Export to Content XML – Typefi Support

Applies to the Adobe InDesign plug-in version 29 or later

The Export to Content XML workflow action exports a Content XML file (.cxml) from an Adobe InDesign file (.indd or .indb).

Export to Content XML

Field	Description
Input	The file path to the input InDesign document (.indd) or book (.indb). Click the Choose File icon to choose the input InDesign file. Alternatively, enter the file path—for example, /Input/my-input.indd.
Output	The file path to the output Content XML file (.cxml). Enter a name for the exported Content XML file. Alternatively, click the Choose File to choose an output file from the pop-up menu. The default output is output-1.cxml.
InDesign Server	Choose the InDesign Server or Blinkenlights queue.
Pretty print output*	Select the Pretty print output checkbox if you want the output to be pretty-printed. Pretty print output is deselected by default, which means the CXML will pass through exactly as it came in. If Pretty print output is selected, then the output CXML will be indented, and a whiteSpaceMode of strict will be applied. *Pretty print output is available for the Export to Content XML action for Adobe InDesign plug-in (v39 or later).

You can also use workflow variables to specify input fields. To insert a workflow variable, click the lightning bolt icon and choose a variable from the pop-up menu.
