Hello All,I am iterating text in each frame and where ever I find kTextChar_FrameBoxBreak character I need to delete that character and replace with paragraph return.But when I get the text from a frame in WideString and get the last character, it gives me carriage return (kTextChar_CR) instead of frame box break character.Has anyone tried to read this character through C++ plugin,Thanks in advance.Farzana.

I can’t believe this is happening again. We really should get some sort of discount or refund for all the time we’re wasting lately with this issue.After being solved, this problem shows up again with the last update. I suddenly lose all UNDO steps, past the last four or five, just like what happened a few months ago.If the problem is related with the History panel, JUST DISABLE THE HISTORY PANEL. We didn’t have this issue before the panel, so I guess it has something to do with it. 

How to make a script that changes one font to another in all styles (over 100 styles) in large catalogue file. Has anyone made such a script and would be so kind to share it?

Aujourd'hui 2025/11/12 Indesign n'arrête pas de planter. Quelqu'un rencontre le même problème ?

I use a EVEIntPopupSliderComboBoxWidget in my InDesign C++ plug-in and want to programmatically set the MinValue and MaxValue in the dialog controller. fr file:EVEIntPopupSliderComboBoxWidget // Opacity percentage slider( kPollingSliderWidgetID, // The Identifier for this Widget kSysSliderPMRsrcId, // kPMRsrcID_None, kBindNone, // Frame binding Frame(0,0,60,25) // Frame(l,t,r,b) kTrue, // Is this visible kTrue, // Is this enabled 0, // The WidgetID for the nudge button 1, // small nudge amount 10, // large nudge amount 3, // The maximum number of characters kFalse, // integer readOnly value kFalse, // Notify on key stroke kTrue, // Enable range checking kFalse, // Allow blank entry 300, // The upper limit 5, // The lower limit "100",

Today, 27 May 2026, I updated to InDesign 21.4 and, sure enough, the Times New Roman issue has been resolved. Unfortunately, Univers Bold is now missing.I reported the problem in November 2025. Since then, I’ve had to keep updating my files converting OTF to TTF. Following a new InDesign update sometime early this year, Calibri and Wingdings 2 were also missing. An hour after this InDesign 24.1 update, Windows also released an update: KB 5089573, and now none of the fonts – TNR, Calibri and Univers – could be found. I uninstalled the Windows version and upon restarting, OS builds 26200.8524 and 26100.8524 were installed.Everything was working normally again (except for Univers). An hour later, a new Windows update with the same issue appeared, and all the fonts were missing again."This cumulative update for Windows 11, versions 25H2 and 24H2 (KB5089573), includes production-quality improvements." That certainly doesn’t apply to me.Once again, InDesign is altering the custom paragraph s

Hi. When inserting a table within a text frame, is there any way to ensure that the para style that the table is inserted into is always a particular style?For example, I have two para styles – Style A and Style B. Is there a way that I can ensure that an inserted table is always inserted into a Style B para, automatically? So the “container” para style, if you will, will always be Style B?Hope that makes sense!Thanks in advance.

Hi,I am using Indesign, and I have a gradient rainbow textbox. It was all fine but I then realised I needed to change my background colour to black because I had the paper colour changed to black and it wasnt exporting to a pdf properly. I fixed that issue and change the background to black but now my gradient rainbow textbox has turned brown. I dont know what happened and no one seems to have had this problem before. I have tried remaking the box and nothing is working. I also have a gradient rainbow text (just letters, no background text box) and that is fine. What do I do?Thanks,Greer

Let’s say I have two page items in my document: a circle and a square. I move the square so its top left corner is in the centre of the circle. I cut (cmd-X) the square. It’s gone. I select the circle and I “Paste Into” (cmd-alt-V).The square is now clipped by the circle frame:So, I want to do that via the scripting API. With the above example, I can select the circle and do:$.writeln(app.activeDocument.selection[0].rectangles.length)and the result is 1, which is correct. There is one rectangle IN that circle. What I want to know is… how do I put the square in the circle via ExtendScript or UXP? It must be easy, but I can’t quite get it. I want `myPageItem.rectangles.add` to do it, but it only seems to want a Layer, which makes no sense.– Mark

After a recent update, my InDesign is now showing all these stupid pop-ups the whole time. Screenshot attached.  To be absolutely clear, I am talking about the entire dialogue box, not the tool-tip illustrateed in a section of the dialogue box shown.   How do I kill them off once and for all ?  I've looked through Preferences but canot spot anything obvious.       <Title renamed by MOD>

Following up on the previous question:If the font size and text box height remain constant, is there a simple formula for calculating line spacing and the number of lines? For example:A text box has a fixed height of 100 mm and a font size of 12 points. With 17 lines of text, the appropriate line spacing is 16.8 points.If the font size and text box height remain constant but one line is added (for a total of 18 lines), how to I calculate the new leading(15.8)?Is there a simple formula for this? 

