This is step 3 of 4 of Exporting a layout from InDesign and importing it in Inception as a Story.

Step 1. Choose Inception > Export InDesign Article.

Troubleshooting
The text frame on the InDesign layout does not appear in the export
Make sure that the text frame is included in the InDesign Article.
After the InDesign Article is created, it can happen that additional frames are added. When these frames have content that also needs to be exported, remember to also add these frames to the InDesign Article. Do this by:
- Adding the frames manually to the InDesign Article
- Deleting the InDesign Article and generating a new one (note that you will lose any changes that you may have made to the order of the article items)
PDF files are not shown in the indesign-export-sample.html file
This can happen for specific Web browsers or their security settings. Try using a different Web browser to view this file.
The export of the InDesign Article becomes slower every time it is executed
This is caused by memory leaks in InDesign's Javascript engine. Restart InDesign to resolve this issue.
Next step
Continue with Importing the layout into Inception.
