Prerequisites for Creating GovWin Capture Management Merge Templates with Adobe InDesign

Before you can use Adobe InDesign to create GovWin Capture Management merge templates and generate merged documents, you must complete certain prerequisites.

Prerequisites include the following:

  • You must have InDesign installed on your workstation.
    • InDesign versions CS5.5 (7.5) and later are supported for GovWin Capture Management.
    • The Creative Cloud version of InDesign is supported.
    • If you use InDesign CS6, you must install it on the same drive as your Windows Users directory on your workstation. If they are not located in the same directory, you cannot create or edit GovWin Capture Management InDesign templates. You will receive a message that InDesign has never been run as an administrator, and InDesign will not open. This issue does not occur with InDesign CS5.5.
    • InDesign must be included in the Windows registry on your workstation for InDesign to work with GovWin Capture Management. If you have Windows 7, InDesign may not generate the registry entry automatically when you launch InDesign for the first time. See the GovWin Capture Management "Create the Adobe InDesign Registry Entry" help topic for instructions.
  • A system administrator must enable Microsoft SQL Server FILESTREAM. InDesign merge templates are uploaded and saved to GovWin Capture Management using FILESTREAM technology.
