Features
CopyFlow Gold adds powerful page-assembly capabilities to InDesign. It provides menu selections which enables the end user to automatically import and export text into InDesign documents.
These automated-processing features make using InDesign faster and more productive than ever to meet the increasingly sophisticated needs of publishing professionals in high-volume and/or multi-user, networked publishing environments.Features:• batch process text;• automate pagination and repurpose text — just do it better and faster.CopyFlow Gold provides tools for naming InDesign text frames individually, and for identifying folders from which text may be imported and exported. An additional tool called Namer allows for the automatic naming of frames, a very useful feature when many frames are involved.Using the batch import tool, the user can rapidly import content into text boxes of an InDesign document. In addition, file types are filtered using the same logic that applies to InDesign's text filters. Text files can then be exported from InDesign into RTF or tagged text files for further editing or repurposing. CopyFlow Gold enhances the use of InDesign for many professional publishing applications, including books, magazines, journals, newsletters, newspapers, directories, advertisements, and catalogs. CopyFlow Gold automates the batch import and export of files into layouts, and dramatically increases the speed of document production. It is particularly useful where volume is high, production involves multiple revisions, and deadlines are tight.Examples of uses:• Book Production — Use CopyFlow Gold to import all the text and elements for book chapters as a batch process, even across a network from multiple sources, and in multiple file formats. Proof page layouts with all elements in position, then export text files which require revisions back to the originator or editor. Multiple revision passes are more manageable with CopyFlow Gold controlling import and export. Once revisions are completed, quickly reassemble finished chapters automatically for output.• Translations — Automatically name all text frames in an existing InDesign document, export all of the text into a single composite tagged file, submit this file to the translation application of choice, and reimport the translated text into the same InDesign document.• Database Publishing — Use the report generator in a database application to automatically tag fields with layout frame names and create a lengthy input file. Then prepare InDesign layouts with corresponding frame names for page elements. Finally, batch import the file or files using CopyFlow Gold and quickly build catalogs or directories.Click the Resources tab above for related articles and other information on this topic.
