InDesign

Hi, I have to use Microsoft Remote Desktop for work and when I open InDesign (2024), the scrolling sensitivity using my touchpad is way too high. I see suggestions saying to go to "Page Display" under either File or View, but I do not have that option in either. I could not find it in Preferences either.  My computer is a 2024 Macbook Air, and I believe I remote into a Windows Server 2019 Standard. Because I am so used to using my Mac, this small detail makes designing for my new job quite unpleasant. Does anyone know how to fix this?   On a similar note, I can no longer pinch the trackpad to zoom in or out, is this fixable, or is it only available on Mac?     <Title renamed by MOD>

Double-click the two rows, and you'll see it has two values.It's not perfectly centered? Another issue: How to remove “tabs” from the table?Sometimes it's a visible “>>”.Sometimes it's invisible, possibly embedded within a paragraph style.The code below clears right indentation; I want to remove "tabs" simultaneously. //0 Go left indent to 0 (function () { var oColumns = app.selection[0].columns, i = 0, rCount = app.selection[0].rows.length, cCount = app.selection[0].columns.length, name, lastCell; for (; i < oColumns.length; i++) { name = app.selection[0].cells[i].name.split(':'); lastCell = rCount > 1 ? oColumns[i].cells.item(name[0] + ':' + (Number(name[1]) + rCount - 1)) : oColumns[i].cells[-1]; alignMe(oColumns[i].cells.itemByRange(app.selection[0].cells[i], lastCell)); function alignMe(lCells) { lCells.paragraphs.everyItem().justification = Justification.LEFT_ALIGN;

I need to export a document in PDF format in several sizes. While using a 3rd-party utility that simply rescales the entire PDF, I've noticed that all bookmarks and the table of contents were gone after the conversion. First question here: why is it so? Is there any way around it? Trying to find a more elaborate solution, I created an Alternate Layout in InDesign.With Linked Stories, both layouts have a connected ToC. Upon exporting the new layout, though, while the bookmarks stay, they are dead (inactive, clicking on them doesn't bring anything).  I may be missing something very simple but I am not sure. Is there anything I can do to perform this action reliably?The original format is larger than the second one, if this can be of any help.

Hello!I am working on some Instagram posts and trying to add a pre-made image, but although my document is set up as 1080x1350 and the image is 3508x4961, the image still looks tiny. Is there a way to change my document's PPI? or does anyone know what the problem is? Pleeeaaase I do not want to re-draw my illustration.

Amazing, endless questions: Why don't the rows come up afterward? 

I've always found it odd that you can't simply update your current custom workspace, surely this would be a simple feature to implement by adding a new item at the bottom of the workspace dropdown menu? 

Bonjour, je dois insérer une citation en arabe dans un paragraphe en français sur Indesign. Lorsque je regarde le tuto d'Adobe ça à l'air très simple sauf que mes panneaux Paragraphes et Caractères ne présentent pas les mêmes options que les leurs : je n'ai pas le sens de lecture, les ligatures, les kashidas et non plus la direction des caractères. Je ne les trouve nulle part. Savez-vous comment je dois faire pour que ces options apparaissent et puisse être utilisées? Sachant qu'il ne s'agit que d'extrait et pas d'un document entier rédigé en arabe. (j'ai la dernière version d'Indesign). Merci d'avance

Ignore the overflow for now.I divided all textFram of the Story into 3 categories:A: The first text box.B: The middle text box.C: The last text box.How can I determine which category (A, B, or C) the currently selected text box belongs to? 

I'm working on some banners for a sports team and we'd like to have the player's name fill the available space, ideally by modifying the Horizontal Scale. Is there a way to do this with the data merge tool built in. What I've done currently is scale it down for the longest name but this causes some names to be really squished.

I am trying to create a dynamic pdf available to all users of adobe acrobat or reader where I have 23 pages in one document and now I want to have buttons or checkboxes that if clicked I want to view certain pages of the document and hide the rest to be printed and it allows multiple selections as well.

how can I extend this path I created with the pen tool?    

Bonjour,Je voulais savoir comment faire un agenda de plus de 192 pages sur indesign ? J'ai entendu parler de "calendrier wizard". Comment fait on concrètement ?Merci beaucoup.

Bjr, Depuis la mise a jour d'Indesign, je n'arrive plus à importer un PDF avec les traits de coupe et debord, dans un bloc image. Par défaut, il importe le fichier recadré (aux traits de coupe). Mon fichier est en mode impression. Je ne connais pas le logiciel qui a généré les PDF. Je vous joins un exemple.Je suis sous MAC Sequoiai 15.4.1 et Indesign 2025.Merci bcp pour votre aide, j'ai un catalogue à monter pour l'imprimeur ...

