InDesign

Every time I opne Indesign it crashes before opening. I have to unistall and install againg to make it work, but same problem will occur upon next use.

Hallo, ich arbeite seit über einem Jahrzehnt mit InDesign, aber das ist mir noch nicht untergekommen und ich frage mich, ob es Theorien gibt, wie das passieren kann (weil ich selbst keine habe):Ich habe ein Buchdokument, in dem 4 Doppelseiten als Musterseiten angelegt sind mit jeweils Seitenzahl und Kapiteltitel. Final habe ich die Datei gesammelt und dann ein Druck-pdf geschrieben. Da ist mir dann aufgefallen, dass die Seitenzahlen und Kapiteltitel fehlen und daraufhin das gesammelte Dokument kontrolliert. Die Musterseiten im gesammelten Dokument waren plötzlich leer. Es ist unmöglich, dass ich den Inhalt von 4 Doppel-Musterseiten versehentlich gelöscht habe, also muss ich davon ausgehen, dass beim Sammeln die Musterseiten nicht mitgenommen wurden. Export-Einstellung dafür gibt es meines wissens nicht. Hat jemand eine Idee, wie das passieren kann? Danke schon im Voraus.

This issue was brought up 5 days ago and has not been addressed despite a team member saying it was fixed. Creating a new post to hopefully gain some more traction.  Anyone figure out work arounds? Or is it a server issue Adobe has to fix?

I just updated the review link and it got rid of all my comments from the original link. How can I restore them and get them back?

Hello everyone! I'm working on a large report on Adobe InDesign and I'm having some bugs with the hyphenation. Some words are divided totally wrong, like ac-ademic (it should be aca-dem-ic), scienc-es (it should be sci-ences), etc. All me settings are in English:USA and now I don't know what to do because it's imposible to check each word in the dictionary and to change on my Personal Dictionary. Any suggestion? Thanks, guys!

Hi, please check my attached files, it happens when i select boxes , but not always.

I'm using a font with a capital "R" that I want to replace everywhere with its "Stylistic alternate (salt)", which is much more suitable than the default glyph. The font doesn't seem to contain any stylistic sets that I can enable, nor does this alternate glyph seem to be enabled by changing any of the OpenType options, such as swashes or contextual alternatives. I can't seem to generate a character style that will do this. I also haven't had any success using find and replace to make this change. The only way I currently have of changing this is using the hover-over contextual menu, and this isn't practical for every instance of this glyph in the text. My question is, is there a way within InDesign for this change to occur automatically? I've searched other questions here and can't find an answer for this particular case.      

I have a made a document in indesign and exported it to an interactive pdf.When I look at in a browser some extra content shows in the navigation meny/table of content (to the left in the browser, see attached image, all above the yellow lines)I have tried to find it in the indesign document, but it is invisible.What can i do?

I have a csv files typed with Unicode Myanmar Font (Pyidaungsu Font) and Data Merge import can not shown correct characters in InDesign. Attached my test data files and some screen shots. 

Hello, I'm trying to create some text that has this after each paragraph, as a kind of fancy paragraph rule:♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦It's just 5 diamond characters. Firstly I tried creating a custom line style - the "White Diamond" line would be perfect - if it were filled. (And no, changing the "Gap Colour" does not fix this). So I looked at ways to create a custom line style, and despite Indesign clearly supporting diamond (and footprint, etc) shapes, I can't find a way to create a truly custom line style, and it sems importing Ai stroke styles is (AFAIK) not an option. So my question, assuming a custom diamond line style is not possible to create, is there any way to make Indesign add those 5 diamond characters after each paragraph automagically? Thanks in advance for any help! ~ Paul

Hello, good evening! I would like some help!I need to make a backdrop with the names of 2,000 employees of a company. I will receive this file in Excel. I need the names to be side by side, separated by a few spaces. Can I do this using data merge?

My InDesign document got many hyperlinks, which are generated through automation when it is exported accessibilty pdf the link tag is selecting previous link.

Something terrible happened after InDesign upgrade to 2025 version, MacOS's spinning beach ball spins every time the cursor moves, and InDesign is lagging soooo badly (I work on MBA 15” M3, RAM 24GB, macOS Sequoia 15.0.1). Have you experienced something like this? Is there any solution for this?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Dear community, is there any way to create a custom paragraph style to allow bullets to have the first two or three words or any words before the dash be bold and blue and then any words after the dash be black and regular same font?

