Alright. You've hopefully watched the
information and activation guide on
how to set up PageZephyr Search
InDesign for the Macintosh.
To get started,
then, it's quite simply as easy as double-clicking it on our...
How do you like our icon there? Lovely icon. And you get the
blank window for PageZephyr Search for
InDesign. Now, what I want to show you on the Macintosh here,
if we do a search for,
we get a plethora of results. And
I got a call from corporate that says find me all the documents that
used the term "Markzware" and the keyword phrase
"FlightCheck Online" and I need them by the end of the day.
Now, you just came in, it's
Friday morning, you're ready for the weekend,
and the client, or the boss from corporate, or the client from the publisher,
or you, as a graphic designer,
or as a prepress worker at a printer, wants it, needs it now.
Yeah. What are you going to do?
Well, if you just use InDesign, you have to open each file,
do a Command-F, cycle through the whole file, and see what you have. And if you
have thousands of documents, you can never find
all of them with using those two keyword phrases or terms.
That would just... wouldn't be possible, but with Markzware's
PageZephyr Search,
it is. For instance, we go in here and we type in, first, the word. We'll say
contains Markzware.
We click Enter, or Return,
and you'll see we get 47 documents that contain
the keyword term Markzware. Now, if we
hit the little plus icon here, we can say
what if the text content
contains FlightCheck Online?
And now, we'll click Enter, again.
And now, you'll see we've whittled down
the number of potential files we have to investigate further
down to 19. Actually, in this hypothetical task, we've completed it.
Well, more or less, right? Now, we can adjust our real estate by
going like this and we can, of course, make the window
itself bigger. And you'll see, down below here,
the path to the file. And we can cycle through all the documents
on the left-hand side and get a preview of their content on the right-hand side.
And it will show every iteration, every time the terms
are used, FlightCheck Online or Markzware,
and it highlights them in yellow. So, very, very handy. You can also
cycle through each individual document,
with the known Command-G, like you would do with
any find in your browser, or on any application on the Macintosh.
Command-G, you can just cruise through and find every
place where, in this case, FlightCheck, the key term we just searched for here,
is used. Let's do a search for PDF2DTP.
That's our new PDF
to InDesign conversion filter. Search on Date Modified
to get the most recently modified.
And I can then go in there and say, okay, what needs to be done here? I want to go
here, because I'll now need to save and it also includes a CC version,
which, by the way, PageZephyr Search is indexing CC files.
If I select any term and I go to Edit > Show Selection in Document,
it'll actually launch
InDesign, but not only launch InDesign,
but actually take me to
and highlight where I just was in PageZephyr Search.
Extremely useful.
So, let's just show you that again here. Let's close the file,
select the URL,
go Edit > Show Selection in Document
and boom. Look at that! Right exactly... Oop, you can't see it.
It's off the page. Let me move this up. Right exactly, it highlights exactly
where it is and to the page.
So, this is very, very useful. Anyway, another
little tip, I can click
on the document itself, down here, and it'll also
launch the file for me.
So, there are multiple ways to get into your content in InDesign. Now, I don't
need InDesign. I can quit InDesign.
It'll search without having InDesign. So, if someone who
just needs to find and get a visual overview of the content, you don't need
InDesign, but having
InDesign makes it a lot cooler, because you can interact with
your content.
What you can also do is take this content here,
which we found, we can Select All,
Copy, and then we could, you know, obviously go into...
You can also take what you found and Copy and Paste that as
individual text stories into something else, a
text composer, or an email, or into a new InDesign document, and it's fully
editable text. Now, one last thing to show you here, which is really neat with
PageZephyr Search for InDesign, it'll also now enhance your
Spotlight and your finding capabilities on your Macintosh.
And Command-F brings up this search
window panel, and if I search now for
"markzware", everything inside, you know, search the entire document, and
then, what you see, if you look by Kind,
let's see. I went too far here. You'll see, here now, all the InDesign documents
are showing up. Now, there is one
slight problem. They're not all CC documents. That's just saying that's
the latest version I have on my machine.
But now, you can also, with Markzware's
PageZephyr Search for InDesign, you can also search your entire
hard drive right through the Command-Find or Command-F
through the Apple Spotlight find technology. So, very cool!
So, that's been PageZephyr Search for InDesign on the Macintosh.
