Did you see the minor change in the last GREP? [\xBD\xBC\d]+ will find a fraction, a number AND a number with a followed fraction!

Try this one:

[\xBD\xBC\d](\?\d)?\x20\w+\.?

Gregory, this sounds easy, but needs maybe a bit more explanation.

However:
The first character after a carriage return: \r\K[^.]
All characters after a carriage return, that are not a period: \r\K[^.]+

This will find also a return after a return and maybe too much …

Jill, I’m a german speaking InDesign and InCopy-Trainer. When I start long time ago with InDesign and InCopy, I found, that the InDesign AND the InCopy-Trainings at Lynda.com are very well done and especially the Incopy workflow is very well explained. I could understand everything, although it is not my mother tongue.

To your problem:
It sounds, that both of you have no good idea, how to start and it sounds, that you get icml-files instead of assignments.

So, some thoughts:

1. The designer work in InDesign.
2. The editor work with InCopy.
3. Both can work on the same network, but Dropbox and working from home will work too.
4. You and the designer need the same fonts. There is no real packacking!
5. You have the ability to change text, but no geometry.
6. The designer must start a workflow and give you the right for different stories. There are several ways to do this!
7. After that, you could edit the indesignfile or a so called assignment (e.g. some spreads instead of the whole document).
8. You should never edit the icml-files, since this shows only text and not the geometry.
9. Once the workflow has started, you must check out the stories. Otherwise it is not possible to edit something.

I did a presentation in 2013 for Adobe. The presentation is in german language, but it should work without any sound too ;-)

The InCopy-part starts at 41:15.

I would think, that a online-session (1 hour) could be helpful to him and then he should watch the lynda-training again.

The benefit of a label or metadata is, that you can apply it directly to the object. So the script can read the url and apply it to the parent of the PDF > the frame.

I tested this today on a Kindle Paperwhite, I assume Version 1 or 2 from 2012: Here line-height is honored!

If I understand the question correct, the name of the preset is “LR-Bleed-Crops-Slug” and the pdf should get “_LR” as part of the name?

I would:
1. Check, if the preset exists
2. Check, if the current document was saved before (otherwise there is no file path) and even modified
3. Make a reference to the new file name and file path
4. Export with the preset
5. Close without saving

// your preset name
var pdfPreset = app.pdfExportPresets.itemByName("LR-Bleed-Crops-Slug");
if (!pdfPreset.isValid) {  
  alert("Your preset doesn’t exist!");
  exit();
}

while (app.documents.length) {
  var curDoc = app.activeDocument;

  // check if the doc was saved or modified
  if (!curDoc.saved || curDoc.modified) {
    alert ("Save your doc before!");
    exit();
  }

  // built the PDF name
  var pdfName = curDoc.name.replace(/\.indd$/i,"_LR.pdf");

  // path to the folder of the indd-file
  var fPath = curDoc.filePath;

  // reference to the new file
  var pdfFile = new File(fPath + "/" + pdfName);  

  // export the current file …
  curDoc.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, pdfFile, false, pdfPreset);

  // … and close the document
  curDoc.close(SaveOptions.NO);
}

Sadly no. If I inspect the code in the EPUB, the hyperlink is missing. It seems also, as the hyperlink is a bit transparent? So to find the error, a idml with ONE page is needed.
