InDesign

Is there an add-on that will help me handle styles better? Like highlighting all text with a certain style. Jumping from text w/certain style to next instance of text with that style etc. etc. I know how to do this manually but i would like to automate it.Thank youSF

I'm uploading an .epub file to IngramSpark and—on the surface—everything looks to be fine. However, I'm served with this error message (three times) from IS:(PKG-026): /META-INF/encryption.xml: Obfuscated resource must be a Font Core Media Type (was declared as "application/x-font-ttf" in "OEBPS/content.opf").I assume this is in relation to the 3x fonts I'm using in the .indd file – however, they are all Times New Roman (Regular, Italics and Bold styles) so there shouldn't be a licensing issue. They are .ttf files so I'm assuming that's the issue, but how do I go about rectifying that?

Is there a script that can set a specified hotkey as the default?

Hi, Dear Friends!   resolved. thank you. why can't the poster totally delete his post?   <Title renamed by MOD>

For example: Copy all files under‘..preSetting’ + ‘/bb/’toFolder.desktop + ‘/aa/’My path structure is as follows, with “Script” at the same level as preSetting:D:/OO/Script/myscript.jsxD:/OO/preSetting/bb/This one below seems wrong. //var activeDocPath = String(app.activeDocument.fullName); var copyToPath = String(Folder.desktop + '/aa/'); var sPath = String("/" + PreSetting + '/bb/'); //alert(sourcePath); //alert(pShortcut); var copiedFile = copyFile(sPath, copyToPath); function copyFile(sourcePath, destinationPath) { var fp = Folder(sourcePath) //get the files in MyFiles var f = fp.getFiles(); alert(f); alert(f.length); for (var i = 0; i < f.length; i++) { //try { if (!f[i].exists) { throw new Error('File not found: "' + sourcePath + '".'); } else { var dup = File(destinationPath); f[i].copy(dup) return dup; } } }  

Hi,We are signing our InDesign extensions using the ZXPSignCmd-64bit commandhttps://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/blob/master/ZXPSignCMD/SigningTechNote_CC.pdf We have recently started using Digicert certificate and it appears the new signing requirements are as per the link EV Authenticode Signing using SignTool (digicert.com) I would like to know if there are any update to the instructions for signing InDesign extensions to align with the updated guidance from DigiCert Thanks

Hi , Can anyone help with this issues?I created a book in InDesign over a year ago. I am on a Mac computer with Big Sur 11.7.4 - It says on the adobe site that Indesign works with this software - but now I am being told Ihave to upgrade? I do not wnat to upgrade as I want Big Sur for specific features . So I cannot access my book from the InDesign app - It offered a "conversion" but I press that and it stays at 0? Is there anyway for me to get access? Thank you

I have now followed all instructions. I have uninstalled all apps, used the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, and performed a complete, clean reinstallation of InDesign 20.5. The Indexing feature is still completely broken. The 'Index' option is missing from Find/Change, and the Topic Levels dialog does not work. Any ideas? The tech told me he would escalate and get back to me in 4 hours, it has been 4 Days.

Hello!I'm required to download InDesign (and other Adobe Creative Cloud programs) for a class I'm taking at my university. However, every time I try to download InDesign, it says that my computer is "Not Compatible." Whenever I click on the "Not Compatible" button, I get this message: "If you would like to install InDesign, you must update your system" (I attached an image of the pop-up if that helps)! However, when I go to update my computer, it shows that I'm all up-to-date (I also attached an image of the message). I'm not very tech-savvy, but I'm pretty sure my computer should be compatible with InDesign and other Adobe Creative Cloud Programs. I use a MacBook Air that I got in January of 2016. Let me know if there are any solutions that you know of!Thanks!

