InDesign

Hello, we encountered a weird glitch when creating documents by InDesign server that contain anchored textframes.The textframes get created and anchored, but when opening the file in InDesign Desktop afterwards and selecting the frame, the "anchor mark" is invisible. Same for the "red square" when the frame is not anchored. However, when creating the same file in InDesign desktop, the "marks" are visible. Here is a little reproduction script (NOTE: I created a blank InDesign file beforehand to open it with this script):var currentDoc = app.open(new File("path/to/file")); var objParentTextFrame = currentDoc.textFrames.add(); var objInsertionPoint = objParentTextFrame.insertionPoints[0]; var objAnchoredTextFrame = objInsertionPoint.textFrames.add(); objAnchoredTextFrame.anchoredObjectSettings.anchoredPosition = AnchorPosition.ANCHORED; currentDoc.close(SaveOptions.YES, new File(jobFolder + "/path/to/saved/file")); Here the result when created by InDesign Desktop:&

Dear Adobe Support Team,I am a paid Adobe subscriber and currently using a late 2013 iMac. Unfortunately, many of the latest applications are not compatible with my system—for example, InDesign.I have spent quite some time searching on the Adobe website but have not been able to find where I can download the older versions of the software. Could you please advise me on how to access them, or provide assistance in resolving this issue?Thank you very much for your support.

I have often exported my files to HTML - but now encountered a problem with a missing chapter

Hello,In a desperate attempt to save the hair on my head, I would be very grateful for some help in solving what I hope is a simple issue. I create a calendaer each year using a script that creates a table for each month.  The table includes the month and dates - all that works well.  The table overlays an image but depending on the image, some of the calendar text is difficult to read so I want to apply a glow (or any other suitable effect) to make the text more readable. I select the text tool and can highlight the affected text but all effects options are greyed out.  I have tried selecting the table (and a specific cell) and can see an option to apply an effect to the text only but the effect is applied to the whole table.  Such a simple thing to do Photoshop but not in InDesign .. Help!! 🙂

Hi AllI created a document in InDesign Desktop version, imported xml (didn't 'tick' create link while import). When I open that document in InDesign Server it throws xml link missing..but in InDesign Desktop version I'm not getting any xml link missing..Please suggest, thank you.

I am unable to start indesign because this message pops up "Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign". I have uninstalled, restarted and reinstalled the InDesign App to no avail. Any advice on how to fix the problem?

tengo un problema recurrente con InDesign. Creo un archivo y enlazo varias imágenes sin problema. Cuando cierro el proyecto y lo vuelvo a abrir después de un par de días, las imágenes aparecen rotas en el documento.Lo extraño es que los enlaces no parecen estar perdidos: en el panel de Enlaces no me aparece el icono de error rojo, y las imágenes siguen en la misma carpeta, sin cambios de nombre ni ubicación. Creo que podría ser un problema de caché o de visualización, porque al actualizar manualmente un enlace a veces se soluciona.El problema es que esto me ha afectado a todos mis documentos de InDesign, no solo a uno en particular, lo que está poniendo en riesgo mi trabajo.¿A alguien más le ha pasado?

For example, my current column width is 81mm.I want this image to scale proportionally while preserving the cropping state.Rather than reverting to the uncropped state and then resizing to fit the column width. Following the traditional approach:item.fit(FitOptions.PROPORTIONALLY);item.fit(FitOptions.FRAME_TO_CONTENT);This appears to restore the image to its original state before scaling it to a width of 81mm. 

Hi can we please fix two things for the next update. - Export to pdf .. currently settings defaults to last previous file you were working on. So if last week i worked on a file exported page 1 of all. next week i may go to work on a diferrent file and that setting is still to export page 1 of all. - Solution is to have it default to the previous setting used of that same document.  not whatever last document.  (This has caught me out several times when I send a pdf off to someone and it only has one page in it which was puled in from as setting I may have alloctaed on a different project weeks ago). - Shift plus direct selection tool. (a) - when selecting multiple objects in this mode + holding shift.. some dissapear out of the selection.  

My mac mini M2 running MacOS Sequoia 15.5 won't voice read text I've typed into an Indesign document. All it says is "Adobe stock 2025" whether I have the cursor in the text box or have text highlighted to be voice read. How do I get my Mac mini M2 running MacOS Sequoia 15.5 to voice read the text I've typed with a True Type font in Indesign. I've  retyped in Indesign using an Open Type and the same thing happens.

