Edit and translate InDesign documents online 

one2edit™ is based on the industry-standard Adobe InDesign® server technology and also known as a modern web-to-print software. Unlike many similar products, it does not convert InDesign documents into another format during the editing process. The advantage of this method is a real WYSIWYG editing (what-you-see-is-what-you-get).

On top of this, almost all InDesign features can be used and retained including anchored objects, inline graphics, concatenated text frames across multiple pages, etc.

Using the integrated one2edit™ workflow engine, any editing, reconciliation and release processes can be created quickly and easily via drag & drop functionality. The number of steps and process participants is not limited. Workflows do not need to be written in complicated Business Process Modeling Notations (BPMN); nor do they require programming skills or training. Our workflow engine is based on real life and allows a process to be set up and adapted as quickly as required.

one2edit™ offers a role-specific user interface that only features the relevant functions for each specific user. This gives everyone a simple and fast introduction to one2edit™, while increasing acceptance levels and raising the degree of use – which eliminates the need for training in the majority of cases. 

You can set up one2edit™ very easily to reflect multiple internal and external organizational structures. As a project manager, you can also manage the specific content each user is able to access and edit. You can define every individual user’s role within each workflow and decide which tools and formatting options for editing documents are available. These detailed options and settings for rights and roles provide a secure and efficient way of working, even for less-experienced users.

If you want to edit InDesign documents online maintaining control over your corporate design and ensure brand consistency, it's no problem with our online editor. The one2edit™ Brand Design ruleset can be set up with just a few clicks. This allows you to generate InDesign templates where you can determine, for example, which formatting options are available to a user. A user can then choose from a collection of templates and formatting options within the templates, depending on the permissions.

You can design very simple self-services where users can copy-fit a document using sliders for font size and tracking within minimum and maximum values. This ensures that the user is not overwhelmed. If the user needs more options for formatting an InDesign template, then you can define and make these available using appropriate rules. one2edit™ masters all InDesign formatting options for texts and images.

Since the InDesign and image data remain on the server and only the part of the document that is currently required is displayed, even very extensive projects can be processed efficiently over the Internet with one2edit™.

Even InDesign documents of hundreds of pages with high-resolution images can be opened and edited quickly with one2edit™ without losing details. With up to 1000% magnification, you always have full control over microtypography and graphic subtleties.

All changes to a document are logged by one2edit™. They can be easily tracked via the document history and reversed if necessary. In the history you can quickly find the object you are looking for thanks to the extensive filter options and the integrated full text search. The history can be exported so that archiving or processing is also possible outside of one2edit™.

The name says it all. With one2edit™, InDesign documents can be made available quickly and easily for decentralized collaboration. Thanks to InDesign server technology, all InDesign features used (e.g. anchored objects, inline graphics, concatenated text frames across multiple pages, etc.) are retained in the document. With the Project Assistant, you can even configure and set up multiple InDesign documents simultaneously in just a few minutes.

Once defined, you can save workflows and editing rules as templates and simply drag and drop them onto new documents. No programming, no tagging in InDesign, no fiddling - simply and quickly edit InDesign documents online in the browser.

With one2edit™ you have a central font management for the InDesign server: all one2edit™ users use the same fonts and no fonts have to be installed on the user computer for editing InDesign documents via the browser. 

The central administration of fonts ensures legal conformity, a uniform typeface in the brand design (typography) and, on top of that, usually saves on licensing costs.

Another special feature of one2edit™ is the efficient translation process directly in the web-browser. Various translation tools are available to you for this purpose. Either use the services of Microsoft, Google or Deepl or turn to solutions such as SDL Trados®, MemoQ or Across® to perform automatic pre-translations of InDesign documents. Segmentation rules let you either segment content manually or use preconfigured standards for known systems.

Thanks to the stand-alone WYSIWYG preview, translators always work with context and can immediately see whether the translated text fits into the InDesign layout. If things get tight, the texts can always be adjusted by font size, tracking or line spacing right in the browser.

When it comes to managing and editing projects, user groups, brands or customers separate from each other, you can rely on the security of one2edit. Via dedicated client workspaces, one2edit™ ensures that users can only access documents and assets intended for them, allowing multiple clients to be set up on a single system.

Nevertheless, it is possible to give selected users access to multiple clients/workspaces. This allows agencies working for multiple clients, for example, to achieve maximum security and practicability at the same time.
