As a designer, it is quick and easy to create proofs directly from within Adobe InDesign and send them out to a PageProof workflow using the PageProof plugin for Adobe InDesign. Then, when a to-do list has been returned, bring the comments and markup back into InDesign layered over your artwork file.
The PageProof plugin for Adobe InDesign lets you:
Create proofs and new versions
See comments and markup layered over your artwork file
Reply to comments
Select and replace text with comment text, in a click
Download comment attachments, even place the files!
And more.
