I have a simple two-line script: app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.pasteboardMargins = ['200 mm',0];
app.activeDocument.pasteboardPreferences.matchPreviewBackgroundToThemeColor = 1; When I run it, only the last preference change is actually applied (in this case, changing the preview background). If I switch the order of lines, only the margins get changed. Why does this happen, and what is the best practice for avoiding it? Using Adobe InDesign 18.0 on Windows 10.

It "works" in that it changes my application's setting, but it doesn't work in that it doesn't change my document's setting. Using InDesign 18.0 on Windows 10.

Before a recent update, InDesign documents would just listen to my default preference for Preview Backgrounds to Match to Theme Color, under Preferences > Guides & Pasteboard. I can set that preference, but it doesn't do anything. This thread recommends using app.generalPreferences.pasteboardColorPreference, but that doesn't do anything (as expected, since it doesn't seem to target an actual document; my application is already using that setting). https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/how-to-disable-the-match-pasteboard-to-theme-color-using-script/m-p/11798217 How can I use a script to set documents to use Match to Theme Color?

I want to import characters styles to multiple files. I have a source document with styles like this one: But when I use an action to batch import all character styles, they appear as this: How can I import whole character styles without losing the font family and style?

That script doesn't for me, in either version on InDesign. No error message, just nothing happens.

And yes, this script seems to ONLY work in the CJK version of InDesign, for some mysterious and unknowable reason.

I hacked together a very stupid script that changes text orientation of every selectable thing in a document to horitontal. for (var j=0; j<app.activeDocument.pages.length; j++) {
app.activeWindow.activePage=app.activeDocument.pages[j];
app.select(app.activeWindow.activePage.allPageItems);
for (var i=0; i<app.selection.length; i++) {
app.activeDocument.selection[i].parentStory.storyPreferences.storyOrientation = StoryHorizontalOrVertical.HORIZONTAL;
}
} It probably fails if there are any selectable objects that aren't text frames. I know everyItem() exists and would probably be simpler, but I couldn't get it to work with parentStory.

Sure, here you go. You can see in the top right of the first page is the desired style. On the third page there's an original horizontal Japanese orientation text frame (in case that helps with anything).

The composer was originally "Adobe Japanese Paragraph Composer," but it's been changed to a World Ready one as part of its new paragraph style. I'm working with .indds supplied by a Japanese company. Japanese composer is still enabled in my non-Japanese InDesign. I'm not very experienced with Javascript, should the script for changing text orientation be: app.documents.textFrame.parentStory.storyPreferences.storyOrientation=StoryHorizontalOrVertical.HORIZONTAL If so, it looks like that doesn't work even when Japanese composer is on. Maybe it requires Japanese InDesign? That would be really weird.

Oh, I totally forgot about that, nice catch. Unforunately, its object style was only applying the right-alignment. So it's still rotated and slightly smaller.

I have two text frames, both in the SAME paragraph and character style, with no style overrides (according to InDesign). However, one of them has some weird Japanese formatting options applied to it, making it right-aligned, rotated, and slightly smaller: I'm aware there's a Japanese version of InDesign, but I have no idea how Japanese formatting works, so it doesn't seem useful to me. Using it shouldn't be necessary, anyway: the desired style is in the same document. How can I make the "Japanese" text frame look like the "normal" text frame?

Of course, but I don't care half as much about the preview as I do the actual export. Worst case scenario I can keep the PSD open in another image viewer to verify the changes I'm making; but what do I do when the flattened image is also glitched?

When a Puppet Warp effect is applied as a Smart Filter to an object, and that object is given a layer effect, things get really glitchy, depending on the zoom levels. Here's a short gif demonstrating it: Here is the full image when I save it as a .png: Using the latest version of Photoshop 2021, Windows 10 Pro, Intel i7-7700k, AMD Sapphire 5700.

I'm having an additional problem with the type tool. I'm experiencing the invisible frame, baseline, and highlighting on CMYK and greyscale images. But I'm also having a problem where transforming a text layer is EXTREMELY slow, while transforming a text layer along with another layer works as usual. Here's an example: Does anyone know how to fix this issue? Using the latest version of Photoshop, Windows 10 Pro, i7-7700k, Sapphire Pulse 5700.

I have a font with two axes, weight and width. I have text with multiple weights. How can I change the width without changing the weight? When a variable font has multiple styles, the variable options button is greyed out. Is there a way to keep it open? If not, is there some third-party extension for working with variable fonts?

In InDesign 2019, I bound Shift-Enter to the Select Tool. Using the keyboard shortcut WHILE editing a text frame would exit the text frame and then pick the Select Tool. In InDesign 2020, this no longer works. Shift-Enter can't be used to pick any tool while in a text frame, but other keyboard shortcuts can do it as it worked in 2019. The keyboard shortcut does work while NOT in a text frame. This is after unbinding Shift-Enter from the default command, Insert White Space: Nonbreaking Space or something. On Windows 10 64-bit

When strokes are applies to groups with large contents, "phantom" strokes in the form of large rectangles are created, which are only visible when zoomed in past a certain point, and change upon further zooming. It's really hard to describe it, so here's an video showing how I produce the glitch and how it behaves. https://gfycat.com/peskymasculinebilby Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a large transparent canvas (I used a size of 10,000x10,000) 2. Make two brush strokes far apart (brush or pencil tool) 3. Create a group for that layer 4. Add a stroke to that layer (not shown in the video, but it's a basic stroke with "outside" position) 5. (Optional) Play around by zooming in or drawing on that layer, or using the eraser tool on blank canvas as I did in the video. When exported, the phantom stroke is much larger than it appears in Photoshop. Here is an example, you may have to download the image to see it with transparency: https://i.imgur.com/m5jIEQj.png Adobe Photoshop Version: 21.0.1 20191106.r.47 2019/11/06: 3152b481f18 x64 Operating System: Windows 10 64-bit

InDesign crashes on launch. If opening a file, InDesign runs long enough that I can see the file itself breifly before it crashes. If launched alone, InDesign crashes after the "What's New" screen appears. Reseting preferences doesn't do anything. I did not and do not have this problem with InDesign v14.0.3.

Everything I'm doing in CC 2019 is the same as 2018. I'm not going to lowball the new version, I'm treating it the same as the old one. That said, the number of fonts I have activated is 1286, along with a couple hundred Typekit fonts. CC 2018 handled it just fine.
