Re: How do you Import/Graphic AI files in Indesign...

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 28, 2024

There are no changes in the way Illustrator files are placed in InDesign 2025 versus previous versions. When you choose Import Options, the choices are the same:

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

I agree with @Frans v.d. Geest . I have no problems dragging an InDesign file onto InDesign 2025 to open it.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

Sorry, but Adobe only supplies the current version of their applications (now 2025) and the previous version (2023). The 2023 version is not available for downloading.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

You said, "you still have to export it [the template] locally first". I could just drag the template file from its location on my local drive into the CC Library panel.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

You should be able to share the template with your colleagues by using the Share feature:

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

However, INDT is one of the allowed file formats for saving to the CC Library so you'll have to "make do" with that method.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 26, 2024

Apparently an INDT format is not allowed to be saved as a Cloud document as you can see in this dialog box when I try it.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 24, 2024

What you have created are called Document Presets. You should be able to view your Document Presets in File > Document Presets > Define. In that dialog box, you should be able to edit the names of the presets: You could preced the names with a pair of numbers in numberic order. I believe that should let you control the order.

The problem is that Distiller doesn't understand transparency. It only understands the PostScript language which never supported transparency. There's usually no reason to convert images from RGB to CMYK in Photoshop before placing in InDesign. That's also an ancient technique. Place the RGB images into InDesign and choose File > Export > Adobe PDF and export as PDF/X-4.

Apparently there is a. bug in InDesign 20.0 that I had not heard of but it's apparently a bug I had not heard of: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/issue-with-constrain-proportions-in-indesign-2025-20-0/td-p/14933789

What kind of object(s) are you working with in InDesign? I know of no changes in the resizing features in InDesign 20.0. You might try restoring your preferences: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 23, 2024

There is no such command in InDesign. I don't know the limitations of scripting for InDesign well enought to say it can't be done with scripting but I doubt it. Of course, it's easy in Illustrator because fundamentally it is a drawing program and InDesign is not: Object > Path > Outline Stroke.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 22, 2024

Exactly what happens when you try to do the update. How does it not work? Post the error message you receive, please. Try restoring your InDesign preferences before you do the update: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 21, 2024

I don't have that font but went to MyFonts, and if I picked it right, Ringo looks similar but not the same: Maybe a graphic designer created a custom font for the 2025 splash screens.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 20, 2024

Everyone has their own workflow. I know already which files are in which folders. I don't need to search tags to find the files.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 18, 2024

InDesign has NEVER allowed you to multiple-select characters or words. It's just not possible.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 18, 2024

Some old-time printers follow an old-fashioned fear of PDF files. They think everything must be outlined. And in almost all cases, THEY ARE WRONG.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 18, 2024

Like Robert said: First try restoring preferences: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/ And if that doesn't work, here's the CC Cleaner: Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to solve installation problemsAdobe Help Centerhttps://helpx.adobe.com › creative-cloud › cc-cleaner-tool...

Look thru this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/how-to-globally-change-straight-double-quotes-to-curly-open-and-close/td-p/4341351

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 18, 2024

As a general practice, Adobe only posts the current version and the previous version. In this case version 2025 and 2024.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 18, 2024

There should just a preference which can be turned on to TURN THEM ALL OFF for people who don't need them.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 17, 2024

Please tell us more: Please tell us what operating system (exactly) you're running. Please tell us (exactly) what InDesign version you're using. EXACTLY what settings are you using to export the PDF file.?

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 17, 2024

Rob is correct. CC Libraries is a good place to store images which you need to access frequently.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 17, 2024

See if this Adobe Font troubleshooting guide helps you: https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/kb/troubleshoot-adding-fonts.html

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 16, 2024

I'd agree with @defaulttvr2hdmazys4 : If the fonts are activated in Illustrator, they may not be activated: Check the InDesign Font menu and activate them if necessary.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 16, 2024

Problems like that can usually be corrected by restoring your InDesign preferences. Here's how: https://www.rockymountaintraining.com/adobe-indesign-rebuilding-preferences-cache/

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 16, 2024

You should try restoring your InDesign preferences in InDesign 20.0. Go to Preferences > General. At the bottom of the panel to "Reset Preferences on Quit". See if that solves the problem.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 16, 2024

It would be good if there could be an InDesign preference to be able turn OFF the Contextual Bar (which when set with no documents open would always take effect with every new document). If you feel strongly about this make a feature request in the InDesign User Voice: https://indesign.uservoice.com/

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 15, 2024

You can reinstall InDesign 2024 are reopen it again to work on. (Never a good idea to do an update when you're working on a critrical product.) Go to Creative Cloud desktop app > Apps section. Show All Apps.

Steve Werner · ‎Oct 15, 2024

Have you checked with Xerox to see if you have the latest printer driver for your printer? They may not yet support MacOS Sequoia.
