 1:07 am

I've recently noticed that there is some strange behavior with how InCopy (and presumably InDesign) use Track Changes, but wanted to run it by people here before reporting it as a bug.

 

Here is the text view of an example where I have added text (ABCDEF) proceeded and followed by some deleted text (the K's).

Screen Shot 2016-02-24 at 09.49.22.png

My expectations here would be that this would represent 3 changes:

  1. The deleted K's.
  2. The added letters ABCDEF
  3. The deleted K's.

 

However, functionally and in the code, this is actually being rendered as 4 changes:

  1. The deleted K's.
  2. The added letter A
  3. The added letters BCDEF
  4. The deleted K's.

 

It seems that if added text is proceeded by deleted text the first character following the deleted text will always be defined as a separate change. Below is the code in the ICML file that shows this.

<Change Date="2016-02-24T09:36:21" ChangeType="DeletedText" UserName="User 1" AppliedDocumentUser="dDocumentUser0">  <ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle="ParagraphStyle/$ID/NormalParagraphStyle">  <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]">  <Content>KKKKKKKKKK</Content>  </CharacterStyleRange>  </ParagraphStyleRange>  </Change>  <Change Date="2016-02-24T09:36:09" ChangeType="InsertedText" UserName="User 1" AppliedDocumentUser="dDocumentUser0">  <Content>A</Content>  </Change>  <Change Date="2016-02-24T09:36:09" ChangeType="InsertedText" UserName="User 1" AppliedDocumentUser="dDocumentUser0">  <Content>BCDEF</Content>  </Change>  <Change Date="2016-02-24T09:36:09" ChangeType="DeletedText" UserName="User 1" AppliedDocumentUser="dDocumentUser0">  <ParagraphStyleRange AppliedParagraphStyle="ParagraphStyle/$ID/NormalParagraphStyle">  <CharacterStyleRange AppliedCharacterStyle="CharacterStyle/$ID/[No character style]">  <Content>KKKKKKKKK</Content>  </CharacterStyleRange>  </ParagraphStyleRange>  </Change>

 

Note that the first character is made into a separate change both when the deletion is made before the text is added and after. So if I later remove the letter C the letter D will then become an isolated change separate from DEF.

 

When it comes to accepting the changes the behavior is even more unpredictable. If I select just the letter A and then choose to accept that change it also accepts the proceeding deleted text change:

Screen Shot 2016-02-24 at 09.59.54.png

Here I select the letter A and then "Accept Change". I expect only the A to no longer reflect a change that has been made. However...

 

Screen Shot 2016-02-24 at 10.00.07.png

...the actual result is that the A and also all of the proceeding deleted text is accepted.

 

Can anyone offer some input on this at all? Am I misunderstanding something or is deleted text "cannabalizing" the first character that succeeds it and incorporating it into its own change? I imagine this can cause all sorts of issues if it is indeed a bug. (Note that this is present in CC2015 as well as quite a number of releases going back.)

 

Thanks!

Incopy CC crashes when exporting pdf (Windows)

January 31, 2017, 6:13 am

I'd like to share my solution for this as it was driving me insane for the period I could not resolve this for a user.

 

Symptoms

  • On opening any Incopy file in CC, exporting the file to PDF would cause a software crash
  • The PDF itself would still be exported despite Incopy crashing
  • Event viewer did not show anything outstanding as the main culprit for the crashes
  • Exporting to PDF in CS6 was fine, while exporting in CS7 was also fine.

Solution

  • Close any instances of InCopy you have running
  • Head to the AppData folder for Incopy in the directory<username>\AppData\local\adobe\InCopy and rename 'InCopy' to InCopy.old
  • Head to the AppData folder for Incopy in the directory<username>\AppData\roaming\adobe\InCopy and rename 'InCopy' to InCopy.old
  • Restart the machine and attempt to export to PDF once more.

 

Again this is what worked for me and it may not work for anyone. But I thought to make some documentation as I could not find this anywhere on the web when doing my investigation. Hopefully people in future will find this on Googleling.

InDesign file saving and exporting S-L-O-W.

I am a designer using the InDesign/InCopy layout workflow. After my last post things were working pretty good for awhile. But now it is taking more than an hour to save over the network. I tried putting everything in the same folder on the network (links and all) and it still took me more than an hour just to relink a placed InCopy story. I am going mad. A week overdue for my first draft and I can't do anything. So today I decided to just  use the package workflow to speed things up. However it still takes as long to create assignments even after I have saved the InDesign file and links to my desktop.

 

Is there any possibility this is caused by using the last document and saving as new name? Even if I have unlinked all assignments and stories first?

 

I've tried saving as an inx file but I lock up.

 

Thanks for your help in advance,

Holly

Is there a way to copy a text box in InDesign(InCopy) without having the two linked?

I am new to InCopy, but my typical InDesign workflow is to create a page layout I like and duplicate spreads or copy text boxes and edit each accordingly. With everything linked in InCopy if i want to copy (say a picture caption to a different picture) then they are both linked and if I changed the copied text box I inadvertently change the original. Is there a way to make the new box have a distinct link?

