Packaging an InDesign® Document for use with one2edit™

Created on 08th December 2016 at 17:55 by Jamie O'Connell



This lesson will bring you through the basics of uploading your InDesign® document to your trial account user space.

Packaging the InDesign® Document

The first thing that you need to do is create a package of your InDesign® document. To do this, you will need to open your document in InDesign on your computer.

Create a Package in Adobe® InDesign®

Create a Package in Adobe® InDesign®

Click 'File > Package'

Click 'Package...'

Click 'Package...'

Click 'Package...'

NB - This screen will show you if any fonts are missing. If they are, they will not be packaged. Any fonts missing from the package will not be available in one2edit when the fonts are uploaded.

Click 'Continue'

Click 'Continue'

Fill in a filename and click 'Continue'.

Set up the InDesign® Document Package

Set up the InDesign® Document Package
  1. Give the Package a name.
  2. Select 'Copy Fonts', 'Copy Linked Graphics' and 'Update Graphic Links in Package',
  3. Click 'Package'

This will create a folder containing all the files required for the InDesign file other than the fonts, which we will package separately.

Compress a 'Font Package'

Compress a 'Font Package'

To package the fonts, simply browse to the document's directory on your hard-drive and compress the 'Document fonts' directory into a .zip file (using your favourite method).

On a Mac, this can be done by right-clicking the 'Document fonts' directory and choosing 'Compress...'

NB - be sure to give the font package a meaningful name (e.g. MyDocumentNameFonts.zip) because this is what will be used to identify the font package after it has been uploaded to the one2edit servers.

Move the 'Font Package' to the 'Parent Folder'

Move the 'Font Package' to the 'Parent Folder'

We will now move the fonts package out of the document package folder.

We do not need this in the document package we are going to upload to the one2edit™ server.

'Compress Package Folder'

'Compress Package Folder'

We now need to compress the document package into a .zip file for uploading to the one2edit™ asset space.

Simply compress the package folder, using the same method as in the previous step.

Two .zip 'File Packages'

Two .zip 'File Packages'

You should now have two .zip file packages located in your folder.

The next steps will be to upload these packages to the one2edit™ system.
