Structuring folders for imported articles
Create folder structure for importing multiple articles
Create a metadata sidecar file for importing articles
You can use the Import Article command in the Folio Builder panel to import articles from the desktop. To import files properly, you must follow
the structure rules and file naming conventions to determine what is included in a folio.
To import multiple articles simultaneously, create a folio folder that consists of multiple article folders. When you select Import Multiple
Articles, navigate to the folio folder that contains article subfolders.
Article folders for dual-orientation folios must contain two InDesign documents. Create one document with an _h suffix (such as
“article1_h.indd”), and one with a _v suffix (such as “article1_v.indd”).
Article folders for single-orientation folios must contain only one InDesign file with an _h or _v suffix.
Each article folder can contain a PNG file for table-of-contents (TOC) thumbnails. If this file is missing, the toc image is generated
automatically. For best results, keep your image assets in a Links subfolder rather than in the article folder so that a PNG image is not
mistakenly used for the TOC.
Structuring Files for DPS
Create folder structure for importing multiple articles
When setting up the folder structure, you can use various methods to organize your article files. Files you link to in InDesign do not have to be
in the article folder—they can be in any folder where InDesign can find them.
Keep filenames and folder names simple. Avoid using special characters.
