InDesign

Issue has been going on for several months now, I've worked with IT at my company to exclude any other potential problems. It seems to have started with ID 20.1; I've never had any problems in the past.  Any files saved on a server cause indesign to run incredibly slow, and very laggy. Link size isn't the issue, as it happens with any file, regardless of if it even has any links. This also only seems to be in ID, I haven't noticed any problems with illustrator or photoshop.  All our working files are saved on this server, and we need to keep it that way because we work collaboratively, and others may need to access the files at any time.  This could be an issue with our servers, but I wanted to post/report in case there's an issue with indesign not getting along with network servers. 

Hello, has anyone else been experiencing issues with the info panel not displaying wordcount data? I've relied on the feature for years without issue until now. I don't have any pending updates, I've closed and restarted the program, and I've tried a new document with the same results. Sometimes the info panel displays the character, words, lines and paragraph lines without data when text is highlighted and sometimes it's completely gone. I'll provide screenshots with both scenarios displayed.

Bonjour,Depuis quelque temps, les PDF que j'exporte depuis InDesign ne s'impriment pas dans leur intégralité. (Je n'imprime pas directement depuis InDesign).Certaines pages dont pourtant le contenu est visible dans mon logiciel d'impression et d'aperçu sortent blanches alors que d'autres sortent sans problème.Avez-vous rencontré cette difficulté et une idée de comment réparer cela ?Merci par avance !

Hi there,   I've updated one of my Publish Online documents and suddenly all the images have stopped displaying. Luckily I didn't overwrite it, so I can show  the differences.Old version (working):[pii removed by moderator]     Updated version (Not working):[pii removed by moderator]      I've packaged the files and put them here: The updated version[pii removed by moderator]The Old version that used to work[pii removed by moderator]   Unfortunately, even go back to my backups still creates broken images in publish online and I really can't figure out what has changed. The images are embedded into the InDesign document. I have tried replacing the images and they still don't work. I've tried moving it over into a fresh document and it doesn't work. I've tried going back to the backup I kept of when it did work, but when I do a new publish online the images are suddenly broken now.  I've tried republishing on multiple versions of InDesign and it doesn't

I work for county government and must reference federal documents or websites (such as the U.S. Census or Federal Highway) via hyperlinks in my reports. Reports (pdfs) or websites from federal agencies often show the 'red light' on the hyperlinks panel which warns that the hyperlink is not working. I have copied the hyperlink from my browser and inserted it through the hyperlinks panel but still receive this warning. What can I do to make this right?

I am trying to share my InDesign file with my client to review but it always gives me an error “Error Getting Invited People” I have tried restarting my mac but still no luck. ThanksHammad

I made a line & gave it a stroke colour & thickness. When I alt-drag it, the new line is a thicker black line like the first one was before I formatted it. I assume I have something set wrong. Can anyone help me get it so that an alt-dragged line is an exact copy of the first one? (It also happens when I use the Transform tool.)

During the conversion to jsxbin, I discovered that full encryption renders the code unusable.Additionally, certain sections need to remain unencrypted to allow user customization.How can I selectively encrypt specific parts of the code?

Hi Friends, I need to use hyphenation based on OXFORD dictionay in InDesign. Kindly advice or do the needful. Thanks in advance 

Liebe Entwickler, liebe InDesign-Gemeinde,ich habe einen kleinen Erweiterungswunsch, der aber die Arbeit erleichtern würde. Fügt bitte in den Farbdialog zwei Pfeile ein mit denen man zwischen allen angelegten Farben hin- und herschalten kann. Da brauche ich bei Änderungen nicht immer den Dialog verlassen und per Doppelklick in die nächste Farben gehen.  Viele GrüßeStefan  

Hi, I'm building a script for InDesign to check if any non-brand colours are used in the document. The script displays a palette/dialog and fetches all the swatches. The user then selects the required Brand colours and clicks the button to check any inconsistencies. The current script prompts the correct number of inconsistencies. The quick navigation dialog box perfectly shows the next object on clicking the 'Next' button. However, the script is not selecting any object. I want the script to find the culprit object and select it, so that the user does not have to find it manually. Can anyone fix it please. Thanks. #target indesign // --- Global Variables --- var doc; // --- Main Execution --- if (app.documents.length > 0) { doc = app.activeDocument; createAndRunChecker(); } else { alert("Please open an InDesign document before running this script."); } // ============================================================================= // Helper:

When I select an image within the text, I want to obtain the width of the textFrame.The result throws an error.alert(sel); is right. alert(sel.geometricBounds[3]); Error popup: Object is invalidDoes textFrame not have a geometricBounds property?  item = app.activeDocument.selection[0]; var doc = app.activeDocument; var sel = item.parent.parent.textFrames[0] alert(sel); alert(sel.geometricBounds[3]); 

An indesign file stopped working - it wouldn't load all the way (it's 45pg). I tried opening it over the course of a day, and it kept not loading. Then, it said the file was damaged/corrupted (Error Code 03). When I try to restore previous versions, it says there are none. I tried copying & renaming, and then opening that file but it still didnt work.  What do I do? This file took over 3 months of cumulative work, and I really need to be able to access it.