Hi really hoping someone can help with the misery I’ve had all week. For the past few months I’ve been uploading portfolios from Indesign to Adobe Cloud. This week it’s suddenly stopped working. I’ve attached the error code I get and have searched all the other threads mentioning this specific error and nothing works :(There’s enough space in my account to upload the file (I deleted some files just in case that was the issue). I’ve tried uploading different files but anything more than a text doc gets the same error message. Logged out of everything and logged back in – no change. Used different wifi networks – no change, still the same error message.Can anyone provide any help before I go insane? Been trying for 3 days now and am completely out of ideas 

Some comments are not showing when I upload them to InDesign, it’s like they appear on the list, but you don’t know where exactly and can’t accept them, or can but it does nothing, so I have to keep the PDF opened in Acrobat and go checking where’s the correction, it’s not wrongly marked, because it’s not everything, just some, it happens from time to time, then when it seems they fixed it, suddenly it starts happening again, it’s really time consuming. Is there a workaround?

Hello, i n my C++ InDesign Plug-in i use EVEMultilineTextEditBoxWidget in a dialog.If i set the text in the dialog’s controller in InitializeDialogFields(), the text initially becomes unreadable. I have to click into the text field to make it readable:  This seems not to be the text-selection, selected texts look like this: EVEMultilineTextEditBoxWidget( kFileConfirmationDialogEditTextWidgetID, // Widget ID kSysEditBoxPMRsrcId, // RsrcID kBindNone, // Binding Frame(0,0,400,200) kTrue, kTrue, // Visible, Enabled 0, // widget id of nudge button 1, // small nudge amount 10, // large nudge amount 0, // max num chars(0 = no limit) kTrue, // is read only kFalse, // should notify each key stroke (NEW) kFalse, // range checking enabled kTrue, // blank entry allowed 0, 0, // upper/lower limit "", // initial text kEVEAlignCenter | kEVEJumboSpaceAfter,), void FileConfirmationDialogController::InitializeDia

Usind latest ID version on Sequoia on two different silicon Macs (Mac Mini M4, Macbook Pro M4 Pro) – neither recognizes the GPU in Indesign (greyed out in ID Setting menu). Performance is kind of choppy as a result (I guess). Other Adobe apps, Photoshop, Illustrator, work flawlessly and recognize the GPU. Is this a known issue?   <Title renamed by MOD>

You share for review doesn’t work. There are ton of comments my clients have put on the review link but none of them are showing now.Why do you keep releasing these untested garbage features, if it can’t work at a basic level. 

Currently having an issue with my undo/history function. I seem to only be able to go back 2 or 3 commands before the entire history disappears. pls help!

How do I set up an A5 novel? So I have my Word doc but can't seem to get the InDesign to set up properly; I can't seem to get any templates of what I need either. It's just an A5 fiction novel, about 300 pages in a Word doc. Can someone help or even make a simple template or anything...? Thanks

i created an image in 1600x2400px @150ppi and relink to a 1600x2400 web document with 50px margin, but somehow the effective ppi went down to 75 ppi. Actual ppi still remain 150. This is driving me crazy, Please help.

I have preflight set to flag images that are below 300dpi.  it works great except for one vector Illustrator file that it keeps flagging.  It’s vector, so it has no resolution?  this is the only vector image file it flags.  here are screenshots of the images, the preflight panel, and the preflight settings.  Why is it flagging this vector file as low res?

Environment: Adobe InDesign 2026, Book file with multiple documents and cross-references between separate INDD files.Has anyone successfully renamed Book documents while preserving cross-reference destinations, or is there a recommended workflow for this scenario?

Hi,Is it possible for You to make the same align tool as You did in Illustrator, the tool called Horizontal & Vertical Align Center - I just love it and I save a lot of extra “clicking”! 😆Best regardsFrode
