Set layer visibility for placed AI, PSD, PDF, and INDD files
After you place a Photoshop PSD or layered PDF, an Illustrator AI file, or an InDesign INDD file, you can control the
visibility of its layers by using the Object Layer Options dialog box. If the Photoshop PSD file contains layer comps, you
can choose which comp you want to display. In addition, you can choose whether to maintain the visibility settings or
match the settings of the original file each time you update the link.
1 Select the file in the InCopy document.
2 Choose Object > Object Layer Options.
3 To view a preview of the image, select Preview.
4 (Photoshop PSD files only) If the image contains layer comps, choose the layer comp you want to display from the
Layer Comp pop-up menu.
5 Do one of the following:
• To open or close a layer set, click the triangle to the left of the folder icon.
• To hide a layer or layer set, click the eye icon next to the layer or layer set.
• To display the layer or layer set, click the empty eye column next to the layer or layer set.
• To display only the content of a particular layer or layer set, Alt-click (Windows) or Option-click (Mac OS) its
eye icon. Alt-click or Option-click the eye icon again to restore the original visibility settings of the other layers.
• To change the visibility of multiple items, drag through the eye column.
6 Set the Updating Link Options as desired:
Use Layer Visibility Matches the layer visibility settings to those of the linked file when you update the link.
Keep Layer Visibility Overrides Maintains the layer visibility settings as they were when the file was originally
placed.
7 Click OK.
Importing InDesign (.indd) pages
Using the Place command, you can import pages from one InDesign document into another. You can import a page, a
page range, or all of the pages in the document. The pages are imported as objects (much the same way that PDFs are
imported).
Add pages in your document to hold the pages you want to import. After you choose File > Place and select an INDD
file, you can choose Show Import Options and then choose which pages to import, which layers to make visible, and
how to crop the imported pages. You can scroll in the Preview window to examine the thumbnail pages closely. The
page or pages you select are loaded in the graphics icon. If you place multiple pages, InCopy loads the graphics icon
with the following page so you can import pages one after the other.
Note: The Links panel lists the names of each page you imported. If a page you imported contains a graphic or other item
that was imported into it, this item is listed as well in the Links panel. The names of these secondary imported items are
listed under a disclosure triangle in the Links panel to distinguish them from imported pages.
