Video Length: (3:28)
Covers: InDesign lots of versions
These days, we have to create multiple versions of our InDesign files to work with an eBook version or a digital magazine version, etc. Why not edit your text once and have it change in multiple InDesign files! In this video tip, I'll show you how to export your stories as InCopy stories and link them to multiple InDesign files.
Update your Digital Publishing Tools in InDesign
If you work with the Digital Publishing Suite in InDesign CS5 or CS5.5, then you need to update the tool set.
On Sep. 1, an update was announced that updated the Overlay Creator panel, Folio Builder panel and the Content Viewer. Here is a quick list of what's new:
- Custom viewers for PlayBook With the Viewer Builder
- Enhanced scrollable frames: You can now create scrollable content by pasting a text frame into a container frame. In addition, the performance of scrollable frames has improved. See Create scrollable frames using Pan Only.
- COOL: Hyperlinks in scrollable frames Hyperlinks and hyperlink buttons in Pan Only scrollable frames are now supported.
- Preview on Device You can copy folio information directly to a connected mobile device without going through the acrobat.com web client. Until an updated Adobe Content Viewer is available in the App Store, the Preview on Device feature works only with Android devices. This initial offering requires additional setup effort. See Use Preview on Device.
- Improvements to HTML articles in Android viewer

FREE webinar, Sep 15th: Adobe Muse
11am PDT/ 2pm EDT
Why can't they make a tool that let's you design and build websites as easily as working in a program like Adobe InDesign? They do now! It's called Adobe Muse.
In this 60 minute webinar, you'll get a close up look at the new Adobe Muse program, currently in public beta. Adobe Muse allows us to design and create great looking, professional websites that you can build easily using tools you already know.
I've been using Muse for a while now and am really impressed by the power—being able to add things like JQuery slideshows and sliding panels, content like Google Maps or YouTube video, forms, and more. While Muse is not for everyone, it is a great tool for print designers looking to create websites.

Except when they're yours, I guess...
