Hello! I have been having issues with proofing paid ads using the review links in ID because the links do not get displayes true to size. Paid ads in their nature can be pretty small and my team needs to be able to look at the as true to size to check for legibility copy, and such. The zoom tools at the bottom allow us to zoom in and out but do not display the zoom percetage we are viewing as. Am I doing something wrong? Is there a setting I can turn on to display the zoom %? Can we get the % to display in the review link? Thank you Raquel  

Hi all, I think this is probably a simple solution but I can't find an answer anywhere.I'm using indesign to size photos for our training module which has very specific dimensions and images will not dislplay correctly if they are not, for example 800x800.  I have my page set to the correct dimensions but when exporting as JPEG or PNG the final output dimensions are 1067x1067. The file size is also 3.2mb which seems large for a single image at 96dpi. As a result I've been having to open all of my exports in photoshop and resize and compress which is pretty inefficiant. Is it a settings issue? I'm on Windows 10 if that matters. Export Settings Page Size  Export size/dimensions 

Hello,Is there a way that the Share for Review feature could allow us to only share select pages from a file? I work in InDesign files that typically have over 100 pages, but I only need them to be reviewed 4 pages at a time. It would be much easier for the people reviewing the file if they didn't have to wait for a large file to load, and then scroll through dozens of pages to look at the ones that need reviewing.Thank you!

Hallo Zusammen,wir bringen von Zeit zu Zeit Kataloge raus. Teilweise bis zu 500 Seiten stark. Diese werden meist in den Sprachen Deutsch, Englisch, Italienisch und Französisch veröffentlicht.Bisher liessen wir das mit ChatGPT übersetzen, wo wir auch unser Glossar mit unseren Fachbegriffen einspielen können.Nun ist es so, dass das Ganze ja auch noch eingespielt werden muss. Gibt es da ein Plugin, Skript oder etwas anderes, wo man sich das tausende Male copy paste ersparen kann? 

Hi AdobeI'm missing the function to select objects with properties like the one currently selected, the "select same stroke" or "same color" etc. Is that not possible in Indesign? Best regards, 

Hi commnunity. Is there a method to select multiple text on a page, for exaple I have highlighted the text WELCOME, but would like to highlight more text (Underline Red Line) within the paragraph to make these words Bold. I tried holding shift, ctrl, alt, incase it worked, but didnt do the trick. Thank you 

I've enabled the Japanese version so I could type vertically and the page numbers get unevenly spaced between certain numbers .  All three boxes have the same formatting, except the first is a Japanese font. The issue seems to be that the "1" in my font of choice (second two boxes) is spaced differently than other numbers. Is there a way to get all of these to space evenly automatically? None of the tracking, kerning, leading, line height etc. options seem to remedy this. 

Hello, everyone. I have a question, that I suspect I know the answer to already... but I need to ask, in the event that someone might be able to identify aworkaround. Here's my dilemma: I work on ads for a major retail chain, and at the very end of Production, we have to make updates to our products star ratings reviews to the most recent number — which have grown since the time we began production. Problem is, it's tedious and time-consuming. I am trying to devise a way to automate, if not simplify, this process. My first idea was to create a new file and import, via our automation process, updated reviews (which reside on their own Layer) from one InDesign file to another. If I could move an entire layer from one file to the next, it would be the silver bullet. Unfortunately, InDesign does not appear to allow one to move an entire layer the way it allows you to Move Pages or Append Style Sheets, etc.Does anyone have any ideas on how I might be able to execute this move

For example:I dragged to select three cells. I want to access each selected cell individually to control them separately.var cells= app.selection;alert(cells.length); My goal is to obtain cell[i].but,  It seems to return 1 instead of 3.  

I need to get my document pages to go the opposit way.For example the first page has to be the last, and vice versahow can I do that??

Hi - i have an older version of Indesign; CS6, and all of the sudden, the interface font in the application bar has turned into all italics. I cannot get rid of those. I have downloaded a bunch of fonts, but that does not seem to be it. What can I do?Thanks, Eva

I use illustrator a lot, and so I have presets for all the document sizes I regularly use. I am wondering if there is an easy way to just transfer all of these presets to Indesign so that I don't have to go through the process of doing them all manually again?