InCopy workflow with packages

I am using the InCopy CS5 workflow and sending icap files to external clients for editing. The client edited the file and then sent back an .idap file.

 

If someone other than myself who made the original .icap files tries to update the Indesign template with the package, it doesn't recognise where the original Indesign template is and asks to browse to it, although I can update the Indesign no problem. Even if you open the Indesign template and go to file update package it asks to browse to the original Indesign template.

 

Has anyone ever experienced this before?

I have been to the InCopy page on the Adobe website and it states that InCopy comes with Creative Cloud but I am a Creative Cloud member and InCopy is not listed in any of the Apps or Services within the Cloud menu.

 

Does any other Creative Cloud members know how to access the InCopy?

I can't edit text in InCopy CS5.5

Hi,

 

I wasn't very familiar with InCopy when I clicked into turning my text to InCopy, now I have to edit some pieces of the text and it will simply not allow me to make any changes, it's only on the main story (other parts of the document will allow me to check in and out of it). I've spent over 2 hours on the phone and sharing my screen with the people at Adobe and still no clue what's going on. Of course I'm on a deadline and desperate to understand how this works. Is InCopy being controlled by a plug-in? How do I modify it? I can't even open the stories that were created. Please help!!!

Changes in InDesign won't show up in Incopy after checking them in

Hi,

 

ok this is the problem: Document is created in InDesign. Text-Workflow with the editors is realised through todos (.icma-files). So every change on the layout is checked out, the editor checks in inside of InCopy and most of the time everything works fine. BUT sometimes (and we do not know what the reason is) some changes do not make it to the .icma-file. So in InDesign for example there is a change made to a picture. Than this change is checked in. Next time the editor works in InDesign there is no notification that a change happnd to this picture. This is a big problem, because often such changes to pictures have a big impact of the lenght of the text sourrounding it.

 

Does anybody have an idea what happens here?

 

Thanks for help

InCopy CC file sharing

Can InCopy CC files (.icap) can be accessed(open & edit) by a remote person who doesn't have either creative cloud membership or InCopy. When searching in the web I found the below one from Adobe FAQ column:

 

"In addition, Creative Cloud sharing features let you share files with people who aren't members of Creative Cloud by allowing them to view the files in a browser. Viewers can turn layers on and off, view relevant metadata, comment, and even download files for editing."

 

What I don't understand here is 'the files can be viewed in browser'. Does it mean it can be opened in any broswer & edited even if the InCopy product is not installed or it means they can edit the files in InCopy CS6?

 

Can anyone make this clear...

Missing Plug-ins - Package And Preflight.APLN from InDesign Document

If a user creates a file in InDesign CC and then tries to open it in InCopy CS6 they get the following error.

 

Missing Plug-ins, Cannot Open File

PACKAGE AND PREFLIGHT.APLN

The Doument "filename.indd" uses one or more plug-ins which are not currently available on your system. Do you want to open anyway?

 

This happens whether the copy of InCopy is on the same PC as InDesign or a seperate PC without InDesign. InCopy is installed seperately from the CC.

Clicking OK opens the file normally.

 

We have checked that both versions of the software match at v8.0.2.

 

I've heard it might be due to embedding of this file but the designers say they are not yet at the stage of packaging this file when they get this error so nothing should be embedded.

 

Can anyone help?

Is it possible to create in the DiskSpace of CreativeCloud for Teams a folder that is only accessible for a CCT InCopy User.

The background of this question is that we would like to equip the Studio with several InDesign Layout designers and equip some of the customers with a InCopy CC for Teams.

Per customer we would create a folder where the proofing and correction can be made in InCopy, without this customer seeing other customers work....

Not sure what happened. I had a crash and then when I brought InCopy back up, the word count function had disappeared.I see my text preview settings, and then an option to turn off paragraph styles, and then a "customize" window that only allows me to turn off "text display" or "view options."

 

I need my word count back! I use it a lot. Any help will be very appreciated.

How To Stop Two People Editing Same Text

Hi

 

We're just starting to use InCopy with InDesign in our office.

 

We're finding that InCopy isnt letting us know when someone else is currently editing text.

 

Can we set InCopy to display who is currently editing the text by showing their username? (the frame as icons are not showing for anyone)

 

Can we set InCopy to only allow one person at a time to checkout a text box?

 

Many thanks,

David

inCopy files show as checked out when they are not

We're experiencing an issue where some (not all) of the inCopy files cannot be checked out in inCopy or in inDesign.

 

A user made copy edits in inCopy and closed the files. Now the inCopy user sees the files as checked out by the very same user even though obviously that user does not have them checked out. Plus, the last set of edits don't show either.

 

The inDesign user cannot check out the inCopy files from inDesign or see the last set of edit Changes. Both users are on the same version of inDesign/inCopy.

 

We were able to create a new inDesign files using the "Save As" command and then break all the links to that inCopy files, and export new inCopy files. The new inCopy files are behaving normally. Any way to restore normal behavior to the original inCopy files?
