InDesign

This is quite a frequent bug I have lately. Whenever I am switching to other app while InDesign is idle (can still be seen on screen; not minimized), and when going back to Indesign, some weird bug happen in one combo. The cursor icon will stuck showing Move tool or Hand tool, regardless I am actually using Pen Tool, Type Tool or other tools. Actual tool is functioning normally, but showing a wrong tool icon is frustrating.In the same time, I cannot do any Undo. The history list stop recording any new changes or actions, even clicking on the previous History records do not change anything, stuck as well. Cannot do undo is a nightmare. When this occur, Indesign cannot be closed in normal way.. must be terminated through Activity Monitor. I am using Macbook Pro M1 Pro 32GB RAM. Latest current InDesign (21.5.1). Hopefuly any solution to this. 

I was working on a project using Adobe InDesign (on a Mac), saving copies of the file as I went along, as well as saving copies to my desktop. I have finished the project, and no longer need the 20 copies I have saved. I deleted the copies from my desktop, but they still appear in InDesign. When I try to click on the copies, it says: Either the file does not exist, you do not have permission, or the file may be in use by another application. The thing is, I am the owner of the files, and my laptop is now losing 20% battery/hour while it is logged off because the program is using so much energy. How do I fix this problem?

This is not a question, more something I keep wondering about.Has it ever struck you that the Layers panel has not really changed in years?It sits in the corner. To move an object one layer down you open it, find thelayer and drag a small square. On a leaflet with fifteen layers that is most of my day.At some point I stopped complaining and built what I wanted instead.Smart Layers:- one shortcut opens it right at your cursor, no hunting for a panel- click a layer name and the selected objects move there- Shift + mouse wheel moves them one layer up or down- object counts per layer, on the page and in the whole document- sort objects into layers by type, object style or what a group contains- layer templates and visibility sets, similar to Layer Comps in PhotoshopTwo versions: an AutoHotkey palette for Windows, and a UXP plugin that also runs on macOS.Short demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUggYIyQyvgDownload and manual: https://zaleskyworkflow.comBut I am still curious about the or

I installed the latest update to version 21, and InDesign won't launch. It doesn't give any errors, but it won't start. It doesn't do anything at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it, but that didn't work. Version 20 works perfectly, even the beta version 20.6. I tried reinstalling it by deleting the preferences, but that didn't work. I tried reinstalling the Creative app and reinstalling InDesign, but that didn't work.Bridge does the same thing, but it gives me error OXC0000142. InDesign, on the other hand, doesn't have any errors. Old Bridge works, but the beta version doesn't I have windows 11 last updatedWhat can I do?Thanks a lotNicola

When I create a table in InDesign 21.5.1 for an accessible PDF, IDs are not automatically generated. In Acrobat, the ID fields remain empty. In tutorials, however, I see that these are automatically filled in. Am I overlooking something?

win10, indesign，after v21.2, When layers of different types are grouped, copied to a new document, and then ungrouped, layer‑remembering functionality will fail.

At some point of the work, InDesign randomly stucks at a “checking” state. It doesn’t effect the work, the app works fine, only the cursor is “loading” which is really annoying. ALSO when I finally lose my patiente, and try to close the app, it won’t close. I have to use task manager, to close it. 

InDesign 21.4.1 on Mac Studio M1 Ultra Tahoe 26.5.1. Pretty simple and annoying bug. I am unable to stack/group panels on my workspace. This only pertains to the bottom 1-2 for some reason. You are able to place more panels below  I would confidently assume this is a reproducible bug. This has been present for the past few versions but I am just now reporting it. The workspace panel is one of the most important features for InDesign workflow and this is the second (albeit, not as annoying) bug I found that I didn’t even need to try to find…   From the gif you can see it seems like the bottom 2 groups cannot be stacked. It doesn’t seem like it matters what panel you grab.

Ich benutze Illustrator 2023 da ich auf meinem alten Mac OS 10.15.8 keine höhere Version installieren kann. Leider kann ich seit heute Indesign nicht mehr öffnen muss aber noch zwei Wochen ein Projekt fertig machen ehe ich mich um den kauf eines neuen Mac kümmern kann. Wie bringe ich Indesign wieder zum laufen, damit sich dies nochmal mit Adobe verbindet und mein Abo bestätigt wird ?

A recent update seems to have left me with a beta version of Indesign. I have popups like 'Generative Expand beta'. I’m not a casual user, I use Indesign for paid work so don't want beta stuff. Also I'm quite competent so don't need 'ai' doing stuff for me. Perhaps we need ‘ai’ and ‘non ai’ update options? Sorry if I sound a bit annoyed as I don't know if Adobe read or reply on this forum. I see others have posted issues with different unwanted features. Advice for how to get rid of or disabling beta features (on an iMac) would be appreciated.

Hello, I’d love to have the separator line align to the grid but when I apply the first line to the grid it creates this random spaces between footnotes like between footnote 5 and 6. is there a way to align the separator to the grid but always have the footnotes with no space between them as 7 & 8?

Since they removed the Pantone library from the color swatch section, what’s the easy way to add a swatch? I read several threads about this from years past but all the solutions are now deprecated...

I need some hand-holding please.I just exported to pdf, and got this message, and would be happy to fix it if I had a clue what to do:The document's transparency blend space doesn't match the destination color space specified in the Export Adobe PDF settings.To avoid color appearance changes in the PDF, click cancel and change either the document's transparency blend space, or the destination color space.  Can you please translate that into English and tell me what to do?

I’ve been having major issues with InDesign locking up ever since this update. It doesn’t crash so it doesn’t send a report either. At least two times every day, I need to either force quit the app or restart. It is very frustrating!

Hello all,Today I am facing a completely new issue, at least for me: my boo document is open, I work on it, add some body text and photos, but when I try to save, Ctrl-S doesn’t work, and when I open the File menu, all Save options are grayed out.InDesign knows that my document has been modified, as you can see from the little asterisk in the attached screen captureA.When I try to close the document, InDesign asks logically if I want to save it, but when I click Yes, it tells me that it “cannot save the document”, without any explanation (see captureB attached).I am quite puzzled and would love to hear your ideas and suggestions.Many thanks in advance.Dominique

Ho cambiato il computer e scaricato Creative Cloud per scaricare il pacchetto dei programmi disponibili e a me utili. Avrei bisogno per il mio lavoro (impaginazione con diverse case editrici) della versione 18.0 (18.5) meglio ancora, di Indesign che su Creative Cloud non è più presente. Qualcuno mi può aiutare a scaricarla?

I just tried to start CS6 - Indesign, but I'm told, that my license is used on more than two Computers. When I login to my Adobe-Account, the Licensenumer is not shown and when I try to register it, it is already registered. When I try to add the same licensenumer while startig the software, the numer is not valid. What can I do?

Hi, for some time now, after performing a few actions or working for a few minutes in InDesign, I’m no longer able to undo an action or go back—everything is greyed out. It’s really frustrating. Are you having the same issue? Thanks a lot for your replies!

Hi! In InDesign version 21.5.1, the OAM files generated in Animate don't work when I preview the spread in EPUB, nor when I export the document in Publish Online. I had to revert InDesign to version 21.4.1 for it to work as it used to. Any ideas on how to use the latest version and get the OAM files working?Thanks!

Hi everyone, Can anyone help me? I'm trying to create an InDesign snippet that contains a table, but every time I place it on the page, it messes up the layout. Has anyone experienced this before or knows how to fix it? Apologies for my english, please see the photo for reference before and after of my snippet 

After I place photo in the file, I can’t save the file. This problem occurs regardless of the file format or path.
