InDesign

I installed the new Indesign 2025 and it has been unsuable (I get the spinning beach ball everytime I try to scroll). So I have gone back to 2024 but now have issues with it crashing and I lost work. Anyone else having big issues with 2024 since the update of 2025? Or anyone know how to solve the 2025 issues so it is actually usable? (I am on a Mac, Apple M1 Max chip, 64 GB memory running Sequoia 15.0.1). Thank you!      <Title renamed by MOD>

Hi. Can you please bring back previous Magnifying glass' behaviour? Or give us an option to choose new or old one? I definitely prefer to mark an area to zoom in and I assume I'm not the only one.   <Title renamed by MOD>

This is for FrameMaker, not InDesign, but it's basically a ScriptUI question. It's also somewhat related to: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/can-i-pass-arguments-to-include-script/td-p/15286930#M622092 Consider this simple code:ShowWindow1(); ShowWindow2(); function ShowWindow1(){ var w = new Window ("palette", "Window 1"); btn1 = w.add ("button", undefined, "OK"); ckbx1 = w.add("checkbox", undefined,"Check Box"); w.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel"); btn1.onClick=function(){ alert("You clicked OK on Window 1"); } w.show (); } function ShowWindow2(){ //w.close; var w = new Window ("palette", "Window 2"); btn1 = w.add ("button", undefined, "OK"); w.add ("button", undefined, "Cancel"); btn1.onClick=function(){ alert("You clicked OK on Window 2"); alert(ckbx1.value); } w.show (); }I'm having a hard time understanding the following issues:ckbx1 seems to be "global" - i

Hi, I am looking to develop a list of common reason why InDesign might crash when exporting to EPUB.Looking in the community I see that endnotes and hyperlinks might be a problem. Any other common things to look out for? I appreciate this may seem an open-ended question and some crashes may be to do with processing power and file corruption, but I am just asking for common problems outside these areas as I am not able to share the file. Here is a scenario: I am working on a lenghty ID document (600+ page plus) with images, tables, multiple fonts, bi-directional text, etc. The export to EPUB consistently crashes, even with basic export settings, seemingly after just the first few images are exported. However, previous versions of the document (backups before finalising) do not crash when exporting to EPUB. So, my hunch is that there is some small type of formatting that occurred in the last phase of the project which is causing the crash (nothing fundamenta

Is it possible to select (or delete) several objects on multiple pages or spreads at once in InDesign? And I would like to do this via the UI. I can only select objects on a given spread at most.This thread for CS3 indicates that it is not possible: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/selecting-text-frames-on-multiple-pages/m-p/1126364?page=1#M367607 My question is for CS4.Thanks.

I am using the paragraph rule to highlight the numbers in a multilevel numbered list.is there a way to ensure the numbers appear exactly in the middle of the highlight?In the screenshot you can see some numbers are off centre, some too low etc.I thought tabular lining would solve it but it didn't. I'd be grateful for any suggestions.                            

Hello folks,Why this post?I'm interested in knowing some of your experience about layout automation. Obviously the good ideas, but also the bad ones (like don't go this way, it's a waste of time) and some possible new areas to be explored.  Let's be honest, I'm not a pro at scripting, by far, but I'm eager to learn. That's a start I guess.I understand that a good scripter should not only know the coding part, but also apply the best strategy to get to his goal. I believe it's rather easy to write "some" code that works (oversimplified, I know) it's another story to "know what to write" and understand what are the best tools and the structure that should be put in place.That's why I'm asking you.  For pieces of advice, respectfully. What is my project about?I'd like to build routines and scripts to give me a hand at making layouts of books of hundreds of pages.The end game is not to have something 100% automated, but rather a tool box and a routine that can help spee

Hallo! Habe eben CC installiert und InDesign 2021 (16.4.) geladen. Ich sehe keine Arbeitsfläche, Werkzeuge oder Dokumente obwohl offensichtlich ein neues Dokument angelegt wurde. Denn beim Schließen fragt er, ob das Dokument gsichert werden soll. MacBook Pro OS 10.14.5 Mojave Wer hat eine Idee, was es sein könnte? 

I have a couple of section markers that have long titles, how do I display them on multiple lines?I've made the text box ample size and the marker text insists on squashing itself on one line.Any ideas or fixes would be appreciated.

I've noticed that Indesign Publish Online now uses GA4. I've got a client that wants to historic data on their documant. Is there any way of retreiving this information? When did it change to GA4?

Hello I need to paragraph sort an Indesign document with headwords written in Cree Syllabics (UTF-8). I am wondering whether there is a scripting solution? Any suggestions or help would be useful. The font in question is BJCree UNI and I have the character order I would like the program to use. For any professionals who see this - I would be happy to pay for assistance, so if you want to contact me with a quote please don't hesitate. Thanks, John

Hi gang, I wish there was some sort of comparison table showing which accessibility new feature/improvement goes with which output medium: PDF or EPUB. Every next patch and version of InDesign announces a new accessibility feature improvement, but it rarely indicates whether it is for accessible epub or for accessible pdf. Help me make such a definitive list?