Gostaria de expor minha indignação em relação a obrigação de fazer upgrade de hardware para utilização de recursos inúteis em se tratando da finalidade do software. Em vez de serem inclusivos, estão cad vez mais gananciosos e dificultosos, mesmo cobrando caro e recebendo pelo serviço.Qual o problema de vocês? Até o momento que forem inúteis frente as novidades.Como pode não poder abrir um arquivo de InDesign por incompatibilidade, Deveria processar vocês por cobrar por um serviço que me impedem de utilizar

Hi there,   Is it possible to add padding, background and rounded borders to text automatically?   Something like this:   The above image was done with a shape behind text, but wondered if it can be done with just a text box?   Thanks<Title renamed by MOD>

Hi there, I'm an InDesign newbie, self taught. I am making a zine that is tabloaid size (11x17 inches) I have my spreads in InDesign setup and would like a PDF booklet to take into kinkos to print. When I go to "print booklet" and change my printer to postscript it keeps cutting off my PDF because the page size isn't correct. I can't change the page size in postscript because it's greyed out. If there is a better way I'm all ears, I just want a booklet, print ready file I can fold and staple on my own! Thanks 🙂

Estou fazendo um catalogo extenso em um PC e comprei outro para continuar o trabalho, porem o arquivo nao abre e minha nuvem simplesmente nao esta atualizando mesmo tendo espaço.  Ja tentei tambem usando outra nuvem, e passando os arquivos por pendrive, com todasa as imagens linkadas. O suporte da Adobe nao conseguiu me auxiliar. O que poderia estar acontecendo e como posso arrumar esse erro?

I am converting my print book into an epub in indesign. Most of the formatting is straight-forward, except for a contrapuntal poem (a poem that is two columns, both of which can be read individually or all together if the reader reads across the columns). Due to its formatting, I converted it to an image within the epub. I want to make sure I'm taking the correct approach to the alt text for the image to ensure that those using screen readers will be able to read the poem how it's intended to be read.  Below is how I wrote the alt text. Is this too long? If so, what's the best way to go about conveying this information accessibly?  This poem, titled "boundaries," is a contrapuntal poem. It's structured as two poems placed side by side, separated by a vertical line between them. Both poems can be read individually, or can be read together by reading across the vertical line, forming a new poem.The poem on the left reads as follows: it does not serve me, and stil

I want my master page item to stay on top of ALL my webpages. This is the way it is supposed to be place on every page in InDesign.But whenever I need to add or insert a new page. My entire top navigation bar is bumped down on all the following pages. Below is the result. Can people tell me what is causing that to happen and how this can be fixed?Thank you!

I'm exporting a book from InDesign to both PDF and EPUB formats. The EPUB must be flowable, and I'm using Aquile Reader to review the output. Most of the content converts well, but a large table is getting truncated during export.This table is critical and needs to retain its original structure. Because it's too large to fit within the two-column layout of the book, I anchored it to a section of the text that references it, rather than placing it directly inline. I've tried making the graph smaller, but that somehow made it worse.I've included screenshots below. What's the best way to ensure the full table exports properly in the flowable EPUB format?

Hallo zusammen,ich hätte da eine Frage, auf die ich nur eine Antwort habe, und diese hilft mir dann nicht weiter. Gehen wir davon aus, wir haben einen Titel in Helvetica, 30pt gross und fett. Im nächsten Abssatz folgt Fliesstext, 11 oder 12pt, Helvetica regular. Optisch nimmt man nun wahr, das das erste Zeichen des Titels wie auch das erste Zeichen in der ersten Zeile des folgenden Absatzes nicht in einer vertikalen Linie liegen. Alle hierzu relevanten Parameter in ID sind dafür nicht verantwortlich. Das Laden des verwendeten Fonts ein ein Programm zur Bearbeitung der Schrift zeigt einen linken Rand je Zeichen, der bei hoher Schriftgrösse optisch hervortritt. Kann man so etwas in ID lösen, ohne dabei grad weiss ich nicht was zu machen? Vielen Dank Urs 

