For anyone curious about automated publishing with IDML, I’ve been posting a series of IDML Bits on my Twitter feed. Basically, I’m just going straight through the IDML Specification document (428 pp. PDF), and pulling little tweet-size chunks of information to share.
Here’s an example:
#IDML bit no.2: To strip 3rd party plug-in data from a doc, export it to IDML and open that file where the plug-in is not installed.
If you know little or nothing about IDML, you probably should first get some context by reading the official introduction at the automated publishing page on Adobe.com.
Also, if you haven’t already checked out the InDesignSecrets Twitter feed be sure to do so for news, tips, and other goodies (like coupon codes).