Hi! I'm experiencing page rendering issues after scrolling through documents. This problem occurs exclusively on Windows 11 systems—both on a laptop with integrated graphics and on a desktop with a dedicated Radeon GPU. The rendering behaves normally on macOS; I haven't encountered this issue on any Mac device. I am using InDesign 19.5.5.

I'm pretty sure the answer to my question is 'no', but I wonder how one might approach this?  I want to apply a running footer where the paragraph style "Head 1" displays on the footer. That works fine, but sometimes I need to force a page jump for the Head 1 text, so I created a paragraph style with the page jump and called it "Head 1 next pg." I want both of these Head 1 lines of text in my footer.  Let's say I have a chapter on planets. The first section is Mercury, and "mercury" shows in the footer until it encounters the next "Head 1" style, which is "Mars." Trouble is, Mars was landing at the bottom of the page, so I applied the Head 1 next pg" style to force it to the next page. The problem is, only "Head 1" can be in the running header, so Mercury continues in the footer until I have a regular Head 1 header.  The way I see it, I only have 1 option: stop using the 'Head 1 next pg' paragraph style, and instead manually apply the 'next page'

Olá. Instalei os softwares Adobe no Windows 11 e ao imprimir, as configurações não estão ficando salvas nas preferências da impressora. Cada vez que volto nesta caixa de diálogo, está tudo nas configurações padrão. Alguém já teve esta dificuldade?

So I'm not new to print, having worked on some glossy perfect bound magazines for a few years. I'm due to start a new role on a newspaper. As it is UK tabloid size, I thought I'd mock up some layouts based on sizes available, but clearly this was before seeing the product – my InDesign margin, trim, bleed seem way out. So far what I gather: newspapers don't have bleed, I assume this is correct. Editorial, and adverts are type area only unless going across two pages where you have to account for the extra 20mm centre gutter.Also, what is this? The front half of the newspaper overhangs the back? Should this be accounted for in InDesign, or is a quirk of printing newspapers? I'd appreciate any pointers or tips on setting up InDesign, or newspaper production in general. I'm sure all will be clear once I start, but just wanted to get ahead.

Bonjour, Help, j'ai installé un profil ICC sur mac selon la marche à suivre (Bibliothèque -> Colorsync -> profiles, redémarré Indesign, l'ordinateur) mais rien n'y fait, le profil n'apparaît pas dans ma liste lorsque je veux l'attribuer au document.

Hi,  I'm trying to create a package on Indesign Server 2025 (Windows). No package is generated, but also no exception is thrown. The script works well on the desktop version (Mac).  try { result = _myIndesignDoc.packageForPrint(packageDocFolder, copyFonts, copyLinks, copyProfiles, updateGraphics, includeHiddenLayers, ignorePreflightErrors, createReport, includeIDML, includePDF); } catch (ex) { log("ERROR", "ERROR: Could not create package: " + ex); } How to find out why the package is not created. Does Indesign server has some extended logging? Can this be a performance issue? Lack of CPU / Memory? Thank you. Tm

Bonjour.Que se passe-t-il ?Ce matin, une partie des outils de révisions en ligne ont DISPARUE : les outils B (Icône Texte surligné), C (Icône Texte barré) et D (Remplacement de texte).Est-ce volontaire de la part d'Adobe ? J'espère que non car là, ce serait une grave erreur. Comment retrouver un commentaire sur un texte qui court sur plusieurs blocs ou pages ? Le seul intérêt de cet outil de révision est sur la précision des demandes sur les textes.Avez-vous une info à propos de cette disparition ?

Hello, I have a number of documents that I created in InDesign, which get edited for personalization and then printed every time we get a new client. For these documents, I printed directly from InDesign, and had created preint presets which specified the exact printing paraments I needed (such as paper drawer, duplexing, finishing with staple, etc.)  Then my employer got a new printer. None of the print presets work any longer, nor can I create new ones. InDesign does not seem to recognize the new printer in order to choose paper, duplexing etc. I did try edting the existing print presets, which seemed to work on my ID screen, but since I work remotely, I cannot check to see if they are pulling the paper from the correct drawer. In addition, there is no longer an option to choose the bypass tray for index stock or labels. The company that installed the printer has no idea how to help. They tried installing various drivers, which did nothing. I'm running ID (up to date) on a
