For example, one of my scripts is named:Open Image in PS-【Shift+F3】.jsxNow, using another script for setting shortcuts, I want to coompulsory assign Shift+F3 as the shortcut for the above script.That is, the 【】 portion should function as the keyboard shortcut. You won't have to worry about the script filename being modified.Thank you.

Hello dear forum members, I’d like to use file merging to save some time here. Everything works fine so far, except for the description texts (e.g. “made of mesh fabric” etc.). In the Excel table, these texts are entered in the respective cell with line breaks, but after importing the file into ID only the first line is displayed.How should I format the data in Excel so that it is output correctly?Thanks! Hallo liebe Forenmitglieder, ich möchte folgendes mit der Dateizusammenfügung erstellen lassen um hier Zeit zu sparren. Alles funktioniert soweit, bis auf die Texte der Beschreibung (aus Meshgewebe usw.), diese sind in der Ecxle Tabelle in der jeweiligen Zelle mit einen Absatz eingetragen, aber nach dem Import der Datei in ID wird nur die erste Zeile ausgegeben. Wie muss ich die Daten in Excle anlegen damit es sauber ausgegeben wird? Danke  

Hi, I set up my epub for print by mistake at the start as still learning. Partway through I’ve changed it to a web document and changed the margins to 0.5 in rather than 0.25 in. I can now see blue lines at the top and bottom of each page, sitting inside the red lines top and bottom. Is that ok? Screenshot 1: How doco looks after converting to web doco   Screenshot 2: How doco looked when I first set it up as a print doco   

Buenos días a todos, tengo un problema con Indesign. He creado un documento que pretende ser un pdf interactivo, con botones para navegar por dentro del mismo. Creo un botón, le doy apariencia, le doy una acción: ir a página y elijo la página de destino.Pero cuando exporto a PDF interactivo (conservando todos los elementos interactivos en la exportación) me aparece el siguiente mensaje:La acción de botón Ir a página no se admite en PDF. Se conservará la apariencia del botón, pero se perderá su interactividad.He probado también a crear un hipervínculo a una página del documento, pero me da el mismo error.Sé que puedo solucionarlo creando a posteriori los hipervinculos en acrobat sobre los botones, pero si me modifican cualquier leve detalle en el InDesign, tendré que reformular todos los botones y me parece una manera poco ágil de trabajar.¡Os agradecería mucho la ayuda!

Buenas tardes, hice un documento en Indesign para PDF interactivo, hoy no me quieren funcionar los botones de PDF, saben que puede ser? En la vista previa de SWF funcionan bien en PDF no

Hi everyone,I’m facing a situation that could potentially make me crazy and I’d appreciate your insights.Ideally, I’d like to « break the link and pull the content » with an Indesign file that’s visible in the Links panel. However, we can’t do this natively. So, what are my options? Statement :I understand that Indesign files are complex files and are probably more similarly dealt with like graphics files. We can’t break a link with a graphic; we can only modify or delete it. But since both are in the Indesign ecosystem (the link and the active document), I’m wondering if there’s anything we can do. Most likely, it would involve scripting, which is fine. But where should I start, and what would be the strategy here? Here’s what I have:- I have a 300+ document that uses 177 Indesign files as links.- The file needs to be translated. Indesign limitations :The issue is that Indesign files as links are not directly editable, unlike a .docx file. So, I have to export

I'm trying to add two different footnotes style on a page but it seems that InDesign won't allow that! So I have the usual numbering footnotes (1,2,3,4...) and then I have another style which is an asterisk  "*"I tried to change the footnote style but that did not work as you can only use one style in a document! Is there any way to bypass this?Thanks

Whe I leave InDesign (and Photoshop also) opened and Mac Mini goes in sleep mode, after waking up my workspace is misaligned.Some panels from secondary monitor are on primary monitor, but some stay right where they shoul be.I can easily reset my saved workspace, but still it is annoying.Not sure why is it happening.It is Mac Mini M4, latest macOS, and dual monitor setup.

I created a new “guides” layer and want to place it at the bottom.How do I do that?This catch seems incorrect; it should check whether this layer already exists.https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#Layers.html var myLayer = myDocument.layers.item("guides"); try { myLayerName = myLayer.name; } catch (myError) { var myLayer = myDocument.layers.add({ name: "guides" }); } 

Hello,I am using Place + Shift to add text from an rtf file and auto add pages. It works fine up to page 201 then there are no more pages added, even though the text continues for several more pages. I have tried several times with the same result at the same point. I have tried manually adding pages at the end but the text doesn't autoflow into them. The missing text is in the rtf doc and I can't see anything that would stop the import at that particular point (it is just a continuation of the text, no section or chapter breaks at that point.) Any suggestions? Running ID 2025 on Windows 11

Good evening!Since the latest InDesign update (20.5), I've been having issues displaying fonts and styles in the panel.While previously, when selecting non-homogeneous text (different fonts or roman and italic) the box remained empty, now "majority" fonts and styles appear. Is this a problem with this update or with my PC (Windows 10)? Thank you in advance

Only yesterday did I poke around in Creative Cloud (6.7.0.278) and clicked on "Cloud Activity" out of curiosity while viewing my libraries. There are only six libraries with a few very simple files in them that I've added including also very simple InDesign templates I created. I may have clicked on a sync button and the cloud activity indicator started its twirling. This morning I came back to that and saw that little twirl still going.Is this normal, or is it stuck? If this matters from "About Creative Cloud" menu item:  Creative Cloud Libraries Synchronizer (CC Library) 4.11.13. Also iMac desktop, Sequoia 15.6.1 InDesign 2025, v 20.5.0.48 

Suppose my script directory is:..\myFile\myScript\copyToGrep.jsxMy regular expression directory is:..\myFile\myGrep\aaa.xmlI want to copy aaa.xml to the GREP directory:C:\Users\olo\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\InDesign\Version 19.0-J\zh_CN\Find-Change Queries\GREPFirst clear the files in GREP, then copy. The version number 19.0 is automatically recognized. Alternatively, if can open the specified directory in the script, which is also a good option.