Hi there,  novice here trying to get a book file out of indesign as an epub. But when validating the file I receive this message, can anyone help me get out of the weeds: Obfuscated resource must be a Font Core Media Type (was declared as "application/x-font-ttf" in "OEBPS/content.opf").Look at line 5 in this file: META-INF/encryption.xml

Hallo, ich habe noch CS6 auf meinem Rechner installiert und kein Adobe-Abo. Ich würde gern für einen kommerziellen Auftrag die Schrift Myriad Pro nutzen. Ist dies erlaubt? Meines Wissens war diese Schrift bei der Creative Suite 6 damals dabei. Oder muss ich dafür eine extra Lizenz kaufen? Vielen Dank vorab. 

Hi there,   I've been experiencing an issue for quite some time now, and with each update, I hope it gets resolved. It could be something on my end, but this problem always seems to occur unexpectedly, without any changes to my settings.   The issue mainly arises when I return to InDesign after working on something else on my laptop. When I revisit my designs, everything is greyed out, including other open files. Although I can still select individual items, that’s all I can do (I’ve attached a screenshot with everything selected). The only way to fix it is to save, close the file, and reopen it, which is quite frustrating as it disrupts my workflow.   Has anyone else encountered this? Does anyone have a solution?Thanks so much!   <Title renamed by MOD>

Can anyone help me with a GREP for making dashes consistent? I want all dashes to be sixth space, Em dash, sixth space:  

I work in book publishing so changing the size of a document is rarely done, but applying a master page with a different margin is a given to almost every project.Is there a way to still perform the function of Enable Layout Adjustment or is that gone to the wayside? For example, I could apply a master to a page and the objects adjacent to the margins would automatically snap to the size of the master. Items that were not touching the margins like ornaments or other text boxes would remain in place.Using the new Layout Adjustment feature, it does too much work and adjusts every object on the page, so it seems more problematic than helpful. Moreover, applying a different master to a page no longer automatically adjusts the boxes sizes to my margins.

When the Drop Cap to a paragrah starts with the letter "A" how do i adjust the tracking so the bottom of the "A" is not touching the other word? Basicly i want more space between the Drop Cap "A" and other words. Thoughts? 

I'm an editor/publisher working on a historically significant architecture book with 240 mostly B&W images requiring art book-quality reproduction. Photo editing and pre-press for others' work isn't my usual role. I'm completing one critical project to high standards, getting a scatter proof soon (16 pages on one 900x640mm sheet) from our European offset printer, with which we can also validate our RGB soft proofing workflow using PSO Coated v3.How about an approach where once we receive the scatter proof, we adjust our monitors to match the scatter proof closely in order to use it as a baseline reference for the rest of the job's images? Why or why not? We're not concerned about other projects. This is intended as a job-specific solution/workflow. The logic: Rather than generic calibration standards, this creates a job-specific calibration based on actual printing conditions. If our soft proofing is systematically different from press output, adjusting our monitor to match could g

Dear Adobe-Community,I am having repeated issues when trying to import PDF files into InDesign.The error message I receive is: “Trim box is missing or empty.”I have tried to edit the PDF and redefine the page frame in Acrobat, but this was not possible and the error message still appeared. As a workaround, I imported the file into Photoshop and exported it as a TIFF, which worked, but this is not a proper solution.This problem has occurred several times already, especially with PDF files that I did not create myself. Could you please advise what is causing this and how I can resolve it properly?Thank you very much in advance for your support.Best regards,Silke 

We're asking if the following workflow and division of labor is advisable, as it's our most readily available option: Can we execute all needed image aesthetics editing in RGB (mostly B&W architectural images) under our careful eye with our retoucher first, then send the image files to a color corrections color space conversion expert (RGB to CMYK, manual conversions/separations) to manually convert and translate that work accurately to CMYK for high-end offset printing? This is as opposed to having one vendor do it all. We'd place the manual color space convertor's work back into our ID doc and export to pdf using the printer's Fogra 51 profile.Is this division of labor between two parties (a retoucher, and then a color correctionist/separator) before printing not advisable? Ask any clarifying questions.

Using a frame to fit the content seems to only shrink the bottom.I just ran into this problem again today.Double-clicking the box on the right will definitely work.

Hay alguna manera de cambiar las etiquetas de indesign para que no aparezca la etiqueta Blanca, anularla para que no la escoja?Es una etiqueta sin sentido porque no se ve, salvo que tengas un fondo oscuro Gracias
