Installing the InDesign Extension for Collaborate

For InDesign CC2014 and up

Here’s how to install the InDesign extension for the latest version of InDesign (Indesign CC 2014 10.0 and above):

• Download the Collaborate InDesign plug-in here.
• Download the install tool. We use the open-source tool ZXPInstaller to install the plug-in. You can download and install the ZXPInstaller from here: http://zxpinstaller.com/

NOTE: Mac OS X users need to allow the tool to run for the first time, so click Open when you see the message below. If the installer won’t run and a warning is displayed instead, then navigate to the Applications folder, right-click (or Command-click) on ZXPInstaller, and select Open from the menu that appears.

NOTE: If you receive below message while installing ZXPInstaller, You need to go to your Security Settings in System Preferences on your device and and you have to allow plugin access privileges and then it will allow you to download ZXPInstaller.

• Run the ZXPInstall tool and drag the plug-in file you downloaded earlier into the window like the one below at left. After a few moments, you will see the status message seen below at right.

Close the ZXPInstall tool.

• Open the plug-in in InDesign from the Windows menu under Extensions and log in to your Collaborate account using the email or account name for your issuu account.
