Please see attached screenshot showing subheading working as it should and then, on the next instance, the indent changes. I cannot figure out why.
I’m building a script to fix word wrapping but I need a Thai dictionary which isn’t currently supported with Hunspell. Does anyone by chance have a User dictionary they’ve created/acquired for Thai? I’m looking to do the same for Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Arabic.
Since the 2026 versions of InDesign, I am experiencing major display/rendering issues when working with documents created for Web/Digital use. The problem occurs both when opening older existing documents and when creating completely new ones.There are two main issues:1. Incorrect scaling and positioning at different zoom levelsWhen changing the zoom level, the page/workspace and the designed elements are not displayed at the correct scale relative to each other. Frames themselves appear to be positioned correctly, but their content is visually shifted or incorrectly scaled. This makes precise layout work almost impossible because what I see on screen does not correspond to the actual document.The document itself seems to be correct: the exported result is correct, and switching to Overprint Preview also immediately displays everything correctly. However, working permanently in Overprint Preview should not be necessary and for RGB its obsolet.2. Incorrect RGB color display with transpa
Indesign 21.3 / OS Tahoe 26.3.1 / Synology servermounting Synology server using SMB protocolLately, I & my teammates have been having an issue where Indesign is dropping its links to the server. Can’t save the file either. Close out of ID file and the server partitions are still mounted and I can navigate them. However, cannot work off the server. ID will open the file again, but links are missing. Closing the file does not remove the ID lock file either. Have to manually eject the partitions and remount the drive. Our IT team (outsourced) tends to be PC people and think that Adobe apps can be overly sensitive to network conditions. We’re on a very fast server & switch. They think moving back to AFP protocol may help. Anyone have experience with this issue? Please don’t say work locally. In 2026 that’s possibly the worst thing anyone can say. :D
Hello, even though I completely uninstalled InDesign (including all old versions) and then reinstalled it, I’m still experiencing the same bug: when I open another InDesign document, suddenly the Command-Z shortcut stops working. I'm using the latest version of InDesign and macOS Sequoia — though this issue has been happening for years across different versions of InDesign and macOS. Can anyone help? It’s incredibly frustrating and such a waste of time.
Windows 10, ID ver. 20.4. I made an unpleasant discovery today. I’m working with a client who laid out a book in InDesign but didn’t feel like she could make the conversion to ePub. There are about 85 photographs in the book. I asked her to insert Alt Text for each of these in Bridge under IPTC Core/Alt Text (Accessibility). I checked each image under Object/Object Export Options in ID, and the Alt Text was there, under "From XMP:Alt Text (Accessibility)". So InDesign is picking up the tags. But when I exported the file to ePub and happened to check the html, I see that all the alt fields for these images are empty (alt=””). The images she worked on are the ones linked in InDesign, so it’s not that she was working on the wrong folder of images. She didn’t have an object style applied to the images and I thought that might be a factor. But when I created an object style, specified Alt Text Source as “From XMP: Alt Text (Accessibility)”, applied that to one of the photos, the object styl

It used to be that every time I updated InDesgn I would change the number in the applicationpreferences .plist from 256 to 257. That worked and I got all the character handling extras etc. Until this time. Changing the number resulted in no change and no Japanese handling. I really need it, so any advice would be urgently appreciated!(And no, I don't want the Japanese version, just the extra text handling options in the English-language version)
Issue: InDesign Publish Online Errors #33 (Update) and #18 (New Publish)Hi everyone,I'm trying to publish both our company’s indoor and outdoor catalogs using InDesign's Publish Online feature. I've used Publish Online every year for several years without any issues, so this behavior is completely new.When I try to update an existing published document (my preferred workflow), I consistently receive Error #33. If I instead try to publish it as a new online document, I receive Error #18.This is happening with both of our catalogs, not just a single file.I've already tried the troubleshooting steps I found on Adobe's forums and support articles, but none have resolved the issue.Troubleshooting I've tried:Signed out of Adobe Creative Cloud, restarted my computer, and signed back in. Updated InDesign to the latest version and restarted. Tried publishing while connected to our VPN and while disconnected from the VPN. Verified that my system date and time are set to update automatically. Sav
In italiano non si va ma a capo con una vocale, tranne nel caso dei dittonghi (https://accademiadellacrusca.it/it/consulenza/divisione-in-sillabe/302#:~:text=aia%2C%20aio%2C%20aiu)%2C,%2C%20pa%2Dio%2Dlo.). Come si può correggere questo errore fastidiosissimo che ammorba ormai tutti i libri in italiano?So che posso correggere le singole parole il cui a capo è sbagliato, ma vorrei che il problema venisse risolto automaticamente dal programma. Ringrazio anticipatamente che mi può aiutare a risolvere il problema,Matteo
Hi I am fairly new to InDesign and am trying to create a Table of Contents. I have created a Paragraph Style with Large text, in bold, callled 'Table of Contents Heading'. If I create some text using this paragraph style it shows exactly as I want. However, when I try to create a Table of Contents, and instruct InDesign to use this for the Title Style, it just shows a basic White Text. I have attached a couple of marked up screenshots showing the Table of Contents with the wrong Title Style and odd objects, and also a screen shot of the TOC Settings. The Green shows the Parapgraph Style in a normal Text Box, all Good.The Red shows the TOC Title which should look the same as the text circled in Green.The Orange shows items I have no idea where they have come from. Nothing I try makes any difference. If I double click into the Table of Contents and select the text, it states that it is in the Style I want, but the Font size and all other attributes are
I am updating a document from two years ago. I’m attempting to convert Montserrat to the version served by Adobe fonts, and the Find/Replace Fonts dialog will not allow me to select all of the weights I have activated. The typeface appears to be split between two identical entries, both titled “Montserrat (OTF)” - one entry contains three weights, the other contains the remaining 15. When I attempt to replace the old, deactivated font in Find/Replace Fonts, I select the first of these duplicate entries, and I have the option below to choose between three weights. If I select the second of the entries, I can still only access those same three weights. There is no way I can see to select any of the remaining 15 weights of the typeface, so Find/Replace becomes useless and I have to manually make these changes across the entire document, and within all of the Paragraph and Character Styles.I have deactivated and deleted all other versions of Montserrat, only activating the Adobe Fonts vers

I've used InDesign for at least 15 years and until a few years ago it was great. But over the past few years it has gotten worse and worse in regard to crashing and just doing odd things. This has been my experience, first when I got a top of the line 2020 iMac with an M1 chip, and now with a brand new Mac Studio with an M2 Max chip, 64GB memory and Apple Studio monitor. The main issue is that it crashes on an almost daily basis. Fortunately I haven't lost a file yet, but it's still annoying. I've been on the phone with Adobe tech support a number of times, but despite removing the preferences, updating the OS and app version, etc, etc, any improvement lasts maybe a week. It also does weird things like defaults to a different workspace arrangement everytime I leave InDesign to momentarily work in another program. I've reset my preferred workspace (no docs open) numerous times. Occasionally things like text color or edits don't view properly. I have to toggle
Hi, I'm using InDesign (Beta) via the AI Assistant panel, and every time I submit a prompt, I get this message:"This version of InDesign (Beta) is out of date. Update to 21.6.0.58 or later to keep working. Get it from Creative Cloud > Apps > Beta > InDesign (Beta)."The problem is, when I go to Creative Cloud Desktop > Apps > InDesign (Beta), it shows Version 21.6 as the currently installed version, and under "Other versions" it lists 21.6 as the latest version available (with only older builds — 21.5, 21.4, 21.3, 21.2 — listed below it). There's no option to update to anything newer than 21.6.I've already tried:Fully quitting and relaunching the app Uninstalling and reinstalling InDesign (Beta) completelyThe warning persists every time. Is 21.6.0.58 not yet rolled out to all accounts/regions? Is there a way to manually check for or force this specific sub-version? Any help would be appreciated — I'm trying to use the AI Assistant to set up a new document and can't get pa
You share for review doesn’t work. There are ton of comments my clients have put on the review link but none of them are showing now.Why do you keep releasing these untested garbage features, if it can’t work at a basic level.
Missing fonts are Minion Pro Semibold, Minion Pro Italic, and Myriad Pro Semibold.
Is there any plugin or extension that can connect doc files that have 100s of pages to InDesign, including photos? I have heard about the Drivesync, but never used it.
Mijn document heeft verschillende linkjes in de tekst staan, ook over meerdere regels. Echter wanneer de link op de eerste regel eindigt met een / of een _, breekt de link ook als ik het exporteer naar PDF. De link die daarboven staat, werkt wel gewoon in z'n geheel. Is er een oplossing, zonder dat ik alle links bij langs moet gaan en apart een hyperlink moet gaan toewijzen?
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!
What are the basic tools I need to start studying UXP—specifically, to migrate code from ExtendScript to UXP?
I realize this is a common issue for users but I cannot publish online, get an error 18 message every time. I am absolutely connected online, i have done everything i can to address the issue based on what I’ve read in the forum, and nothing is working. Why is it that there are no human beings to talk to about this with? Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated.
