-

hello, folks

 

first: not sure if right forum ask question, if bear me, please.

 

we want make ipad application tight deadline. need process real fast 70-90 pieces of news in indesign less human intervention possible (desired aim:none).

 

each piece of news have 1-3 pages of content 1 or 2 pictures. have build set of templates master pages of them (about 6-7 simple variants).

 

we define workflow satisfy our needs , believe describe next serve them. you, please, telling me if feasible, , if approach and, if so, need accomplish it:

 

  • we can place our content formatted xml folder or set of folders.
  • this folders act hot folders, detected indesign (indesign server? enfocus switch?)
  • the software (id server?) detects presence of new content , places xml indesing template assigned folder.
  • as have used xml-tagged frames in templates (using incopy or content collector), template include vertical , horizontal versions (alternative layouts). so, indesign doing automatically human hand: pick template, insert xml, save id document.
  • the software (enfocus switch? indesign server?) place each appropriated final indesign document in oputput folder.
  • if manage achieve assignation of article , upload , inclusion adobe dps folio in our account sweeeeeeet... maybe asking much.
  • the human intervention limited sieve unwanted pieces of news , tweak minor things here , there.

 

so question is: how sound? whacky? feasible? way expensive/complex? better/simpler idea?

 

thank you