Hello everyone,I'm seeing a critical issue with my (new) PC: Adobe apps like InDesign are freezing because they are only detecting 4GB of VRAM on my RTX 5090.However, all my system diagnostics (NVIDIA Control Panel, DxDiag) correctly show the full 32GB of VRAM.I've already done a full driver wipe with DDU and a clean reinstall of the latest Studio Driver.This looks like a major bug between Adobe apps and the new NVIDIA 50-series GPUs. Has anyone else experienced this, or found a workaround?My Rig:PC: Alienware Area-51 AAT2250GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB GDDR7)CPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285KRAM: 64GB DDR5OS: Windows 11 Home

I came across this panel here. Later, I realized it was exactly the functionality I needed.https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/how-to-convert-units-within-a-dialog-window/m-p/14151789#M545441I've been tinkering with it for a while but haven't gotten it to work. When I select “Setting,” it executes the function below it. If “All (A, B, C)” is checked, it sequentially executes the three functions A, B, and C. Otherwise, it executes only one function.When selecting “only open position,” it only opens the selected path.Thanks.//Open the path, such as the shortcut location: //Base path, Local path var bPath = app.scriptPreferences.scriptsFolder.parent.parent; var zh_CN = bPath.fsName; var localShortcut = zh_CN + "\\" + "InDesign Shortcut Sets" + "\\"; function ABC() { onlyA(); onlyB(); onlyC(); } function DEF() { onlyD(); onlyE(); onlyF(); } function onlyA() { var doSomething; } function onlyB() { var doSomething; } function onlyC() { var doSomet

As a designer, you can access and manage feedback using the Review panel in InDesign. Check out the help document here to know how to access the Review panel.     1. Why am I not receiving notifications from stakeholders?  After the reviewer provides feedback, you will receive a notification through the Creative Cloud application and through an email sent to you. If the email doesn’t show up, please check your junk/spam folder or refer to the best practices thread in the community.    2. Can I hide annotations while working on the reviewer’s comments?  Yes you can! Sometimes too many annotations can be confusing.   To hide annotations on the layout, click the Hide annotations button at the lower-right bottom of the panel. To show the annotations click the button again.    3. How can I filter comments by reviewers?   The filter option is

Hi everyone! I’m working on a long InDesign document and need help with managing the table of contents. Is there a way to automate TOC updates so that when I add or rearrange pages, it refreshes automatically instead of me having to manually rebuild it each time? Any tips or best practices?

Hello Indesign Community,we are preparing a fine art print for a client.Our pictures are grey/8bit converted RGB.In photoshop (and on our Canon Imageprograf printer) blacks are great.But in indesign pictures flatten out to grey. No real blacks. Also in exported PDF.We tried different color profiles. No success. The printing company says, there is no black in the file, but when we open the linked files in PS everything is great.preview in Indesign vs. Photoshop. Any experience with that problem? Would be a great help!Oh, we just print the K channel for fine art. So no rich black discussion, please 🙂 Oliver  

Bonjour, Lorsque je souhaite ouvrir un document InDesign sur l'application InDesign, j'ai ce message d'erreur qui apparaît :j'ai essayé de descendre de version, sans changement. Je suis sous Windows 11 Professionnel. 

Hi there,I've been trying to export a PDF magazine as spreads from an INDB file (InDesign Book including multiple INDD files).The problem is: if a file ends on an even page (left page), the next file begins on an odd page (right page), but InDesign seems incapable of exporting both pages as a single spread. Instead, ID exports the last page from the first file as a single page, then the first page of the other file as another single page. The last pages are correctly merged in a spread.The first file has an even number of pages: it ends on an even page (left page). The exported PDF: the second page (last page from the first INDD file) gets exported as a single page, as well as the third page (wihch is the first page of the second file). Pages 4 & 5, on the other hand, are exported as a spread, as expected.  Now since spreads are considered "single" pages by Adobe Acrobat, it doesn't seem possible – as far as I know – to re-organize the PDF file pages a

While I am starting to feel that I really understand how to work in ID (maybe i am dillusioned?), of course with the gracious help of the members of this awesome community, there is a problem that keeps recurring again and again. And i feel so helpless because i just cannot undertand what is causing it:Many times at the bottom of a text frame there is a large white space (sometimes at the beginning). There is pleanty of room for more lines of text to fit in and from the next threaded text frame and in the next frame there are just a few lines in that paragraph. SO why is it breaking and throwing too much to the next frame? This is what I have tried:1. Turned off all keep options.2. Inspected hidden break charachtres etc.3. Checked all paragraph options like space before and after etc.4. Everything I can think of And I still cannot ace it. I would invest a lot of money for an add-on that whenever the text doesn't fill to the end of the text frame it says:"The reason this
