Create and send packages (InDesign)
Under ideal circumstances, all InDesign and InCopy users on the team have access to a server where assignment files
are stored. However, if one or more users don’t have access to a common server, you can create and distribute
compressed assignment packages. After working on the assignment, the InCopy user repackages the assignment and
returns it to be integrated into the InDesign document. Package files created in InDesign include the .icap extension.
The return package files created in InCopy include the .idap extension.
There are two commands for packaging files: Package For InCopy and Package And Email. Use Package For InCopy to
create a compressed package that you can distribute manually; use Package And Email to create a compressed package
that is attached automatically to an e-mail message.
Note: Do not confuse an assignment package with the File > Package command in InDesign that lets you bundle and send
a document and its assets to a printer.
Create a package for manual distribution
1 Create an assignment and add the content you want to include in the package.
Only content that is checked in can be included in the packaged assignment. If any content is checked out, you’re
prompted to check in content.
2 In the Assignments panel, select the assignment and choose Package For InCopy from the panel menu.
3 Specify a name and location for the package file, and click Save.
