Can someone work with an indesign document mailed
Yes, it is possible to work with an InDesign document that has been mailed to you. Here are a few ways to do so:
- Export the document as a PDF: The person who mailed you the document can export it as a PDF from InDesign. This way, you can open the PDF in any PDF viewer or editor, such as Adobe Acrobat or Preview on a Mac.
- Export the document as a JPEG or PNG: The person can also export individual pages or spreads as JPEG or PNG images. This way, you can open the images in any image editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop or GIMP.
- Use a cloud-based collaboration tool: Services like Adobe Acrobat DC, Google Drive, or Dropbox allow you to share and collaborate on documents in real-time. The person who mailed you the document can upload the InDesign file to one of these services, and you can access and edit it from your own account.
- Use a file transfer service: Services like WeTransfer or File.io allow you to send large files, including InDesign documents, to others. The person who mailed you the document can upload the file to one of these services and share the link with you.
- Ask the person to send the InDesign file: If the person who mailed you the document has InDesign installed on their computer, they can simply send you the InDesign file (.indd) via email or a file transfer service. You can then open the file in your own copy of InDesign and edit it.
Keep in mind that if you don't have InDesign installed on your computer, you may not be able to edit the document directly. However, you can still work with the document by exporting it as a PDF or image, or by using a cloud-based collaboration tool.
