InDesign

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? 

Looking at the spacing between the paragraphs below - how can I make them all the same? I'm trying to find out how/where any settings or styles are different between them & am getting nowhere.Help!

It's not possible to automatically add spaces between words by pressing the space bar.The words appear without spaces:When I press the space bar, this appears:Do you want to save the changes indesign document adobe before closing?In other programs (PS, AI), the space bar works fine. How can I fix this? Rosita Boedingrosit@zeelandnet.nl

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.

Hi, I was taught (many years ago) to do my work in Photoshop and then save the final file as a tiff to include in my page layout program. It seems like InDesign files that have a lot of Photoshop files added to them are very large and take a long time to load. Is there a good reason to do one over the other? 

Necesito maquetar un libro en indesign con el lomo a la derecha y no sé cómo configurar el documento

I designed a book and printed it using the booklet function and everything printed great. I am using a Mac and chose the 2 up perfect bound style with 16 page signatures. When orgaznizing the signatures I accidentally damaged  two spreads and I want to reprint those spreads without having to reprint the entire book. The problem I have is that the book/document in its editable form is not in booklet form so I can't just select a spread and print it because the page numbers are just sequential. They are not in booklet order. When I go to print in booklet I can see the spreads I want to print in the preview but there is no option to just print a solo spread. The range button is kind of confusing because there are no options for spreads or anything and if I put page numbes in it only prints individual page numbers, not the spreads that I need to fit into the booklet. So, how do I print select spreads in booklet form? Any help would be appreciated. I'm sure there is a way, bu

I haven't quite been able to figure out the difference between TRACKING and KERNING.However, in the meantime, is there a keyboard shortcut I can use to enter tracking in (numerical) with the keyboard?

Hello, I am creating a basic end of the book index. Everything was going well until the index grew longer than the one page I added at the end of the file for the index. I added a new page now, updated the index and regenerated the index, but the entries are still only showing in one page and ending at letter i. Any ideas please?

Without warning InDesign began failing to to flow text around a second text box. At the same time it became impossible to indent a paragraph immediately after some, but not all image caption text boxes. I've used Adobe Cloud to delete and reload InDesign thinking my original had become corrupted but the problem persists.

Bonjour,Toujours des bugs sur Indesign 2025, version 20.5 sur PC :- Texte qui disparait du bloc et réapparaît à chaque fois (ou presque) que l'on clique dessus- Nombre hypra limité de retour possible en arrière (Ctrl Z x 3 maxi), impossible à re-régler- Plantage du logiciel au moins 2 fois par jour- Les typos activées auparavant dans Adobe font ne sont pas dispo ou alors longtemps après Seule solution : retour à Indesign 2024 ?

I am wondering if there is anyway of removing the deafault list that inDesign uses. e.g TV XRef Chapter Number, File Name, Image Name, Creation Date etc I am inserting many variables in my documents and would rather the drop down list i see not have them avaialble.  

Hi! Recently, while using Peter Kahre's  sidenotes script I encountered an error message: "Invalid value for parameter 'reference' of method 'move'. Expected Text, Story, Cell, Row, Column, Table, or Page Item, but received nothing. (line 37)."  Since this error appeared, I haven’t been able to continue using the script, and unfortunately, I couldn't convert the footnotes to sidenotes as I had intended. If someone have any advice on resolving this issue, I would be truly grateful. 🙂

My text is wrapping to the next line when there's still room in the column. This is causing a horrible rag on my column of text. Is there a way to fix this? It's throughout my document and several of my students are having the same problem.  

This is a show stopper for me as I am doing a blurb book!  See error dialog when loading. I have temporarily been able to get InDesign to start by removing the Blurb plug-in folder, but this won't allow me to publish my Blurb book 😞 I am on a Windows 11 ARM (Surface Laptop 7). I would be willing to use build 20.4, but it now says expired and won't start either. Please help.

Most fo the time I use Alt (Option) + drag to copy an object in InDesign, it makes Indesign crash. This has been happenign for months since I updated to Indesign 2025. It's so frustrating because I a so used to use that keyboard shortcaut to copy objects. Anyone have an idea of why this is happening? 

I've uploaded files to my printer and don't see the bleeds. I checked my Package/PDF/X4:2008 settings and the bleeds are set at 0. I check the Document Setup and the bleeds are set at .125". I've checked the boxes and there doesn't seem to be a way forward. So, I can't use Package? I have to use Export? Hmm. 

I want to make the image on the right the same size as the entire grouped object on the left.But I don't know how to get its geometric boundaries.How do I determine that it's part of the group?

I made an interactive document with a stack of layers some time ago.Interactive pdf works like a charm.Today I needed to make some adjustments in the file, an addition to one of the bottom layers. The InDesign document shows correctly, but when exporting the file to interactive pdf, the layer order is not honoured. The button I added in the bottom layer (while behaving correctly in the InDesign document) is now on top of the stack, and the on-tap/on-release with button visibility is not properly working. Layer is set to be(come) invisible/not show when clicking a certain button, but it shows anyway.Happens both on Windows and Mac, InDesign 17 x64.Any pointers on what may be happening? I remember I've had this before in an older version, and I had to cut/paste-in-place all the objects again in the order I wanted/needed them to appear, but this document has grown so large, it would take me days to do that.

I'm trying to figure out how to get InDesign to access stylistic alternates in a specific font (Bembo Book MT Pro in my case). I want to update an .indt file so that any books laid out using the template (with paragraph/character styles, etc.) in the future will have the short-tailed R swapped in instead of the long-tailed R that ships with the font by default. Does anyone have any ideas, beyond using Find/Change with glyph ids? I'm looking for a way to "set it and forget it" in a template file, rather than always have a Find/Change (or script) that needs to be performed as a subsequent step after a book has been typeset. I don't know why Monotype ships the long-tailed R as the default and doesn't even enable the short-tailed one in a stylistic set... or why InDesign seems to have stopped exposing salt via the GUI. Seems like many people must have this issue. I'm not sure I can shell out for Monotype to create a custom font modification, and the font license indicates pretty clear

Hello, I can't figure out what I am doing wrong with the spreads in this book. When converted to PDF the pages seem separeted at chapters. (see screen shot). I've added pages, deleted pages, trying to get the book (when in PDF format) to flow properly.Thanks in advance for you help!