Is there a way to set FN settings across multiple files or all the files in a book? There certain things that synching styles will not cover.ThanksSF

Sometimes I open the dialog box, but then realize it was a mistake, so I cancel it.At this point, I get an empty value, which causes an exception.How can I cancel the dialog box and make it seem like nothing happened? function makeDialog() { var mm = 2.835; var theDialog = app.dialogs.add({ name: "CN and CSP settings", canCancel: true, minHeight: 600, minWidth: 400, }); with (theDialog.dialogColumns.add()) { staticTexts.add({ staticLabel: "CN:" }); staticTexts.add({ staticLabel: "SP:" }); } with (theDialog.dialogColumns.add()) { getCn = integerEditboxes.add({ editValue: 4 }); app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS; getCsp = measurementEditboxes.add({ editValue: (6 * mm), editUnits: MeasurementUnits.millimeters }); } if (theDialog.show() == true) { getCn = getCn.editContents; getCsp = getCsp.editValue / mm; //run a function that uses the global results

There are two situations here.alert does not automatically center?alert(“This is the first line\nAfter a line break, it cannot be centered and can only be spaced with spaces?”) showDialog() cannot wrap lines? Only one line can be displayed.showDialog(“Note: Please select an object. How to break lines here”, 1000);//auto close dialog showDialog(“Note: Please select an object. How to break lines here”, 1000); function showDialog(message, duration) { var win = new Window(“palette”, t, undefined, { closeButton: false }); win.add(“statictext”, undefined, message); // Change font size It doesn't seem to work. win.graphics.font = ScriptUI.newFont(“Heiti”, ScriptUI.FontStyle.BOLD, 20); win.layout.layout(true); // Force layout before showing win.show(); win.update(); // Force redraw before sleep $.sleep(duration); // Wait for the specified duration win.close(); // Then close the window } 

Is there a way to save indesign as a word doc?   <Title renamed by MOD>  

Hi everyone,I'm probably forgetting something here, but I have game cards with a Parent set up with text frames (linked) and 5 Parents based on that parent without the text boxes.I've added flowing text to the deck. When I adjust the position of the text frames on the Parent, the others moved. However, after some editing, I adjusted a text frame on the Parent, and the frame stayed in place on the other document pages. The frames seemed to adjust properly on the other 5 Parent pages.I thought removing local overrides might help, but it doesn't update anything.Any suggestions / guidance? thanks! 

OS: MACINDESIGN VERSION : InDesign CC 2022PDF setting : PDF/x-1a:2001Flatten Transparency:  YesColor profile and InDesign version are same,. Color seeting: below attached color setting While creating a PDF from InDesign CC2022 verison there is visual difference. Please advice    

If I look at the "Cell Options" - I have Text, Graphic, Strokes-and-Fills, Rows-and-Columns, and Diagonal-Lines.If I look at the options for "Cell Styles" - I have Text, Graphic, Strokes-and-Fills, and Diagonal-Lines.Why can't I put the specifications under Rows-and-Columns into a Cell Style? The furthest down I can get with Keyboard Shortcuts is Rows-and-Columns. I cannot apply a keyboard shortcut to a specific element inside that menu. Is there any way to EASILY apply "start row on next odd page" to a whole bunch of different cells/rows? Can I add this to a Cell Style somehow, that I am missing?

Hi, we are trying to set up a file with some of the text wrapped around side by side, which means there will be several text boxes on every page, we need the footnotes to be at the bottom of each page as shown in the first image and not at the bottom of the text box it is referenced in (second image). Any suggestions how to do it? With a script? Detach the notes? how? Thank you!      

Hi there, is there any way to get the Iptc4xmpCore:AltTextAccessibility tag from a placed file using UXP script or ExtendScript?The documentation under https://developer.adobe.com/xmp/docs/XMPNamespaces/Iptc4xmpCore/ does not even mention the tag.Additionally I cannot declare any xmp objects because require("uxp").xmp is always undefined. Do I have to install anything? I tried UXP V. 7.4.2 (ID 2024 19.5.4) and UXP V. 8.1.6 (ID 2025 20.5)Every hint is appreciated 🙂

Not a huge deal and its fixed by relinking. But, I have never had problems with images and now its occuring on two different jobs and two different computers (I think, lol). Images are jpeg. Keeps recurring even though I am relinking each time it happens which is pretty much every day. Image size is approximately same size of box, so there is very little sizing. Using Command-D to insert image. Wondering if maybe has something to do with me transferring the files between the two computers on a flash drive. I transfer the entire job folder so thinking it shouldn't be a problem with location names. One computer is iMac circa 2017 (Ventura OS) and the other a late model Mini with Sequoia so maybe thats the source of the issue. 

I am trying to copy graphics from Illustrator to Indesign but the bounding box gets very large for no reason at all. I'm just  clicking ctrl c and ctrl v I'm attaching pictures for example     <Title renamed by MOD>  

I have set the scale ahead of time to convert the units to mm:app.documents.item(0).viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS; app.documents.item(0).viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.MILLIMETERS;I get a value 100 from the file name(100):myWidth = Number(getFileName[1]);Then assign the size in the object style:w.transformAttributeOptions.transformAttrWidth = myWidth;Sometimes it's correct, it's 100mm.But sometimes the result j is 35.278 mm.Then I know it treats it as 100 points.How can I make sure that "w.transformAttributeOptions.transformAttrWidth" always gets 100mm?
