What We Do

1io develops a web browser based collaborative workflow solution called one2edit for editing, translating, and reviewing live InDesign documents. It’s a way of putting the actual InDesign document in a user’s web browser instead of trying to turn them into fully trained InDesign and InCopy users, or instead of passing dozens of PDF, text, or XML files around via email for editing, comment and review. People involved in these collaborative processes are often MS Office people who need an easy, efficient way to perform these editing, translation and review tasks. They don’t want or need to become InDesign or InCopy users.

This is a screen shot of an InDesign document in one2edit's web editor application.

So, if you’d like to learn more about how to clean up, streamline, and reduce the costs of your editing, translation and review workflows for your InDesign documents, and achieve a 40 to 60% reduction in those process costs, give one2edit a look. You can arrange a demo with me.

For printers and developers, one2edit has extensive RESTful APIs for integration with back-end asset management systems, ordering, and other workflow systems to create web2print products.

In my next few posts will be about one2edit product features and benefits for editors, translators, reviewers, and online document template users.

A match made in Redmond?

Lee Dallas blogs:

Adobe and Microsoft – This is one of those rumors that make my skin crawl. While I happily use technology from both I have very different opinions of the two organizations and their relative impact on my life. I can’t help but think that Microsoft will ruin the sweet Adobe experience.

See the rest here.

See if you can spot the best line in this entertaining and inspirational video on typography in InDesign.

This set contains the following Find/Change Queries:

• Three Dots to Ellipse (GREP Query): Replaces three consecutive dots (period, full-stop) by the Ellipse character.
• Remove Leading Spaces and Tabs (GREP Query): Removes all the different types of space characters and tabs at the start of a paragraph.
• Remove Trailing Spaces and Tabs (GREP Query): Removes all the different types of space characters and tabs at the end of a paragraph.
• Multiple Tab to Single Tab (GREP Query): Replaces any occurrence of consecutive tabs by a single tab.

The extremely useful plug-in enables you to select one or more objects in an InDesign layout and convert them into a linked InDesign document.

A demo from Cari Jansen is here.

Seriously, if you massage and manhandle a lot of text in your daily InDesign life, and if you’re forever popping in and out of InDesign’s Find/Change dialog, this plug-in will save you a whole lot of time, effort, and errors.

If you haven’t seen it, the best way to quickly sum up the plug-in is like an iTunes playlist for your Find/Change queries. You can run lists of Find/Change operations in batches for text clean-up and anything else you like to do with InDesign’s Find/Change feature.

Adobe product expert Cari “InDesign Dundee” Jansen also did nice video demo for Martinho.

Waiting for that third envelope.

The Seattle Weekly takes a critical look at the tenure of the man who took over for Bill Gates.

As Apple innovates and surges, Microsoft…well…isn’t. They still make a lot of money, but from their legacy products like Windows and Office.

Nitro PDF has announced a beta of its new, very cool looking PDF reader app.

No mention of a Mac version.
