InDesign

Hey, im trying to import an ilustration from AI to Indesign, and no matter how i do it (SVG, AI, PDF, PNG) it ends up pixelated, and if i try copying and pasting this message shows, any help on how to fix it?? i dont seem to find the solution on my own. thank you in advanced.

I am at my wits end. Windows 11. 64 gigs ram, Latest i7 processor, rtx 3080 12 gig. Of late indesign has turned into molasses. Critical areas of concern are updating page number in books, and updating contents page. I am not talking a while, I mean a 40 page document taking 3 mins plus to update. But asides from this the whole interface is just rubbish. In the end I decided the nuclear option and downloaded CC cleaner and acro cleaner and nuked the entire install, everything. Then reinstalled. Indesign back to great, things flying, fantastic. 2 days later, boom back to square one. Is there a fix for this, beyond being told to reset preferences, because this is not the issue and I have proven that? 

where??? EDIT: thanks for the replies, but I am aware of master pages but what I want to do is create a guide on a live page (without having to use master page as I can't see content on the page I need) where that guide will line up with content, then go to next page and see that same guide so I can line up more similar content. And then delete those guides. Using master page is not helpful in this manner. Regarding the "button" here is a search result: 

Bonjour,  Je souhaiterais écrire les numéros de page active en toutes lettres et en anglais (one, two, three, four, etc), y a-t-il un moyen d'automatiser cela ?Merci par avance pour votre aide !  

Hi everyone. I wonder if anyone smarter than me can give me a nudge in the right direction here.... I've put together a script that automatically formats the text of a selected box to general body copy  and then formats the first three paras as headers and one of two intro styles, all using paragraph styles. So far so good. But... Occassionally the text will have some italicised words in it. When I manually set Paragraph Styles it don't disrupt these italics, it just change the font family and the size, but leave the italicisation as it is. The same is not true of the same process when i use this script. I cannot work out why there would be a difference here. Trying to find out more I came across a post that was answered with what might have been a solution by Jongware back in 2012, but his link points to what now seems to be a walware infested site, so i think the sands of time have swallowed that avenue... Can anyone explain what I'm doing wrong? here's the c

Make the image the same width as the textFrame, then place the image on top and align it to the left.There are two scenarios:the image is outside the textFrame or the image is inserted inside the textFrame.There may be multiple images, but only one textFrame

Good morning Everyone,   I am hoping someone can help me.... I've been asked to create a document that would be ESEF-ready. I use InDesign as my favoured document software but this "ESEF" is new to me. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be a massive help!   Thank you for your time, Rob

Hello! Thank you for your time.  To keep it brief: - making an A5 flyer to send to a print shop- can confirm the page size is 148 x 210mm- have added a bleed of 3mm and margin of 3mm as requested by print shop- when i export to PDF, the document far exceeds the 160 x 222mm, where it seems to have added another 9mm / 4.5mm each side. This doesn't seem to change if I try to turn off one or other or the corner markings.  Please help! Many thanks  

Hello! I have a PNG of a QR code generated outside of adobe that I'm trying to place into a flyer in InDesign. The image works and is stable elsewhere. When I place (linked) into my document, it appears normal and after a minute or so it glitches out, and changes every minute or so. I think some other community posters are experiencing the same thing but many of the answers are related to the native QR code feature. See attached images for examples. I can delete the placed image and place it again and it will appear normal for a few minutes before doing this again. Each time it looks different. 

Is there a way that i can globally update a word/number once, and it globally updates throughout the indd file? I'm working on a report that references numeric data values throughout, both inside indd tables, and text boxes, and i have to meticulously track any updates throughout the document. If there was a way to link numbers throughout the report as I go, that i can globally update as changes process, that would be very helpful!

I am having a problem where artwork created in Illustrator and saved as a .ai file are showing hidden, locked layers when placed into InDesign.  The strange thing is that Indesign is recognizing some of the links with the hidden layer and keeping that layer hidden while not so with others. All of the links have been created from the same basic Illustrator file that I have done a "save as" over to create a new file. I just updated to the most recent versions this morning (Illustrator 23.1.1, Indesign 14.0.3). I have a workaround that I was able to come up with for this particular project I am working on, but I would like to know if there is a solution (an adjustment to preferences perhaps) I can use for the future. I feel like I cannot possibly be the first person to have this problem, so if there is another post somewhere with the solution to this, please let me know—I just couldn't find anything. 

I have placed a Word doc that contains end notes. All the note references in the text come into InDesign, but only about 2/3 of the notes get placed. I have had problems in the past when there are text boxes in Word that interrup the flow of text, but I removed all of those and put the text they had contained into the regular flow of text. Any ideas of how to fix the note cutoff?    ID 20.5 Mac Studio M2 Max OS Sequoia 15.6.1 Word for Mac 16.101.3

I'm working with a document which contains a lot of these characters, which can be found with Find/Replace as <FEFF>, but everytime i try to delete any of them the program crashes. Other discussions in this forum referred to it as a text anchor, but there are no hyperlinks on the document, i'm using Indesign 2023.

Just exported a PDF from InDesign set to :View: Fit Page | Layout: Two-Up (Cover Page) Renders great in Firefox : Cover first, then 2 pages per row, then back cover. Perfect! But Edge and Opera will only display one page per row, ignoring the Two-Up layout setting. Haven't tried in Chrome, but I assume the behavior mimicks Edge's. Is there no way to force the uncooperative browsers to display those 2-page spreads two pages per row? It's not like I added any special extensions to FF; is it an Adobe partner while the other ones aren't? Can coding trickery overcome this or is this a browser limitation I have to live with?

I'm working on designing documents using InDesign, by transferring content from Word.

Hello, When placing the main large-format photograph, what is the best practice for its color mode and resolution to ensure high-quality printing, and which InDesign panel would you use to verify its link status and color mode?

I've used a font called "Berkeley Old Style" for a layout in Adobe InDesign in 2019. I jsut tried to locate it in Adobe Fonts and the message says it can't find it. Does anyone know what happened to that font in Adobe. Or is there an alternative font I can use?

Hello,Could you tell me if there's a way to automatically impose the pages of a multi-page brochure in InDesign?Or from a PDF file?

Object styles seem to allow duplicate names as long as they're in different groups.The condition"if(!d.objectStyles.itemByName(a1).isValid)" doesn't appear to check for "a1" within its own group.Instead, it requires this approach:if(!d.objectStyleGroups.itemByName(“AA”).objectStyles.itemByName(a1).isValid)) Since I don't know all group names, is there a way to check if the style `a1` exists in any group or outside all groups?

Are there any good guides online or in print to formatting a book with InDesign?  I have 300 pages of scanned editable text and a few grayscale photos from my wife's book, Iron-Jawed Angels by Linda G. Ford for which she has obtained the copyright and wants to issue a reprint.  I have produced a book using PageMaker back in the day, but am new to InDesign.  Any suggestions in getting started would be greatly appreciated.