Hi,I have an issue with a fixed layout epub, my team reported back to me this error when trying to upload it. This is a first time that it has popped up and I don't know what it means. Has anyone ever had this and how can I fix it?  " PKG-026: Obfuscated resource must be a Font Core Media Type (was declared as "application/x-font-ttf" in "OEBPS/content.opf").META-INF/encryption.xml L5 META-INF/encryption.xml L23 " screenshot here : 

Hi, I'm trying to install new fonts into InDesign. It used to be an extremely simple operation, but now I can't find any button to download. Typekit or Adobe Fonts or whatever its is now only gives me an option to save fonts into libraries. The library I created for this does not show anywhere. I have managed to go into the CC desktop app to install a few of the previously saved ones but many others are nowhere to be found. I'd appreciate some help with this issue which is so frustrating given that it has certainly degraded the user experience. 

Are we able to use Adobe fonts to create accessible PDFs using InDesign and Acrobat? If so, then why are they corrupting with a protected error? 

Hi, I have this little script problem that would save me hundreds of hours of work time a year. Could someone help me? The customer delivers a word document with product information, for example, to a 50-page product catalog (more than 400 products). The texts are copied to Indesign on a page-by-page basis and paragraph styles are manually added to the texts. I want to have the text frames divide/split according to paragraph styles and that I can decide which paragraphs they are (for example "Product number", "Price 1" and "Price 2"). Here is an example of which paragraph styles are used in the product information:Product nameProduct SpecificationProduct translationBody textProduct numberPrice 1Price 2 Below is a visual explanation of how I would like the script to work. Is this possible?

Hi there! I have a number of images placed throughout a very large document in indesign. I have used CC libraries to place them all. It seems like it would be fairly easy to automatically create a group or sort my library based on the images I have already placed. However I can't seem to find a way to do that. Yes -  in hindsight, I should have created a group and added the images as I went. Lesson learned. Aside from using my links panel and going through one by one and manually creating a group in the library's panel, am I missing something? Is there a way to automate this? Thank you!!

Uupdated ID this morning. Now I get the blue spinning circle as if exporting to PDF. I can open/close/edit InDesign files occasionally. Other times I have to force quite. Even after quitting ID and restarting computer, I get the spinner. See attached video. I'll probably delete app and install but was curious if this is a bug or something on my end. 

When updating copy in InCopy, it will not hold the formatting in a table that was set in InDesign. Even if it's just adding a period to the end of the sentence. Does any one know how to correct this? I appreciate anyone suggestions.

Hello!    I'm having an trouble the background task feature on InDesign. I downloaded two fonts from DaFont to spice up my magazine, and since then I haven't been able to save or export my document because it is continuously "activating font" under background tasks and isn't stopping. There is no option to delete (see picture). Has anyone had experience with this? I'm afraid to ctrl-alt-delete because I don't want my document to not be saved.    This post from 2020 had a similar issue, but after I did what the commentor suggested (went to Find/Replace Font and clicked "Redefine Style When Changing All" for all the non-normalized fonts) it still didn't work. I'm at a loss as to what to do. 

Bonjour à tous, Je souhaiterai exporter l'ensemble de mes variantes de mise en page d'un meme fichier dans des pdfs distinct. Est ce que quelqu'un saurait comment faire s'il vous plait ? Je ne trouve aucune formulation qui fonctionne. Cordialement,Claire. 

I've been busy putting lots of index markers into a 174-page document. When I finished, I directed ID to generate the index. I got a message saying "Index successfully replaced." I didn't think there was an index yet in the document, but that aside, no index entries of any sort appeared in the document, nor did I have a loaded cursor with which to paste the supposedly replaced index. I have no idea what's going on. Does anyone else have an idea?   ID obviously thinks there is an index in there somewhere, but there is no visible sign of it. In theory, at least, I could delete all the index markers and start over again, but I'm eager to avoid that if possible.   Thanks.   <Title renamed by MOD>

Not sure how best to describe my issue here...But im trying to make a planning for my class and I have formatted the first cell in the style i would like (the pink line will be changed to white prior to printing). Now the "01" and "TUE" are different font sizes and have been center aligned to the smaller pink cell - is there a way i can apply to all other cells so i can simply go in and edit the days for each month with fixing the font style of match? 

Hi all,I’m working on a custom plugin for InDesign using the SDK and am trying to customize the behavior of a 9-grid reference point proxy widget (similar to the one used in the Transform panel). My goal is to display a vertical line spanning the middle column (Top Center, Center, Bottom Center points: 1, 4, 7) when one mode is active ("Height Only"), and a horizontal line spanning the middle row (Center Left, Center, Center Right points: 3, 4, 5) when another mode is active ("Width Only"). Currently, the proxy widget consistently activates only the middle column (1, 4, 7) in both modes, and I can’t get the horizontal line to activate the middle row. I’m using the IProxyWidgetAttributes interface to set the appearance (e.g., kLine, kRow, or kColumn) and the active position (e.g., kCenterReferencePoint). I’ve implemented a custom method to handle the orientation, but it only works for the vertical (middle column) case. Here’s a generalized version of my approach: private:
