DocsFlow

Integrate Google Docs with InDesign.

DocsFlowOverview

DocsFlow unites the collaborative editing power of Google Docs to the layout power of InDesign.

DocsFlow lets you place online Google Docs documents as InDesign story contents, just like normal text files. More importantly, DocsFlow maintains a dynamic link so it can intelligently merge Google Docs document changes into the InDesign story contents on each link update, rather than just replacing the story. So you can format, layout, and make minor edits in InDesign, while you and others edit story content together in real time on Google Docs, without losing any work.

DocsFlow Pro, required to import Google spreadsheets and to use the export functions, is $400 US. More information is available on the developer's Web site.

NEW

Note: Now requires OS X 10.9 or later running on a 64-bit Intel processor.

  • Adds Update Linked Google Docs Document to the main DocsFlow menu.
  • Changes all Update Google Docs Document menus to display as Update Linked Google Docs Document.
  • Fixes a problem where placing a Google Docs document or updating a link in an InDesign document containing multiple Google Docs links could cause the InDesign application to freeze. (CC and later only)
  • Fixes a problem that could prevent (moved) text from being exported to a Google Docs document.
  • Displays shared documents whose location can no longer be determined inside an (Inaccessible Folder) instead of in the Place Google Docs Documents dialog’s root listing.
  • Improves the display of the DocsFlow text frame link badge. That it may disappear and reappear randomly at higher zoom levels is a known issue. (CC 2015 only)
  • Works around an InDesign problem which was preventing DocsFlow > Update Linked Google Docs Document from being enabled when the link’s Story Status was showing as modified. (CS5 only)
