Spot-Check the IDTT Outputīefore proceeding to conversion from IDTT to sam, spot-check the results to confirm all content exported as expected. Each file will be named based on its initial page number at the time of export (in some cases, this may be slightly different than the actual page number, but the general order should be correct). This tool will export each story as an IDTT text file and will save it to a newly created “eidtt” subfolder. This tool will remove repeating table headers and footers that were created using InDesign’s header and footer cell settings. Remove Autogenerated Table Headers and Footers It will apply the enref character style to the number in the main text and the ennum character style to the number in the endnote itself. This tool will remove InDesign’s automated (dynamic) endnotes. It will apply the fnref character style to the number in the main text and the fnnum character style to the number in the footnote itself. This tool will remove InDesign’s automated (dynamic) footnotes and place them at the end of the document. Other items on the page will have the % symbol. Tops of pages will be indicated with the symbol. This tool will apply the page character style to the page indicators. Text in the document will shift, but the page indicators will mark the positions of the original page breaks. This tool will convert the inserted page indicator notes to literal text. This will prevent nested, GREP, and line styles from being incorrectly applied as content shifts during the export process. This tool will localize any nested styles. Removes the “based on” connections between styles so that changes made to one no longer affect others. This prevents unexpected text changes during the extraction process for content such as cross-references that refer to page numbers created by text variables. Text Variables to Literal TextĬonverts text variables to their literal text equivalents during extraction. The tool will also remove anything in the pasteboard so that unwanted content will not get included when mapping styles or anchoring images. Retaining the page numbering in this way will make it easier to link indexes. Any existing notes of this type will be deleted prior to processing. This tool will go backward through the document, adding an invisible InDesign note (similar to the comment feature in Microsoft Word) at the top of each text box.

Convert Numbers and Bullets to TextĬonverts any automatic list numbers or bullets to text so that they will be properly included in the export. Also available from the Styles Panel menus. Alerts the user if any styles appear in more than one group. Moves any styles from groups into the main style area and deletes the groups.

To ensure correct output, track changes should be addressed and accepted prior to running Export, but this cleans them up to avoid processing errors if they have not. Accept All ChangesĪccepts any tracked changes in a document. The tools included in the Scribe Tools Export are as follows: 1. As an alternative, each tool can be run individually. Select Scribe Tools > Prepare for Export > Export IDTT > Run All or Scribe Tools > Prepare for Export > Export IDTT > Run All - Export IDTT without Page Indicators depending on whether page numbers should be retained.Īfter starting “Run All,” the process cannot be stopped. It will then reverse those changes and unbase character styles. This tool will make minor changes to some rarely used style properties.
