Hi everybody,
I have a question regarding your Illustrator/Indesign wireframing
workflow. In the upcoming months I am going to create a huge wireframe
documentation. I am going to use InDesign CS3 to layout the whole
document and Illustrator CS3 to create each wireframe graphic.
After putting some thought into my internal file structure I decided
that I want for each chapter a single Illustrator with the different
graphics on each layer. This document will be embedded into the
InDesign document. But today I discovered a rather annoying behavior:
When I place an Illustrator file in my InDesign document and I am
going to add a layer or rename a layer in Illustrator then InDesign
needs to update the linkage and will loose all Information on which
page which Illustrator layer should be visible. Instead all graphics
will be the same. That is really annoying since it means that the
Illustrator file needs to be finished before I can start with the
InDesign work.
So here is my question: How are you organizing your wireframes with an
Illustrator Indesign workflow? Do you have for each graphic in
Indesign one Illustrator file? That would make the whole updating
process if something changes in a chapter quite work intensive.
All the best
me.
Best regards! | Mit freundlichen Grüßen