I'm hoping someone can explain to me why this is happening: Apply a paragraph style to a paragraphSelect the paragraph by clicking four timesCopy text from any sourcePaste in InDesign. The pasted text replaces the selected paragraph and the paragraph style is lost, replaced with Basic Paragraph.  If instead of clicking four times to select the paragraph, I carefully select the paragraph leaving out the pilcrow paragraph symbol, then the paragraph is replaced with the incoming text but the paragraph style is retained. Is there a way to avoid the time-consuming selection? Is there a reason why this is the behavior (pasted text over selected paragraph changing the paragraph's style)? Just so everyone knows, what I'm doing is copying text from a PDF and pasting into an InDesign template that's been set up with dummy copy that has paragraph styles applied. Maybe there's a better way to handle that but I thought it was strange that I can't simply select a paragraph a

I have one large text thread. I have a second smaller text thread. I want to thread those boxes into the larger one. However, everytime I click the out port from the larger thread, and try to click the in port on the newer thread, it makes a new text box instead of using the existing one I'm clicking on. What am I missing? Thanks in advance. 

Hello,my InDesign 2025 crashes several times the day and there is no error message... whats the problem???Thank you in advanced for your support!

I changed the script name, and then my shortcut key stopped working.When I tried to set a new shortcut key for the new script, I noticed the old script name still appeared in the shortcut key settings.My previous workaround was to delete the shortcut key temporary files, which fixed it, but that's quite a hassle.Do you have any better solutions?

On the same machine, I have both InDesign Server and InDesign Desktop installed and operational. When the same document is opened on both InDesign Desktop and InDesign Server, InDesign Server displays a 'missing font' error for Open Sans Bold, whereas InDesign Desktop continues to function properly, and the Open Sans Bold font is visible.I have restarted both the InDesign Server and the machines, but the problem continues to occur.   Error - font manager Missing Font Open Sans Bold

Hallo Comminity, leider wird das Dialogfeld „Fehlende Schriftarten“ nicht mehr angezeigt (Indesign Version 20.5). Im Preflight und bei „Schrifart suchen/ersetzen“ wird es natürlich noch angezeigt. Ich hätte gerne das Dialogfeld wieder. Geht das? Chat GPT sagte mir das:Verstanden ✅ – das Problem ist:Das klassische Popup-Fenster „Fehlende Schriftarten“ lässt sich in den aktuellen InDesign-Versionen (ab ca. CC 2020/2021) nicht mehr aktivieren.Adobe hat das absichtlich geändert:Früher sprang das Dialogfeld sofort beim Öffnen auf.Heute wird stattdessen oben im Steuerungsbedienfeld / Eigenschaftenbedienfeld ein gelbes Warnsymbol mit Hinweis „Schriftarten fehlen“ eingeblendet. Ein Klick darauf öffnet direkt das Fenster Schriftart suchen….Adobe begründet das mit „weniger Unterbrechungen beim Dokumentstart“.👉 Kurz: Das Popup selbst ist abgeschafft – du kannst es in den Voreinstellungen nicht zurückholen. Danke 🙂 VG Claudia

Hello, in my work i have completed PDF files that i have to attach a QR to through a frame i have to place carefully.  I'm wondering if there is an INDD tool that will 'magic wand' a box in the artwork where a white box has been set aside for the QR code graphic.    The process i'm looking to do this:  set the background, use the 'magic wand' tool on background where the white box in the background is (pdf link) and it snaps a frame into that background white box.  Then i select the frame adjust a certain 'inches' (0.03" for instance) shorter, then move the created QR box into that new adjusted frame and resize the QR to fit to the frame.  Currently I have to zoom in very close, adjust the guides right onto the white edges of the box then change the value of the guide +/- 0.03 inches to form the guide frame for the QR box.  This takes considerable time, especially with multiple artworks to work on. is there anything in INDD like a 'magi

I just know somehow that if this was a real thing I could save a week's worth of time every month.  I produce a 40 page newsletter 12 times a year and it always takes about 5 days to complete a new issue.  The format is generally consistent from month to month, but bringing in new stories is such a brutally manual process!