I exported a fixed layout epub from ID 20.5. The footnote reference in the text was not visible, but the footnote at the bottom was visible and the number was correct. I repeated this 12 times, trying different things like removing character styles on the reference mark, etc. Nothing worked. I am attaching a screen snap showing one example.  .What can I do to fix this problem? 

I cant see indesign in cc on my windows arm machine asus vivabook 15 s which runs on arm and the beta branch should support arm for windows please help      <Title renamed by moderator>  

How do I set the Color sliders in InDesign to behave like the Color sliders in Illustrator and Photoshop? If I work from the top down - set a Hue (zero degrees, red), then Saturation (zero) and then slide the Brightness - why doesn’t the Brightness bar color strip go from black (darkest) to WHITE (brightest)? Right now the Brightness slider goes from black to the brightess possible color of the hue selected at full saturation (red, in this case), ignoring the Saturation value. Neither Saturation nor Brightness in InDesign adjust dynamically when sliding the other. 

I'm looking for a pro solution to translate 160-page A5 indesign documents.I saw that there are plug-ins like Translator PRO that uploads my file to an external server and should return it translated.I don't like this aspect very much (sending the layout to an external server). Do you know of other professional solutions to translate indesign documents? thx

Hi!I downloaded this magazine template for InDesign. and I can't figure out how to remove the pagenumbers in the upper corner.I've tried just about everything I can think of, but I can't remove it.Any suggestions would be greatly appriciated. 

 

My daily use of Indesign (19.5.5) all of a sudden is broken and I can't any more move objects. It usually occurs after a while, allowing me to work normally for about 30 min, then randomly moving or trimmering an object with the arrows causes the freeze of the program. I've already made the usal attempts to recover by working on a copy, rebuild from skratch the document and change the value in preference (units and rulers) (in mm) but the problem persists. Anyone facing the same issue? Thanks

I’m working on creating an interactive PDF that includes four buttons. Each button is intended to open the same external local PDF file, but to a different specific page within that file. I’ve already created the buttons, and I’ve tried using the Button action with “Open File.” However, this only allows me to select the file, it doesn’t provide an option to specify a page number. I also experimented with the Hyperlink option: Link To > File. While I can select the external PDF, I’m unable to set it to open to a specific page. Under “Hyperlink Destination Options,” when I set the type to Page, I can’t change the page number beyond 1. For example, if I set it to page 3, I receive an error stating that the document only has one page, even though the external PDF has multiple pages. Any guidance or workaround to achieve this functionality would be greatly appreciated! InDesign 2025, Windows 11...

Hi Community. I have a yellow button, and I'd like to make this an interactive element. When I hover-(roll over) over the Yellow  button, the text appears, and when I hover off-(Roll over), the text disappears. Im too confused about the button panel, I cant get it to function properly.  Thank you.  

Hi,I'm able to create the hyperlink to open external pdf file. But is there any chance to open this external pdf file on the specific page or location? I tried to assign the page via "Hyperlink Destination Options" but it doesn't work.Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I'm a complete newbie in InDesign. I have a 144 page document with text and images which I need to translate from Spanish to Dutch about music instruments. I'm used to machine translating, then correcting it. In this case, I would prefer to machine translate it within the InDesign document as it would be very inefficient to extract all text boxes one for one, translate it in deepL, then place in the correct boxes again. I tried figuring this out via ChatGPT with no luck. It seems there might have been a machine translation feature which changed/ was removed with this newest version of InDesign? I work on IOS and am happy to purchase a plugin of some sort as long as it's not too expensive (up until 20euros it's fine) if it works. Any help is welcome. Thanks,Sofia

Hi All, I'm not satisfied by the zoom defined by InDesign and would like an "entire page" zoom when I jump on the target page after having clicked on the cross-ref. link! Something I missed?! Thanks in advance. 😉 (^/)  The Jedi
