Going from AutoCad to Illustrator (to add stroke) then to PhotoShop to change to raster and then into InDesign seems like a pretty convoluted work flow. That, however, seems like quite a bit of extra work. If it is I'll likely turn everything into raster before going into InDesign. I guess the question is whether this is normal and to be expected or not. I print these 50 page books on demand and that additional time would add about an hour. The ones with Illustrator art take much longer (about 1:30 seconds). I've noticed that the pages with photoshop art print pretty quickly (about 30 seconds). To bring them into InDesign some of the art is now in psd format and some of the newer art is in Illustrator AI format. The original line art for the pages was created in AutoCad and some were scans. I've recreated a half dozen pages hopefully with more uniform techniques. I'm reconstructing an old document originally developed with PageMaker. What is the solution? Thanks for your ideas! I need a method in indesign where I can create elements (a group of type, images, and containing boxes) from a master document, apply them to child documents, and then have changes to the parent elements be reflected in the corresponding child elements in other documents. I then moved the image a few pixels to the left inside of the containing box, but that change was not reflected in the child documents.
I grouped the container, type, and image into one object and put it inside the content collector, then placed the grouped object into a new document. For example, I have created a container box and put type and images inside it. Some changes are not being reflected in the child document, however.
I have been trying to solve this using the "Content Collector" tool and have had some success. I want to create re-usable elements in indesign that have master properties (parent > child), so that when you edit the master the children inherit the changes.