I've noticed in the last 2 days InDesign has started to import a text box with the file name of any images/files that are imported into a document. So when you drag and drop, firstly you get the image on your cursor then second an automatic text box wants to paste in. WHY?! And most importantly HOW do I turn this awful new feature off? Please help. 

No matter what I do in find/replace in either text or GREP, I cant seem to find a way of getting rid of these hidden characters without manaully deleting. On a 50 page mail merge document, this simply is a real pain.Importing from a cleaned CSV file and can replace other hidden characters.

Is there a way to arch text in In-Design in a similar to how Illustrator allows you to  arch text thru its Envelope Distort feature? (If not, it would sure be handy if a feature like that coule be added to In-Design) Thanks.

I am working on an art book and need to place photos that have been specifically segregated in an album. ID 2025, Mac Sequoia - only the main photo library is accessible. Is there a way to make the albums accessible? I have given ID full disk access.Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

I am considering uploading the contents of plugin_sdk to ChatPDF or similar platforms to ask questions to the AI.Is this action acceptable?

Bonjour la communauté francophone. Je sèche depuis plusieurs heures sur un problème qui ne me semble pourtant pas si compliqué. Je dois faire un livre qui contient le scénario d'une pièce de théâtre en allemand que je dois importer sur les pages gauches du livre, et sa traduction en français que je dois importer en vis-à-vis, sur les pages droites du livre.J'ai bien lu qu'il "suffisait" de créer un gabarit sur lequel on rajoute simplement un bloc texte sans le lier sur la page gauche et sur la page droite, de retourner sur la page avec ce gabarit et de faire importer en n'oubliant de rester appuyer sur la touche majuscule. J'ai essayé 150 fois avec toutes les variantes possibles, rien à faire. Au mieux, le texte en allemand se déverse des pages gauches aux pages droites en créant le nombre de pages nécessaires, au pire, il me créé un bloc texte sans aucun lien et je dois rajouter les liaisons à la main. Comme je suis appelé à refaire ce genre d'exercice, j'aimerais bien

 We use data merge frequently, using the same Excel files and InDesign templates over and over. Over the past week or so, our merges have stopped working, and we get this attached error message. We have removed any placeholders in both InDesign and Excel that are not being used. We have tried creating various .csv files from Excel. What could we be doing wrong, our workflow has not changed. Thank you! 

I have a grid of image frames in an InDesign document. If I select multiple frames and try and place the same image into all of them, InDesign just places the image into one frame and leaves the others blank. How do I place the same one image, mulktiple times into multiple boxes?

Hi Everyone,Does anyone know if it is at all possible to add mutliple hyperlinks at once to a table in a InDesign file? It is very time consuming to upload them one at a time otherwise. Thanks, Giorgia 

Hello!This seems to be a new feature, at least I have only noticed it in version 20.5. The related website https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/export-import-user-settings-indesign.html doesn't tell what is actually exported. For me, it would be important to have a backup of my settings, such as:- Workspace - Keyboard shortcut set(s)- Find/Change queries- The general ID prefs- Added scriptsPractically all what's important in the "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 20.0\en_US" folder. Is that fulfilled by this feature?

Hi!I need to create a book for an Architects' Conference due in 3 days, and it would be nice if it looked good on mobile phones. The problem is that I can create the 10-page Table of Contents in InDesign, but I already have an A4 PDF for the rest, which is also 1,500 pages. I don't have time to design the interior in InDesign; I have to use it as is. The Table of Contents will have links to the internal articles. How do I combine the two files? Is this possible? I'd like to at least make the Table of Contents look good on mobile phones or adapt it to the size, but I don't know if that can be done in PDF format. Can I design the Index or Table of Contents with Liquid Layout? Epub is not universal to all people in the Conference so it is not an alternative. I know this is a lot of information, and maybe I'm not entirely clear about it. Sorry, English isn't my first language. Perhaps there are other options,  that I do not have in mind. Any ideas, tips, or options? Any

Olá, Trabalho em uma instituição educacional e nosso tempo é responsável pela diagramação de materiais didáticos. Os professores nos enviam o conteúdo em Microsoft Word, e precisamos consolidar todo esse material no InDesign. Grande parte desses documentos contém equações e fórmulas. Atualmente, uso o plugin MathType no Word para converter essas fórmulas, já que o InDesign não é regular como fórmulas do Office Math. No entanto, mesmo com o MathType, algumas fórmulas apresentam bugs ou não são convertidas corretamente. Estamos buscando uma forma mais prática, confiável e usual de integrar essas fórmulas do Word para o InDesign, sem perda de qualidade ou necessidade de ajustes manuais extensivos. Gostaríamos de saber se a Adobe oferece algum recurso, plugin ou fluxo de trabalho recomendado para lidar com documentos complexos que incluem muitas equações matemáticas.Agradeço desde já pela atenção.
